    You should rename the now defunct app to Reddit was Fun on the play store for the final act.

    What about skipping light detection entirely, and determine the sunrise and sunset times by having the microcontroller calculate those using GPS coordinates, received from a GPS receiver hooked up.

    You could reduce power consumption by only updating the GPS location once a day or something, and make it solar powered to make it run off the grid.

    Anyway, just a thought :)

    I'm glad I have a house, because jeez the price of rentals is definitely not sane for the average wage.

    The mobile UI, at least as far as I know, doesn't allow you to configure a DNS-over-HTTPS server, which can be useful as an additional layer for ad filtering no matter on which network you are.

    You can do so by modifying the following preferences

    Preference Value
    network.trr.mode 2
    network.trr.uri https://dns.adguard-dns.com/dns-query

    network.trr.mode

    • 0 - Off (default). use standard native resolving only (don't use TRR at all)
    • 1 - Reserved (used to be Race mode)
    • 2 - First. Use TRR first, and only if the name resolve fails use the native resolver as a fallback.
    • 3 - Only. Only use TRR, never use the native resolver.
      • Up to FF >= 73, this mode also requires the bootstrapAddress pref to be set.
      • Starting with Firefox 74, setting the bootstrap address is no longer mandatory - the browser will simply bootstrap itself using regular DNS, unless the DoH server domain can't be resolved.
      • The native resolver will still be used for portal detection and telemetry (Bug 1593873)
    • 4 - Reserved (used to be Shadow mode)
    • 5 - Off by choice. This is the same as 0 but marks it as done by choice and not done by default.

    Automatic BIOS updates are a good idea security-wise, but IMO these should only be pushed on mobo with Dual-BIOSes (A/B) and checksum verification.

    This week I've been pushing some server updates and software configurations on our EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response, basically the antivirus) that could affect production nationwide, on top of being on-call for some stuff. This weekend I'll be doing some work in the backyard and enjoy the swimming pool a bit, and I'll play some video games (hesitating between Insurgency: Sandstorm, No Man's Sky, Shadows of Doubt or Battlebit: Remastered) before going to bed.

    Worst case if you run short is to deploy a PoE injector at the patch panel level. If you only have one or two of them it's not too bad.

    Sort of like a user tag.

    Other than that I think the user page is good enough, with the ability to fill up our bio as we please (within reason).
