I bank mainly online but I did have a shared account with my wife at a traditional bank with that service. Unfortunately they started taking 2-3 weeks to mail it to my landlord two miles away, so I gave up on that.

They need to switch to Webauthn. SMS-based 2FA should’ve been big 10+ years ago, not today. I don’t really understand why this old style 2FA has been just now becoming popular lately.
Maybe a checking account with more than a $2,000 daily debit limit so I can pay a fortune to live in a 60’s-era shithole (but it’s “aesthetic”). Or a landlord that accepts modern payment methods.
Gonna have to buy a checkbook probably. What century is this?
I really don’t understand how it’s just me though. One MultiSensor 7 completely fell off the network, requiring a factory reset. After factory resetting supposedly I’m supposed to tap the button to get a solid yellow for inclusion, but after two factory resets tapping it once is a solid green.
It really feels like this is just garbage, backward technology.
I’m in an urban environment where I’m surrounded by people using crappy ISP-supplied routers set to broadcast 2.4 GHz at maximum power.
Personally I use a Ubiquiti U6-Pro with bandwidth steering to 5 GHz because the 2.4 GHz side is just trash (even with nightly channel optimization). I’d love to simply shut off 2.4 GHz but a lot of IoT insists on using it (god knows why).
As far as the Z-Wave controller, it’s an Aeotec 5th generation Z-Stick but no, I’m not using a USB extension. I’m in a tiny apartment with the Raspberry Pi 4 it’s plugged into in the middle of the apartment. I’ve only got four sensors using Z-Wave but it’s always been horribly unreliable.
For what it’s worth, about once per year the Philips hue lights just fall off and I end up factory resetting those too (I always mistakenly try to change the Zigbee channel when they’ve already disappeared).
I’ve got Philips hue lights that use Zigbee but I thought it also tried to hog 2.4 GHz spectrum; though I’m more open to it as of late considering my horrible luck with Z-Wave.
In high school while studying Katakana one of the coolest things was having a dream of walking around Tokyo and reading the Katakana everywhere.
I’m married to a Mexican but I enjoyed learning Spanish in school (in the Midwest); later in life after moving to Los Angeles I started using Spanish quite a bit.
If I can nudge you to try learning it, you might end up enjoying it. I’m crazy busy with work too but I’ve started learning Mandarin online with a tutor and after a bit of a learning curve, it’s deeply satisfying when things start to click.
I may just go the Aqara route, I gave Z-Wave a shot and wished it were better but I’m really burned out.
The thing I’ll miss is air temperature — I have electric space heaters that are dependent on that. Currently I have a handful of Aeotec MultiSensor 7 that handle that.
I prefer the original too. It’s like the macOS boot sound and Apple trying to get rid of it — it’s too much of a classic.
I like the “ransomware scumbag” language but at the same time, it feels like companies only give a shit about security after an incident.
Honestly I just always do this when buying a new iPhone. I have iCloud backups turned on but even with blazing fast Internet restoring from iCloud seems to take forever.
What I hate is I love encrypting my flash drives but every OS prompts you to wipe the drive if it doesn’t recognize the encryption scheme of another. 👎
I drive an Audi (it’s okay, I’m a scumbag), but I 100% agree. And what’s with the people that signal the opposite direction they’re going?
And to stir the pot: stopping in the middle of the street to unload passengers when there’s loads of curbside parking available. Bonus points if they do all this and use their hazards as if that’s a valid use case.
The problem is I need Unbound to send queries via one network interface (the VPN) while the specific zone needs to be routed through another.
I know what split tunneling is, but I have my routing set up exactly as I’d like.
The issue here is that Unbound seems unable to send queries to one forwarding zone using a specific interface/IP address and sending queries to a second forwarding zone using a completely different interface/IP address.
I’m almost at the point where I want to create a virtual interface that just has rules that say “if going to 192.168.143.1
use /dev/tailscale0
” and then have a default route to /dev/wg0
.
I’m not a professional but my current Tailscale + VPN setup has been extremely nice for the past year.
Distracted driving because it seems like the government completely gave up on enforcing texting while driving laws.
More generally, drivers being completely unaware of their surroundings and causing almost accidents everywhere they go because everyone around them has to correct for them as to not cause an accident.
Annoyingly I go back and forth because whichever pronunciation I’m on sounds worse than when I hear it the other way.
I’ve resorted to that, but I had to buy money orders on different days due to the debit daily transaction limit.
