I started ignoring articles on XDA about things "I can't live without" and found that I can, in fact, live without the articles.

Evaluating smart home protocols from a European digital sovereignty perspective:

The reality is that Z-Wave, Zigbee, and Thread are all predominantly controlled by American business interests. There is no neutral "Switzerland" here.

• Z-Wave: Proprietary and owned by a single US chipmaker. Closed ecosystem.
• Zigbee: Managed by a US-led alliance. Pay-to-play for certification.
• Thread/Matter: Steered by Google/Apple/Amazon.

However, Thread remains the most viable choice for open-source purists. Unlike the others, the reference implementation (OpenThread) is BSD-licensed. While we cannot change the governance, we can fully audit the code, verify the security stack, and run it locally without proprietary blobs.

Everybody seems to be talking about the Board of Peas these days. 🤔

Does anyone know why the go vulnerability database is lagging behind so often? Is it by design, lack of contributors or something else?

I can't really trust the govulncheck tool to catch security vulnerabilities when it can seemingly takes days before even critical vulnerabilities are detected. 😢

How to play Whamageddon

The goal: To last as long as possible without hearing the original Wham! version of "Last Christmas".

The deadline: The game ends on Christmas Eve (December 24th).

Getting "out": You are out of the game the moment you hear and recognize the original song.

What counts: Only the original recording by Wham! will get you out.

What doesn't count: Covers or remixes of the song are safe and do not count as an elimination.

Announcing defeat: If you get eliminated, you can announce your loss and share your story by using the hashtag #whamageddon

I have no doubt that used appropriately AI can save a bit of time here and there. But it will just as readily burn up any real or perceived gains. And then some.

Hvorfor er der ingen der taler om at MitID har været nede for alle der har brug for pas validering i over en uge, som når man skifter mobil eller f.eks. ved glemt pinkode.

Anyone advocating that monoliths are better than microservices has clearly never had to run a testsuite with more than 10000 unit tests on every code change.

En økonomisk alliance fokuseret udelukkende på overfladisk, "pæn" økonomi uden dybde.

For those who enjoy being right, correcting an AI's mistakes will earn you gushing praise. Ie.

"You've hit on a common and subtle point [...] Your diagnosis is exactly right."

"You are absolutely right. Your suspicion points to a key distinction [...]"

"Excellent catch, and my apologies for the error in the previous response. You are absolutely correct. Your detailed understanding of the [...] documentation is spot on."

If only it would realise it before giving me the incorrect or unworkable answer I have to correct it on.

Still... Better than a Google search these days.
