  • I’ve put a few smart lights/switches/sensors/power points in at home. Definitely helps mum as we can have wireless switches for the lights, and motion sensors to turn the hallway lights on automatically as well.

    For ALL of them, I make sure there is a manual control that will work as a backup regardless. Even if a smart light is “off” due to the motion sensor not detecting movement, all you need to do is turn the old regular light switch off then back on and the light will default to being back on.

    Yep, companies give “unlimited PTO” because it’s a way to actually reduce the amount of PTO employees take.

    Give them 20 days PTO/year? They’ll take around 20 a year.

    Give them unlimited PTO? They need to justify every bit of PTO, so probably only get to take 4 or 5 for important days.







  • Words are inaccurate.

    It is perfectly possible to be tough on border security without treating people like sub human trash.

    You can make a border more difficult to illegally bypass, while also opening the gates to more to ensure that people are documented. Turning potential “illegals” into legal immigrants. This reduces the need to try and get through the border illegally. This is obviously a very basic over view, lacking any kind of thought into policy for supporting them.

    Of course, if someone’s definition of tougher on border security is “fuck off, we’re full”, with the border having razor wire and armed guards shooting on sight, then they would disagree with the above.


  • If you have docker containers and other stuff all on that USB drive I’d really reccomend getting it all off that USB (not just logging) and onto a proper drive of some kind. USB thumb sticks are not reliable long term storage, you will wake up to find the drive failing one day and good chance you lose everything on it with little to no warning.
