PHLAK

I’d much rather praise them when they do something well, but this is so hard to spot when just reading over committed code. All the obstacles they cleared are not visible in there.

This is SO true and exactly why code reviews always feel like a beat down (even when they’re not). There’s no visibility into the truly good work that’s already been done.

Everything old is new again.

“all your vscode extensions still work fine” is definitely not true. Sure a vast majority of them probably do, but certainly not all of them.

I still prefer it over full VS Code though.

I am super impressed with Arch on my home servers. People seem to think “rolling” means “unstable” but the only issues I’ve had were due to some weird hardware incompatibility with my motherboard. Once I replaced the mobo my system has been rock solid AND reasonably up-to-date (I do use LTS kernel).

My bill hasn’t changed but maybe I was grandfathered in.

Yes, I’m aware. Still as good at it’s always been

I’ve been using Linode for a decade (or more) now without any issues. I’d encourage you to contact their support about this issue. Assuming you’re on the up-and-up this sounds like a big and in sure they’d be happy to help.

If you decide not to go with Linode though I think Digital Ocean is a good alternative.

I’d rather they use the open standard. Google should, too. If there are shortcomings with the standard then let’s improve the standard, not create a custom implementation of it.

If you can hard wire an ESP32 via Ethernet that would probably be best. You could also get better latency with an ESP32 over WiFi. However, a ZigBee button should be pretty low latency already.

Anecdotally I get perceptibly instant response from an ESP32 over WiFi.

Awesome, what server chassis is that?

I know this is just a joke but why would he be calling HR instead of security?

You say this like restoring net neutrality prevents these things from happening. They’re not mutually exclusive.

I agree that Hue bulbs are expensive compared to others but they generally are considered some of the best bulbs for color accuracy and build quality. I’ve considered getting Hue bulbs before but definitely wont be now.
