It broke on me which is how I found out about the depreciation, but I don’t remember the details to be fair.

I’m pretty sure that stopped working months ago…

You’ve probably been running out of date containers.

Infuse is great…

If you pay. I’d love an alternative tho

I see this as only a win. The incompetence will make it backfire, meanwhile it takes ICE thugs off the streets.

Legitimately the darkest possible outcome I can imagine

I mean don’t get me wrong they weren’t a huge movement, but compared to now they were much bigger then.

The Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA) hit peak membership in the late 40’s, before being hit hard by the post-ww2 red scare/McCarthyism

Yeah but back then there was actually a respectably sized Communist movement in the US. Not so much now

I’d have to send a thank you letter

Pinning your versions just means updating will be a pain, and you’ll probably start running outdated containers that are security risks.

It’s not like you’re doing code audits every updates anyway. Just use containers that are established and seem trustworthy. It’s all you can really do.

Unnatural. Should be illegal.

Yeah I got the Third Reality ones, they take AAA batteries instead of the coin cells that most take.

I have a button on my bedroom wall and two others one on each nightstand.

Pressing the one on the wall once turns on the main lights. Double press controls the lamps.

On the nightstands it’s opposite. One press for lamp, two for main light. Long press any of them to turn everything off.

My living room has a similar setup, but like you I have a dual light/fan. I keep the fan controlled by the pull chain and the lights are smart bulbs that are controlled by the wall button.

I just took some Zigbee buttons and stuck em on the wall. I rent though, so I can’t mess with the wiring. Works well. I have Zigbee bulbs so I just put little 3D printed covers on the real switches to keep the power going to the smart bulbs.

But can’t you get a smart switch with physical controls? What tech do you use to control your lights/switches/relays? Zigbee? WiFi? Matter/Thread?

I’d do something like this: https://a.co/d/022pOcJo if I could. (Not recommending this brand… Didn’t research it.)

WiFi ones exist too but I wouldn’t want to permanently install WiFi smart home stuff. If you’re going this far invest into a Zigbee or Matter over Thread radio. It works great with Homeassistant.

Some drama on their licensing situation:

What an absolutely weak half assed attempt to do nothing. Looked pathetic.

Cloudflare. They sell and renew at cost ($12 iirc)

I hear Porkbun does/did as well but I haven’t looked in a long time.

Take a burner and live stream. Do not keep any sensitive info or log into anything other than the live streaming platform.

If you have your personal phone on you TURN IT OFF when law enforcement is nearby. The most secure state for your phone is before you unlock it after it boots up. The first unlock decrypts it and makes it much more vulnerable.

Residents of US territories don’t pay federal income tax.

Maybe. Small consolation prize. Puerto Rico doesn’t pay federal income taxes, though they do get citizenship.

American Samoans don’t pay federal income taxes but they also don’t get citizenship.

They would never be a state. They’d be a territory. A colonial holding with no citizenship given automatically to the inhabitants.
