Technically, yes, but I’m a bit lazy. If I can overengineer a workaround…

Yes my cylinder isn’t compatible, it won’t allow inserting a key from the other side. But I saw they sell a replacement one for 100 euro

Not being internet connected isn’t the end of the world, but that hidden expensive in-app purchase is really scammy because you would only notice that after you bought the device, after installation and probably even after the return window. All YouTube reviewers got the pro model, which doesn’t have this artificial limitation. If I didn’t watch that video, I would noticed that after years (I don’t have enough matter/thread devices to justify the purchase of a hub yet)

And also the door opening sensor isn’t included in the box but of course YouTube reviewers are showing it as part of the kit because they got all included. And the product page doesn’t specify that explicitly.

Searched the user manual in PDF to learn more about the product, it’s 4 sentences that explain absolutely nothing

So in the end I wanted the base model over the pro because for me having 4 AAs instead of a “proprietary” battery pack (4 AAs in a custom plastic shell) is much better and giving direct full internet access to the door lock via WiFi is too scary… but between the missing opening sensor, the IAP, the build quality, I think I will choose another one

Nice this looks compatibile, except for the open sensor, my door has an ultra thick frame and it’s only possible to install it at 12 cm, while the guide says 4 cm max. Does it really need it?

Thanks for the link, in that thread I found two promising products, Nuki and tedee.

One is small and stylish but uses a tiny expensive single use battery, the other is plasticly and bulky but uses 4 standard AAs

I’ll check specs carefully to see if they have enough torque

Edit: the 190 euro Nuki lock is advertised as “matter/thread compatible” but you need to pay a 50 euro in-app purchase in order to enable it. This is not stated anywhere, including the user manual, website and support faq. I discovered that from a YouTube review

There are so many burglars here that this kind of door is the standard in any apartment

When you close it, it’s not possible* to open it again from outside

* = only the triangular piece engages, so a professional can unlock it from outside by using a thin sheet of steel

I thought I had keys in my pocket, instead it was a different bunch. The keys were inserted in the socket from the inside, it doesn’t allow to insert the key from the other side, so I couldn’t use the backup pair that I keep in a separate location

Ah maybe I was missing the ./ , it said garage not found on path (on mobile, can’t try)

I set garage via docker and it was not impossibly hard.

Main problem is that there isn’t an admin panel and you can’t login to the docker container via docker exec, so you have to write some python (or other language of your choice) to send requests to the API port to:

1. Set the layout of your server
2. Create an user
3. Create a bucket
4. Assign that bucket to your user

No matter on which country the iot device it’s made, giving internet access to them in military bases is madness. IOT must be on a separate VLAN without any internet access. No exceptions, they’re usually running buggy firmware based on ancient Linux versions and no updates are ever released or installed. They’re exploitable time bombs

The best option would be a checkbox to exclude the sharing of VAC games

With paid certificates you can target ancient and unsupported operating systems like windows XP and android 2, letsencrypt is relatively recent and it’s not present in the root certificates of those systems

Wow this is art

Technically, if it wasn’t for the unofficial server component, you had to pay for a subscription even if you self host

I made something crude with python and flask, but it’s only to print address labels, always the same settings (paper size and so on)

So i just put a textbox, press the button and it prints there.

When printing generic stuff, you would need to set paper type, paper size, color or BW, if have both sides printed, if printing from a specific tray, then some kind of user authentication (i am lazy and i didn’t care about privacy so i used cloudflare access), so the complexity becomes much bigger.

Before making my crude script I searched long time for a free or cheap solution, but I didn’t find. If you find, let me know

Making Disney licensed toys is a legal nightmare even for Hasbro

The problem is that they trained the models using millions of pirated books in standard english.

AAE is mostly used when spoken: they also pirated also millions of tv series and youtube videos that can contain that, but as of now, it was mostly for training voice recognition models

(proof that they pirated television content and youtube videos to train whisper: https://community.openai.com/t/subtitles-created-by-amara-org-qtss-etc/462561 - https://gist.github.com/riotbib/3b3c5f817b55b68801d14b8bdb02df09)

The free tier is faster than paid tiers of lower quality VPNs.

I assume that the paid tier would be excellent

This said, I find it too expensive for my uses

I had the same situation, my hotel used fortinet and they blocked almost everything

Even VPNs that used to work in China were blocked

I used my phone 4g hotspot to initialize the tailscale connection, which was blocked, I chose my server as an exit point, then I switched back to the WiFi. Amazingly, once logged in to tailscale, it kept connected to my server.

Then for added safety I used my kasm install to stream a Firefox browser running on my server

I don’t really understand this, why would a hotel pay thousands and thousands of euro for a “Chinese internet experience” that is going to piss off every single customer

I got a generic office range Logitech and it’s super silent
