Namecheap API works just fine with Certbot DNS challenges for me, FWIW.

I don’t use Haier products but a similar thing happened with Chamberlain when they blocked the MyQ integration even though it was using the legitimate API and not breaking any rules. No attempt to work with anyone in the HA community at all, just shut everything down.

On one hand, this means projects like Home Assistant are getting popular enough to have enough usage to effect these companies. So that’s great! In the long term, we’ll all figure out solutions, but in the short term it feels like an increasing fight between corporate and open-source control over smart devices.

IMO, it’s also worth the yearly cost for voice integration with Google Nest/Home or similar devices. Both can be done without paying but it’s so much easier and I know it’ll be supported over time.

In a civil case like this, admitting they were wrong is way more embarrassing than having to pay a fine.

How could this possibly be ruled as Constitutional? Let alone any remaining shadow of ‘party of small government’ irony, that shipped sailed into the West a long, long time ago.

There’s also a third audience most people don’t consider: everyone reading the thread that isn’t engaging directly.

You might not convince the direct ‘opponent’ in an internet debate, but can still make an impact on others that might be more open to listening to a new perspective.

you’re the arbiter of the free market now, eh

Broadcasting on TV these days is less likely to reach a wide audience than posting on the internet, but a platform is a platform.

I have a DS418play which is several generations behind and it runs a dozen Docker containers, including all of my media automation, just fine. I even host a Minecraft server for my nephews!

And fully supported by Synology, too! They are pretty good at embracing the community while still keeping security as a priority.

Yeah, but it kinda makes him a hypocrite now, don’t it?

“The takeaway I got is that she wants to turn our schools into pedophile molestation factories,” DePape testified

Honest question: what does “pedophile molestation factory” even mean?!

I’m sure he would also be the first to complain if someone stronger beat him and wanted to play by their rules, too.

It’s harder and less effective with more districts, however.

I’m sure he is equally disgusted by the displays of heterosexuality in most parades, or maybe he is blind to that because that’s “normal”.

No, the two party ‘system’ is a natural byproduct of how our current election process works. If we saw the rise of a third party, it would eventually supplant one of the existing major parties, just like we’ve seen in the past.

How would such a thing be financially viable? Once the ability to connect to any website exists, the physical cost to access everything else is essential nothing.

Israel is a country, not a religion.

I don’t think I’ve heard it in real life that much

Well, there was that one time a football player from Notre Dame did it, but the jury still seems to be out on whether he was just catfished or was in on the scam.

That video is included in the article, it’s just at the very bottom for some reason.
