@jack_daniel He wrote the best guide to how to handle corruption that I’ve ever read. It should be required reading for anyone travelling somewhere they’re likely to encounter petty bribery.

^ not sure wtf

The genius of it is how he explains the world view that you have to operate inside, as well as the ways to navigate it. From paying bribes to pulling out fake journalist credentials, to deescalating situations and handling egos and reputations. How to give face and keep things from getting out of hand.

Truly amazing. I don’t know if he wrote anything else that was any good, but this was excellent.

@tqbf 90125 (and "Owner") was written mostly by Trevor Rabin, who was new to the band. That, plus a significant use of new synth technology, gave it a really different sound than previous Yes lineups.

@Viss The warning tells you that you can now remove it from configuration.yaml since it's been imported into the GUI.

@Viss The Generic Camera integration isn't going away, only configuring it via configuration.yaml is. You can do the same thing via the GUI. :)

@Viss Check the link for Generic camera, it supports digest auth.

@Viss I've used the Generic Camera integration (home-assistant.io/integrations)

So in this case it would be something like this, and you'd put your extra parameter in the still_image_url.

camera:
- platform: generic
name: Driveway
still_image_url: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?stream=0&username=12345&password=12345
stream_source: rtsp://192.168.1.1/h264?username=12345&password=12345
username: 12345
password: 12345
verify_ssl: false
framerate: 1

@Viss Can't you specify the still_image_url that includes that parameter in your config?

@raineer @Viss @jerry Realistically, you don't need a support contract if your in-house staff knows how to keep it running. If that thing breaks irreparably, or your SME leaves, then you can let that broken thing go if it wasn't really that important to you.

But if that thing is really important to your business AND you don't have someone in-house that can fix it or support it, then you really want that support contract. Of course, you can also try to find an hourly consultant to fix it.. probably for more than the cost of a support contract.

@riskybusiness Nah it's not atrocious. Pretty average I'd say.

Domain Admin is not for everyone. Do not take Domain Admin if you also use shared passwords. Serious side effects could occur, such as unexpected reboots, application crashes, malware, or ransomware. Ask your security consultant if Domain Admin is for you.

It sounds to me like many of my poker-playing hackers are not yet signed up for the EFF Charity Poker Tournament at @defcon.bsky.social

It's a great way to kick off your con, at noon on Friday, leaving you satisfied that you started with a bang (and a good deed) and then free to do utterly anything else all weekend! ♦️♣️♥️♠️

@Viss The team in charge of physical facility security really should have known better. Maybe that location had unique layout restrictions but this is the kind of stuff they plan for.

This is fascinating! The Braille Institute has developed a font - free to download - that's designed to be clearer for readers with lower vision.

An example of one of the aspects of low legibility that they tackled attached.

It's named Atkinson Hyperlegible. Atkinson was the Institute's founder - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Rober

Here's where you can read about the font and download it: brailleinstitute.org/freefont

For Low vision readers – certain letters and numbers can be hard to distinguish from one another.

Answer – Atkinson Hyperlegible differentiates common misinterpreted letters and numbers using various design techniques.

The examples in the screenshot show how similar B and 8 can look, as well as 1, I, i, and l.
