For example, I opt out of all emails from a website. A year later they make a new newsletter and auto subscribe all to it.

I login, hit unsubscribe, then report as spam in my email client.

I figure auto adding me is more/less spamming me. Do y'all agree?

Anyone having a new issue where swiping from the left to go back to the thread list from a thread doesn't load properly and instead shows a black screen for a second or so.

So I was using a wood sealer (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AQTX3XU) on my newly built catio. Unfortunately I didn't notice how much I had sprayed on the adjacent window.

Now I have cloudy/foggy windows (https://imgur.com/a/TKD9wim). I've tried cleaning them with:- - - -

• water via the hose directly on the window.. very little progress
• windex.. very little progress
• dish soap followed by host.. very little progress
• vinegar.. very little progress

Any ideas for what might get this stuff off easily?---

Hey folks,

Does anyone know of an app (FOSS or otherwise) that has a built-in REST-server to get current device info?

I'd like to be able to hit the API from within my local network to get info including:

• Free space vs used space
• Battery percentage

Why?

I have an old Android device that sits in the closet as a Syncthing node. It does some other random stuff too. I don't really want to have to get up and look at it to find out certain information. I already have a VNC server running on it. I even have a (sketchy) SSH server on it that I currently call df -h on to programmatically get free space info. The SSH server has some weirdness where it seems to stop working after some time, among other oddities. Also it can't get battery level afaict.

I imagine this is possible using ADB, but I don't really want to have to always leave the device in wireless ADB mode or manually put it in that mode each time; unless that is easier than I think.

Thanks!

An electrician 'fixed' an issue by making this hole in a basement cinder block wall.

.. how do I put that box back in or fix the wall or something?

Inside the box are two capped (hot) wires.

The pipe seems to be copper. Doesn't bend or anything. It can't (at least easily) be pushed back in.

I had wanted to use cement paste.. but like what do I do about the box? I guess I could paste everything except the metal pipe but geez: then i still have this sketchy box hanging out.

Any ideas?

Does anyone know of a way to archive all messages in Android/Google Messages maybe older than a certain timeframe?

I have 100s of old conversations spanning back several years. I finally decided it would be nice to archive (not delete) ones that aren't relevant at the moment. The only way I figured to do this is swipe each conversation one by one.

Is there a faster way to just do it all in one swoop?

Edit: I wrote a quick script to do it via manipulating the Google Messages webui: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/4646349 Worked for me!

Hey folks,

Anyone have the gcode to do bed leveling and then emit the info back for the octoprint bed level visualizer?

I have an Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus.

I tried the bilevel one on the GitHub page but it seems to make my printer get stuck at home after running.

Edit: it almost seems like when it finishes it just gets stuck in the center with the extruder heat still on. Usually I have to reboot the printer to get it up again. Sort of like it wants me to go check the z offset.

Say you have a script or something that gets run in cron/task scheduler and it needs a password.. say to ssh to a raspberry pi elsewhere in your house.

How do you save that password in a way that automation can access it?

Some ideas:

• Plaintext file. Not a fan because its sitting unencrypted on the box somewhere.
• Environment variable. Not a fan because its still unencrypted somewhere to someone on the box (albeit likely the same user or an admin).
• A secrets manager. If I use something locally like hashicorp vault or infisical, I can get to a point where a cli/api call gets the password. Though in this case I still need a vault password/secret to get my password. So I fall back to needing one of the above to get this to work.

If the secrets manager is easily available, the secret to get into the secrets manager is available as well leading to a feeling of security by obscurity.

If someone breaks into my system via SSH/etc. then they can get the passwords either way.

.. How do people normally do this? I'm not sure I actually get anything out of a secrets manager if its local and I have the disk itself encrypted before login.

What actually makes sense at a personal/home scale?

(Edit: I know using SSH key probably is better for getting to the raspberry pi, but still the question is the same idea).

.. its a website run by the US Government. Why does it have such large downtimes in this day and age?

You have a couple days left to buy stamps that can be used to mail letters after the price increase.

If you buy 10 forever stamps at 63 cents, you can use one for each letter in the future regardless of future price increases.

Stock up! Prices will likely never go down.

I bought a few hundred dollars worth to cover holiday cards for the rest of my life.

How do people not use spell check before making signage?

Since everything is about beans right now, I figured we should get in on it.
