My Steam account is turning 20 today at 4:58pm (CET) and I cannot help but feel a bit old for the very first time. I still remember all my friends hating it so much in the beginning because it would slow our PCs down and cost us valuable FPS in Counter-Strike. It's amazing what Valve has achieved with Steam since then. Happy Birthday Steam!

Thank you for creating this. I was just looking for something like that to send notifications to my mobile without setting this all up and deploying my own app to the store. Using ntfy now :)
Cool project. Looks a little bit like the one i've been using as a basis: https://github.com/brennentsmith/internet-speed-logger I just combined it with a CosmosDB and put the dashboard online with the actual tester running locally of course.
The default way would be to install the package unattendedupgrade which will install security updates on your system every day.
Depending on how pihole is installed, this may not upgrade it. I personally have it installed with docker and uses watchtower for updates, but the risk with this mechanism is that it can break things.
I've set a cron job on the raspberry pi at my parents' house. It's a debian based system with only PiHole running so I just pihole -up and apt update && upgrade every month or so.
I tried that once but ran into so many errors for passwords that contained characters like ", or ;" that I gave up. Is there a way around this other then copying every entry manually?
Yes, the lastpass exporter has an issue. You can do a search and replace.
Or you can do what I did and when I reach a site that had an issue, I would just look at the password and there would be an obvious parsing error, e.g "&" is instead "amp&" and would just modify it manually.
I did the same switch like 5 years ago, and I remember having to `sed` (i.e. global find + replace) the LastPass output .csv to fix special characters before importing it into 1Password. Sadly I don't remember any more detail than that, but yes, there may be some manual massaging required. YMMV.
Awesome! I wanted to have something like this for ever and planned to build it myself using a combination of gmail and Flow or something. Now LastPass , 1Password etc. need to integrate it so every time you generate a new password you can add a random email to the mix.
Yes a few other users have mentioned integration with password managers. I agree that would be extremely convenient, but this would obviously be up to the password manager to integrate it using the API.
It loads but very slow. Most of them seem to be from the MIT IBM Watson AI Lab. I like that they used generated portraits of themself :D
Extract of "Why":
"AI Portraits Ars uses Artificial Intelligence to reproduce artistic human portraits, with different styles and levels of abstraction. For our model training, we adopt a data set of tens of thousands of paintings from the Early Renaissance to Contemporary Art. This type of portraiture is quite distinctive of the Western artistic tradition. Training our models on a data set with such strong bias leads us to reflect on the importance of AI fairness. In the previous work AI Portraits Celebrity, we explored the concept of micro-bias linked to the training data of only actors, which in some way imposes an actorization of the user's portrait: “a collection of faces from the society of spectacle that are sedimented in the neural network, and vaporize my selfie in a cinematographic self."
AI Portraits Ars introduces a very different type of bias with unique themes to explore."
Since you mentioned: "be on a conference call". There is nothing more annoying then a participant in a conference call (or any call) using AirPods especially when they are at a busy place. My experience is that you hear everything around them and most of the time they are hard to understand because of how the voice is picked up. I always ask them to switch back to the phone so i can understand. Not sure if the new version improves that or if it's just my experience.
Yep, I own AirPods and they are terrible when walking around town. Every person I talk to has commented on it. Which never happened with the regular wired ones.
I still enjoy them for music. But the battery life alone for calls is weak — I only get about 1 hour of talk time.
You don't want to walk around the town with earphones that isolate too much. My coworker was hit by a car as he was jogging while wearing IEMs. He couldn't hear the car horn and he was hit by a driver who couldn't stop his car in time. He didn't suffer any major injuries but he learned his lesson and now only jogs with open earphones.
I find that interesting. I often talk on my airpods while driving, and have done so in both of my cars. One has incredibly loud road noise (like I think there is a problem), and the other has no A/C and I live in the south--so, windows open.
In both cases I have received no complaints, and have even inquired about how the noise is recently. People can't hear my obnoxiously loud road noise at all, it gets canceled out.
This is definitely true, but it's a terrible idea to be on a conference call in a busy place anyway. It's incredibly obnoxious for everyone around one. My use case is just sitting in my relatively quiet office; without headphones the person in the next office over can hear everything, with any other headphones there are annoying wires and such.
Ambient noise cancellation is not the same thing. Most headphones do it passively by having a closed-back design. It blocks noise from reaching your ears, not the microphone.
Active noise cancellation is not the same thing either. See https://krisp.ai/ for what you really need, and this is not something best done at the physical device level.
Pretty sure they're referring to ambient noise cancellation using the microphones to make it so the background noise doesn't come through your microphone to the other participants while on a call.
Maybe there are some headphones with better ambient noice cancellation, but AirPods don't seem any worse than the wired headphones I've used until this point. I just stopped doing conference calls at Starbucks or I go outside where noise cancellation works a lot better.
When I got hired for my current job I did both interviews from the parking lot of a local Starbucks for exactly this reason.
