It is a good idea to only buy "smart" hardware that is known to function without the cloud with Home Assitant or some other open software. Beware though: "Home Assistant-compatible" sometimes means that there's an HA plugin that is able to talk to a cloud API, which is not very useful in cases like this. I am pretty sure this will soon become public knowledge that closed systems aren't worth buying and behaviors like this will backfire badly. I hope so.

This page mentions that Moonray does support SSS.

I really like the Ello concept where you are required to tag your content. which allows for filters at CONSUMER'S discretion.

On a more general leve, I can't underestand the relationship between (many) americans and nudity.

Where I live, if someone walks down a beach wearing ONLY a gun holster , people will discuss the gun, not the tits or penis :)

I've read several American people describing their trip to a no-swimsuit-allowed european sauna as if they had been to Mars and back !!

I can understand it on a personal level, but some oil in the moral compass can't hurt.

Relax :) (and apologies for grammar and spelling mistakes)

I think that lower-level calls may be necessary to ensure a seamless performance. I don't know for Linux (where file locking rules are different), but as a Windows Dropbox user, I find it *very* nice that I can work on big Photoshop files, save them often and *never* have Dropbox get in the way by locking the file (and, furthermore, Dropbox only uploads or downloads chunks of the file that have changed) Google Drive, on the other hand, is a PITA when it comes to this: I was using it before and saving files often resulted in Photoshop complaining... a lot! (Google Drive is OK for backups or very small files, though) It might be that the naive approach of using posix-level calls is not really enough Just my $0.02

I am french speaking, and I read a lot of novels written in english to improve my grammar and vocabulary. My kindle is great for that, because of the built-in dictionary that lets me quickly lookup the definition of an unknown word. Before that, I read eBooks on my computer but the couch is much better.

I just had a chest CT scan this morning...
