Technically, he didn't say "no".

Segmentation fault?

Some people posted video of "unknown light in the sky" a few times, which happens regularly, but somehow it caught enough attention that everyone started looking at the sky.

It turns out that many people do not recognize a plane, or Venus, or a SpaceX launch, or a Chinese lantern, or whatever because now they've been led to expect to see something mysterious.

Debunker Mick West posted on YouTube showing how one famous video actually showed lights on a hillside, by lining up the image with Google Street view.

A few sightings do seem unusual, but many are just flashing lights moving over cities that happen to have busy airports.

Before even getting to documentation, I see so many projects that don't have a short summary of what they do (and maybe what to not expect them to do).

As an example, Home Assistant. I can tell that it involves home automation, so can I replace Google Home with it? It seems like it doesn't do voice recognition without add-ons and it can work with Google Assistant. Do I still need accounts with the providers of smart appliances, or can it control my bulbs directly?

None of that is very clear from the website.

I've seen plenty of other projects where it's assumed there's no need to explain it's overall purpose.

I was going to comment that it seems strange to me, then I remembered that I had to sing hymns and say prayers at school, back in the 70s.

I think we had one child who was allowed to skip the religious stuff back then, but the population is more diverse now (and atheism is growing), so I wonder how things have changed.

My first example was "a cup of frozen chicken strips".

I know I can make a guess how much they mean, but I could easily be off by a factor of 2.

It really wouldn't be hard to have the weight listed.

Best phone sync (self.selfhosted)

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to try sticking with syncthing and try the fork of the UI and see if that keeps everything working.

I want to sync files between my linux PC and Android phones (mostly for Obsidian notes).

Can anyone recommend a good real-time sync?

I've been trying syncthing, but despite turning off battery optimization for the app, it rarely sees the phone as connected. I don't want to have to remember to check syncthing every time I edit a note.

I use resilio for syncing between PCs but it looks like it has a high battery usage on the phone, as if it is frequently polling for changes.

I use FolderSync for occasional scheduled syncs (e.g. updating my MP3s from the server to my phone), but a scheduled sync either is frequent enough to affect battery or it risks sync conflicts.

Cloud services such as OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive don't show up as big battery drains, so I assume that they use change notifications from the OS instead.

Are there any real-time 2-way sync apps for phone that don't have big battery drain and are not for cloud providers?

 

I grew up knowing a fishcake as being fish sandwiched between two slices of potato covered in batter.

But when I ventured out into the wider world beyond Sheffield, fishcakes were strange breaded minced-up fish things.

Was my whole childhood a lie?
