Confusing title. I assumed that there was a man at the gym blow drying Benedict Cumberbatch’s balls while Benedict read a random letter to him.

6 hours before: “This is fine”

A lot of these answers are working towards the idea of having consistent grapheme (letter or letter combo) to sound (phoneme) relationships. ie the letter ‘a’ would always represent the same sound, and that sound would always be represented by the letter ‘a’. This is called ideal phonemic orthography.

English has whatever the opposite of phonemic orthography is; depending on your accent, the letter ‘a’ has about 7 sounds the most common being ‘o’ as in ‘what’. It’s extremely unhelpful when teaching kids to read English.

Languages seem to pick up a lot of cruft over time as they grow, absorb loanwords and just change because language, so you usually only move towards phonemic orthography with some deliberate act, usually by the government.

An example might be Indonesia really wanting a national language to tie a very diverse population together after the second world war. I think they still have a government department who makes pronouncements about the language. The result of this is you could learn to correctly pronounce Indonesian in about 10 minutes, and read an Indonesian newspaper to a native speaker and it would be almost entirely intelligible to them even though you didn’t know the meaning of what you were reading.

It’s not about the nail.

My bad - thanks for the correction!

Are you posting the most recent one into the middle, or squooshing them up to fit them inside the most recent one?

It got enshittified. I went to use it one day and it wouldn’t work without creating an account.

Same - As an Insomnia refugee, I thought “Oh no, not this again” and felt foolish for evangelising it.

Same with Wrapped. I can’t read any books between the Goodreads Wrapped and the new year because I won’t get social credit for them. And this is when I have actual time to read books. /s

“And light a big fire down there!”

I like data, I like tech, I like investing large amounts of time and energy to self-host things that muggles would not bother with.

I mean, yes, I could. But I’m committed to the #selfhosted life where I spend hours building unnecessarily complicated systems to make my life easier in small ways.

I’m starting to think my commitment to the Apple ecosystem and my desire for self-hosting are at odds.

The process for this is to obtain an EPS32 with bluetooth and wifi, pair it to the scale with bluetooth then keep it powered on in range of the scale, then the data goes into HA?

Thanks for this. I appreciate you sharing the summary and some photos instead of just a link to your (excellent) review.

It’s mind-bogglingly convenient, especially compared to the before times. Consider donating to them if you can.

No one’s mentioned Forgejo yet? Solid git and artifact repository.

There’s lots of ways to skin this particular cat. My current approach is low powered Synology (j series?) for mass storage, then 1 litre PC’s running proxmox for my compute power using their NVME for storage, all backed up to the Synology.

Two good points here OP. Type docker image ls to see all the images you currently have locally - you’ll possibly be surprised how many. All the ones tagged <none> are old versions.

If you’re already using github, it includes an package repository you could push retagged images to, or for more self-hosty, a local instance of Forgejo would be a good option.
