US affidavit: the man charged with attacking Sam Altman's home had a document that "identified views opposed" to AI and listed addresses of other AI executives (New York Times)

An old SSD, an 80mm fan I had lying around, a Raspberry Pi 4, and a 3D-printed case make up the new (and likely temporary) home for Home Assistant.
For now, I have modest plans for this setup, but once I get the hang of it, I might need to upgrade the hardware if I run out of resources to add new self-hosted home automation devices.

If you have no money to get a lawyer, you may stay in U.S. jail for half a year if some facial recognition software thinks you look similar to a fraudster.
And then even have to organize your 2000km return to your home yourself. A home you no longer have, because you couldn't pay your bills from jail. And not a single excuse.

Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeAssistant
There is a @homeassistant@fedigroups.socialbot that replaces the old gup.pe home assistant bot.
Mention it in your home asssitant posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the #homeassistant posts it boosts that may not normally get federated to your instance.
There’s also @… - follow that and it will automatically boost everything you post with #homeassistant without you having to remember to mention the bot.
For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.
In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.
Hashtags are great for finding messages, but only messages that were federated to your server. They don’t help message propagation, but these bots will.
Rinse out that bathtub!
[may ask for registration, you can ignore it.]

About friggin time.
I report people exposing their home address unintentionally on the web about once a month so they can censor it. It's such an easy way to expose yourself.
That was different for the work commute.
First time in months buses arrived and on time! bus departed near the home stop @06:20. arrived at work @06:40. Ten minute walk to where I work, so 06:50. For months it was 07:15 to 07:30.
I am hoping that the commute home will go well. normally I leave around 15:00 and lucky to get home by 16:25. If they are on time and no cancellation it should be around 15:40.

I'm trying out a new mosquito-control contraption made by Ortho. It features a landing pad laced with powderized, lethal fungus spores (Beauveria bassiana) that can be transferred via tarsi to standing water elsewhere in the yard or in your neighbors' yards. The water in the container also has an insecticide (pyriproxyfen) to kill any larvae that might develop from eggs left by females. It's the home version of the expensive In2Care trap that can only be purchased by licensed pest-control folks. #mosquitoes #ortho #in2care
