erinnh··on Tesla sales dropped 60% in Germany
I doubt there's any kind of intent there.

But, honestly, if that is the end result; Trump supporters buying more electric cars, Id call that a win.

erinnh··on How I Use Home Assistant in 2025
You can install wireguard or tailscale from the addon store.
erinnh··on Xiaomi has provided official support for Home Assistant
Dont those already work via Bluetooth?

My Air Monitor Lite at least do.

erinnh··on How Japanese black companies oppress workers (2014)
It is possible to be sued for damages in Germany if you quit and don't come back to work during your notice period.

Its not very likely and hard to prove damages by the employer, but possible.

Nothing really stopping you from simply half-assing your job during your notice period, though.

erinnh··on Kagi Translate
I absolutely did not mean to imply that you did not want to improve the products.

I did assume that you are missing the resources for the many products you develop.

Its just very sad to show/recommend Kagi to people and then have them(or me) run into so many bugs, and sometimes product-breaking bugs. (such as Maps that I mentioned. because I would love to use Kagi maps, but its so broken that I just cant)

Would love to travel 10 years into the future of Kagi's roadmap.

erinnh··on Kagi Translate
Kagi develops lots of features, but they seem to often be quarter-baked.

Maps for example is basically unusable and has been for a while. (at least in Germany)

Trying to search for an address often leads Kagi maps to go to a different random address.

Still love the search, but Id love for Kagi to concentrate on one thing at a time.

erinnh··on Official Raspberry Pi NVMe SSD Review
Most hardware projects I tend to look at dont need the power of a Pi5 and are fine with a 2040 or zero.

The niche of the Pi5 just has gotten so much smaller, imo.

erinnh··on Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton [pdf]
Im not a scientist and do not know how these things work out, but wouldn't it be possible for scientist to simply publish their papers online without peer review if that is what they want?

What's stopping them from doing so?

erinnh··on So thieves broke into your storage unit again
Id say your friend being put behind bars would do the trick.
erinnh··on Air Con: $1697 for an on/off switch
There is OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol). There's quite a bit of choice in supported wallboxes. Here is Europe at least.
erinnh··on How to use the Bitwarden forwarded email alias generator
I can do a lot myself. Or pay somebody less than a meal costs to do it for me and not have to worry about my emails.
erinnh··on How to use the Bitwarden forwarded email alias generator
I’ve been doing this with SimpleLogin for years. I’d expect anonaddy to be able to do the same.
erinnh··on Encryption at Rest: Whose Threat Model Is It Anyway?
I can think of two reasons:

- Physically moving servers outside of the cages they are supposed to be in. (inside/outside DC) - Easier to dispose of disks (repair/EOL)

erinnh··on AMD Unveils Ryzen 9000 CPUs for Desktop, Zen 5
geizhals.de

Very good website to compare gadgets/electronics and look for good prices.

Its for the German market though (and some small amount of Austrian shops)

erinnh··on AMD Unveils Ryzen 9000 CPUs for Desktop, Zen 5
I just had a look and the comparison website I use says there are 113 motherboards that support 128GB or more memory for AM5. (in my local market. so the US probably has even more)

128GB isn't exactly a lot, so that would surprise me if it wasnt supported.

erinnh··on Signal: Will leave the EU market rather than undermine our privacy guarantees
There’s three servers I know and like 10 clients.

Not sure when you last looked at the landscape.

Servers: Synapse, dendrite, conduit

Clients: (just off the top of my head)

Element, fluffychat, cinny, neochat, cyphon, nheko, schildichat

erinnh··on Leaving Substack
I think hes talking about this podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/can-substack-ceo-chris...
erinnh··on Firefox Proton UI userChrome.css fixes. (2021)
Here is the change (as reflected in the sidebery wiki):

https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery/wiki/Firefox-Styles-Snipp...

It was Firefox version 113 that changed it.

erinnh··on Firefox Proton UI userChrome.css fixes. (2021)
I remember it breaking exactly once. Last year they changed the syntax. But before that it was running fine for 3 or so.
erinnh··on European court rules human rights violated by climate inaction
In Germany this has already been litigated. The government lost that case as well back in 2021: https://www.bundesverfassungsgericht.de/SharedDocs/Pressemit...
erinnh··on European court rules human rights violated by climate inaction
Not sure what the point of this argument is.

Are you saying that human rights cannot be violated if a democratic decision was made beforehand?

erinnh··on Asus refunds Zenfone buyer for failing to provide bootloader unlock tools
This is definitely not the case everywhere.

Where I live the app is 100% needed because it’s the „second factor“ in the login process.

erinnh··on A first look at Europe's alternative iPhone app stores
It kind of does, since the gatekeeper status is bound to how many users a platform has.

I’d also like to mention that EU anti-trust law talks about „dominant position“ and not about monopolies. And any Company with more than 40% market share are in a dominant position.

erinnh··on OpenAI board reappoints Altman and adds three other directors
I read it here on Hacker News. I dont have any links of it at hand, there were way too many threads about the drama for me to go looking for it now.

Cant answer your last question. As said, that was just the story that I heard here on HN.

erinnh··on OpenAI board reappoints Altman and adds three other directors
The story was that Altman lied to specific board members to have other removed.
erinnh··on Sony Interactive Entertainment lays off 900 people
They announced that it is reaching „the latter stage“ of its life. Not that it has reached EOL.
erinnh··on End of General Avalailability of the Free VSphere Hypervisor (ESXi 7.x and 8.x)
Does hyper-v support usb passthrough by now?

I looked into it two years ago or so and it just wasn’t possible, which is a dealbreaker in a homelab imo.

erinnh··on Mozilla Monitor Plus: automatically remove your personal info from data brokers
Ive been using Simplelogin for a few years, and its totally fine.

Id just like it if Firefox Relay had these features.

erinnh··on Mozilla Monitor Plus: automatically remove your personal info from data brokers
Sure. But I just have multiple domains for things like that. And you could always have the option to use a Firefox Relay domain as well.

Thats how it is with Simplelogin (which is a similar service).

erinnh··on Mozilla Monitor Plus: automatically remove your personal info from data brokers
It’s an ok way to do it. And I’ve been subscribed (but not using it) for 2 years.

But until Firefox Relay supports custom domains, I am of the opinion that it’s not ideal.
