• Unexpected Keyboard - also has a vertical cursor slide key.
• Thumb-Key - optional setting. Also works intuitively for text deletion on backspace. Text selection too but that’s buggy.

The rail+hooks make a decent quality curtain mechanism:

The top nylon hanger bars seemed to be good enough adapters to curtain hooks, as a “temporary” solution.

TL;DR: probably fine, but it depends.

Rules of thumb in the food industry in Australia:

• Danger zone is 5-60°C. (Temperatures are internal).
• 2hr/4hr rule: Potentially hazardous food can be served only if cumulative <4hrs in the danger zone; can be refrigerated only if cumulative <2hrs in danger zone.
• Food is considered cooked at ≥75°C, and this resets the clock for the 2hr/4hr rule. (Many exceptions apply permitting lower temperature processes for specific cases).
• To refrigerate cooked food – <2hrs @ 21-60°C + <4hrs @ 5-21°C. Typically refrigerate ≤5 days, some things like lighty cooked eggs <24hrs. (2hr/4hr rule above starts only when removed from this refrigeration).
• Some foods can be fridged for >5 days, and should be reheated to ≥90°C in this case.

So, the above is for food businesses so is very risk-averse and does have some safety margin built-in — if a customer buys a takeaway curry which has been on display at 50°C for 3h55m they aren’t expected to eat it in 5 mins!

If you contaminate cooked food with uncooked ingredients or unclean equipment then the rules are out the window. Same goes if it’s something like a stir-fry where some veggies were added at the end and not fully cooked.

I prefer browser(web)-based banking apps which work well on a phone UI without the info-access creep.

UBank (NAB subsidary) and Wise (not a bank) both support passkeys for login in the browser. Most other banks here seem to have regressed from hardware tokens to SMS codes or proprietary apps for their MFA.

Passkeys are only as secure as your passkeys – I use Bitwarden with master password re-prompt checked for bank credentials, but I should probably switch to a hardware based passkey (at least for unlocking Bitwarden itself).

The phone apps are sometimes required to do some things (like managing passkeys for UBank, verifying ID in Wise). They work on LineageOS without the google stuff, but might be worth installing only temporarily in a separate profile or phone.

…seems like things may have stagnated around group calling; for now probably need to consider something more video conferencing specific like jitsi or bigbluebutton.

Yeah, it’d be a live monitoring footprint limited to, say, wherever you have/bring a personal device plus maybe wherever there’s a wifi network it knows. But you’d be able to see where the tag was when it last pinged you, so you could return to that location to search for it and get a more accurate location fix.

The only case my example doesn’t cover is if a third party moves the tag away from your typical footprint and networks.

I don’t want an even higher level spyware device.

Hmm…

It might be time to move on from the mass-surveillance-on-every-single-device style of object location tracking.
Are there localising/tracking bluetooth tags available which only connect to your network/devices?

Just searched for “Sodium-ion BMS” on Aliexpress:

Asbestos kitties! Anyone cuddling these cats will be snuffling the asbestos fibres deep into their lungs; how much, depending on how weathered the AC sheeting is.

It seems strange that trade between China and Australia would be in USD.

There are packages in the normal repositories; no need to use AUR:

…although I do notice there’s no jellyfin-web package (which is avaiable in archlinux).

As a rule, using AUR has caveats. We’d also need to know which AUR packages you are using to give advice there.

It’s not a headline; I’m posing the question, written in this post title. (Perhaps I should have included the video link in the body rather than url field.)

A few years ago I was using “Call Recorder” which seemed good at the time, but right now hasn’t had any work done on it since 2023.

It was on f-droid, but the author threw a tantrum at f-droid about donations.
