Opposition Leader Peter Dutton said the victory was because people were “fed up” with increasing cost of living pressures.

I hardly think a safe Coalition seat remaining with the LNP is evidence of much of anything, Dutton.

Older demographic and few migrants = conservative. And:

Labor has never won a federal seat which is entirely Gold Coast-based, according to ABC election analyst Antony Green.

Hopefully it will be properly fixed, but Intel are still a fair bit behind AMD in their Vulkan driver support (OGL is pretty complete from what I recall) so these hacks are welcome until then.

Samba (and later NFS) on a crappy bulldozer-era AMD laptop combined with a set of USB drives as a ghetto NAS, so I could access data from any system without leaving my desktop on 24/7. It worked, but that thing overheated so easily that I had to undervolt and underclock it to get it to run reliably. I relatively recently switched to a affordable Terramaster NAS, and to using containers, and have been expanding pretty rapidly. The whole Reddit situation got me to start revaluating the services I was using. A kind of software/service spring cleaning if you will.

Long overdue, although the wording doesn’t seem to be at all certain:

Labor will review the nature and extent of mutual obligations and develop a revised approach that provides the help people need and is based on trust and shared accountabilities for government, service providers and job seekers.

“Shared accountabilities” sounds a lot like mutual obligations, so I hope the actual implementation does cut WFTD (and other pointless and punitive busy work).

Also, Dutton showing how in touch with the times he is:

In May the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, called for work for the dole to be reinstated, apparently unaware that the program still exists.

It’s as crazy how cheap those PCs are and how expensive Raspberries has become :-/

On the former, it’s because these are mostly models sold en masse after company upgrades. Often marked as “refurbished” although I suspect it’s just basic checks. Regarding the Pi, seems to be supply issues; they should at least start being sold at retail price again this year from what I hear, not that it’s necessarily worth it.

Could be people using VPNs to sign up with the lower prices as well, which may have risen due to the password crackdowns.

Yeah he talks about it in his book which is a fascinating read due to all the anecdotal stories he injects. Highly recommend!

Which book? He’s written a few going by his Wiki.

EDIT: I’m guessing you meant Ghost in the Wires.

If you want to make your smart home accessible from outside your home network I cannot recommend openHAB.

You can use a VPN instead for this. Which is a good idea in general, in my view, unless you need your resources to be publicly accessible.

Although I agree that even LAN services should ideally have some sort of credentials anyway.

1. I would need to setup a VPN server at my home network

I haven’t used it, but most people consider Tailscale to be easy to setup. But of course, what is hard or easy varies from person to person.

2. I would need to connect to my VPN everytime before trying to access my smart home devices

You can leave it on all the time and configure it to not route internet traffic through the VPN (if you don’t have the upload bandwidth at home).
