For years, I had been looking for an app that would allow me to perform basic queries and automate my HomeKit accessories from the terminal or using cron. For example, checking at 10 PM whether I forgot to close the garage door and sending me a notification if I did.
I’m old. Old enough to forget the name of the app I used before I even knew RSS existed (or maybe RSS didn’t exist yet?). Anyway, after some googling — actually, Google wasn’t helpful here; Yandex showed it as the second result — I finally remembered: it was the WatzNew app. To add a new website, you had to figure out how to parse its HTML manually. Then I switched to an RSS reader (probably Google Reader), and later to Twitter.
UniFi Network application (as of time of writing, latest version is 9.0.114) has two interfaces: New and Legacy. While Ubiquiti has kept improving the New interface, the Legacy interface has some features that are not available in the New interface. Two examples are:
In this article, we will go through the process of updating the FreeBSD operating system to version 14.1-RELEASE. You will need administrator privileges to perform the update, so we will use the doas utility.
I’ve been having this issue for years, but I finally figured it out today without Apple’s help. I tried to get support from Apple, but their support was not useful.
Once upon a time, DigitalOcean offered FreeBSD droplets. I had one for many years, and this morning I decided to upgrade from FreeBSD 12.3 to 12.4. The upgrade went well until the last reboot after running pkg-static upgrade -f to reinstall all installed packages.
My Late-2014 iMac 5K started to show its age, not on the compute side, but on the LCD side: screen ghosting, i.e. after leaving a light window on the screen it would remain visible after switching to a darker background. So when Apple released the new Mac mini with Apple Silicon I was happy for a while, but then decided not to order right away, because 16GB of memory would be a downgrade from my current 32GB setup. However, the screen issues forced me to pull the plug, and in early December I ordered a new Mac mini with an estimated delivery date sometime in January.
Нужно было мне синхронизировать время между двумя серверами и сделать это точнее, чем NTP. Погуглив немного, нашел, что какое-то время назад начали разрабатывать стандарт, который позволяет синхронизировать время до наносекунд. Подробнее о том, как он это делает, можно почитать на сайте IEEE 1588, а в данной статье расскажу, как я решил поставленную задачу.
