Try Ballistol, it’s so good!

Came to post this; Ballistol works brilliantly; and can also be used as a leather conditioner, wound dressing, & marinade for carne de cheval, with the addition of some juniper berries and a little rosemary.

The best all-rounder is Ballistol. Smells way less than 3-in-1 and performs great!

Does everything always need precedence?


I think you mean precedents but in any case the precedent is that often a new tech is heralded with “this time is different! Ignore the precedents” and yet so far that has been wrong every time.

One day the sun won’t rise in the morning but it’s not something I’m going to plan on happening in my lifetime.


Jep, sorry not an native english speaker.

It’s been wrong every time, except for the times it wasn’t. Nobody remembers those though. Something something confirmation bias.


Thank you. AI is different from tools we've seen before. There won't always be a precedent to refer to.


Well they would still be running the google models in Apple DCs. I doubt this is a very cost efficient deal for them.


If you can switch to an iPhone, you can switch to a phone capable of installing grapheneOS though…


Wouldn’t something like an Apple Watch be much more reliable for alerting emergency services in case of seizure, given that fall detection is an actually advertised feature of it?


Maybe but an Apple Watch can’t put me in the recovery position


You won’t miss much. The only thing I am missing is the mop after vacuum functionality, which was kinda borked and eventually removed in Valetudo for my specific model (Dreame L10s pro ultra heat)


Why not make an option to use third party JMAP providers (like selfhosted stalwart)? It would help push the JMAP client ecosystem - which could really use some help…


I think the plugin system is close, the author is just busy with other things before doing the final push to get it merged.



I keep trying Orion from time to time, but my experience is basically the opposite. Plugins rarely work, websites break and reported bugs just get ignored for years while the only activity in the forum posts are a bunch of +1. Basically at this point I don’t ever see myself switching to Orion.

I do pay for Kagi, which has been a wonderful service.
