Babe, wake up. Polls are open. Go and vote.
  • I do love how Rishi “Green Card” Sunak scheduled the election for American Independence Day. What are the odds that he uses his new* independence to move to California before the month’s out?

  • New Dad, Current Problems.
  • 9 months here. It gets better. IT GETS BETTER.

    The first couple of months are hell. Make sure you and your girlfriend both get breaks when you can, and prioritise sleep. Celebrate the little things, because the only big things this month will be bags under eyes and bags of nappies. Call on family for support if you can. Invite friends over to meet the baby.

    When she starts sleeping for longer periods your life will start to come back. You’re daddy forever now, though!

    Hang in there buddy. You’re going through the worst part of it all, but this too will pass. You have the strength to power through. You got this.

  • Russia threatens to target US spy satellites made by SpaceX
  • I mean, satellite orbits are public knowledge, so….. no? You can just Google that stuff, and so can Russia, e.g. https://satellitemap.space/ Arguably the new Starshield cluster may be launched into secretive orbits but those tend to get found out pretty quickly and easily, if not downright published for collision avoidance purposes.

  • Local-only no-cloud HomeKit brands

    Hiya,

    I’m wondering if anybody knows of any other brands like Eve that sell local-network-only no-cloud HomeKit products.

    To make that word salad a bit clearer, I’m looking for devices that:

    • work with HomeKit, either directly or over Thread or Matter.
    • don’t have any mandatory cloud services from the vendor.
    • don’t have any optional cloud services from the vendor.
    • don’t phone home to their vendor.
    • is supported as running in a VLAN with no WAN access, or can be trusted in a secure VLAN with WAN access as it won’t abuse that trust.

    I’d be very interested to hear your experiences and recommendations around the above. I recognise that some devices can be run in a secured VLAN in a non-vendor recommended manner and am interested to hear about them, but the main focus of this thread is to determine if there are and brands besides Eve that explicitly manufacture “local-only” HomeKit devices.
