Best way to trigger automation with my return home?
I have a few old automations that are designed to unlock my front door, or open my garage door, depending on how I leave. If I ride my bike or car, it opens my garage, if I leave via front door, it opens the front door. Pretty simple. Except!!! I did this in pieces, so it's 2 separate automations. One detects my phone entering the "home zone", the other detects an event firing (iOS triggered the event via 'shortcuts')
There is now "zone based" automations, and there is also my "person entity". So the way I see it, I have 3 different ways to tell when I come home:
- My phone's gps enters the 'home zone'
- My HA 'person' state changes from 'away' to 'home'
- My phone's shortcut app fires an event that is detected.
I feel like #1 and #2 are the same, no? I only have one device linked to my person entity, and it's my phone. Is there any difference in this case? Is there a preferred choice?

Early Console Modchips - From Piracy to Freedom [10:56] | Modern Vintage Gamer
With the launch of optical media in game consoles such as the Sony PlayStation 1. The console could be hacked with a use of a simple modchip - an unauthorized hardware modification that was soldered directly onto the motherboard. This was done to circumvent security features. While the original goal was for piracy and backups, as modchips evolved, so did their use cases. Everything from Region Free, homebrew, emulators, makeshift development kits and more were soon possible. In today's video we look at the earliest modchips and how they shaped the video game landscape.

Any mac users out there who tried this browser? Linux alpha is coming this month so will try it myself then.
It sounds like they are building a new browser from the ground up.

I'm so confused with this random audio issue
Speakers -> Worked via Line OUT for months
Take PC apart and change PSU, assemble PC back.
Speakers - Line OUT detected but can't test Left/Right audio channels, options missing. No AUDIO from speakers unless I select them as default in Pavucontrol or manually assign outputs via Helvum.
Fedora 43 GNOME
How do I get my GNOME audio settings to work again?
This is so random and funny at the same time... yet frustrating because it makes no god damn sense :D
Help managing access to multiple VPN services (Tailscale, Wireguard, Twingate)
cross-posted from: discuss.online/post/34942012
I find everyone using different services, so unsure how to best manage (and balance) concurrent access in Ubuntu/Debian to:
- Local network services
- Tailscale services from userA
- Tailscale services from userB
- Wireguard (OpenVPN also option) from userC
- Twingate from userDEach user is wanting to share different services via VPN, and pressuring any to change their production setups to a different style of VPN is not going to happen.
- Management via software
- Possibly up a routing device along the lines of OpenWrt or OpnSense.
- Could even distribute such devices between these friends.Thanks for all thoughts!
I'm not sure what you'd like here. You didn't give much info.
Did you want someone to literally work out a full config for you in here? We don't know what you're even running.

Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft
Software engineers at Microsoft are now expected to use both Claude Code and GitHub Copilot and give feedback comparing the two, I’m told. Microsoft sells GitHub Copilot as its AI coding tool of choice to its customers, but if these broad internal pilot programs are successful, then it’s possible the company could even eventually sell Claude Code directly to its cloud customers.
Guys? Are we going to have to rename Microsoft products from Copilot to Claude soon?
Microsoft Claude 365?

Microsoft is increasingly adopting Claude Code, despite selling its own GitHub Copilot AI tool. Microsoft’s developers are now testing out both to compare them.Tom Warren (The Verge)
