I'm guessing they were being treated over the phone as the systems went down. I've been through a similar situation, the person on the phone will give step by step instructions while waiting for an ambulance to arrive.

Sounds like with the systems being down the call would have been cut off which sounds horrible.

I had to install one of these tools recently because of the notch on newer macbooks, they hide icons that overflow and you never notice it. For a while I thought my apps were erroring and not opening properly.

You have to manage it yourself with one of these tools otherwise they are lost to the void in my experience.

In the UK you can use something like this: https://www.deathnotificationservice.co.uk/

There are a few of these, one official one for notifying the government and a few private ones.

I imagine this services exists in other countries, if not then might an opportunity to create it.

Had the same experience with my dad passing recently, we had access to everything because we know the passwords he uses and he was ok with sharing those with us.

Will definitely look into the 1password emergency kit, thanks for mentioning it. 2fa is the other big challenge after that.

Cool, only ever seen HDR on a large screen and the brightness is not as striking as this.

Even that won't work because there are companies like Pushshift (I think it's pushshift anyway) that are constantly archiving comments, so they have the old comment and the overwritten one. I think you can request pushshift delete your data under GDPR so at least you can remove your data from there, but I believe they are not the only ones doing this.

Cloudflare is having issues and I noticed HN is going down for me (takes multiple reloads to work) so might not just be them.

Surprisingly my random scales off of Amazon do not do this. Accurate both times.

Is the whole idea of syncing passkeys a bad idea? Or at least a less secure idea. Someone explained to me that passkeys are hardware backed, each passkey is stored on device and tied to the hardware, so even if someone managed to get access to it, they would also need the hardware to get it to work. These software based keys that can be synced are less secure as a result. Then it just becomes like a password again.

I need to read up a bit more on passkeys in general tbh.

I feel like the initial learning of getting Home Assistant up and running is worth it over creating your own software. Especially in the long run. That and the other recommended way of setup that wasn't mentioned is to install the OS without messing with any containers. Pretty straight forward. Any problem you have there's probably a solution out there because the community is so large and that is worth it's weight in gold imo.

It used to be quite fragile but these days it's gotten a lot better. Still a lot of learning to do, someone with no experience in yaml or understanding under lying tech will struggle at first. They are pushing for UI setup for most things now so it's only a matter of time before it's far more accessible.

I just bookmarked the website to show others later and realized I just did it again. I will never go to that site again.

Is there any information on why this started happening in the last 2 days? Without any change to the firmware? Considering flashing asuswrt-merlin to avoid this in the future.
