So many varieties, it would be like trying to list “stew”.

Frequently contains garlic, so go with no just to be safe. Our creature (in pfp) loves the smell and always thinks he’s getting some, bless.

Sorry, should have been clear. Lethal allergen tour = bad. Banning completely = also bad.

My main point was that there is a line between discomfort and danger. That line can move based on the situation, so it is awkward to abstract without getting down to specifics.

If say 5% of the population suddenly developed a tendency to go into anaphylactic shock on exposure to vanilla, then you could easily see it disappearing from fragrances altogether and becoming a non-problem in that regard. Yet it would still have culinary use and join many friends on the bolded ingredient lists on food.

There is a turnover point (that I cannot explicitly define) where the onus is on the afflicted to ensure their own safety, rather than the population at large going out of their way to ensure it.

I am fortunate to have no issues like this. In 5% Vanilla-Death-Land, the smell of the stuff would still give me pause, as I probably know someone who could well die from the idiot that just walked in the door honking of it.

If the same person instead just brought in a vanilla milkshake, I probably wouldn’t bat an eye.

Eating an allergen loaded sandwich to yourself - A-OK.

Coating yourself in allergens and going on tour - No.

Banning an allergen because a small fraction of the population suffer - Also No.

For matters of personal preference, I would invite the offended to suck it up and deal with it. For anything with consequences beyond offense, each individual situation is nuanced and common sense should apply. Maybe don’t eat that PB&J just before meeting a bunch of people for the first time.

Age regardless. Get them taught or take it for from them for their own good.

Yes, they’re glossing over the fact that the user must manually paste and execute code that the fake captcha puts on the clipboard.

Not a new attack vector in the slightest, just a play on the entry method.

Anyone doing this should have their computer taken away and head inspected/retrained.

Oh nee :((

It’s a Synology NAS so will work with the Synology DSM integration: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/synology_dsm

There’s definitely ways to poll the sensors of other devices though. I had some janky sensors set up before for monitoring a standard Linux box.

We’re doing fine here:

Aber Deutschland ist geschmolzen :(

I’ve got it covered :) - whole duplicate set of hardware & drive image. Recapped the board last year & replaced PSU too.

I won’t touch the DOS software it uses to actually run the plant, the lads can have at that.

Design/machine people are a wholly different breed of user…

CS1.6, beige boxes, CRTs and sweat. A different time.

I am yet to see load bearing cat in person. Plenty time yet though!

When you tug the unusually weighted cable and you hear metal scraping in the wall 10 metres away 😬

Hope it wasn’t too much of an arse to fish out. Or did you let sleeping switches lie? :)

What rack, haha.

Stuffed in a corner, under a load of other crap, in a warren of dust bunnies. Main rack is in an adjacent office.

This one must be about 15 at least. Pre-dates me and I’ve been there for 13. Still functional so I’m at loathe to just sling it. Not fond of doing drops in such wonderful weather, in a building that is basically a dusty hot tin can. Wanted to do it properly though.

Just happy that on this side it’s my direct employer and only one site. I’ll have to do some more digging - I’m certain we have kit around even more legacy than this. The CNC lathe PC is y2k compliant…

It’s going straight in the “if you’re looking in here, you must be desperate” spares cupboard.

It was fast enough up until today even!

Factory setting (says it all really).

A CAD PC and a standard client used by the QC guy.

Server 08 isn’t a distant memory here though 😬

Whatever way you go for setting up the systems themselves, I’ve found dwservice.net to be perfect for accessing systems with only a browser.

The host component is Mac, Windows and Linux compatible. The clients need only an account at DW. Hosts tied to your own account can be shared with others.

Depending on host OS, you get screen, terminal and fire transfer access. Sessions are logged if you need to review who’s accessed what.

Free. Donation optional.

I condensed down from a power hungry tower server to a couple of thinkstations and a nas. Much nicer on the power.

I ended up being lazy and just running it as a Homeassistant add-on, but end result is the same.
