May I ask how is your experience with authentik?

I use it, I love it! My go to recommendation now!

It’s great. We use it for all of our apps.

Side question: what TV is best for integration into home assistant from experienced HA users...

I think Samsung TVs can be interacted with through HA's SmartThings integration but I don't use that at all. Instead I have my Harmony Hubs (yes, a dying breed, literally) connected and that's the only way I interact with my TVs via HA.

"Alexa, turn on Living Room TV" -> HA -> Harmony -> IR Blaster

I think through the Apple TV integration I can control them even further but I greatly prefer just using the Harmony remote. I'm not looking forward to the day when those stop working completely and I have to evaluate other options. Every year or so I look around but nothing beats my old Harmony remote (with a coin battery that lasts so long I've lost track, easily over a year) and the Harmony Hub (which actually sends out the signals).

LG TVs have well known WebSocket and serial-port APIs. I haven't tried it with HA, but I'm using alga CLI (https://github.com/Tenzer/alga) to automate my TV (which I'm using as a dumb monitor).

Syrian here, born, raised, and finished my studies in Syrian.

Been to many countries like UAE, Saudi, and finally Germany.

I can tell that the joy is immense. Most druze and alawite are not too happy and fearing, mainly because of the feare built into them throughtout the war years.

Incertanitiy is very big, but the joy of seeing a north-korean-like system collapse in few days is unimaginable.

I have seen too many nk documentaries, I can say that it applies 100% to Syria, with many many more complexities in the region.

Happy to give proof to mods.

Do you mind to add short explination for each param here ( I know only few). Thanks!

Sure!

– hl=en → force language of results to be in English, otherwise Google regularly prioritizes other languages.

– gl=us → force location to the US.

– nfpr=1 → stop autocorrecting “““typos”””. Google doesn't always respect quotation marks unfortunately.

– verbatim=1 → search as is, it complements nfpr=1.

– pws=0 → disable personalization.

– filter=0 → stop “filter[ing] out some of the results for a given search” in order to “enhance the user experience”[1][2].

– tbs=li:1 → stop including other forms. e.g. without it searching for “test” also returns results that contain “testing”.

– udm=14 → disable AI-augmented features.

– q=%s → the query itself!

He makes amazing videos by placing the cameras in all wierd angels and adds so much stuff to explain a concept, that makes you think it's simple, yet you finish his videos admiring him even more...

The first video I saw was the tape measure trick shot debunk. I immediately subbed when I noticed he was inserting himself *into the footage he was debunking* to prove his point. I don't follow another YouTuber that has such dedication to their craft, though I'm sure they exist.

Reddit killed 3rd party apps almost entierly.

How please?

I am waiting for uBO to stop working to mkve over Google Chrome.

But sugar is still considered unhealthy to give to children on a regular basis. Given how much the water is mudded by a lot of talks, and that parents are always confused what treat to give/promise to their children...

> Given how much the water is mudded by a lot of talks, and that parents are always confused what treat to give/promise to their children...

No, don't trail off, what's the end of that sentence? "...we should lie to them and support this misconception so they'll do an unrelated thing we think is healthy"?

Do you mind sharing your uBO lines please?

Try this: (sorry, HN's suggestion to post code after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces doesn't work)

The technique is to add a blank line AND start every "code line" with FOUR spaces

    Like so
        indented
    Back to origin
        Every line with four intial space AND any indent space

Thanks! I've fixed my post. I wonder why HN doesn't list this in their FAQ. I looked here: https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc

But unlike stock buying, shorting can cause huge damage more the the starting value.

If you short a stock at 100, and it reaches 10, you pay back at 10 and get to keep the remaining 90.

If, however, that stock reaches 300, you have to pay the extra 200 from your pocket.

So shorting is much bigger risk than investing directly in stocks.

That's if you actually borrow the stock & sell it, the old-fashioned way.

There are less risky ways, like buying a put option.
