json doesn't have ints, it has Numbers, which are ieee754 floats. if you want to precisely store the full range of a 64 bit int (anything larger than 2^53 -1) then string is indeed the correct type

Ikea smart devices are all zigbee so far, which is great since you can just plug it in to home assistant and it does respect your privacy.

Plugs like this are also a lot more useful than just saying total power consumption or whatever. I have a few similar for automating not smart devices. Things like a proper notification when my kettle or rice cooker is done, notification when humidifier is empty, etc. You get the functionality of a smart device but it's as cheap/robust as the original version, and privacy respecting/more secure since it can't be connected to the internet

Don't give in to greed. Throw your car battery into the ocean to feed the electric eels

the problem is there are a ton of varieties of tofu, and they're all generally around the same price. it seems the silken tofu have around 5g of protein, but some of the extra firm varieties have over 15g protein per 100 tofu, putting it in a much more respectable spot in the bottom middle with the grains and such

one is giving the permission to manage the system service to a specific user, the other is running the service as the current user so they have permission to manage it by default

generally mormons will be nice and accepting if they think they can convert you, but that's about as far as it goes

it felt to me like coffeescript solved problems that people had, then js got equivalent features. arguably that could happen to ts as well

it's ironic with all this that Google fi messages on Android still doesn't support rcs without losing a bunch of other features

this guy writes shitty code

try element x, on android it opens almost instantly. still in beta though

on that note, does anyone have recommendations for a neutral and controversy free instance but that also isn't so quick to defederate?

I understand instances like this wanting to defederate on principle and I'm sure it helps to curate a better experience for the people looking for that. Personally I'd rather make the choice myself to block communities I don't like and leave defederation on an instance level to just blocking illegal content and poor moderation and the like.
