I am personally now drawing a clear delineation between projects for my internal consumption (e.g. ansible scripts) and projects that have potential use for the general populace. For the prior, I now host a private Forgejo instance. For the latter, I'll put it on GitHub but mirror it to my Forgejo instance.

I was pleasantly shocked that Forgejo is literally a single binary with a relatively easy config. All my internal services reference my Forgejo instance so, if I need to bail on GitHub, it's low friction for me.

You can disable the new right click menu with one registry tweak: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/disable-show-more-options-cont...

It comes back, or at least it did for me. Holding shift when rightclicking will get you to the menu you want reliably tho. Vetter yet, if at all an option, swithc to linux or start putting pressure internal to drive a switch. There's nothing left in windows but network effects, but the loss in productivity due to a switch to linux is readily be offset by not being hobbled by W11 anymore. Invest 1 unit of time now to recoup 1 unit of time per month ad infinitum.

Yeah first thing I did. The new one lacks a lot of stuff I use a lot and basically makes all that two clicks. Tedious.

Which edition of Win 11? I've just disabled it in Win 10 and 11 via the GPO which may require some flavor of "Pro"

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and there definitely was an Egghead in my town.

Did you live in Chicago Ridge?

SmarterEveryDay has a whole series[1] on manufacturing that covers how the US is losing/lost the ability to create tooling. I believe the "Smarter Scrubber" episode[2] is the one that explicitly talks about how not only has the US lost manufacturing capacity but it also lost the ability to spin up manufacturing. The tool and die episode also touches on it[3].

Such a great series, highly recommend everyone here watch these.

It is, and it reveals the pitfalls of trade as a whole to boot. At first order they want to make everything local, second order at least not China. So they order from India and get a drop shipment of Chinese made goods. LOL!

I can't speak to any particular dam closure but there's a lot more to maintaining dams than one might believe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiUOBdEUqjY (Practical Engineering - All Dams Are Temporary)

Going this route then eliminates the free/included Google Assistant integration that comes along with using the bridge and app, correct? I really would like to ditch the hub but also want to use voice activation on a few lights.

As a point of clarification: all Pixel phones starting with the 6 were guaranteed 5 years of firmware support. Some phones only had 3 years of OS upgrades (vs 5 years of security patches). Now everything is getting 5 years of OS upgrades.

And like almost all things that are interesting, here's a Ton Scott video about the same topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxCha4Kez9c
