And like most security measures, humans are the weak link. The scanning system did mark the barcode as already used/invalid, but the staff assumed it was a glitch and let them on.

Interesting. So it's not actually solid state. It uses piezo vibration to create airflow. It's still got moving parts. But it's much thinner than a traditional fan.

Really solid state active cooling would be something like a peltier element which are really inefficient and could cause condensation. I don't think they have been used in off the shelf PCs for those reasons though hobbyists have certainly made builds with them.


Piezo actuators are solid state devices, though the definition can get hazy. The biggest issue with heat pumps like TECs is that you’re always paying the entropy price so you need more energy to move energy. But you also need a thermal sink somewhere to remove the generated heat. Ends up being a vicious loop for electronics.


The actuator perhaps but the wiggling thing attached to it that moves the air? I don't think that's solid state? If it were you could even call a fan solid state.


On a macro scale it is solid state. Ultimately everything is vibrating when you look close enough.


The piezo is a single piece while a fan has at least two.


Even SSD's have electrons in them that really do move.

Gotta draw the line somewhere.


New features include:

* Syntax Coloring

* Debugger Integration

The app is now a paid subscription($14/month).

I own one, and it works just like an airtag and appears in the find my app. It doesn't have precision feature but everything else works(like using the apple/iphone network to find it)


Is a Apple device required to actually find the tag? Is there an Android app?


A self-aware click-bait title is still click-bait.


True. But before others pre-judge: I actually did learn quite a bit about Tailscale's architecture and robot vacuums from this article. It's interesting but lighthearted enough to give me a chuckle. I wish more company blogs used this style!


disclaimer: I threw the name suggestion out in the slack thread, though I'm sure I wasn't the only one to think of it.

The problem is when you have a thing that's overlapping the sets ( click-bait ( title ) fun ), what do you do? Er on the side of avoiding the click-bait or embrace the f̶u̶n̶ suck.


Maybe a title like “tailscale LITERALLY sucks” could still be fun while giving a small hint for people thinking this is clickbait?


And for the next project integrating tailscale to their automatic bin lid, Tailscale Literally garbage.


As someone currently running a Navidrome instance with 40k songs...yeah, I wouldn't wish that on anyone(horrible performance), but it is an option I suppose.


As someone also hosting thousands of songs who has been using Navidrome for months I can't say I experienced any performance issues. The codebase is fairly small so it should be fairly straight forward to investigate and narrow down the performance issues you're experiencing.


where do you notice performance suffering? hosting a 30k+ track navidrome library on a modest server and haven't noticed any slowdowns


In two places. The web client takes _minutes_ to load the artist page. It's slow enough that I get the Firefox warning stating that the page is slowing down Firefox. The web client (seemingly) doesn't load the song/tracklist in chunks and attempts to load every song at once(at least on the artist page).

The second issue isn't specifically a "Navidrome" problem, but every iOS and Mac desktop client I've used(and I've tried _every_ one that Navidrome lists on their site) attempts to load every song on load and basically becomes unusable.

I'm about two notches away from writing my own music streaming server. Navidrone is barely functional for me...and falls under software I hate, but there are no better options.


I have no such issues using Navidrome (docker image from linuserver.io) with 150k songs. On the client i use sonixd which also have no problem running. It might be something on your server


Have you tried Supersonic? https://github.com/dweymouth/supersonic


I run navidrome on raspberry pi 4 with 160000 songs and no slowdowns in web or symfonium


To be clear, ELI5 isn't a "meme" nor does it mean literally explain something to an actual 5 year old[1].

In reality, it means explain something in plan language without insider terms/definitions.

It is a meme in Dawkins' sense.


It still doesn't save state between reloads or prevent accidentally page refreshes and that makes me sad(still)


huh? Universal Paperclips has persisted states between reloads for a long time. I just went there and picked back up from my 6 months-ago game.


GDPR does not fix this situation. There are cut-outs in GDPR that allows companies to store data for longer. Financial/billing/taxes fall under that category.


GOAT isn't obscure or domain specific and is a very common acronym used online for almost anything competitive and doesn't need any more explanation.


My apologies. I'd never seen it, and since it was in the context of chess, I included that in my searches. There was lots of information about cheese, and lots of questions about who the GOAT was, but not what it meant.

Interestingly, my comment got a handful of upvotes before it was modded to oblivion, so apparently I wasn't alone in not knowing this very common acronym.

I'll try to be more American next time I'm on the Internet.


That is actually an amusing but interesting failure mode for search, linking "GOAT" to "goat" and "chess" to "cheese" is pretty natural, but totally misleading in this case. I wonder if there's a good solution (for google/ddg/etc users) for that beyond just putting everything in quotation marks, as that doesn't seem to help much anymore.


We could point it out and pester Google employees with how dumb it has become in every discussion where it is brought up.

I've been doing this for a while and it now seems I'm getting some support.

The last few years however I have given up Google and after using DDG for a few years I'm now testing out Kagi and I am happy to say that not only is the business model much better aligned with me as a user, but the results also seems to be significantly better than both Google and DDG now.


I hadn’t heard of the term before but since it was in all caps I searched for ‘GOAT acronym’ and the first match was on the money. Obviously searching for goat is going to find lots of stuff about goats.


Obviously it did in this case. I think the use of GOAT is common in the U.S. but not elsewhere, and HN draws an international community.


It’s common in esports, internationally.


It’s common in all sports internationally.


>GOAT isn't obscure or domain specific and is a very common acronym used online for almost anything competitive and doesn't need any more explanation.

I learned this only a month ago, I am wondering if this is a new thing? I am not from US so maybe this term is used a lot on TV/radio/speech but not used as much in writing(blogs,news not sure about social media/memes) so it could explain why I never known about this until recently.


I think it's been popularized by the NBA fandom and the incessant Lebron James vs Michael Jordan debates.


So I only had 1 contact with this and it was indeed about sport , something like "football player X is the GOAT" and I had to have this explained to me. so it might be a sports only term, since I am not watching or reading sports then it makes sense I do not see it used.
