If the password database is just locally stored/accessed, then it’s still not as bad. Usually password compromising happens because an online service gets hacked or has a bug. That’s why it’s bad to use the same password multiple times. The biggest risk of having the personal machine targeted directly is via scams or other social engineering attacks. And if your dad fails those, then a strong master password wouldn’t make a difference.

The Hadean ended 4.031 billion years ago, so I would “earn” 1/4 Dollar (or whatever currency) per year?

Even with just waiting and not having to survive/eat during that time it would be a pretty bad deal…

Some words of caution:

• For anything internet related: Keep in mind that you likely are not getting any security updates anymore, even on a custom ROM.
• Also keep in mind that each accu you have in your home rises the risk of fire slightly. Obviously it always depends on the type and age of each accu.

Now some ideas

• Someone on Lemmy wrote about using a phone as Home Assistant box, but I don’t remember if it was usable enough (e.g. possible to access usb/sensors/etc)
• You might use them as sensors for Home Assistant, however the accu might not last that long, and/or having them connected to power might not be great for the accu
• Run a media center on it (e.g. Kodi) and cast it to your TV
• Connect some speakers and use them as Spotify boxes in different parts of the house (as it is specifically easy switching devices with Spotify. Maybe there is software for general WiFi speakers)
• Use one to create a smart mirror that displays current information like weather etc

Nice, I do something similar for my main phone, with the charger at my work place :)

You could improve the battery life by chaning the automation to charge when below 20% and stop charging at 80%. That way the battery is always between these percentages which apparently is best for it’s health.

Also deliberately using a slow charger for that setup is also a good idea.

Accumulator / Rechargeable battery

as opposed to “regular” one-use battery

In German we basically use Akku vs Batterie.
As an engineer, I like that distinction, but in English there is no such general clear distinction in every day language (is colloquial the right translation for this?) as far as I know.

That’s not how Assembly works, in fact that’s the opposite of how Assembly works…

Stories like these were why I loved the Alien-Site back then and what I’m missing there now. In Lemmy I found the right place 🤗

etc. should be well within the reach of anyone capable of reading this. Neanderthals could do it, so can you.

Oh you greatly overrate us internet people… 🧌

I’d imagine that nuclear reactors have multiple safety features, including automatic shutdown systems etc, to prevent catastrophic events even in the absence of human intervention.

Over time stuff would likely still break/leak, but it would only contaminate the immediate surroundings compared to the big bang that would occur when failing fatally during operation.

I don’t know, chances are high that I’d still move away from those places…
