Technically, yes, but I’m a bit lazy. If I can overengineer a workaround…

Yes my cylinder isn’t compatible, it won’t allow inserting a key from the other side. But I saw they sell a replacement one for 100 euro

Not being internet connected isn’t the end of the world, but that hidden expensive in-app purchase is really scammy because you would only notice that after you bought the device, after installation and probably even after the return window. All YouTube reviewers got the pro model, which doesn’t have this artificial limitation. If I didn’t watch that video, I would noticed that after years (I don’t have enough matter/thread devices to justify the purchase of a hub yet)

And also the door opening sensor isn’t included in the box but of course YouTube reviewers are showing it as part of the kit because they got all included. And the product page doesn’t specify that explicitly.

Searched the user manual in PDF to learn more about the product, it’s 4 sentences that explain absolutely nothing

So in the end I wanted the base model over the pro because for me having 4 AAs instead of a “proprietary” battery pack (4 AAs in a custom plastic shell) is much better and giving direct full internet access to the door lock via WiFi is too scary… but between the missing opening sensor, the IAP, the build quality, I think I will choose another one

Nice this looks compatibile, except for the open sensor, my door has an ultra thick frame and it’s only possible to install it at 12 cm, while the guide says 4 cm max. Does it really need it?

Thanks for the link, in that thread I found two promising products, Nuki and tedee.

One is small and stylish but uses a tiny expensive single use battery, the other is plasticly and bulky but uses 4 standard AAs

I’ll check specs carefully to see if they have enough torque

Edit: the 190 euro Nuki lock is advertised as “matter/thread compatible” but you need to pay a 50 euro in-app purchase in order to enable it. This is not stated anywhere, including the user manual, website and support faq. I discovered that from a YouTube review

There are so many burglars here that this kind of door is the standard in any apartment

When you close it, it’s not possible* to open it again from outside

* = only the triangular piece engages, so a professional can unlock it from outside by using a thin sheet of steel

I thought I had keys in my pocket, instead it was a different bunch. The keys were inserted in the socket from the inside, it doesn’t allow to insert the key from the other side, so I couldn’t use the backup pair that I keep in a separate location

Ah maybe I was missing the ./ , it said garage not found on path (on mobile, can’t try)

I set garage via docker and it was not impossibly hard.

Main problem is that there isn’t an admin panel and you can’t login to the docker container via docker exec, so you have to write some python (or other language of your choice) to send requests to the API port to:

1. Set the layout of your server
2. Create an user
3. Create a bucket
4. Assign that bucket to your user

It makes sense

In the serie A let me see what they can do with that money… Uhm the Juventus can’t even pay for Dusan Vlahovic (he gets €12 million - net per season)

What if the apps are installed via adb using

pm install -i "com.android.vending" /sdcard/yourapp.apk

?

For the system then the app has been installed from the play store

Or it checks online to see if the current user has a (free?) license?

Private conversations I mean

Yes as the API is checking from where it has been installed. If the installer isn’t the play store app, then the same APK installed manually, would give an error.

It is going to be an incredible hassle to install geofenced apps

With paid certificates you can target ancient and unsupported operating systems like windows XP and android 2, letsencrypt is relatively recent and it’s not present in the root certificates of those systems

What’s fun is that a season ticket to watch home matches at the stadium costs around half of what you would pay to stream them

In Italy, the cost of subscription for streaming serie A soccer is 5% of the average net wage. And then you need to add the cost of broadband as it’s only streamed, no TV broadcast.

A low wage worker would need to literally skip meals in order to watch those overpaid clowns kick a ball.

Buy less Lamborghinis, reduce the price, have enough servers to allow for a service that doesn’t crash and stutter for the first half of the match, then maybe more people would stop paying the illegal IPTV services that are charging 1/10th of the legit service

As of now, illegal IPTV services are giving a better service (no stuttering for half match), a better experience (a m3u can work with older smart TVs without Android) for 90% less money. And sometimes even better support

Many people also pay for a VPN+a subscription to paramount plus USA and they can watch serie a from Italy at 50% off.

What about freetube? Newer desktop update has giant smartphone-like buttons that are perfect for TV usage

For example, now the play button on my 27" is a circle with diameter 25 cm

Side question: how easy is to make an “honeypot” matrix server that can read and log all the chats in a nice report for LEOs?

Technically, if it wasn’t for the unofficial server component, you had to pay for a subscription even if you self host

I Lost tons of data thanks to windows fast boot flushing back the old fat after rebooting to windows. Never anymore. Linux can write to NTFS , it’s much more reliable. Plus the default block size for exfat (when formatted from Windows) is huge
