That's why projects like this are great: https://github.com/Hypfer/esp8266-midea-dehumidifier
My Midea Cube dehumidifier can never be bricked and will never send data outside of my home. It talks to Home Assistant via MQTT and nothing else.

I'll mirror what others have said. Arch is the most stable distro I've ever used over the long term. Even with heavy AUR use, I've been rocking the same installation for over a decade on one of my computers.
I'm assuming that moving the power poles is also difficult due to property lines. I don't know the rules in Australia, but in the US you'd have to convince the property owners to grant an easement to allow someone to install a power pole and perform routine maintenance on it. The easement is attached to the property, meaning the next owner of the property would be subject to the easement whether they like it or not. This can have a bad effect on property values and (I think) can have more significant legal ramifications.
I doubt this... "roundabout" is the product of pure incompetence. To me, it speaks of a disconnect between the project's requirements and resources. There's still plenty of room for incompetence there, but if you give someone an impossible task, they'll generally do whatever it takes to tick the boxes in the "definition of done."
source: I'm an incompetent person who has ticked boxes and suffered for it.
EDIT: I should clarify that this is all based off of the assumption that the power poles don't have anywhere else they could move to without going on private land. Maybe that's a stupid assumption. Maybe you work with power poles frequently and I'm a gibbering fool. If that's the case, then I can only agree.
I use one of those daily and god they're all terrible. They're huge and they all break really easily. My phone is fucking huge, just give me a built in headphone jack!
God I love Taskmaster.
Absolutely fucking yes w.r.t. the characters being stupid in the show. In the books, the people from Preservation are incredibly competent.
TV SHOW AND BOOK SPOILERS
As an example, book Mensah would NOT have had a fucking panic attack dragging a sensor up a mountain alone because she would not have been foolish enough to put herself in that situation. Book Mensah does not take needless risks. She only does inadvisable things when her moral code requires her to do so.
Mensah and the other preservation folks are acting too much like the corporates. The books show you that living under a corporate boot makes you stunted and limited because that's a natural consequence of the profit-focused environment they create. Preservation cares about people, so the people from there are well rounded and don't do stupid things quite as often.
It's really hurting my enjoyment of the show. Why can't we have competence porn like we used to with shows like TNG and DS9?
God damn that cat is chill as hell.
EDIT: just like, really fucking chill as shit yo
I was in a crowd of ten thousand people screaming "FUCK MIKE LEE" and god damn did it feel good and god damn do I want that to happen again where he can hear it.
Here's the source code: https://codeberg.org/kramo/sly
It's licensed under the GPL! That's a huge plus for me.
Still, the drug’s average price of $466,200 a year is staggering even for rare-disease treatments.
What uh, the fuck‽
Hey!
Hey assholes!
What the fuck are you doing‽ This medicine is literally just a salt of an incredibly commonplace medicine that's been around for 50 fucking years. I get that you need to pay for your R&D costs and profit on top of that, but does that actually justify charging patients and insurance companies almost half a million dollars a year?
I fucking hate it. I'm glad that the people suffering from a horrific disease can have relief, but it makes me so fucking mad that they get a 466k yearly tax on their fucking lives.
At least the ACA's preexisting conditions thing hasn't been rolled back.

I mean, yeah. I wouldn't have found that project and gone to the effort of using it if a simple dehu was all I needed. I wanted something I could control with my local home assistant install, and you can't just hard power cycle a dehumidifier, it kills them.
