Simultaneously, I couldn't care less. I do, though, feel this push for transparency in the GUI is counter-productive. Thankfully Apple is bringing "Tinted" as a Liquid Glass option to iOS 26.1.
There’s not enough demand for yoga instructors so you make money by coaching coaches. To do this you have to convince prospects there’s a big market for it (there’s not). “Winning” in the market is graduating to coaching coaches of coaches. It’s entirely sustained by extracting money from dreamers who are guaranteed to fail. The amount of actually useful service delivered by the entire field is shockingly small for the amount of money it absorbs.
To make money from "coaching," one must either sell through the Internet, thus potentially reaching thousands to millions of people, or sell expensive individual 1:1 lessons.
This bifurcation has been observed, for example, in jiu jitsu, where the most profitable business opportunities are selling "instructionals" via DVD/digital download to thousands of people for over $100 a piece, or selling 1:1 coaching sessions for over $300 an hour. Owning a gym/teaching 150-200 students (kids + adults classes) may give a decent salary, but certainly not wealth.
"successful" is a very optimistic way of looking at it. it has several downsides but largely works for my needs:
- read access is mostly available for sensors, even if access wasn't granted.
- some integrations (especially custom integrations) don't care about authorization. my fork mentioned in the blog does, because I explicitly added logic to authorize requests. the HomeAssistant authorization documentation is outdated and no longer works. I looked through the codebase to find extensions that implement it for an example. maybe I should submit a PR that fixes the doc...
- each entity needs to be explicitly allowed. this results in a massive JSON file.
- it needs a custom group added to the .storage/auth file. this is very much not officially supported. however, it has survived every update I have received so far (and I always update HomeAssistant)
I will share what I did in detail when I get some time on my hands
As a kid, I watched my father pull a single fuse from the family 4x4's fuse box whenever we left the vehicle unattented for any extended period. Does a practical, lower-tech deterent exist?
My buddy has an 89 Prelude that got stolen a couple of times. It basically got driven around and left with an empty tank around town both times and no signs of break in. I think the keys are relatively common for those so maybe the thief has one.
Anyways, I installed a switch up under his dash the disconnects the fuel pump +12v wire. It takes just a moment to flick the switch if you know where it is, and afterwards, the engine will crank and crank and crank and sort of sound like it wants to start at first, but never do anything. It would probably take several minutes to find it if you had to look for the switch, especially if it were at night and you were trying to steal the car. Seems like a good lower tech deterrent to me! The car has not been stolen since.

I have a buddy who had an old Ford in San Francisco. Once in a while he'd get in the car in the morning and notice that it felt .... strange. He couldn't put a finger on it. Then one day he had to get to work a little early and showed up at his car much earlier than normal. He found a guy sleeping in his drivers seat. Needless to say, both were startled and the homeless dude ran off, leaving a big bunch of keys behind in a keychain. Those were "master" keys to get into a whole slew of older vehicles.
I remember (in the late '70's or maybe early '80's) a friend's car where he added (it was not unusual at the time to add "accessories" to cars, like fog lights or rear lights ) a number (four or five) lever switches (connected in serie) that acted like a dip-switch, you had to set them in a given pattern (like up-down-up-up) to be able to start the car.
Yes. It may not be a part of most native speakers' ordinary verbal vocabulary, but it's for darn sure part of nearly every native speaker's reading vocabulary.

FWIW, my library is about 22000 items large. Hope this helps someone.
