I've had a fitbit wifi bathroom scale for a while. Getting the data out got suddenly more difficult when Google bought them, and I didn't love giving that data to google. It's finally died, and I'm looking at replacement options.

In a perfect world, I could just go to a store and buy a "HomeAssistant Ready" scale. If I can't have that, I'd like a scale that is on my local network and exposes the last x weigh-ins as an API on the device, then I could write something to poll it.

I haven't seen anything like those, but have turned up:

• a project to decode the bluetooth transmissions of a number of scales (after you build an ESP32 device for it)
• the Withings cloud based scale, but with a well documented API

Any other good options?

Last June, fans of Comedy Central – the long-running channel behind beloved programmes such as The Daily Show and South Park – received an unwelcome surprise. Paramount Global, Comedy Central’s parent company, unceremoniously purged the vast repository of video content on the channel’s website, which dated back to the late 1990s.

Has anyone got some experience/advice for choosing between the options? It seems like they are:

• Minio
• Garage
• SeaweedFS

My usecase is just to have a local single instance for testing apps against. I prefer to spin stuff up in Docker on the homelab.

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be able to access the films and TV shows they had bought. *

I've been thinking about writing a script that would alert me if there was an updated version of an image I was running.

DockerHub shows an image digest on the page for that tag:

And I can extract the digest for an image I am running with:

docker inspect --format='{{index .RepoDigests 0}}' jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest

This matches the one from the DockerHub screenshot. But I can't see a CLI way to get the image digest from a registry. It seems like:

docker manifest inspect jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest

should do it, but it pulls out the digest of each of the architecture builds for that tag instead of the one shown in dockerhub.

Is there a way to compare the current local image with one in a registry from the command line? Or perhaps there's a more sensible way to do this?
