I didn't like how dark my living room was due to the poor lighting (which had 3 of the brightest G9 bulbs I could find) and lack of sun light coming in, so I changed the light fixture to this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08CD94F7N

and also put in a #Zigbee dimmer switch (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CJ4HLV21)

I got the brightest bulbs I could find.

Now it's so bright 😂
My wife thinks it might be a little bit too bright. I don't agree, it's just right!

Besides, with the dimmer, you can just reduce the brightness.

@mhamzahkhan@intahnet.co.uk avatar

For #Zigbee remotes for light controls, do you use bindings, or #HomeAssistant automations to control the lights?

Seems like bindings is might be good idea because the remotes will still work if HomeAssistant/Zigbee2MQTT is down, but it seems you also lose some flexibility in terms of what action a button press takes?

I got to have a conversation today about CFS and cgroups2 with someone at work this morning, so that's fun. It's one of those "magical" things about the kernel that is interesting and also not a good thing to try to outsmart.

@mhamzahkhan@intahnet.co.uk avatar

@vwbusguy Do you have any suggested reading?

I have spent a little bit of time (albeit not nearly enough time) to try and do some reading into it, but I don't think I really fully understand it. 😅

Looking for recommendations for a Zigbee temperature sensor that is safe to put in a fridge?
I'm not sure if that even exists? Batteries aren't supposed to get that cold? #smarthome #homeautomaton #zigbee #homeassistant

@cnx what kind of batteries do your generic thermometers use? CR2032?

of Mastodon, could you recommend a game, that is not Minecraft, or Roblox that is multiplayer that I can play with my 4 year old and 6 year old?

Mainly looking for a game for my 4 year old. He likes Minecraft, but stupidly it triggers my motion sickness. I struggle to play for longer than 15 minutes. I have to really force myself to stick around for longer than that.

I also find it incredibly boring. 😓

Removed from all my devices. is doing a better job, and I'm super happy with it.

There are some missing features, but overall, it's managed to replace plex completely for me.

Tadhg Hickey explains the situation in Palestine as clearly as it gets. The simple truth with simple words.

Israelis are not the problem. But their government is.

By the way, I’m an Ashkenazi Jew; so don’t come at me with your anti-semitism rhetoric.

@markwyner that's Tadhg Hickey, not Lowkey. But regardless, it's a very good video.

I decided to quit caffeine altogether about 4 days ago, as I was drinking upwards of 500-1000mg a day.

Luckily the headaches aren't that bad, the holy hell.. the brain fog is serious.

The instant sleep improvements are so worth it, though.

mhamzahkhan,
@mhamzahkhan@intahnet.co.uk avatar

@jorijn My brain fog has finally started to clear. 😂

Sleep benefits are amazing. I wake up not feeling tired, and in need of a coffee.

mhamzahkhan,
@mhamzahkhan@intahnet.co.uk avatar

@jorijn Well my last coffee was 3 weeks ago.... and the brain fog only started feeling better a couple of days ago.... so maybe 2.5 weeks or so haha

I don't get it. I'm a true caffeine addict. I usually have multiple coffees in a day, or sometimes energy drinks.

I haven't had any caffeine since Monday. I was expecting the usual extreme headaches that come every time I do the caffeine reset.... but I haven't had any headaches at all.

Just extreme sleepiness. Not that I'm complaining. I don't want the headaches. But it's weird. Usually I would get a headache the same day if I missed my morning coffee.

mhamzahkhan,
@mhamzahkhan@intahnet.co.uk avatar

@jorijn coffee does taste too good. i'm craving it quite badly, haha. 😭

I try to do a caffeine reset regularly when I feel like I've become less sensitive to caffeine. Last week, I had two energy drinks in the same day but still felt sleepy. 🤣

But this time, it's mainly because the month of ramadan will be starting in two weeks, and I will be fasting. There isn't any suitable time to be drinking coffee/caffeine, so I try to cut it beforehand because it's easier to do while not fasting.

Cutting my caffeine intake to 0.
This isn't going to be a fun few days 😓

The paper shredder is my favorite office machine, followed by a label maker.

@mhamzahkhan@intahnet.co.uk avatar

@seungjin I love the diamond cutting shredders.

Yeaaaaars ago, in my first job when I was 19 year old help desk kid, my manager gave me a bunch of CDs to put through the shredder as my first task on the job. I don't know why he wanted me to shred them, they were just MS Office and Windows installation media. Not even with a license key or anything.

It was fun shredding them anyway.

There are quite a few features of that I really like, but man the UI is not one of them.

I'm not sure if it was just me but the CGI cut-scenes in : Crisis Core - Remake looked terrible and pixelated.

Nonetheless I've finished up the game and looking forward to playing another game!

@jimmyb did you play the original crisis core on the PSP? Is it much different from that?

Today hasn't started off too good.
Kids were being difficult getting ready for school. The bus was delayed. Traffic is super bad, so I'm sure kids will be late for school. Sigh.

Gonna be honest. I enjoy just watching the robot vacuum do it's thing.

It's the watching fish swim around a fish bowl kind of satisfaction.

Does anyone have experience running their Home Lab in a high humidity environment?

I want to move my home lab to my conservatory, but I'm worried because the humidity and temperature is quite variable. Humidity goes between 50%-80%, and lowest temperature I have seen so far has been 4°C. I'm a little worried about condensation.

@funkypenguin If I remember correctly, you had your homelab in your garage? That must have high humidity when it rains outside?

@fikran it's messy 😅.

of Mastodon, do you use any app for tracking your todo list and chores? If so, which one?

I'm looking for something that is easy for the kids to understand as well.

@ilyess Haha nope. I couldn't get wife on board with using it. It's a bit pointless if only one of us is using it, so I dropped it for now. :(
