I have a friend who isn’t into metal. All his friends are into metal though, but he isn’t. So when we all talk about metal, he always brings up that one band he knows.
I have a boss at work. Not a Boss-boss, he’s a team leader, but he’s my boss.
Anyway he got 3 strikes for being a metal-head the other day:
Wallet chain - who the fuck still has a wallet chain? A metal head
Up close he has a hole in his lip - fucking lip piercing? Metalhead
So he asked me if I wanted to do any overtime on the weekend and I said casually “Nah, I’m going to see Tenacious D on Saturday” and got the reply “Yeah fuck that, I wouldn’t be working overtime if I was doing that!”
I read comments! I watch a lot of videos about self hosting services and the comments is where you find other people who have followed the video and struggled at some point. If you’re lucky it’s a common sticking point you’re stuck on and someone in the comments has a way of fixing it.
I love self-hosting a bunch of apps I use, so I don’t have to rely on anyone but my ISP for my digital life. Jellyfin, Immich, forgejo, memos and more....
This actually sounds like what they’re doing at Home Assistant.
Buy a HA Yellow or whatever, plug it in to your network and turn it on. It loads up and you log in on a web page on your phone. Install an app, sign up for Nabu Casa and get your services working outside the network.
And it’ll pick up a lot of what’s already on your network and set it all up for ya.
I woke up this morning at 6 am with IBS cramps. I tried to go back to bed but I’d woken fully up so by half 7 I was sat at my PC with a brew for some uninterrupted tinkering....
I only figured it out after fine tuning for hours to try and stop it. But the fine tuning I did while I was getting interference has actually made espresence better.
It was bouncing around stations a lot, but by turning the absorbsion up on the station in my front room it’s sorted all that out and now it’s accurate.
I believe the other comment is correct, there’s 2 ways of adding Bluetooth presence, one is espresence which I’m using and the other is a less feature filled version in esphome.
I have done a lot of moving my esp boards around though to improve it. They seem to work better when they’re in different locations.
So for example I had one at the top of my stairs but I’ve moved it across the room, further away from the one on the floor below which was at the bottom of the same stairs. I also moved that one into a room and higher up because it was interfering with the one on the floor below that.
And that one I moved to the other side of the room, and the one on my ground floor has been dropped to floor level instead of sitting at waist height.
Point being, if you’re putting it onto already placed sensors, ymmv
Mate I think you would like the badge I have on my leather jacket which has the union flag with the caption “FUCK ME LIKE THE GOVERNMENT” across it.
Now I wonder how many grandparents out there are looking at their grandkids and thinking “these little fuckers need a bit of WAR” because that’s the only people that want this.
Fuck this jug-eared midget, I hope he gets cancer.
I’m solidly leaning towards a Schlage Connect Lock due to its local only Zwave capabilities (which has the benefit of also extending battery life). I was strongly considering the Aqara U100 for its many features, but based on what I’ve seen I can foresee it being a nightmare to get working locally with home assistant and the...
The point I think is that while most locks are really easy to pick relatively, the people that it’s really easy to pick to, aren’t the same people robbing your house.
The ones that sit and practice picking the locks are the ones that install them, or come out when you’ve misplaced your keys and get you in the house.
The robbers are mainly opportunists that wander around looking for open doors and windows, knock to see if you’re home then try to force a way in.
Since my air fryer notification I’ve bought 2 more Esp32 Dev boards from The Greal Mall of China- AliExpress. A couple days later I’d read about MMwave sensors and purchased a couple of those too....
The ld1115h. Best thing is it’s much better than the aqaras and cost about 2/3 the price. It was free shipping over £8 so that’s around what it cost to make.
I’ve had a 3x3x3 for a few years and so far, I solve it with the beginner method. I watched a J Perm video on the F2L approach and now I’m trying to learn to do that faster. At the moment, I’m still faster going one layer at a time....
The only difference between layer by layer and f2l is there is less steps. Your still putting the same 2 pieces in the corner, just hitting them together first.
How long does it take to get faster? Well it’s kinda a little bit at a time. I managed to drop 10 seconds in a few months then stopped practicing and now I’m back where I was…
Honestly when I was where you are the greatest revelation was learning sledgehammer. It has so many uses, more than sexy move in my opinion.
So you have a corner piece with the white facing you over it’s correct corner. Sexy move and it’s in.
Then you find the corresponding center piece in the top layer (or put it there) and orientate it so the top colour is opposite it’s side on the cube. That may mean your corner is front left or right, but either way you do a sexy move and it’s set up to put both in pieces in together with a 3 move.
