For components and wires that are made to a spec, I feel far more comfortable buying from CPC or Mouser.
Amazon sellers just feel like a coin flip if the guy is going to ship you CCA 24 AWG instead of OFC 23, in the hope you don’t notice or bother complaining.
Flushable rapid-set concrete.
Cutting dev time, because instead of having to use smoke and mirrors to create…smoke and mirrors, they can just use GPU manufacturer’s libraries to render it in real time.
This is a really nice guide, and covers everything from source source to sea, so to speak.
Ideal for someone installing for the first time, thanks for sharing!
Massive love for Reaper. One of the few bits of software I’m happy to pay for each time I’ve had my 3 future versions, or whatever it is.
Five guys do unlimited refills, but the cup is 5 fucking quid. Similar tale in Marugame Udon.
And that’s on top of a tenner each for the burger. At least they don’t police whos cup is whos.
Which British accent? Westcountry or Scouse, you probably have a point.
Security wise, while I love automating everything, I personally would just give them a physical key to the front door. (Or an RFID keyfob system).
What you’d be achieving is the equivalent of keyless car entry, with the additional downside that your son can’t choose not to open the door if something sketchy happens.
And instead of entrusting them with a traditional key that they can treat responsibly, you’re just putting something in their backpack that they don’t have to think about.
If you really want to do it, basically anything in homeassistant that has wireless capability and a state would probably work.
A zigbee radio, and pretty much any device doing anything would do it.
When device_name becomes available, activate door opening.
That’s a pretty neat bit of kit. If they did it in metric sizes, I’d be tempted.
Your meter may have some kind of magnetic flux that occurs as the dial spins, which you might be able to sense and interpret.
I’m curious to hear what people come up with, as I quite fancy one too.
I would be wary of installing anything that actually touches the water that doesn’t come from an accredited manufacturer, however. As you don’t want Ali-express grade metal in your drinking water.
Which unfortunately means the options will be either expensive, or building off the back of other equipment currently installed (water meter, etc).
My apologies, I forgot how truly selfless the CEO class is.
It was broken for a few weeks of 2024.2 (I think). I ended up learning how to do a manual downgrade while they fixed it!
Asking questions is always good, don’t worry! Feel free to ask more, heck update the thread and ask questions as you go along if you like.
If you list the devices you want to migrate, I’m sure the community will happily highlight any tips, or which will be the easiest to get you started.
I would love to see a fork of this that makes it sound like a Geiger counter.
Maybe with scale options, so it doesn’t just become a humming sound.
It is indeed! Mostly just fiddling around with the settings.
@smeg@feddit.uk, here is a paste of the config so you can play with it:

Once you’ve got your head around horizontal stacks (lets you put multiple small dials together), it’s mostly picking thresholds and settings colours.
Currently, it’s using a Waze integration.
The coolest thing, is that it’s given me a really nice data set for when are the bad times to drive across town are. (Sadly, it’s during the morning and afternoon school runs).
It also reveals that the travel time on average is impacted significantly by the school holidays, and the weather.

It’s nice to compare the local predicted temperature, and local sensor.
I’m not sure if there is a way to quickly find this. The best bet is probably trying the bigger instances, and seeing if it’s accessible through them.
You’ve made me think now: it might be a nice project for a some instance admins to flag when an instance they had received posts from goes offline. (I should probably check what I have from feddit.de!)
