I have a Yale PIN lock that has swappable wireless cards. I use it on a Zigbee network, but that’s completely optional. It’s fantastic. Even without the wireless, it’s great.
I’ve had to reprogram it once or twice just due to issues with my smart home stuff, and even the physical interface is nice and easy, assuming you’re just entering your PIN or if you have the manual available if you’re doing anything more involved.
Pre hard mode is pretty basic today, but was pretty neat back when it came out.
Post hard mode is a lot more interesting. I’d say don’t give up on it until you get there.
Surely Donald “finish the job” Trump won’t be worse for Israel, and literally everything else.
I used to be local to Onyx. I really enjoyed their coffees. They are pretty pretentious, though.
I have a very similar story, only I went with Bazzite, and now Aurora.
I was using 11 and honestly didn’t hate it, but I could see the writing on the wall. The Steam Deck showed me what I could do with Linux, do I just did it.
I had dabbled with Ubuntu desktop in the past, but it was the Steam Deck with KDE that really sold me on Linux for the desktop.
I do not like GNOME. KDE is great, though.
I did the rim to rim hike over 4 days, 3 nights. We hiked in from the North Rim.
I was not in nearly as good of shape as you were, but in probably the best shape of my life.
It was an amazing trip, but the hike out was no fucking joke. And you did it in half the time I did. Hard to imagine.
I distinctly remember seeing runners who would run by with no camping gear, meaning they were presumably doing the entire trail in one day. I don’t understand how that’s possible.
But what if the interview goes well… Then what? We can’t just hire them. Then we’ll be forced to maybe face… Something. Not sure exactly what…
The obvious intent of the graphic is in regards to dieting for the purpose of losing weight.
But if you eat nothing but Snickers and maintain a calory deficit you’re gonna have a bad time.
But you would lose weight, because of the deficit. It’s just that it would be very difficult to maintain that diet for myriad reasons.
Blazing Saddles came out in 1974 and practically killed a genre.
I grew up poor. My chore was dishes, for a family of 5. I was also diagnosed with ADHD but not properly managed. And often I was punished with “wash every dish in the house”.
All that to say I spent a lot of time in the kitchen either hating washing dishes or procrastinating doing the dishes and hating my life because I couldn’t go do something else.
Then in class one day our teacher asked the class what everyone’s least favorite chore was, and one girl in the class said she hated unloading the dishwasher. The absolute gall.
That’s interesting. I didn’t know that. I tried working with Waydroid once on Bazzite on an older desktop of mine and didn’t get terribly far with it.
The Deck is what have me the confidence to move to Linux on desktop. I wouldn’t have switched if not for Valve.
Literally the definition of the word.
My dad got and refurbished a vintage receiver and was showing it off to me. I asked if he was listening to a CD or a record because I’d never heard clearer audio. Nope, it was an FM station.
Blew my mind.
A lot of the modern tech is really good, though.
Cars are way more reliable than they were. They get way better gas mileage. They have a shitload more power (this is actually a con due to how everyone else drives these days). They’re way safer in both accidents and just general driving with traction control and lane departure warnings.
So it’s a real mixed bag. But I’d rather have the cars of today.
seems like every update of Proton is nerve wracking.
If a version update to Proton breaks your game, you can always specify the previous version.
Auto detection for MQTT devices is a bit tricky. I struggled with that myself when I was trying to incorporate data from a web scraper I wrote. This config file here shows what I ended up with to create auto detecting sensors in HA https://github.com/chunkystyles/reservationsScraper/blob/main/mqttConfig.json
Each one of the devices gets registered at start up of the app.
If I were doing this all over again, I probably wouldn’t use auto detect sensors. I’d manually configure them. Here’s some examples of that kind of configuration I used for some HVAC remote devices I built:
mqtt:
sensor:
- name: "makerfabs_remote_1"
state_topic: "makerfabs/hvacremote/1/status_out"
force_update: true
expire_after: 125
- name: "makerfabs_remote_2"
state_topic: "makerfabs/hvacremote/2/status_out"
force_update: true
expire_after: 125
- name: "makerfabs_remote_3"
state_topic: "makerfabs/hvacremote/3/status_out"
force_update: true
expire_after: 125
- name: "makerfabs_remote_4"
state_topic: "makerfabs/hvacremote/4/status_out"
force_update: true
expire_after: 125
For these to work, you just put them in your “configuration.yaml” file in HA.
I’m going to up vote and ruin this, but document for posterity.
