I love measuring time in Mooches.

I hate that Shelly only does WiFi. I’m a big fan of Zigbee and would love more options.

Sonoff has some really nice Zigbee relays that compete with some of the Shelly products.

I don’t know how they are for longevity, but I’m extremely pleased with the two Shark vacuums we own. We own a bed and breakfast so they get out to heavy use.

Literally the definition of the word.

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’ve always been too much of a cheapskate curmudgeon to pay for food delivery and I’ve been increasingly baffled by people who pay hundreds of dollars a month to have cold, soggy fast food delivered at an eye watering premium.

I get laziness, I really do. For me, personally, going to pick up food is the lazy option.

I hate watermelon. Even the best, most ripe watermelon sucks. But usually they’re mealy and watery in flavor. They also remind me of the taste of cucumbers, which I hate more, unless they’re pickled.

Just a preface that I don’t like PoE.

Season 4 is a lot more fun, but I still think D3 is a better game. But if you compare D4 to what D3 was like at after release, D4 is in much better shape. It’s definitely heading in the right direction, and I suspect that the expansion in August will make it much better, similar to how D2 and D3 did.

Back to season 4, I leveled to max level, maxed out the battle pass, and experienced all of the content and that was good enough for me. I want really interested in sticking around to switch to better build and get the best gear.

I really like KDE. As a long time Windows user, it feels so much more natural than Gnome.

I just installed Bazzite over the weekend on my main computer. It’s definitely not the smooth experience that Windows is, but I’m hoping I can get used to it and keep using it.

Not the best metaphor, because you can force yourself to like a food by continuing to eat it.

It’s not in the headline. Even though I did read the article, I did miss where that is stated. I had to go back to the article to find that.

Pragmatically, she’s still going to vote for Trump. And that’s still a problem.

I dunno, changing the path of a hurricane with a sharpie is pretty fucking funny, too.

Just stop using reddit. I though that’s why we moved here.

What is the reference I’m not getting here?
