Using vim to write code or using ssh … to use vim to write code…

This is what is visible from HA for my Brother printer.

Brother sells a toner subscription service, but you don’t have to sign up for it. I believe people online have had luck buying third party toner cartridges. I haven’t tried the 3rd party toner yet though. I’m still on my first cartridge. HA says I have 89% left. I bought this printer like 3 or 4 years ago and it still prints great!

(I also bought the monochrome laser printer.)

To Home Assistant! The cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems. 🍻

I agree it sucks.

Soulseek, but also redacted.

Where do you live? What type of unit do you have?

I just got the Meross Smart thermostat running. (The installer literally just left 10 minutes ago.) I had to call an HVAC person to help me install it because I didn’t have the wiring setup properly for a wifi thermostat.

Maybe call an HVAC company and tell them you want to install a smart thermostat, but you’re unsure if your system is compatible. (Maybe they can do some HVAC maintenance while they’re in there too.)

Here’s an actual link to the tech: Zenni ID Guard

Ampwall was another Bandcamp alternative I had heard about. Although, Mirlo is federated with ActivityPub?? Nice.

energy-efficient mainboard

How did you go about selecting one of these?

Nice! Just what I was looking for! My old server would idle at 60W (with 4 HDD). My new server seems to be idling at around 45W. I haven’t looked into any tweaks I could make yet. This will be a good starting point.

*where “idle” means it’s running a bunch of Docker containers, but they’re not being actively used.

Looks cool. Good job!

I know the MIT license tends to be the default… buuuuutttt… there are other licenses too like AGPLv3 or others.

Seems like Seafile has an app on FDroid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.seafile.seadroid2/

I just bought some recertified Western Digital drives on eBay. First time.

3 out of 4 of the drives weren’t detected by the OS… I’m in the middle of RMA right now. They received my broken drives last week, but I haven’t heard anything back yet…

Oye, esa oración no tiene sen—ooooooh. 🙈

Today my wife realized that all this random computer shit I do is actually kinda useful. 😆

I built a virtual thermostat in home assistant and tied it to a Shelly e-paper temperature sensor.

This is interesting… I hadn’t even considered that possibility…

TIL

Ensure the Home Assistant app has the Alarm Sensor enabled. (Settings > Manager Sensors)

Cool!

DO NOT UPGRADE TO FORGEJO v13.0.0.

You prepare by fucking up a lot. You’re gonna have to repeat this shit experience enough times that you get numb to it.

If you want to fuck up again, but in a more controlled environment, maybe check out some mock interview service like interviewing.io or others.

But, that’s how it is. I just went through 7 months of getting punched in the balls before getting lucky.

(Also, leetcode and general prep does help a little too.)
