I once won a RPS tournament with 100 people by throwing nothing but paper, and making sure to tell each opponent that’s what i was going to do. I’m convinced people think paper is somehow weaker than rock or scissors and that’s why it’s effective. That and the mind game of telling them what I’ll be throwing. But even when the others that lost to me affirmed that I wasn’t lying people thought I was lying.

june ,

You tell me man. All I know is that it worked.

“Show your employee ID to take advantage of your employee benefits” or smth like that

When we say ACAB, we really do mean ALL

I’m curious how many menus deep the car wash mode is too

june ,

Oh boy. I should proof read before posting lmao.

Fixed

My hallway is shockingly dark when not lit, and the recessed light is so damn harsh I decided to install LED strips up in the corners. But I didn’t want to switch them, so the lights are motion controlled and conditional based on time. During the day, they’re full bright but with a nice color that’s not harsh. At night, only 6 leds light up a nice green so they don’t blast your eyes in the dark.

I have similar control over the kitchen lights but kept the recessed lighting in there. Full bright during the day, dimmed at night.

When the home alarm is triggered, all lights go full bright.

When the garage door is opened, the garage lights turn on.

When the temp in the living room is below 65 in the morning, or at noon, it kicks the heater on until it hits 70.

In the evening, when the outside temp falls below the inside temp, I get sent a message to open the windows. This only triggers in warm months because that crossover doesn’t happen in the cold months. It’s just always warmer inside than out. Similarly, in the mornings, when the temp outside becomes warmer than inside, I get an alert to close the windows. I use Aqara temp sensors on my front and back porches to grab the temps, so it’s very local and takes into account the radiant heat built up from the direct sunlight and works really well. This also has me thinking I might be able to work my contact sensors into the automations too…

I’ve got a contact sensor on my bedroom door to alert me if anyone enters while I’m not home.

My crawl space is encapsulated and I have a large dehumidifier down there. I have a smart switch connected to it so I can have some easy control and monitor power usage. I also have a temp and humidity sensor down there with alerts for if either temp or humidity change too much.

I set up LED lighting on my front porch and have HA turn it on an hour before sunset and off an hour after sunrise. I set it to different colors usually based on holidays, but have it set to a purple that I really like otherwise. Way less harsh than the white porch light.

And of course I can control nearly all the lights in my house from my phone or with Siri.

june ,

I’ve been running HA for two years and barely understand YAML, let alone the main YAML config, which is keeping me from accomplishing a few things I want to do, like taking better control of my air filter.

june ,

Having my hallway and kitchen lights be motion activated and brighter/dimmer based on ambient light is fucking great. If you get there you might wind up loving it like I do lol.

june ,

I got laid off in December and haven’t had a single god damn good lead since then. I’m looking forward to this question in any interviews I manage to land, hopefully within the next 10 fucking years.

Thanks. It’s a tough time to be unemployed but I have a good network of folks that want to help. 3.5 months in I am starting to lose hope and am looking at backup plans (unemployment runs out after 6 months), but I finally got a positive result from a role that I’m actually pretty interested in with the University of Washington. It would be a very solid job and up to a 20% pay increase depending on what I could negotiate. Fingers crossed.

💖💖💖

june ,

Mine is. It has an automatic life maker and filtered water dispenser. It’s pretty common in houses in America, less so in rentals.

june ,

I was just talking to my partner about how I have cum ducts last night, so this is on par for me atm.

june ,

I feel personally attacked right now

june ,

I 100% use GPT to write every cover letter. I’m searching for a job and don’t have the capacity to write a unique cover letter for every role. So I’ve got a huge thread with all my work history, resumes, writing examples, achievements, and a whole litany of other things about me that I go to and tell GPT to write my cover letters with. I proofread them, make edits, and send.

june ,

I’ve been dabbling with Ubuntu for my home assistant and my Plex media server and every damn time I find myself asking ‘why isn’t there a GUI for that?!’

june ,

Lmao’s in VPN

june ,

Using your debit card to pay is convenient, but it can also mean you spend more is, I believe, a sentiment that was passed around when cards started being widely accepted.

june ,

I double click my power button and Apple Pay is there. Way more convenient for me than to pull my wallet out of my purse, pull my card out, wave or insert it, put it back in the wallet, and put the wallet back in my purse.

It’s not for everyone, but I definitely find it more convenient.

june ,

What watch do you use?

june ,

Just curious to know which watch has that laborious of a process. No judgement here.

My Apple Watch is a double click and my default card pops right up. Ezpz.

june ,

Without speaking for you, is it the fact that it could be triggered accidentally (though rather unlikely) that makes you feel it’s less secure?

As far as the technology goes, it’s the same as using Apple Pay from your phone which is pretty secure. So the only difference I see is the lack of biometric with each instance of using your watch, though it does require your PIN or phones biometric each time it needs to be unlocked, it just effectively keeps that token until the watch is removed from your wrist.

june ,

I get where you’re coming from I think. I disagree that it’s less secure but I’m not here to argue, just to understand.

june ,

I’m guessing a lot of people in south Ontario had a similar experience to yours.

june ,

Sometimes a little cloud cover makes viewing the eclipse even better. I wasn’t too far away from the totality last year and saw this one:

What’d I do?

A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions (www.theregister.com)

Schleswig-Holstein, Germany's most northern state, is starting its switch from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, and is planning to move from Windows to Linux on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions....

june ,

I hired an accountant to do my taxes this year and her company had just switched to Libre Office and she, a boomer, could t figure out how to open a fucking CSV with it. She kept complaining about it just being a string of numbers and letters.

I resorted to providing her with PDFs instead.

No fucking clue

Hell yea

Saw them in concert along with Avril Lavigne

In 2014

Oh look, someone that doesn’t understand autism. Cool.

Might be a good idea to stop talking rather than keep shoving your foot farther and farther in your mouth.

For the record, ‘spectrum’ doesn’t mean it’s a linear increase in symptoms. It means it can be any unique blend of symptoms, some of which can allow a person to be very independent while still being cripplingly unable to manage some tasks or activities.

june ,

I’d vote for beans before I voted for RFK

june ,

I’m a different person, but it’s the first time I’ve heard the term used. /shrug

june ,

My ex mother in law and her mom both can’t eat any food that’s not a certain level of bland. Too much of any spice at all and they set it aside like an autistic kid with arfid. Which… come to think of it…

june , (edited )

Yea, one might be alkaline nimh while the other is lithium. Or maybe even just different flavors of lithium.

june ,

A lithium battery needs a charging pattern that reduces voltage as it gets closer to full. And overcharging a lithium battery gets real spicy real quick. You also don’t want to charge them too fast because spicy.

Nicad and nimh batteries (I erroneously said alkaline above) don’t, you just blast it with a steady voltage until it’s done, with some nuance for nimh that’s not worth diving into here.

june ,

Have you considered a NUC?

june ,

I just landed in Vegas (waiting to get off the plane lol) and this is perfect

june ,

I really like the Aqara stuff I have now and have been looking for a good solution to replace my Xfinity home security system and hadn’t even considered them.

Do they have any outdoor cameras? My quick search didn’t find any.

june ,

What’s HSV? Does the Eve integrate in with HomeKit/home assistant the way Aqara does?

june ,

Rad. Thanks!

I can deal with no home assistant right now. I have everything bridged into HomeKit anyway.

june ,

I sometimes try to adjust my side mirror to reflect back at them. I’m positive I fail every time because the limited range of the mirror motors, but it keeps me from getting angrier at least.

june ,

I accidentally squished a gnat in a similar spot in a monitor at work once.

The job applicants shut out by AI: ‘The interviewer sounded like Siri’ (www.theguardian.com)

When Ty landed an introductory phone interview with a finance and banking company last month, they assumed it would be a quick chat with a recruiter. And when they got on the phone, Ty assumed the recruiter, who introduced herself as Jaime, was human. But things got robotic....

june ,

Jesus. Using ChatGPT to answer interview questions?

I use it to help craft my cover letters but nothing past that. It seems like that is the limit of the responsible use of ChatGPT in applications.

june ,

I just spent the last 6 hours trying to get my home assistant VM to run on boot up because I’ve spent the last 6 months unable to get Linux to stop automatically rebooting for unattended upgrades.

I’m far from a power user but it shouldn’t be so fucking hard. It’s like 3 clicks to disable automatic upgrades/reboots in Windows.

june ,

It’s always a pain in the ass for me but I enjoy it. Prefer the ease of use with windows and macOS for my daily driving though. I only use Linux for my home assistant and Plex servers

june ,

Yea, that’s exactly what it did. It was bizarre to realize actually because I felt the same way because it’s text. But here I am

june ,

Oh yea. You’ll def love it when you have time to get to it. I envy you the opportunity to see it for the first time lol.
