This photo is taken out of context, though. I mean, he slapped his chest before the salute, and he did it twice in a row… Ah shit nevermind, he’s a Nazi.

I’m not up to date on the current market, but I have Ikea blinds that are battery operated which I control from HA. The batteries are rechargeable, and the batteries themselves have micro-USB ports for charging.

One option would be to buy these, see what kind of charging port they come with these days, and try to make some physical modifications to jam a USB connector in there. From there, you just have to figure out the solar part. A lot of solar charge controllers have USB ports which should work to charge the battery, but they are clunky and you’d have to mount it on the wall probably.

For what it’s worth, the batteries in these shades last quite a long time… Looking at one of them, I last charged it in September 2024, and it’s still at 72%. It goes up/down at least once a day I’d say.

Nope. If it was something that I’d need to refer to later I might go the photo route, but since it’s all temporary reference I just toss it in the trash.

I do for my job, where I need to quickly jot down important information. The info I jot down is temporary in nature, and after a particular “job” (I might have a few jobs in a day), the info is useless.

Paper and pen is great because it’s fast, custom, doesn’t take up screen space, and you don’t have to click buttons to throw it away.

It’s run by the main developers of Lemmy, and they’re both authoritarian communists (which I just got from Wikipedia as I’m trying not to use the pejoritve “tankie”).

Anything that could be perceived as speaking down towards Russia, China, maybe even North Korea, ends up with your comment getting deleted and your account banned for a period of time.

They started Lemmy because @dessalines got banned from Reddit. The backwards thinking is that people shouldn’t be banned for speaking their minds, yet their instance is the absolute worst for that.

By avoiding .ml you are helping Lemmy be what it should be – a decentralized, user owned, user moderated place with sensible decisions behind the scenes.

!linux@lemmy.world and !linux@programming.dev have my support since I boycott .ml whenever possible.

Looks like you can add these sensors. Verify on the product page, though. I only just looked at the WS-5000.

I agree with Ambient Weather. Spend as much as you’re comfortable with. Make sure it has a WiFi base station. I’m using this integration installed through HACS. It’s solid.

For remote access, wireguard is great. You can access stuff via their internal addresses.

One of the few podcasts I listen to sometimes. Wishing them well and thanks for all of the hard work.

I don’t need backlight to type words, but love backlit keys for symbols, brightness keys, volume keys, function keys, etc.

I just discovered (thanks to this site) that you can click the uBlock Origin icon, then “enter element zapper mode” (the lightning bolt). It just gets rid of whatever you want to disappear.

I wonder if it started as a joke.

“Where can you force people to sit still for long enough to detect an afib?”

“The toilet!”

uBlock Origin, to be specific. I don’t know if it’s still a thing, but uBlock used to be not good in comparison to uBlock Origin.

There are various ways to use it, yeah.

I’m not smart, can you tell me if having it behind a reverse proxy with certs and everything fixes any of these flaws?

Will you be recording the video? HA doesn’t do that on its own, but you can install the Frigate add-on if your hardware supports it. I recommend a good HDD for recording to. I have a WD purple just for video recordings.

I’m not sure how well an HA Green would do with Frigate, although it is possible to run it on a Raspberry Pi if you add something like a Coral via USB (https://coral.ai/products/accelerator/) to handle the heavy lifting… so a Green should be fine. Don’t take my word for it, though.

I’m a fan of Dockge. Nice simplicity, easy to update container stacks, etc. etc.

That’s exactly how I’d use it. It’d have a time delay, too.

Also, completely unrelated, but it’s odd seeing a totally normal, non-tankie user from lemmy.ml.

It looks like the hEX refresh is the same price from that vendor.

RB5009 is better but more expensive. There’s a PoE version that can power your WiFi APs in the future.

I also question the decision to put OpenWrt on it. RouterOS is solid. There’s a learning curve, but it’s worth it if you’re a nerd.
