Ok... I've got my brain tickled... Now my newly installed #Arch does what #Ubuntu did - mostly run idle and sometimes run a game.

The benefit is, I can now also run a new version of #Hyprland. I must say after enough time one can get used to all sorts of polished turds...😅

I have even found a suitable theme and moulded it a bit to my liking...

Time for today's edition of "what went wrong with the computers today"…
When I sat down at my computer this morning, the Windows 11 upgrade I kicked off yesterday had indeed failed as I had suspected it was going to <https://federate.social/@jik/115069952179945603>, but not in the way I expected. My VM was on the boot screen with the spinning Windows booting animation, and on top of that was a pop-up: "Please insert external drive".

Attached: 1 image I'm suspecting that it's going to be at 15% when I go to sleep tonight and it's still going to be at 15% when I wake up tomorrow morning. That is, I think this upgrade is fucked. It's a good thing I did the upgrade on a clone of the VM. If it fails I can throw away the failed VM, make another clone, and try again (which will, no doubt, fail again. 😡).

#GoodMorning! I’ve had a little sleep last night, because I’ve rolled a dice on changing #Zigbee network channel… They do warn you it’s experimental feature.

It’s been previously running on channel 11, which is in fact a shitshow, as there are up to 100 2.4GHz networks around here…😅

Switched to 25.

FORTUNATELY, most of the devices did migrate, leaving me with only a few stubborn switches.

It seems to be working more reliably. Fingers crossed!😍🙈

LOL… In my excitement, I’ve presented the graphs to my Wife and I was instantly bashed for the TV playing all night…😂 #GoodMorning #Zigbee #HomeAssistant #HomeIT #SmartHome

#GoodMorning! The sun is rising in the world of small people, so let them have fun! Little Franek decided to spend his savings on a second hand Playmobil set yesterday and he loves it!😍

Damn, we did not have toys like that when we were kids…🥹

We do have other toys, though. Yesterday I’ve installed a sketchy #Zigbee device to with power monitoring clamps, so I can look at more stats and graphs…😅

The device is Zemismart SDM01 and works with #HomeAssistant with a ZHA quirk…🙈

Couldn’t let it go. #Noctua fans are in, #RaspberryPi and it’s drives are already 20°C cooler. Also, decided to take the modem out of the black chassis and put it back in it’s own case. It was to clunky to due to the cables. Looks as clean, though…🥰 #WifeApprovalFactor #HomeIT #HomeLab #DadFromIT

This looks SO MUCH better… #WifeApprovalFactor bonus points have been gained!😂 It’s now 1 PDU instead of 3 power strips. Easier to manage, easier to clean, easier on the eyes… Yes, I like to look at the hardware inside…😎

At some point I will have to add 2 more fans to that black chassis, as Raspberry Pi and a hard drive inside are idling at 60°C. Also, I think I will take the modem out of that chassis, but I’m not 100% sure yet…
