Is Home Assistant the recommended default for smart homes? - Lemmy.World
I’m planning to build several WiFi connected devices for home automation: an AC
remote control and air quality sensors. These devices would send data and be
controlled through a local server. I’m considering two approaches: running
custom software on a server PC (hardware to be determined) or integrating with
Home Assistant’s protocols and purchasing their hardware. Would using Home
Assistant be excessive for this use case?

Curbing Airbnb's expansion in the city - Lemmy.World
I’m surrounded by Airbnbs where I live. Has any one had any experience with
halting the expansion of Airbnbs? Politically or legally even. Saw one host
operating a few dozen listings in Seattle which is outrageous (probably found a
loophole). Can’t have that with a housing crisis. Any tips help! Thanks!
Police and Fire scanner - Lemmy.World
Just thought to put the URL out there for those unaware. Useful in cases like
yesterday on Cap Hill, there was a police helicopter circling a block for half
an hour or more. The news didn’t cover this. Listening to it explained the
situation (armed robbery).

Levy renewal proposition on the ballot

Levy renewal proposition on the ballot - Lemmy.World
Let me know if this is against the rules, if so I’ll remove the post. I read in
the voter pamphlet the proponents take and opponents take on the renewal, but
something didn’t add up. Opponents mentioned that this levy would make our
sidewalks, roads and bridges worse, but in the budget allocation there’s funds
for fixing sidewalks roads and bridges. What am I missing here?

Komonews now apparently does this crap where it needs to “process” your cookie
opt-out, at least on mobile. Any alternative news sources you’d recommend to
follow? Just for stuff like weather or big events. If you’re unfamiliar with
this tactic, when you click “opt-out” the webpage basically displays this widget
with a loading bar saying it needs to “process” your request. When in reality
you’re asking them to simply not use cookies, so it’s saving the web browser
time by not installing any cookies.

Any recommendations on tracking road closures and big events in SODO to avoid
traffic?
