NFC Tags and Wireless Charging - Lemmy.World
Maybe not the correct place but I know a lot of folks use NFC tags to trigger
automation. Does anyone have experience with a tag in-between their phone and
the wireless charger? I have a few wireless charging stands I’d like to set
automations to (ie: “I’ve set my phone on the nightstand charger, X,Y,Z lights
should be set to red if they’re turned on now”). I’m just not sure how close the
freqs both use are (and even less sure of how much interference causes issues).
So yeah, has anyone used an NFC tag in-between their phone and wireless charger
without melting either?
Are Tuya local keys permanent (like a MAC address)?

Are Tuya local keys permanent (like a MAC address)? - Lemmy.World
Hi All, Bargain outlet near me had a bunch of the “monster smart illuminessence”
stuff at a price that made me try one. A few hours later and I have them running
properly on LocalTuya. I went and scooped up a bunch more given the success. My
question is: When is the local key issued and when does it change? I’d like to
get them all taken care of and put in the box with key written down so I can
delete the official tuya app, and also not have to worry about if Tuya will
change it’s dev policy so I can’t get access to the keys anymore. As a side
note, I’ll give Tuya credit, I can easily see where that is a great tool for
folks looking to offer smart goods… it’s also exactly why I’ll always be local
only.

Unraid question: Moving a server with external HD array

Unraid question: Moving a server with external HD array - Lemmy.World
Hi All, I’ve been learning on an unraid server for a little less than a year. I
have an array of 4 HDs mounted via USB externally. I know it’s not ideal, but I
kind of started learning and now… well here we are. I’m getting ready for a
move, and before I pack it up, do I need to make sure I keep track of whats
plugged in where? I’m not clear if the array will go by the HD device ID or not.
There are four drives in 2x USB connected drive duplicators, if that makes a
difference (I know I know). I have not touched anything and can spin it back up
to check on any specifics, plenty of other things to pack for a few days. Thank
you for any help!
Thanks to everyone for the input, after drying a ~100g spool of PLA for 8 hours and having failed prints on the original nozzle and new nozzle I have initiated a refund.
Flashforge AD5X, how long do nozzles last? Premature wear

Flashforge AD5X, how long do nozzles last? Premature wear - Lemmy.World
Hi All, This will be difficult to pin down, but getting pointed in the right
direction would be helpful. Purchased a FlashForge AD5X ~5 weeks ago. Worked
great, one button calibration out of the box, I proceeded to do what everyone
does when learning: print a bunch of stuff, mix success and stumble over the
usual stuff. Ie: Learned why you clean the bed, learned how supports work, deal
with filament breaks etc etc. About a week ago I had a print fail, it looked
like there was a broken filament that wasn’t being pushed. I do a cold pull on
the nozzle, and was able to print successfully for a time (although there were
some small features on some prints that seemed sloppy compared to previous
prints). After that though ALL my prints started to fail. Even after cleaning
the bed, double checking bed/nozzle temp, I’d get bad adhesion. I’d also get the
nozzle dragging through layers, as if the Z was off (even after running
calibration repeatedly and before each print). There was some popping and
oozing, which I put up to not storing my PLA dry (although ambient was only
~40%). However the problem persisted even with a freshly opened vac-sealed
(confirmed seal was good) roll of PLA. I ordered a replacement nozzle that
arrives today, but can anyone give me some insight? I only ran ~2kg of PLA
through, that seems like really premature wear; I must have done something
wrong. Thanks for anything putting me in the right direction.
Can/should I just use a networked folder as a duplicati backup destination?

Can/should I just use a networked folder as a duplicati backup destination? - Lemmy.World
Stumbling through getting a proper backup regime in place. I have an unraid
system running a proper array, and am trying to setup backups for two separate
machines (one windows one debian). I’ve successfully setup a file share, and
have duplicati running. Are there disadvantages to just setting the network
folder as the destination for the backup? It seems a little hamfisted (and the
data rates are terrible). It seems like there’s probably a better way to do
this…

Security/FULL self hosting? Looking for info before starting... - Lemmy.World
Hi All, Looking to steer into HA, but have some questions on how data is
handled. First, I don’t mean the opt-in on the scant analytics. HA is very clear
about that which is great. Awesome clear policy. Second, I understand that
“integrations”, which use a device manufacturer’s/services
software/infrastructure, are outside scope here (although I do have some
questions). My goal is to find and work a system where no one knows when my
lights are turning off and on, and is only on my hardware. IE: If the internet
went down, but I was still connected to local wifi, can my HA still work? The
answer seems like a strong “yes”, but I want to double check. I also want to
make sure if I do use an integration that there’s not an avenue for telemetry
beyond that integration. IE: I don’t want Spotify to gain access to what
temperature I keep my house just because I want to play music. I also have
questions about the mobile app, but if the rest is truly locked down, I can
navigate that. I currently have an automated bog garden, but how I did it isn’t
really scalable. It’s all modbus components with values passed to a local server
to generate a dashboard. I’d like to expand to more actual “home” automation,
and this seems like a great tool! Thanks for any clarification.

Pretty much the title. I’d like to add it to the archives.
Foot peg question? - Lemmy.World
Just a preference thing I guess, but I’m curious where people fall. On my gen1
KLR I had stock foot pegs, and I liked them because they were narrower, and sort
of “locked in” to the arch on my boot when I was standing. My Gen2 KLR and now
my KTM both have wider pegs, I know thats better for tarmac, and they seem to
have plenty of bite, but I never quite got used to it. Anyone else feel similar?
Just looking for some input before I “downgrade”
