@ticky yeaaaaah I'm not happy that it's stopped getting updates. Not sure what else they would add though that I'd use though, I don't do anything too fancy with my photos

@ticky I use Photomator, which I like because it uses sidecars and it's really fast (even on iPad). It has Apple Photos integration but I don't use it cause... RAWs are huge

@aaronmoodie There's Sweet Home 3D but the UI is... classic. But, bunch of useful built-ins like tables, shelves, chairs, you can just drag in. For 3D modelling, I use Onshape

Are you scared of geckos?

I'm asking because I've found someone who is terrified of them.

Huh, aren't they kinda cute?

You can hate LLM use in software as much as you want, but boy does taking it out on tridge over the rsync issues feel bad. The sense of entitlement to dictate how a maintainer of open source software that you're not paying for should do their work isn't it. If you care deeply I'd suggest volunteering to be a maintainer yourself and just let the guy go sailing. Also not like rsync was issue free before!

@decryption yeaaaah I'm not sure if the pairing process is as well-tested as Home.app's
Show threadchendoJun 4
@decryption try this, cause this is how I paired mine: I paired into Apple Home first, using Home app, then you go into the accessory and tap "Turn on Pairing mode", and it'll give you another code, which I pasted into Home Assistant. Then, for any device I don't want siri to control (like most plugs), I remove it from Apple Home. Main upside is you can have HASS and Home control the device independently of each other, so even if HASS is down, shit can still work

@decryption oh, burning down the home in Homekit? I deleted all of my homes, then went through Keychain Access and deleted anything that looked like it was Thread credential or to do with Homekit, in local but mostly cloud keychain entries

@decryption I had a journey with pairing the IKEA matter stuff and got my thread network into a cooked state where nothing would pair, turns out there was multiple thread networks on my keychain for some reason so I made the decision to burn down my HomeKit homes, purged the keychain of those entries, and start fresh, and then it's been fine (battery-powered devices are tricky but I've only just upgraded firmware on these)
