"There's Froghall up the Caldon!"

I've enjoyed many canal cruises up the Caldon Canal to Consall Forge, and then trips on the https://www.churnetvalleyrailway.co.uk/ which originally connected to Alton.

I've used my Brompton for similar in the past.

@aminorjourney Wow - local control of #Samsung !

The announcement that the #SmartThings API is going subscription-only in October is a horrid betrayal after handing over £thousands.

I'd assumed recent devices (UK washer+drier, uW) would be locked down for remote only, but perhaps there is a way...

@bloor If you have a pre-16th ed CU with MCBs and 1x ELCB/RCD, not even a split-load with 2x, I'd consider upgrading to BS7671:2018+A4.

Metal case for fire protection (17) surge protection SPDs (18:A4), per-circuit over-current and leakage RCBOs, and several other benefits. I went for Hager.

Ideally, avoid Henley blocks and multiple CUs that many companies love to install - these are more there to isolate liability than electricity!

(tub and EVSE suggest a mix of kit old and new, so Henleys)

@EarMaster @dantheclamman How?
My Samsung washing machine ONLY supports SmartThings.
Not Z-Wave, not Zigbee, not Thread, not Matter ( all of which I use with #HomeAssistant ).
There were no Matter machines on sale then, so ST into HA worked for notifications and energy.

When #Samsung locks-out #HomeAssistant , all of my #Samsung devices will be reset.
If #Samsung chooses to lock me out, I choose to lock #Samsung out.

@bloor You have my sympathy - 3day prints of dice castles and lithopane moons went the same way.

I've managed to continue a large print by manually feeding reel 2 into the head as reel 1 ends. Manual but joins never worked for me.

Check the end of the filament isn't attached to the reel so it feeds clean at the end (side cut the last bit off).

@bloor Dumb question - have you checked the slicer to understand if all the internal organic supports can be accessed for removal? 🤔

You can guess why that came to mind.
(I had to use long forceps and needle pliers. Took ages.)

@AlexSW101 Nice work - it once took three visits to find a post_box in a hedge up in TD15, so I sympathise!

Sometimes, you have to wait for a different season for a ground-truth survey for #osm

@mme I tried, but the petition believes my email address of 20 years is not a valid personal address. 🤦

MY email address is also MY data. #irony #MyDataGoingMySelf
