Just a guy, a computer, and an ongoing attempt to work less and live more.

For fun: #homeassistant, #factorio, #foosball, metal shows, grilling, and reading about spaceships fighting.

We have five cats, which are henceforth referred to as The Goblins.

@thomas We have a Coleman, two burner propane camp stove that we could use, though my current inventory of propane is only a partial tank for the gas grill. Probably should be a bit more purposeful about that.

Hey internet, I have a confession. I'm kind of into prepping. Not end of the world, zombie apocalypse stuff but maybe like another pandemic, power grid issues, water issues from the city or even just supply chain disruptions.

Mostly I'm preparing for those things by having a #DeepPantry. I don't have flour in mylar bags or 5 gallon buckets but we have stocked up on the normal things we eat. The goal is to be able to eat out of our food stores for a month without leaving the house.

We've also stored 14 gallons of drinking water.

I still feel there's more to do that doesn't involve bunkers or stock piling guns but I do feel like we're somewhat prepared for the most common issues I can think of.

@tj How did you find the #valetudo installation? How have you found it overall?

I have iRobot and the home assistant intergration is very basic in that I don't have any way to do room/spot cleaning. Simple on or off and that's it. :(

@mms Fathom analytics here.
I'm thinking about switching out my Unifi gear.. OPNSense firewall/router, reolink cams, etc
Y'all why are the #Reolink cameras so much cheaper than #Unifi cameras? Would really love to play around with the Reolink cameras, especially as it relates to #HomeAssistant integration.

Never used pocket so nbd here. In fact, I was always kind of annoyed at how it was pushed on me in Firefox.

I don't do much read later bookmarking, but I've been a pinboard.in customer for a long time. It's just a guy with a couple servers in a data center somewhere. As far as I can tell, he's not really updating it any these days as it seems the same as always and that's fine with me.

@thomas Not sure on your requirements but I'm using https://capsul.org/ for the VPS that runs my website.

@btp I didn't realize hating Tina Fey was a thing.
@zonorti I actually looked at innr because I've settled on their smart bulbs and like them quite a lot. I didn't think their strips are available in the US tho. 😖
