As Colorado budget committee works to prevent further cuts to early childhood services, families share their stories - Lemmy.World

As a parent of a toddler in this program (one who is getting 4 provider visits per week, was going to be cut to 4 per month) I’m glad to have gotten an email late Friday saying that there will be no changes to services at this time. Still, this week has been a clusterfuck for us and especially our providers!

Ender 3 V2 has gap on right side of bed, even with auto-level

Ender 3 V2 has gap on right side of bed, even with auto-level - Lemmy.World

In the past I’ve gotten around this by printing on the left side of the bed, but some things need the space so here I am. I’ve got an Ender 3 V2 with some tasteful mods: OctoPrint, BLTouch, a magnetic flexible bed surface, and a few other things people are bound to do with an entry-level printer they got for $100 with a Micro Center coupon. One issue I’m having with it is that any printing done on the right side of the bed seems to have a pretty big gap. I have the G28 and G29 commands in to run the bed level, I try to get it leveled properly with the springs (with help of the bed visualizer plugin for OctoPrint) and no matter what I do, the nozzle drifts just a little farther from the bed on the right side, so the filament does not stick. I’m open to more mods, but before I spend more time and money on this for what I think is the problem, does anyone actually have a good idea of what’s wrong here? Thanks much!

YAML Newbie, stuck on what should be an easy question (using state attributes instead of numeric value)

YAML Newbie, stuck on what should be an easy question (using state attributes instead of numeric value) - Lemmy.World

Trying to run an automation to match one light’s state (on/off/dim) to another’s. Have this currently: alias: Sync cabinet lights with sink light if: - condition: device type: is_on device_id: [something]5710 entity_id: [something]a438 domain: light then: - type: turn_on device_id: [something]b447 entity_id: [something]470f domain: light brightness_pct: 100 else: - type: turn_off device_id: [something]b447 entity_id: [something]470f domain: light That works fine to turn the lights on or off, and I have triggers in the automation for that and changes in brightness. But using a non-static number for brightness_pct (yes, I know I’ll probably have to math the 0-100 scale instead of 0-255) is giving me trouble. When I try something like this: alias: Sync cabinet lights with sink light if: - condition: device type: is_on device_id: cf56fdf2b6c37a7dcf7158be3c945710 entity_id: 0cd3cf1f7357e615fbe81516c783a438 domain: light then: - type: turn_on device_id: a10fec546e97b3218296f3239058b447 entity_id: 0caa44c4824b8b85de411b665a88470f domain: light brightness_pct: {{state_attr("light.kitchen_sink_ceiling", "brightness")}} else: - type: turn_off device_id: a10fec546e97b3218296f3239058b447 entity_id: 0caa44c4824b8b85de411b665a88470f domain: light I have also tried {{states.light.kitchen_sink_ceiling.attributes.brightness}} instead. Both seem to have the correct value when I play around in the developer tools. But when I put it in the automation, I get an error that a float value was expected. I see some similar issues online, but it always seems to be in a different context and people fix it by changing some value I never had.

I borrowed a bunch of tables from friends for a garage sale last weekend, and gave them back yesterday.

My, how the tables have returned!

My daughter just took a full bottle - her second in a row. Then she fell asleep in my arms. Feels good .

Year and a half old. It may feel silly, but she’s always been in the single-digit percentile, usually low-single-digits at that. She was born about 3 months premature, and after her weight gain stalling, they prescribed a medication with a side effect of increased appetite to give things a jump start. I think it’s going to work 🙂

Anybody in this community? Why do onion cutting instructions say to make cuts horizontally?

Anybody in this community? Why do onion cutting instructions say to make cuts horizontally? - Lemmy.World

So many instructions to cut an onion are essentially 1. Cut off the top 2. Peel 3. Cut in half 4. Cut horizontally (in parallel to the cut you just made) 5. Cut vertically into strips from just shy of the bottom to top, with the bottom holding things together 6. Cut vertically perpendicular to your last cuts to get little squares On something like a potato, I’d understand it. You’ll be cutting a 3-dimensional object along all 3 axes to get cubes. But as Shrek taught me, onions have layers. Why make that first set of horizontal cuts when the onion’s natural layers do the same thing already, albeit a little bit curved?

Viewing logs after HA goes down?

Viewing logs after HA goes down? - Lemmy.world

Running on a Raspberry Pi 400 Lately my home has been dumb and unassisted at random times, and the HA app can’t connect to my HA rpi server. Ditto when I go to homeassistant:8123 in a browser. I’m trying to see what’s causing this, but the logs in app only show since last restart. Tried plugging my Pi into a monitor and getting something from the command line but not sure how to do the equivalent of a Linux tail or whatever. Searching was surprisingly unhelpful. Any advice? Thanks much!

Why do so many Lemmy instances use weird TLDs?

Why do so many Lemmy instances use weird TLDs? - Lemmy.world

I get that some instances use the domain + TLD to make a word, like lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] or to an extent, sh.itjust.works. But I’ve seen so many TLDs I had no idea existed, like .world, .zone, .social, and yes .works as well. Is there any real reason for that? Trying to look cool or kinda underground-y? Cheaper and more varied domain options? Something actually kinda functional? Interestingly, I started on vlemmy.net [http://vlemmy.net] because I was a scared Reddit refugee and the .net TLD gave me comfort. Then it vanished a few days later without a trace. So here I am on lemmy.world
