I mean.... I use my real name.

Canada has decent healthcare, and I'd be worried that if we let you have Canada - you'd degrade that. America is basically a floating shopping mall. Everything is for sale. Even things that really shouldn't be.

Sadly I haven't yet got Kbin's RSS to work with FreshRSS. It claims there is no feed. Which is a shame. But yes I use FreshRSS daily 👍

My automations include:

• Setting the lighting mode to "night mode" based on a threshold of the outside lux level, which is changed dynamically based on the reported weather condition.

• Setting a master brightness input_number based on a threshold of the outside lux level, which is dynamically changed based on the reported weather condition. Every room then has it's own input_number which is automatically set every time the master brightness changes, and either has additional brightness added relative to the master, or brightness subtracted.

• At 7:30am some Jinja code starts setting a daylight temperature input_number which starts adjusting the Kelvin temperature of supported lights in the house. I'm aware that there are various integrations to do this, but they all appear to be based on the actual sun, and as a SAD sufferer I don't understand why people would want that, especially in the winter. My solution guarantees me at least 8 hours of "daylight" regardless of what the time of year is. - The code is ridiculously simple too:

    {% set k_end = 5500 %} {% set k_start = 2000 %} {% set t_start =
    today_at('07:30') %} {% set t_end = today_at('10:30') %} {% set cv =
    ((now()|as_timestamp) - t_start|as_timestamp)|int %} {{ k_start +
    (cv/3.0857)|int }}

Then the reverse happens starting at 6pm:

    {% set k_start = 5500 %} {% set k_end = 2000 %} {% set t_start =
    today_at('18:00') %} {% set t_end = today_at('21:00') %} {% set cv =
    ((now()|as_timestamp) - t_start|as_timestamp)|int %} {{ k_start -
    (cv/3.0857)|int }}

My other favourite automation, is something I call Music Walk, essentially when I play music on a group of speakers, as I move about the house when the occupancy of a room changes (camera through frigate, and Zigbee motion) a script is triggered which increases the volume in that room, and starts a timer for 01:30:00 and then after occupancy has been cleared, the timer is reset to 00:05:00 and when the timer finishes - it will run the script that changed the volume originally and set it to 0.1 So it feels like as I walk into rooms the music follows me there, but really it was already playing there - just quieter.

When someone says "check out my sound system", that's how I check it out 😂

Nah, can't scroll past this one without commenting - because so many things that have been said matter of factly are just plain wrong.

1. Dogs just like people have their own personalities, just because SOME dogs can be trained to ignore fireworks, it does not mean ALL dogs can be - some dogs - just like people, suffer from various anxieties, it can't be helped.

2. The main point you seem to be missing - yes you can stay in and chill with your pooch on the ACTUAL day that fireworks are expected to be going off, but what you cannot do - is stay in and chill with your pooch for weeks before and weeks after the actual day, because people randomly decide to let them off.

The fact that you brand everyone a bad dog owner if their dog cannot tolerate fireworks though, is the thing that made me need to comment, what a stupid thing to say. That's like saying that if your child suffers from anxiety then you are a bad parent.

According to my doctor - after diarrhea, it takes about 5 days for the digestive system to start working properly again (because the bacteria has to build back up to enough). So that would be my recommendation. Have diarrhea and then it doesn't really matter what you eat after that, the poster would be back home again before they had to worry about pooping.

As someone who has diarrhea anytime I'm going to be in a stressful situation - I can testify that it takes me about a week to "form" poo again.

Huh.... because they are all describing a particularly shitty work environment, there is a good bet that there are other employees who feel that way. It might indeed not be the protests that kill Reddit - but Reddit itself that kills Reddit.....

Making jokes is how people cope with tragic events.
This is why there is the on-going debate, that no topic should ever be unavailable to joke about.

I remember that the very same day that Princess Diana died, people were saying "Died in a nasty accident" and that was before the days of the internet being popular, that was a joke that spread around the country by text message.

This is actually an entirely possible scenario - given the EU's digital markets act that kicks in next year, this would be a quick and easy way for Meta to be compliant - they can say they are using an open standard, which fully complies with the requirements of the EU act.

OK, so the first thing we can see there in the comments is that someone found that with that setting turned on, it prevented the phone from being able to roam between access points, so that's probably the issue with the phone.

As for the next part login to the router, find the part about configuring the internet connection and in there will be something like WAN DNS or something, if it's set to get it automatically - then it will be using whatever the ISP set when you receive your WAN IP address from them. I typically use 8.8.8.8 (Google) and 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) which gives me redundancy if Google or Cloudflare fall over, it's not likely both will fall over at the same time without some major global internet outage.
