Thanks mate, much appreciated. That's what I mean, it's complicated... I have no idea what extra hardware I'd need. I just want to connect it via Coaxial and the only thing I can find is very complicated docs like you found :)

BT is not an option as I'd like to keep using the tablet directly to BT in case MA/HA is down.

MA and HA are hosted on a RPi4 in the garage, not near the speakers.

When I was still drinking, I never understood people drinking tea. Now I really enjoy it. We just try different flavours green tea/herbal tea/black tea/etc from: https://www.tleaft.co.nz/ They ship world wide but I guess there is something in your area too.

Shelley 1

So, there's no way to manually turn it on? In my case, I'd add the Shelly inside the well, wired to the Fan, and will always have the Fan switch on?

I've been sober for 5.5 years. Recently we had a party and someone gave us champagne. I thought, well it's been 5.5 years, I should be able to handle a glass. After a couple of sips I felt the urges so much more intense than before. I had another glass, already causing some weird looks from close people, and felt bad afterwards. Since then, now and then the idea of trying again slipped into my mind. Feels like my mind is tricking me that I should try again. We're on a weekend break away now, so another reason for my mind to say that it would be okay to drink.

I read my notes from when I quit, with reasons why I quit, as I thought I would need them later. That definitely helped. Still, having urges :(

Why can't I drink like most normal people :( Thanks for reading.

Yes, but I think it's because of OpenVino. Some other people with Intel HD using OpenVino had similar issues. I've just switched to another model based on this post.

It has integrated Intel graphics, not a separate GPU.

That is good to know! Will keep an eye on memory usage of immich. I really like it, so I'm reluctant to let it go.

Thanks heaps, that's is very useful. Will connect monitor and keyboard and have a look.

I've uninstalled it, it's an index/search tool. Don't need it :D

 

My 9yo daughter has a tablet with family link, so I can monitor what apps she wants to install. As the garbage games are mostly at the top free, she keeps asking for games that I reject, in most cases because it's riddled with ads.

The Play Store has a section for kids, which seems to have better quality apps and games. Also thinking to subscribe to Play Pass so she can try out paid games.

Any other tips? Especially how to find good free / paid games. I don't mind paying for good games.

Also I'm aware I can block ads using eg Pi Hole (already doing that) or sometimes putting it on airplane mode, but that's not my point. I want to find and support quality games.

 

Personally, one of my highest priorities for voting is climate change so I guess it will be Greens again.

If you think climate change is important as well, please vote accordingly.

I've got Stremio set up with RD and so far very happy. However, recently got an annoying issue with playback so I thought let's give Syncler a try. It was a pain to set up as buying Syncler+ requires crypto, or paying twice as much.

Got it working, added RD, added the Express provider package excluding Orion, but for some shows I get no results whereas in Stremio it worked fine. For example, Starstruck doesn't work in Syncler; it loads for a minute or so with lots of sources, errors, etc. and then says 0 sources found. Other shows load fine. Should I add another source, or am I just unlucky?

Or is there another alternative that works with Realdebrid? I'm on Android TV (CCWGTV). I have got Seren in Kodi, but not a fan of the UI. I like the slick UI of Stremio :)

 

As my daughter is lactose intolerant I started to make cashew based ice cream. Now, we only eat homemade and I think it tastes better than any store bought. I still try to improve, and was wondering if there are any homemade ice cream makers here?

 

When I joined Lemmy during the Reddit exodus it felt like a new breeze and very positive. It feels like this has changed, posts and comments are more negative. Lots of complaints, even positive news posts receive a lot of negative comments. I am always trying to see the positive in things. Just doesn't feel fun anymore. Perhaps it's just me though.

Also still mainly see technical posts, lots of Windows/MS bashing. I'd like to see more communities about non technical things. Perhaps I haven't discovered them.

Can't find community (self.support)

To find and subscribe to new communities is still quite annoying, or is it just me? Trying to find this community from Lemmy.nz but can't find it. https://lemmy.world/c/parenting

When I construct this URL myself I get an error https://lemmy.nz/c/parenting@lemmy.world

It doesn't appear in the search, only one from Lemmy.ml

I'm running HA on docker on a RPI with the Sky Connect dongle. I just wanted to add a new device as I've done many times before, and instead of that device, a device of type "Coordinator" was added with no entities. I'm assuming this is my Sky Connect dongle, but why did this suddenly show up? I can't delete it either. It wasn't there before so I'm very confused. Is there something wrong with my Zigbee network?
