Hey original commenter here, just read your username and if Brad is short for Bradford I'm just over the hill from you

As a shop floor guy I identify with what you're saying and if you're not in one get in a Union.

But those guys do all the paperwork and business shit. If they don't do it right then it can blow holes in the business, which pays your wages.

For example, this week has been a shit show at work because the IT crisis happened. This has meant parts that we need haven't arrived, and lines have shut down.

Management have had their heads up their arse trying to keep shit running, sending folk home on holidays, hell lads are taking time off unpaid rather than bum around doing "preventative maintenance"

Someone has gotta make sure all that shit works out and it ain't me. I've just got to get the parts out when they're there.

All I'm saying is that in a good company there's less "Us and Them" everyone has a role that's recognised, and individuals are judged on their work rather than their position. You can have good and bad CEOs and Forklift Drivers

Follow the Left Hand Path

It does. I use Mosquito but I believe HA has a built in one too. Mosquito was easy enough to set up though.

Honestly MQTT is like the nervous system of my HA setup. I started using it with Tasmota when I Tasmotised all my cheap WiFi bulbs, then opted for Zigbee2mqtt for my ZigBee setup.

But I also have things like my bedside clock (an old phone running WallPanel), my doorway tablet (a Nexus 7 running Fully Kiosk Browser), my PC and even my alarm clock app on my phone, all running through MQTT.

I even had Tasker on my phone communicating with HA via MQTT before I gave up on that. It's really useful

Just set up MQTT in home Assistant, why not?

Love it. I bought a sign saying "Beware of the Leopard" for my toilet door yesterday

I used to go to a metal club in my small town in Yorkshire, England, and get drunk and dance to stuff like this.

I also used to get beaten regularly because of the way I dressed.

So when Limp Bizkit played a gig last year in my small town in Yorkshire I had to go. It was fucking mental and I loved every second of it.

This year Korn are playing, can't wait

It's a none stop disco Bet ya it's Nabisco Bet ya didn't know woohoo

You can also use the GPS tracking in the companion app. If you're on android (I've had issues on IOS) and have your home zone set up rightz it's pretty damn solid.

I use it and have my outside lights integrated, and they're always on when I get home at night

Go to your phone WiFi settings and turn off the random Mac address security feature on your wifi, then set up your router in HA as an integration. This will make device trackers for each mac address on your lan.

Then you can set that device tracker in your person.entity to track yourself.

That way, when you get home and on your WiFi, your router will mark you home

If you notice this notice you will notice that the notice is not worth noticing, so why did you notice it?

I remember seeing this when I was a kid, I'm old as fuck now

How do I avoid Hoarding? Well I have a total of 2.75tb of space, so when it gets a bit full I go through and delete shit we watched already so I have space for more stuff

Me too, except it's Adguard for me.

Came in handy yesterday actually. I have a friend who works for a University which was recycling some Chromebooks.

He managed to grab 3 for me, one for myself and one for my kids.

Problem is that one of my kids is being supervised through Google Family Link which means for some reason the Play Store won't work.

So he is now unsupervised in Family Link just to get the Chromebook working.

So I've just given both my kids static IPs and pointed their Chromebooks at Adguard, then turned on Safe Search and adult content blocking.

Now I'm fairly confident they're protected from a lot of the bad shit on the internet.

Is that a kind of yellow?

Listen to the song, see how it sounds to.you, it's doggy do, and they were all BEIGE

When I die my friends will miss me like usual. Then the Plex server will go down and they'll miss me all over again.

I've passed my display through to a VM in Proxmox for transcoding and now I can't get the GUI for that VM.

Is this something that would allow me to connect to that VM on another PC and use a virtual desktop?

If so, I may have to have a play with it. I mean I'm happy away using SSH but why not have UI if I can?

Good to know, I'll turn it off when I get home from work, thanks

I got a top of the range one from 7 years ago for £25 on eBay.
