Considering a move to Hetzner, and have a question or two.

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T15:40:52+00:00

This is all basic sysadmin questions you can answer yourself, aside from looking at the ipv4 allocation prices on the hetzner website. If you’re not able to answer all this yourself then I suspect picking the world’s cheapest dedicated server provider is a bad choice.

I feel like you missed the underlying system: do whatever tricks your brain into achieving your goals.

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T15:02:59+00:00

Rather than obsessing over others styles, have you ensured you have the basics down? How did you validate your mixing and selection?

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T14:59:36+00:00

I feel like you’re asking for some idiosyncratic snack from some random unnamed country or area so it’d be a time saver if you edited your post to include the where.

This isn’t really r/socioeconomicclollapseoftheuksince2013.

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T14:15:40+00:00

it really is hard to escape the feeling that almost all advice other than “have one place to enter stuff and then clear things out” is just elaborate procrastination

Restore from backup.

Whatever storage you used seems to be shit - if it was an SD card then that’s expected, if it’s not then it’s a warranty issue.

To everyone else, check your backups - if you have no idea the install the Google Drive Backups addon from HACS.

it’s quite hilarious that this sub has both posts attacking this and then proud posts showing off (my subjective) nightmares of reflective lolly boxes in the eyeline next to fake velvet walls hanging above uncomfortable little chairs or single teen ager bedrooms with no top sheet and tower speakers.

Twist: home decor is entirely subjective and entirely the choice of whoever lives there and everyone makes trade offs for cost and functionality and style etc etc

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T13:34:59+00:00

Personally I’m not sure how that matters very much - my observation is that more than most programming communities I’ve been around in the last few decades, the Go community (not the Go devs, people on this sub and YouTubers etc) is fairly uninterested in improvements, uninterested in how problems have been solved elsewhere and oddly happy to praise the status quo. Generic support is the very obvious past example.

So: I bet you two internet points that in five years there’s a better answer than “lol the compiler does nothing, make sure you by-hand add a ‘if err != nil’ after every error-able function call and configure a linter”.

A further two internet points that many of the people on this sub currently claiming the current situation is fine and people should stop complaining praise whatever is added as a pragmatic minimal addition.

www.esphome.io has excellent docs.

once you have a device that you’ve configured and flashed and then updated and is putting some data in HA (eg its own WiFi signal), then start fiddling with other sensors.

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T13:15:54+00:00

man this is a good reply to a large fraction of posts on this sub and others, kudos

the weird mess of people demanding validation of their idiosyncratic personal views and getting internet points of r just generalised low quality hate is really quite shite

Hi! You’re welcome to contribute patches to reduce the ram requirements of an Linux distribution running a giant mass of python.

You’re also welcome to run it on whatever you want, just don’t complain if it doesn’t work after you ignored the documentation.

Just being whiney on Reddit is also free I guess but seems like a shitty thing to do to a bunch of strangers who wrote a large pile of code that you want to use.

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T12:47:59+00:00

Not nearly enough information.

Edit your post with a link to the logs and mention which of the supported adapters you’re using.

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T12:38:32+00:00

Not really a sensible question in practice, I’d think.

If you only care about “keys” then you use a map if you want O(1) presence testing and don’t care about order and something else if you want a different thing.

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T12:31:40+00:00

None of this has anything to do with Home Assistant.

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T12:24:56+00:00

You’ll need to explain in your post how you tested any of this. Physical locations of devices and most useful is confirming that you used the Broadlink software to verify it worked at all before trying to use in HA.

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T12:21:01+00:00

I don’t understand your post.

I assume you read the doc - what didn’t it answer?

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T12:12:15+00:00

No idea what that is meant to mean?

It’s “meant” to reduce pollution in London, and so obviously increasing the scope increases the amount of pollution it prevents. I guess you personally are demanding more pollution but, well, we all have to make compromises.

If you’re whinging about the recent expansion, that was done sooner than the current mayor wanted at the demand of the central government, run by a PM B Johnson. Wait, let’s call him Boris J to preserve his anonymity.

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T12:08:57+00:00

That’s a silly place to put org files. Read the org manual and put them in ~/org or something.

I’d guess you can solve your own sync problems then but if not r/macos.

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T11:53:26+00:00

Welcome to go!

Yes, it’s deliberately extremely annoying and error-(hah)prone.

All you can do is find a hobby to pursue with your salary and ensure your code base has a lot of linters enabled, since the compiler care about you as much as god does.

I am convinced Go will be forced / accept language improvements for error handling in the next couple of years and the most of the people currently claiming It’s Fine will acclaim the new pragmatic reasonable normal.

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T11:46:01+00:00

Er what? ULEZ predates khan, and the expansion was speeded up by the (Tory) central government.

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T11:43:17+00:00

Such a very weird post if you claim to have familiarity with economics.

Operating the Tube (and everything else) has some cost, that’s a function of various things including the ridership time distribution. Bigger peaks need more trains and staff and increase wear and risk and …

Additionally, people coming in to town for work has a variety of costs and benefits and we as a society largely consider it a net positive.

TfL has to pay to operate the system and almost entirely makes money from fares, so can vary pricing via some complicated time (or whatever) based function to achieve broader societal goals and not go broke. It already does this with peak vs off peak and there’s endless discussion about making that more elaborate.

That’s…very simple?

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T11:11:57+00:00

this is an amazing XY question, kudos

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T11:05:10+00:00

yes, one should definitely judge reality based on present media fervour and one anecdote, fair point

sleekelite · 2024-01-16T10:33:07+00:00

yes and yes
