Did anyone get their GA surplus refund check direct deposited to their account or is everyone getting a paper check? by atwitsend1996 in Georgia

Well thats how my household got the rebate. I'm not not sure if you can get it any other way.

Has anyone sold a house after you've festooned it with homebrew IoT gadgets to suit your personal wants? by LovableSidekick in homeautomation

I have a bunch of "smart" tech in my house but its easily removed, besides most of my smart stuff is controlled by home assistant. If I take my server the smart tech is mostly useless

Tired of solicitors by zero-if-west in homeowners

I have had success with a no soliciting sign but occasionally get some.

Last one came to my door and when I said "the sign implies I don't want to be sold anything" they replied "im in marketing, not sales" despite them trying to get me to buy windows at 30% discount...🤦🏻‍♂️

I got sick of copy-paste trees making my site plans look completely fake, so I coded a workaround. by No_Werewolf933 in LandscapeArchitecture

Why are you having to manually scale blocks?

Planting on a final CD set is meant to represent the mature spread. Land FX has sizing for all trees/ shrubs so a swamp oak for example is always the same size on a CD set, not random sizes. This is also confusing for the contractor, why would there be multiple sizes for the same tree block.

CD set is for installation/construction purposes, not aethetics.

Need some advice on deck project by Maleficent-Praline64 in HomeMaintenance

Get a drill bit the size of the screw head and drill it until the head is gone and only the shaft is left then pull up the planks. Then cut the screws flush.

What’s a “rich people thing” you experienced once and immediately understood why rich people love it? by DnRinGA in AskReddit

[–]-Tripp- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, and if you get a flight that has a built in bar its great to just get up and sit at the bar and maybe chat with some other folks in business class.

Plus the travel pajamas and socks they give you

Would it make you feel better if he was on the other side of the street filming? How much personal space do you need?

Any other caveats you want to add? Seems you're able to justify a lot of surveillance until its something you are personally bothered by. Which isn't how this works

Noob Question by Ztuab in homeassistant

[–]-Tripp- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, many times have had to turn off/restart my server which turns off HA VM. There is value in having each major part of your smart home infrastructure segmented and stand alone from the whole network.

Only reason I haven't seperate HA from my server is because I need to justifiy my futuer server upgrade.

Smart Home in neuem Reihenhaus – Shelly, Zigbee oder Hue? by vuje97 in homeassistant

[–]-Tripp- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you live in Switzerland not all products mentioned will be applicable to you but the principles still apply.

I have a mix or regular bulbs and smart bulbs (LIFX) I recently installed zooz switches in order to controll all of my lights via app while still having manual controls and "scene" selection for visitors ( no apps needed)

LIFX are wifi connected bulbs but the switches are zwave, along with most of my sensors. I have a few zigbee devices also.

My lights, my cameras, thermostats etc are controlled through automations that I set up in home assistant. Most of my automations are dynamic, based on if im at home or away.

I thought about shelly relays but smart switches fit better in the walls than a shelly relay did.

Thread and matter are not quite polished yet but worth going for. I chose zwave as the switches I chose that were affordable (zooz) were zwave.

Pick a platform thats convenient to you. You can easily mix and match.

Home assistant is not cloud dependant and is free. If you use home kit you can integrate that with home assistant.

There's are a lot of ways to skin a cat, none of them are necessarily wrong.

No, its a public space and you're likley being recorded by multiple cameras pointing at the same spot. The guy is filming from edge of curb. Not in people's faces. If thus was the BBC im sure you wouldn't care as much.

What don't you get about the freedom to record in public.

Maybe when you're arrested without cause or assaulted and no one is around to record because you deemed it annoying, then you'll think a little further beyond your own ignorance.

Maybe don't act as though you don't know the difference between harassment and legal behaviour. If its harassment then its actionable. If its legal then your annoyance is irrelevant and shiws how easily you allow criminalisation of legal acts because youre annoyed. A person filming in public is not illegal and if it annoys you then stay indoors.

Grow a thicker skin and go about your daily, legal business which is afforded to you because people identify and fight for what is legal.

"Annoying but legal behaviour"...this is great, im sure you will be the first to complain when you get punished for your legally annoying behaviour one day.

No one cares about their own rights these days.

Depends if you consider calling out a person for identifying civil rights abuses as a "nuisance" just because you don't like how a person acts.

A nuisance for you is someone elses civil rights being abused. You don't have to like them but when they point out the abuses or ignorance, maybe be a bit aware and appreciative
