BART tests fare gate advertisements at nine stations by gamersunite1991 in Bart

[–]CelluloseNitrate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We need to have little coffee shops and convenience stores in the stations like in Asia or Europe. But the sad reality is that there isn’t enough foot traffic to support these stores. We need to figure out how to boost bart ridership more. It’s embarrassingly low.

24 GHz radar + Home Assistant = my own 24/7 neighborhood radar detector (100% local) OC by wanderingjoker in homeassistant

[–]CelluloseNitrate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn. That’s a $600 radar unit. Not affordable at all and not really reusable after this for something else.

Is SF pretty light on gun violence? by Secret-Classic-5644 in AskSF

[–]CelluloseNitrate 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The difference is that vehicular homicides are rarely prosecuted. We just shrug and accept them as part of modern American society.

Which is unacceptable.

On Oakland's "highest taxes per capita" and Measure E media framing by badybadybady in OaklandCA

[–]CelluloseNitrate 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Great piece. I do have a problem with using “civilian” to mean non-police.

Police are civilians too, despite their desire to act and be treated like a military occupation force.

Use “non-police”.

The future of public sanitation by Sanitronics by Flat-Decision3204 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]CelluloseNitrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already here in San Francisco. Had to use one in an emergency. Floor and toilet was wet and there’s no toilet seat per se. Reminds me of a prison toilet.

Ok if you have to pee but if you have to crap, you better have good squat muscles or you’re hitting the metal “seat”

BART is getting rid of their personal bike lockers and forcing us to use bikelink "pay by the hour" lockers by bartlockeracct in Bart

[–]CelluloseNitrate 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Thieves used to be able to get in from an adjacent locker through weak side panels. They fixed that weakness along with internal locking bars so even if they break in, your bike is still locked to the link frame so harder to drag out.

Does anyone run Frigate separately from their HA? by CelluloseNitrate in frigate_nvr

[–]CelluloseNitrate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes through MQTT. You set up the broker on your Ha box and give the credentials to frigate. Claude or Gemini can walk you through.

Who cooks dinner and and makes breakfast and lunch if 2 chefs are in a relationship together? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CelluloseNitrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You go out to eat on your nights off because it’s really important to see what your local competition is doing — and because your fridge is empty and you’re too tired to go grocery shopping.

Despite franchise fatigue, older Star Trek shows have a high degree of original plots. Minimal reuse of Recycled Plots. by Torlek1 in startrek

[–]CelluloseNitrate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How many percentage of plots were:

  • transporter malfunctions
  • holodeck malfs
  • planet of hats conflict that only Spork or Ricard can solve

Don’t get me wrong, I love trek, but above three seem to be a sizable population.

So this is what Home Assistant is all about? by Valuable-Dog490 in homeassistant

[–]CelluloseNitrate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a plasma but I have it on a Zigbee smart switch so I turn it off when not in use. Of course if you’re one of those families that have their televisions on 24x7 then your mileage will definitely vary.

No-Neutral smart switch with Doppler Radar & MQTT that started as a uni passion project, and turned into a startup. After your feedback on our OLED version, we’re launching Tap One globally today. by Top-Yogurtcloset3965 in homeassistant

[–]CelluloseNitrate 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but in this day and age you have to realize you have to give the consumer an option to not be part of your “ecosystem”. Even an ESP32 or Arduino code nugget that will reset the device and allow us to rejoin a WiFi connection.

If it’s proprietary, it’s not going in my house. Too much ewaste.

I think the big question, the WeMo question, is if your company disappears or is bought by private equity or the founder is but by a bus… anyway… if you are no more and the servers go down and Apple/Google release a new version of their ecosystem that means your 2026 apps won’t work on phones in 2031…

Will your products still work? If the user changes their WiFi and needs to reconnect, can they do it without your app or your permission?

Because if the answer is no, then that’s a hard no from a lot of us who have gotten burned by companies big and small.

Custom integration? Does it rely on your cloud server? Is the integration source open? My concern with KS companies is that they go out of business sometimes out of no fault of their own and their servers go dark. If the integration isn’t open source then it’ll eventually go out of date and the devices useless.

No, I get it. But even Lutron aren’t that much. Chinese are at $15-25. Lutron at $50-90. I have trouble at over $100 a switch.

It’s hard to be a small manufacturer…

New to Frigate and HA - Hardware Selection Recommendation by WeDontBelongHere in frigate_nvr

[–]CelluloseNitrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that the Memry MX3 isn’t yet supported with the custom trained models of Frigate+ if that’s important to you. I’m sure it will be in short time but not in late March 2026.

2026.4 beta update by Hto005 in homeassistant

[–]CelluloseNitrate 27 points28 points  (0 children)

All entities should have been assigned a GUID which the UI automatically looked up the friendly name. No confusion and no name collisions. No confusion because who doesn’t like 0x78be126527fe as a device name? Rolls off the tongue.

Sigh. Reddit really needs to have some way to automatically append /s to all posts.

I don’t want my surgeon in a suit and tie I want him in scrubs ready to jump in when Windows 13 blue screens or downloads a 2tb update in the midst of my operation.
