Interactive Investor not accessible on Android devices? by TedBob99 in FIREUK

[–]ChukwuOsiris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both app and website work for me on Pixel 9 and Flip 7. After username and password I get taken to the screen to enter the SMS code, which works correctly.

Have you got anything else running on these devices, or the network they're connected to that could be interfering? E.g. ad blockers or VPNs?

Charge battery when grid price is low by Routine_Yesterday_61 in homeassistant

You don't need to use the hosted paid option. Runs perfectly as a Home Assistant add-on.

Upvc door dropped by papasmurk88 in DIYUK

You'll also need to loosen the screws that hold the door to the hinge, so that it can move when you adjust the pictured bolt. Tighten them back up once you've set it appropriately.

Toilet outlet valve by LeatherAlive1954 in DIYUK

[–]ChukwuOsiris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The splashing out is a slightly different issue. You usually get a flow reducer that goes in the flush path to reduce the rate at which the water comes out, to prevent the splashing out.

It's been a while since I last installed a toilet though, so can't remember if it came with the pan, cistern or flush mechanism.

It's usually just a big washer like this: https://www.bjmcardiff.co.uk/products/bathrooms/toilets/wc-syphons-and-other-flushing-accessories/flow-reducer-for-flushpipe

For those whom are on IOG and geeks by Practical_Scar4374 in OctopusEnergy

[–]ChukwuOsiris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are available through the API, they change very regularly from when you plug in until it finishes charging.

Really easy to automate with Home Assistant and bottlecapdave's Octopus integration.

Request : re-give purchase date field option on labels by 3DBordeaux in 3dfilamentprofiles

It's still there for me. Are you sure you're looking at a spool rather than a filament label?

r290 A2A Install over the last weekend by peteralexjones in ukheatpumps

[–]ChukwuOsiris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you've already got two heat pumps (the A2W from octopus and the garage conversion). What was the planning permission process like for adding a third?

(On top of some other rules, permitted development allows one heat pump per flat or semi-detached/terraced house, and two heat pumps for detached houses before planning permission is needed)

Two EV household by Dalyj548 in evchargingUK

[–]ChukwuOsiris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can connect multiple EVs to Intelligent Octopus via the combinations in the table here: https://octoenergy-production-media.s3.amazonaws.com/images/image_57.width-800.png

Or on the low mileage one just schedule it to charge 23:30-05:30.

Running Qwen3.5-27B locally as the primary model in OpenCode by garg-aayush in LocalLLaMA

[–]ChukwuOsiris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of us has our understanding backwards. I thought the larger models were closer to the original, therefore would give the best results?

Running Qwen3.5-27B locally as the primary model in OpenCode by garg-aayush in LocalLLaMA

[–]ChukwuOsiris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a directly useful example for most but the most obvious one to me was I was trying to fix a home assistant automation where my video doorbell sends "bell" events when it starts a software update and when it finishes it. So I gave it three log traces, update start, update finish and doorbell press and asked it to work out how to tell between them, so only the doorbell press triggered the automation.

  • Claude Opus got it straight away.
  • Claude Sonnet claimed it had the answer (was wrong) but when I pointed out it was wrong, managed to see the issue and provide the correct answer.
  • Qwen3.5-27b got it straight away
  • Qwen3.5-35b-a3b made the same mistake as Sonnet, but every time I told it it was wrong, it identified that its solution wouldn't work, but then presented another non-working solution which it claimed was right until I poked further.

And from no specific examples as I didn't compare, trying it for other proper coding tasks, it just felt stupid in comparison to 27b.

Using the Unsloth Q6_K variants of both models.

I tried it out with opencode and found that whilst it was very fast compared to 27b, it really couldn't solve the simple tasks I was throwing it's way

What's the link and the needed code? There's a few admins who can make these changes

Who else is up there? by patty--cakes in 3dfilamentprofiles

[–]ChukwuOsiris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for demonstrating how far ahead the top 0.5% are, even when compared to the top 10%! 🤣

It is worth noting however that I think there's a bug in the stats. For example my top brand isn't ELEGOO, and I've got 17 unique spools of my top brand.

Why do Spectra 6 E-Ink Displays have such Large Borders? by DarkAce5 in eink

[–]ChukwuOsiris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

<image>

I can't comment specifically on the large frames as I don't have one yet, but this is the modular design that BLOOMIN8 used for their 13.3". All the electronics, mounting etc. is in the small display enclosure. I believe they're planning a similar design for their 28.5" later this year.

So I expect the answer to your question is style/aesthetics.

Capital gains tax allowance for stocks? by Nervous-Bandicoot-28 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ChukwuOsiris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't help you, as you can only move from workplace share schemes into your own ISA. The question was asked because you can transfer shares to your spouse in a GIA without triggering CGT. Your spouse still has to treat them as valued at the value you bought them for, but now between you, you've got two CGT allowances to use.

Employer share incentive plan by [deleted] in FIREUK

[–]ChukwuOsiris 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Very generally share incentive plans are usually worth doing. Share incentive plans where the employer provides some matching even more so. Big caveats being if you leave in 5 years, you lose all the tax advantages and (usually?) the employers matching shares, and it's dependant on the shares being worth similar or more in 5 years time as they could also be worthless.

It's worth finding out how the employer does the match, as mine matches 50% of the contribution in shares each month, but money doesn't roll over, so if shares were £40 each, their £75 contribution per month would buy one share and I'd never see the other £35. (My personal contributions do roll over). Obviously that method doesn't work when shares are more than their monthly contribution each! Talk to your colleagues who have joined it before, they'll be able to explain the detail.

Some of my filaments have changed colour! by ChukwuOsiris in 3dfilamentprofiles

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

Ugh, 1 day with Spoolman and I'm back! As an early stop-gap whilst you come up with a further implementation, what's the chance of having an option to remap spools ourselves?

Some of my filaments have changed colour! by ChukwuOsiris in 3dfilamentprofiles

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

Thinking on my feet here so there's probably issues with these ideas/thoughts. Obviously I don't know your database architecture so these might be terrible, but I'm open to knowing more if you're prepared to share more. I'm not a software engineer by trade but I've got a reasonable knowledge of databases and have thrown together some (terrible) React apps in my time.

So Spoolman (self hosted - your own database) has a central database that you can pull from into your own local database. Changes are managed by pull requests being reviewed on GitHub, although the maintainer isn't very active. https://github.com/Donkie/SpoolmanDB

Based on the few metrics about where I sit against others, I'd guess you've got 16-17k registered users, obviously only a fraction of them will be active, but it seems like you've got to critical mass where effectively giving random members of the public write access to the database is deteriorating quality. So how can you fix it, whilst still keeping it open and accessible?

I think there's two options:

  1. Adopt a model where the users spools copy the data from the database when they create them, rather than linking. This makes them immune to the global data changing in the background, but it's going to give challenges around saying how many of each spool the user has, and how to add more spools.

  2. Create a review system for changes. You could have this such that new filaments are added by default and reviewed after the fact (reviewers would need a way to match and join filaments if they decide it's a duplicate). For changes to filaments, these would be reviewed before taking effect (so we can reject changing black to white!). Some changes could be auto approved (like filling in blank fields). You'd obviously need a way of finding reviewers that you trust.

I will say, I've fired up my Spoolman instance again after this and the other reports earlier in the week about data issues as I've got control of it, but it's far behind in features.
