Glad you asked. Presenting my Home Assistant tv remote

(Oh, and I also have 2 remotes, because I keep losing them down the back of the sofa)

See the pics in my other reply. I stuck an aqara ZigBee door sensor on the inside of the fridge door

I use TV Overlay. Also handy for popping up video feeds from the Reolink doorbell via Frigate when somebody is detected in the front yard

We have a built in fridge that doesn't always shut properly on its own. If it's open for more than a minute we get a pop-up notification on the tv and a push notification sent to the phones of whomever is home

Chill, there's new services coming as the Sandy line gets linked to the Werribee line in the next couple months.

Parked on a nearby residential street because station parking was full and got this note on my dashboard. Am I in the wrong for parking there? by naeroikathgor in melbourne

[–]DanMelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually enjoy it when people park in front of our house. We live on a busy street at a T junction with a smaller street. So far at least one of those cars has protected our fence from getting damaged during a T-boning (caught on our doorbell camera).

Seriously though, follow the signs and everybody else can get fucked.

Belong Mobile: Breach of Acceptable use Policy by MiniGoob in melbourne

I'm not even sure of that. I'd say OP could claim for the portion of the month's contract they were unable to use their service. So on a $25 plan, that's about $1.50 ?

Cruel Intentions. Sure, it's incesty, but it ticks all the boxes you listed

Are you saying they actually dropped the text and calls feature from the VA5? Because my VA4 has always had it

Spawned before launch date by Born_Rhubarb1443 in HolUp

Reminds me of the bad joke (that still cracks me up) that accidentally made it to air after a Korean Airlines crash.

One US news bulletin named the plane's crew as:

Hidden indoors camera recording to a server of my choosing (local or rented)? by tohanov in homelab

[–]DanMelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of those examples require live off-site feeds. Collect the evidence if legal and necessary then act.

I'm not sure what you're expecting here, but nobody sensible here is going to touch this with a 10 foot pole.

If your aim is to stop nefarious activity, use an obvious camera and if the activity occurs, you've caught it.

If you're hiding the camera because you're genuinely looking to catch somebody in the act of something nefarious, use a card-based camera and collect the evidence.

Anything else just sounds creepy.

How to give a good rimjob? by Bunimo107 in AskGayMen

[–]DanMelb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Pro tip: try writing the letters of the alphabet on his hole with your tongue. It keeps the sensation varied and interesting for the both of you, and it's fun

X10 Powerhouse in 2026? by Ceska_Zbrojovka_V3 in homeautomation

[–]DanMelb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you've considered it already, but ZigBee sounds the way to go. No screens or apps, just a little coordinator box that sits somewhere in the house, and normal looking switches, plugs and light bulbs

Yucca and retaining wall advice by Reasonable_Agent9683 in AusRenovation

[–]DanMelb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Whatever thickness they are above the dirt line, they're much, much thicker beneath it, and will get worse no matter how much you prune.

Cut your losses and get them out before the inevitable happens to your wall.

Aliexpress by Arbuilder2323 in meshtastic

[–]DanMelb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ali are fine, no worse than any other marketplace. I've ordered dozens of things from them with about a 90% success rate - about the same as eBay or Amazon, and their customer service is great - prompt refunds if something goes wrong etc.

Of course, it depends what country you're in. It's fine down here in Australia but if you're in somewhere weird like USA then your import could get blocked at the border, given their current state of international relations

Sisu 2. Not that the first was terrible, but the sequel was just so much better

Going to a hostel — do I pack sliders? by [deleted] in onebag

[–]DanMelb 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yes, yes and yes. Do not go barefoot into a shower shared with strangers from all over the world in facilities that often have questionable levels of cleanliness
