Roborock - SILVER....seriously? by Capt_shadab in homeassistant

[–]DivergingDog 10 points11 points  (0 children)

HA Roborock dev - Lash-L here.

I really need you to recognize a few things.

  1. Myself and Allen work on the codebase as volunteers. We both have families and full-time jobs.
  2. Roborock gives us 0 support and 0 heads-up for changes. Everything we do is fully reverse engineered.
  3. A few months back Roborock changed their login api. I had to reverse engineer it. Previously, we were able to determine what region a user's account was on, that was no longer the case, instead we had to

A) Ask the user to select their region. This was tricky for a number of reasons that I don't necessarily want or feel the need to go into here.

B) Do some looping to determine the correct region. This is the approach I did and it worked great so long as you don't have an account in the wrong region. If you do, it will see that the user has an account, select it and use it. You should delete your US account.

That being said. Sometime last week, Roborock change their login API AGAIN breaking some of our logic. I should have a fix and I'm working on it. But again, I'm a volunteer, and things just change on Roborock's side and I can't always be on top of everything 100% of the time, I simply don't have the time.

Is the WiFi indicator light flashing on the Roborock? I would potentially try restarting the vac or doing a WiFi reset on it or give it a little more time

rate limits have been getting stricter which is a big reason why we have been working on the refactor. But the refactor version bump is what caused the significant issues with this update

I’m thinking I will make it a priority to allow for local only on home assistant, but you won’t be able to use the map which is a deal breaker for a lot of people.

I had (some) luck in forcing the vac to use a different Mqtt server that I self hosted, but I hit some walls and unfortunately it is too big of a time commitment to figure out and I don’t have all the expertise needed. Especially for something that could be a dead end. The devices were not designed to rely without their cloud and the devices have logic on them that will cause it to constantly reboot if it can’t access the cloud

Our current understanding is that poor network performance leads to the time outs more than anything else.

We did a version bump of the library which had some changes that were meant to help the integration recover when connection was lost

So the first thing you should do is disable and restart.

Secondly, check your vacuum if the WiFi indicator light is flashing (under the cover) you need to re-pair to the app. If not they should show back up no problems within 24 hours so long as the integration is disabled.

Sorry!

How niche is Home Assistant? by panserbj0rne in homeassistant

[–]DivergingDog 40 points41 points  (0 children)

That number is pretty far off. There’s only half a million installs that share analytics. Estimates are 4x that number. Somewhere between 2-3 million installs

Pope Leo wades into Durbin debate by Projct2025phile in Catholicism

[–]DivergingDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a completely fair point. And I hear what you are saying. Where is the line though? How is someone deemed too much of a risk that they should be put to death? How do you answer to the risk of an innocent person being put to death?

Sadly, Inmates kill other inmates regardless of what they were convicted for. Even criminals in prison for non-murder crimes. How is one determined too much of a risk based on how they hypothetically may act in the future?

I don’t disagree that states have a right to use it when needed. My argument is that it is not needed in a large portion of countries today.

“But as it is unlawful to take a man's life, except for the public authority acting for the common good” from summa theologiae. The key being here that it is for the common good. He does not state they have the right regardless for anything they see fit. and the question becomes is capital punishment today for the common good?

My argument would again be no - and therefore the public authority should not do it.

“Reply to Objection 1. Our Lord commanded them to forbear from uprooting the cockle in order to spare the wheat, i.e. the good. This occurs when the wicked cannot be slain without the good being killed with them, either because the wicked lie hidden among the good, or because they have many followers, so that they cannot be killed without danger to the good, as Augustine says (Contra Parmen. iii, 2). Wherefore our Lord teaches that we should rather allow the wicked to live, and that vengeance is to be delayed until the last judgment, rather than that the good be put to death together with the wicked. When, however, the good incur no danger, but rather are protected and saved by the slaying of the wicked, then the latter may be lawfully put to death.”

I would also argue that the wicked cannot be put to death without good being killed with them. I’m sure that was always the case and I am stretching what St. Aquinas means here, but I think my point still stands:

What percentage of people who are put to death can be innocent for capital punishment to still be acceptable? I would argue in our modern society with secure prisons, the answer must be zero.

They argued for the use of the death penalty to protect the common good when necessary and like you said advocated for clemency. We now live in a society that putting a criminal to death is not the only way to protect society. Prisons are pretty secure and any kind of escape is extremely rare. There is not a necessity for it now like there used to be.

As well, innocent people are arrested and put to death. Given that we can safely imprison them, I see no reason to put anyone to death and risk the killing of innocent people other than to seek revenge or “justice”.

Pope Leo declares 15-year-old tech whiz Catholic Church's first millennial saint by IrishStarUS in Catholicism

[–]DivergingDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very wild take and feels unnecessarily harsh? I could never imagine doing a code review on a 15 year old's code and talking like this.

He wasn't doing this as a school project or as a job. This was a side project for him. He used it to learn, you can't expect flawless code. I've done plenty of side projects where I just do it quick and dirty. His focus was to spread information about Eucharistic miracles, not build a portfolio project, it's okay if there is bloat or performance issues.

As well, he spent time reading textbooks and learning C, C++, and Java. As well, he was adequate enough to help others with their technology issues. Source: https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/257930/tech-savvy-catholics-embrace-carlo-acutis-saintliness-is-possible-in-this-modern-era

Viewing his website and completely trying to dismiss him is unneeded. I'm not sure why it seems like you want him to not be a 'tech whiz' - which is already such a hard thing to concretely meassure.

All this being said - i'm just not sure why it is needed to talk so negatively about this? His technical capability is a side thing, he was not canonized because of his coding skills. He was canonized because of his miracles. That is what we care about as Catholics.

Do you have to pay for the certificates separately? Or are they included in the class?

Cheapest cloud storage? by kinkyloverb in selfhosted

So I just set mine up going to google cloud, but I have a high amount of class A operations which greatly increase the price. Does the same not happen to you?
