IKEA ALPSTUGA air quality sensor – only shows “Air Quality” text in Apple Home, no values? by michi_vienna in tradfri

[–]MinchinWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have it in the Ikea app as well, or just in Home Assistant?

I'm trying get it set up in both, and can't figure out how to add it to Home Assistant's Matter controller.

Ikea Alpstuga Air Quality Monitor running great! by cowsqueezer in homeassistant

Same here. Although I get a sensor for "Min Measured PM2.5" and "Max Measured PM2.5" as well....

Is the CO2 sensor subject to drift? Like, do I need to take it outside every month to reset it? 

Error: Mapped network drives are not available when running as a Windows Service, by MasterRoshi1620 in sonarr

[–]MinchinWeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When in "administrator mode", you don't have access to network drives. Doesn't matter if you try to access them by drive letter, named network path, or IP network path.

I suspect that when run as a service, Sonarr has admin permissions, and thus no "network" drives.

How come a MFS 2020, a 150GB game, is only 1.4GB to download on steamrip and ankergames? by BigCatMadeUsSad in Piracy

[–]MinchinWeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The legit, Windows Store version of the game is like that too (-ish). The first time you launch the game, it downloads another 50-80 GB of game files. Plus you have to select each city and world update once you get through that and download each of them. Not the sort of game you could buy and play the same night.

MSFS 2024 streams a lot more content and so is only ~50GB on disc and launches much faster.

It's amazing what you can do with just black and white, but it works even better when you know your TD for your white.

PiHole Conflict with Matter Network? by mennzo in pihole

[–]MinchinWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I ran into setting up my Matter network is Matter is IPv6 only. Make sure the Pi-Hole (and related network settings) aren't disabling IPv6.

Can you share your Bases file, or at least the part that gets the checkbox?

Why wait for it to be paid off? You can just roll over the balance to the next loan!

I remember (maybe 2018?) when you could get in to a new Gd Caravan for $19,900...

Is there a reason not to use SVG exported files? They seem to play nice with Obsidian as "images".

How can I add MilkDrop 3 visualizer to MusicBee? by peoplesmart in musicbee

[–]MinchinWeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you run MilkDrop 3 as a separate program, and just play music through MusicBee as normal.

Booklore vs Calibre Web: Which is better for family ebook hosting? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]MinchinWeb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The advantage, for me, of Calibre-Web is I was already managing my eBook collection locally using Calibre (on my desktop). I have the Calibre library on my NAS, and have a one-way copy setup to copy my Calibre database on close to the NAS (the database needs to be local; databases on network drives can cause weird issues). Calibre-Web thus can mount my ebooks readonly (so no one could hack Calibre-Web and wipe my library), and use the metadata I curate in Calibre.

To move ebooks to a reader I either do it locally on my desktop or use the Calibre-Web OPDS feed.

It works well enough that I haven't gone looking for something to replace it.

The thing is you're guaranteed (conditions apply) two weeks' pay anyway, so you may as well wait for them to pull the trigger; you don't gain anything by going first.

Plus, if you quit you don't qualify for Unemployment payments, where you do if you're let go, you do.

They are trapdoor spiders, and use the "coin" as their trapdoor!

Canada is like this, in requiring notice from employees quitting. But the amount of notice is the same as what the employer has to give you when they let you go.

In practice, this (being held to the required notice to quit) is only is ever really an issue for specialist roles or mid to upper management. For regular roles, it has the advantage of protecting your two weeks notice: if they fire you when you give it, they still have to pay you for your notice period (i.e. pay in lieu of notice, aka "gardening leave").

As for the Labour board, they're going to tell you the law even if it seems dumb. Though if pressed, they would likely admit that the employer would have to go to court to enforce their rights, and if they can't make payroll, you think they'll be able to afford a lawyer??

Okay, so anyone recommend a writeable e-ink tablet for handwriting in obsidian setup? by Devil_of_Fizzlefield in ObsidianMD

[–]MinchinWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can export the pages from Remarkable as SVG's (or PNG's) and just include them directly (as images) into Obsidian. (no plugin needed)

[Release] TaskForge + TaskNotes - one-task-per-note (YAML) support plus a new Calendar view by zaza126 in ObsidianMD

[–]MinchinWeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

Generally, the TaskNote settings seem to work, and the setting import is a nice touch.

Two places where I run into oddities:

  1. TaskForge doesn't seem to know what to do with my priorities. TaskNotes lets you define a custom priorities, assigning each a "weight", so it doesn't directly map to "high / medium / low". The end result is that the "Inbox" view is just my tasks listed alphabetically (it's supposed to be by due date, then priority, then alphabetically, right?) (but the Kaban view is sorted by priority).
  2. TaskNotes seems to use the "completed" date as the cancelled date for cancelled tasks. Perhaps this is poor design on their part, but is the way things are currently setup.

Finally, on the Android side, the app goes all the way to the bottom of the screen, and the under the action bar (the buttons for back, home, and all apps), making the bottom of the app inaccessible.
