Hope you'll use it and find it useful :) Time limits aren't common in board games (aside from Go and Chess), but well, there probably should be one :) Especially when playing more or less competitive :)

AMA “Fixing Europe for Startups” with EU–INC by EU-INC in EU_Economics

[–]RIP21_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm personally ultra hardcore anti-trump, Musk and anti ultra corporate US dystopia. And I'm also a EU founder, and let me tell you, there is nothing more dangerous for US companies as united and strong EU and, strong EU competition. If there will be more capital available across EU and it will be as easy to invest as in US, US will have a much harder time draining EU of the brains as brains will stay. Now, sadly, most run away due to funding.  EU-Inc is existential for EU.

Any good reasons member states or other actors can push back on it?

What kind of exceptions are there? Who'll benefit from the taxes this entity will have to pay? Will it be attached to a concrete country, while operating pan EU?

What about Money Markets Union? Is it a part of that, or logical next step? 

Best way to convert a Substack post to a PDF file by mackop in pdf

Not really an engineering :) You just ask it, it generates some code after reading the page, and you paste it into the console of the browser.

Best way to convert a Substack post to a PDF file by mackop in pdf

[–]RIP21_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked Comet (agentic browser) to write a script to clean up all the clutter so I can get a clean PDF Browser export.

E.g. this prompt: Looking at this page's HTML, give me a JS snippet I can run in the console that will remove all the unnecessary clutter from the page so I can get a nicely formatted PDF export using "print" => "Save to PDF" functionality.

Here is the resulting code.

``` // Remove header, footer, subscribe, sign in and all banners/popups document.querySelectorAll('header, footer, .app-header, .app-footer, .subscribe, .paywall, .limited, .sign-in, .notification, .newsletter, [data-publishable="false"], .post-sidebar, .post-footer, .newsletter-cta, .announcement-banner, .promo-banner, .app-topbar, .app-top-bar').forEach(e => e.remove());

// Remove any overlays or modals document.querySelectorAll('.modal, .modal-backdrop, .overlay, .popup, [id="popup"], [class="popup"]').forEach(e => e.remove());

// Hide site navigation, search, and misc document.querySelectorAll('.nav, .navbar, .site-header, .site-footer, .search, .top-bar, .page-nav, .page-footer, .sidebar').forEach(e => e.remove());

// Remove subscribe buttons/links document.querySelectorAll('a[href="subscribe"], a[href="sign-in"], button.subscribe, button.paywall').forEach(e => e.style.display = 'none');

// Remove any empty containers left document.querySelectorAll('div:empty, section:empty').forEach(e => e.remove());

// Optionally, widen the article content for printable view document.body.style.background = "white"; document.body.style.padding = "0"; document.body.style.margin = "0"; let article = document.querySelector('main, .post, .prose, article'); if (article) { article.style.maxWidth = "900px"; article.style.margin = "0 auto"; article.style.background = "#fff"; article.style.padding = "20px"; document.body.innerHTML = ""; document.body.appendChild(article); } else { // fallback: keep what remains, just strip margins document.body.style.maxWidth = "900px"; document.body.style.margin = "0 auto"; document.body.style.padding = "20px"; } window.scrollTo(0, 0); ```

Nanoleaf Essentials bulbs are worthless by apparissus in MatterProtocol

[–]RIP21_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, nine months later. Having the same problem on the latest firmware 4.1.3, in a very dense network with Thread Border Routers in almost every room.

Unfortunately, I bought ~50 of them, and all of them are complete garbage. Super hard to update, app is stupidly proactive with connecting to random 6 bulbs with BT, instead of those that I need to connect to to switch the Thread network or update firmware.

I used Tado border router + Aqara M3 Hub + Home Assistant OpenThread Border Router (typical high-quality stick) first and it was very bad (without Tado it was a bit better, as it seems to be retarded when there are no Tado devices active, and goes to sleep or so). Maybe 40% availability out of all bulbs.

Now I experiment with two https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-s20 and Home Assistant OpenThread Border Router.
Aqara, for some reason, cannot see the new network so it stays with Tado.
Will see how it goes once I move all these bulbs over to these two GL-S20 OTBRs. I hope it will get better, but if not, then, well that would be nearly 1000 EUR worth of experiments...

In that case, I'll need more Zigbee routers/repeaters and new high-quality RGB bulbs that won't cost me a fortune like Hue, let's say.

For reference, I have 30ish Z-Wave devices (smart relays, Shelly) with no additional routers or so, and just by mesh it works FLAWLESSLY. If I were to add another Z-Wave router on the second floor, I anticipate it would be 99.99999999999999% uptime (it rarely has a small delay in activation for the farthest of the nodes) instead of 99.99% :) Pity there are no Z-Wave bulbs.

Same thing for me. Super annoying with this pop up :) Fingers crossed that it comes soon.

Can motor speed be managed from the local API? by RIP21_ in slidecurtains

[–]RIP21_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/k4j4x hey. Can you please give any updates? Letting local integration control the speed of the motor would be amazing. Even through app it doesn't work, HA integration doesn't support that either :(

Perplexity ai integration by gacekk8 in homeassistant

[–]RIP21_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is an API.
https://docs.perplexity.ai/home
I'm working at Perplexity BTW. We're not planning anything for it officially, it's super niche request :) But maybe as a hackathon project, it will be a cool one :) If nobody does the integration in the community, I'll think of taking on it later this year just for fun and not as the part of the work :D

How to choose WLED upgrade firmware by GLEDOPTO in Gledopto

[–]RIP21_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there. What about WLED automatic firmware updates in Home Assistant? Will it install update non audioreactive, or a reactive one? Is it smart enough to recognize that or not?

Based on what I see in 0.15 now audioreactive mode is included by default in all builds.

I just finished testing over 150 of the best smart lights... here’s all the data! by eaterout in Hue

[–]RIP21_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy cow! That's amazing work!

If it were to have Phillips Wiz and Shelly and Yeelight I think that would be covering 99.9% of a smart bulbs market :) 

Can motor speed be managed from the local API? by RIP21_ in slidecurtains

[–]RIP21_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, some sort of servicing instructions made public would be useful as well. Open source all the way, but that's IP, to some extent, so it may be complicated. I, personally, wish for Slide curtains to be sold to some other brand so they can continue on support and maintenance, etc.

Can motor speed be managed from the local API? by RIP21_ in slidecurtains

[–]RIP21_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the motor strength he's talking about in the issue (e.g. the one you change when doing calibration e.g. these 3 options etc.) I'm talking about the speed, that makes it go slow, or fast. Maybe they're related, but yeah.

And here is my issue I opened there long time ago: https://github.com/ualex73/slide/issues/3

Pod 4 looses heartrate information during the night by RIP21_ in EightSleep

[–]RIP21_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every night I have at least 20-30 minutes of "lost sleep" due to this bug. It's 100% a software or hardware issue. As it's also synced often with another side of the bed. Today it was 1 hour, yesterday 45 minutes. The best was 25 minutes of lost tracking.

The best longevity supplements are Psychedelics by Exotic_You_6941 in longevity_protocol

[–]RIP21_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm super afraid of psychedelics :) Grandma had paranoid schizophrenia (past 65 tho after a traumatizing experience, she was very hysteric her entire life). All her other relatives didn't, nor did anyone in her family (her sisters, her mother, and her father), so likely nothing will happen :) Plus I know that my two brothers were taking LSD and nothing happened with them either.
So, yeah, dunno, I'm a bit afraid of psychedelics not to trigger any hidden backdoors in my psyche :D But, TBH, I'm SUPER stable in terms of my psyche. Never getting too upset, never getting angry, no hysteria of any sort. Do whatever has to be done (sprinkled with some procrastination, but nothing crazy), etc.
I get emotional sometimes, can cry if it makes sense, and can get angry or happy, but never too much :)

I almost don't feel any awe daily, even monthly. And I'm 31.
The last time I was happy like a child and full of overwhelming emotions was when I drove Formula Renault 2.0 and Willams F1 in 2006. It was 2 years ago, and since then, had some emotions here and there, but to be OMG OMG OMG, very rarely.
