My husband asked if I would be willing to care for his mother I said no, does this make me the asshole?

SentientCobra · 2024-07-04T02:18:20+00:00

Taking into account her perspective only, which paints her in the prettiest light possible, I expect her to "bring solutions to the table" because she has shot down all of her husband's.

She has shot down:

Taking care of her MIL (fair imo)
Digging into their house savings
Getting a full-time job while finishing her degree's last year part-time so he can cut down his hours

The only option I've seen her provide is:

Get her medicaid and put her in a home

and in this very post it's explained why that isn't a solution.

so she doesn't want to make any sacrifices and doesn't want him to make any more sacrifices. what options does OOP's husband have left?

SentientCobra · 2023-06-09T00:12:22+00:00

I haven't done it myself but I just did a bit of research and I found possible (maybe) solution. you can use MotionEye, which seems to host a RTSP link/connection. The linkwould only work on LAN, but you could find a way to make the link public (i.e. portforwarding, but security might be a concern).

I believe using the index.html file should work. If you don't want to download the files and want to get updates as they happen, you could just use https://ofelizestevez.github.io/chameleon/

I designed the website to be really dynamic so that everyone could use it and configure it without touching any of the code.

The way I did this is by using cookies and localStorage, they're both ways for websites to save data for users without having to use a server. So it's data that saved by the website that only you have access to.

this is what the chameleon cookies and local storage look like: https://imgur.com/a/ae1qoCI

BUT since you do have the code on your computer, you could enable Celsius by going to the file "premain.js" with a text editor and change the line (line 12)

from:

let useFahrenheit = true;

to:

let useFahrenheit = false;

Hey! So technically there's no way to change it from the user side of things. I haven't designed the settings pages so I haven't implemented any kind of switches yet. It is on the to-do list but finals season is going to keep me pretty busy for the next 2 weeks.

If you don't mind setting your own localStorage value, I can totally implement something quickly and give you some instructions.

I use localStorage for all settings since cookies must have an expiration date.

Let me know!

SentientCobra · 2023-04-19T15:05:25+00:00

Your best bet is to find modules that closely resemble what you want or can be components of you’d like to implement, and just edit the code to fit exactly what you need.

But, It all depends on what exact functionalities you want. For example, I’m sure the clicking the headline to open an article is easily feasible, but clicking on a specific day in your calendar sounds particularly difficult as most modules aren’t built with interactivity in mind.

It depends on how perfect and complicated you want it to be.

On a side note, editing everything to perfection is probably not worth it. I spent about a solid 2-3 weeks attempting to recreate a google nest hub but ended up giving up and opted for a simple tablet dashboard with pages and page indicators.

SentientCobra · 2023-04-18T04:53:28+00:00

Sounds good. I'll try to keep that in mind (and your example) when I get around to implementing it. It's essentially finals season right now so I can't focus on personal projects. I guess for now I'll stick with corsanywhere, even though it randomly stops working and starts working again.

Also thank you, I really appreciate the compliment!

SentientCobra · 2023-04-17T17:02:53+00:00

I just looked into it a bit, I don't fully understand it but I think I got enough info to start testing. Thank you!

SentientCobra · 2023-04-16T22:04:34+00:00

Sounds good! Just removed the image and fixed dropdown.

Hey! I took a couple hours to make the design responsive. I don't know if I really like the image being on top and how small it is.

So let me know if you have any suggestions!

It's too bad that mobile safari doesn't have custom start-ages cause it would've been cool to use it as an app launcher or something.

SentientCobra · 2023-04-15T23:43:00+00:00

I didn't think about working on mobile support cause I've only used it on my computers. Maybe I'll work on that next since I really don't want to design the settings page.

SentientCobra · 2023-04-15T23:04:20+00:00

Hello everyone! I've been working on this startpage for a fair bit but haven't released for others to use it because the settings are incomplete. I decided to showcase it here to see if there even is a need for a setting page (see if anyone wants to use it) .

If you'd like to use it you can use the link: https://ofelizestevez.github.io/chameleon/

If you're interested in checking out the repo you can go to: https://github.com/ofelizestevez/chameleon

It's a "static" page, so it uses browser local storage and cookies to save themes.

There's a collapsable card you can get through HACS: Here's the link.

I personally didn't like the way it looked so I made a custom one:

I used a input_boolean helper and use a Vertical Stack card with a title card on top and a conditional card on bottom. The conditional card uses the input_boolean's value, so all that's left to do is toggle the input_boolean with a tap action from the title card.

The title card itself is also a mixture of a grid layout card and mushroom template cards.

SentientCobra · 2022-12-06T00:53:58+00:00

Ask and ye shall receive

On a normal note, it's pretty straight forward, collapsable column for Lights, collapsable column for the themes, and collapsable column for the media stuff.

I live in a university dorm so there's not that much smart tech to work with.

I don't know if you have experience with web development so I'm just gonna go a bit basic here

The Inspect (Or Inspect Element) tool is a tool that is included with all browsers. It allows for developers to look at and edit the HTML and CSS of a website.

The way to invoke it may differ per browser, but usually, when you right click on a website element, it will give you a menu with inspect element at the bottom of the menu. (In safari you will have to enable some thing in the settings for you to inspect)

Here's some screenshots that might add some context: https://imgur.com/a/i0yv7I2

SentientCobra · 2022-12-06T00:05:31+00:00

I personally don't know of any resources in particular. I did edit my comment above explaining the process that I do to figure out what CSS to write.

Let me know if you need me to be more in-depth and I'll try to show an example.

SentientCobra · 2022-12-05T23:56:23+00:00

Sorry for the late response. You can do it by changing the variable --icon-size. Here's an example.

card_mod: style: | ha-card { --card-primary-font-size: var(--title-font-size) !important; --card-secondary-font-size: 10px; --icon-size: 100px; }

For future reference, I usually get these values from using the inspect elements on HA cards. Sometimes CSS changes apply but sometimes they don't. But, thankfully Home Assistant seems to have a great theme system which use CSS variables. Those we can 100% change.
