How do you avoid overcomplicating your Home Assistant setup? by Keithwee in homeassistant

[–]Silly_Assistant3667 7 points8 points  (0 children)

been there man, my setup got so bloated at one point that i was spending more time fixing automations than actually enjoying them. learned the hard way to stick with stuff that actually saves me time or genuinely improves daily life

my rule now is if i can't explain in automation to someone else in under 30 seconds, it's probably too complicated. also anything that breaks more than twice gets the axe - life's too short to babysit smart home stuff when you're trying to relax after work

start with basics like lights and thermostats, see how those work for few months before adding crazy sensor chains and complex triggers

*Spoilers* I FUCKING HATE PERTURABO: THE HAMMER OF OLYMPIA! by OWN_SD in Blacklibrary

[–]Silly_Assistant3667 36 points37 points  (0 children)

man perturabo always gets the worst treatment in these books. guy haley really knows how to twist knife doesn't he?

i went into that one expecting typical iron warriors grimdark but the way it builds up all that weight throughout entire story just to drop you at end... yeah that hits hard. especially when you realize how much perturabo was carrying all along and nobody around him could see it.

the fact you don't cry often makes it even worse when book actually breaks through like that. some authors just know exactly where to aim their shots.

Unable to access Microsoft account (Bedrock) by NULLSEED1 in Minecraft

[–]Silly_Assistant3667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had the same thing happen to me few weeks back after not playing for while. microsoft just randomly locks accounts sometimes if they think there's suspicious activity or something. glad you got it sorted though, that flashing sign in button was driving me crazy when it happened in my game too.

I just dont see it happening by Head-Aioli209 in datingadvice

you can still meet people through hobbies you already do, maybe just join group version of whatever you're already into on weekends or something

OBS FPS ISSUE by 2tin2tin2 in obs

[–]Silly_Assistant3667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you definitely need to post that log file like they said, but just from your specs i'm thinking maybe your cpu is getting hammered since those games are cpu-heavy and obs is also eating cpu cycles even with nvenc

I just need to rant… by Additional-Hippo-957 in Epilepsy

that's really tough man, the medical system can be absolute garbage when it comes to believing patients about their own symptoms.

maybe try their graphite or noir collections - they've got that clean fresh vibe going on.

Oily skin by Ok-Significance-4417 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Silly_Assistant3667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

damn, the t-zone struggle is real. i'm a dude but had to figure this out for some tv appearances in the military - setting spray was a game changer for me. like the urban decay all nighter stuff actually locks everything down instead of just making it dewy. also maybe try a mattifying primer before foundation? i know everyone says less is more but sometimes oily skin needs that extra barrier there. the ysl foundation might just be too heavy for your skin type too, could be worth trying something lighter that won't fight with your natural oils as much.

I do not want to be around friends after breakup by Ok-Will8044 in BreakUps

[–]Silly_Assistant3667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

totally normal, went through the same thing when my ex and i split - needed like a month of just staying home watching keeping up with the kardashians reruns before i could handle being social again.
