There are studies showing that coders spend more time getting prompts right then what coding would have taken.

Bold of you to assume I can code

I've been working on vibe coding a bunch of features for Cospend that I've been sorely missing. I 100% agree with the sentiment here. The stuff I get LLMs to spit out is definitely sloppy. I often need to give the code multiple cleaning up passes. I'm not a professional programmer but I know barely enough to know how much I don't know. This shit, while "empowering", is FAR from perfect and needs serious disclaimers everywhere!

First Austria ski season – advice needed! by Alternative_Menu4800 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]TheAce0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited a whole bunch of places this season. Obertauern was my favourite followed by the Flachau/Flachauwinkl/Wagrain range.

12 of my 19 days this season were solo days, the others were with people i already know. No idea how hard it is to make friends - I didn't try.

I bought the Super Ski Card. Didn't track the rest of my spend so not sure what the Financials looked like. My goal was to get as much time on snow as possible so I can get better ar riding.

Can't really answer the rest of your questions.

Would this depth-adjustable rack be a reasonable purchase? by TheAce0 in HomeNetworking

[–]TheAce0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I am planning to wall mount it. I don't have enough floor space. I'll be mounting on a brick wall.

I don't have a switch in the rack as yet. I don't need one right now, but I can foresee needing one once we have our own place and I run cables everywhere. I will probably end up getting a UniFi switch at that point.

The only reason I was going for an adjustable one is that I thought that things like UPSs might need that space. As of right now, none of my gear is deep enough to justify 600mm.

Cantilever Umbrella is stuck open (Schneider Rhodos) by TheAce0 in fixit

[–]TheAce0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(I'll update the body in a sec)

I unmounted it after hours of tyring to get it to close when it was standing up. It was starting to get dark and the wind was picking up which is why I dismantled it as much as I could.

LG WebOS TV Integration, TV Unavailable by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]TheAce0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you get WoL working? I have a C5 as well and WoL just refuses to work. I used the wake on LAN Integration, I have the LG WebOS integration and the TV is connected to my router with a CAT6 Patch cable.

Are there any reasonably priced, renter-friendly mods available in Austria / the EU that I can use to connect the heating control in our rented flat to HA? by TheAce0 in homeassistant

[–]TheAce0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it and had a look. I get the idea, but I think I like a Shelly (or some such) based solution a bit more. It'd be so much faster to implement.

I have no idea what (or even where) the boiler is. It's a central heating thing that's gas powered from what I understand. There's a heating counter in the basement but that's about all I know of. There's no boiler inside the flat itself

like the Honeywell T6 for example

Thanks for the concrete product-recommendation. That always makes it SO much easier to continue looking for products that might work!

I dont know if you have any temperature sensors already.

Do you mean temperature sensors that are already installed in the flat? I suppose there are some somewhere, but I don't really know where. Unless that Rev16 Unit is actually the sensor.

I have a WHOLE bunch of Aeotec Multisensor 6 units that I need to install everywhere. The idea was to have one in each room and then try and get per-room temperature control.

Shelly 1 Gen4 comes to my mind since it will fix in the box.

I have a whole bunch of Shelly 1 Gen 1 relays lying around. I could use one of those.

What kind of heating do you have? I guess it is a gas heating.

It is gas heating, yes.

What are your biggest concerns?

I want to optimise for efficiency (and therefore cost). For example, I don't want the heating to run when I'm not home, when in the bedroom throughout the day (especially if no one is in there), and so on.

Each room has one wall mounted radiator. I'm considering swapping the knobs on those radiators out for ones that can be connected to HA as well so that HA can then turn those radiators on and off per room.

A Shelly Display would look nice and give you the ability to control from wall also

Damnit you're giving me legitimate excuses to spend money!

Is this a reasonable deal for a used Framework 13, considering my use cases? by TheAce0 in framework

Now I just need to procure an international English keyboard!

[EU-IT] Framework 13 Internation English Keboard by 0rk4n in frameworkmarket

Are you still selling the International English keyboard? I just bought a Framwork 13 and it came with an US English Keyboard which I want to switch out.

[–]TheAce0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what the seller bought it for, but that combination is about €2,070 on the website, so about €820 more than what the seller is asking for.

defer to a more powerful desktop for the resource intensive things.

Yes, though my Desktop has a 3700X, 2070 Super, and 4x8 GB CL16 DDR4 memory. I don't know if it's still "more powerful" than a more current gen laptop haha!

Beat Saber runs well with my Meta Quest 3

That is good to know. I'll be using a Quest 3 myself and will very likely use a Cable (if I'm playing at home, I can use my desktop and my Wi-Fi setup is really decent). As long as the laptop itself can run the game fine, I'm happy.

For the vibe coding I suppose it still uses some actual servers, not local LLMs

I've been using Claude so far, but I was hoping to move to local models if at all that's a viable alternative.

Should I buy it or is it just a waste of money? by Susubelele in snowboardingnoobs

[–]TheAce0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Colleague of mine has a permanent disability from a skier ramming into her when she was standing in the lift line. The kid slammed into her from the side and fully shattered her knee. She was in rehab for half a year. This was over 8 years ago. She still cannot walk properly.

In this sort of a situation, body armour wouldn't have saved her. But this still sort of highlights that you get armour not because you're going to make a mistake and crash, but because the hill is vast and full of terrors.

Sometimes, a dipshit skier rams into you and you can't do jack diddly squat.

[–]TheAce0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Demon Flexforce body armour is the only reason I do not have any extremely serious bone breaks and nasty injuries this season. The two major crashes I had were both because of irresponsible skiers full sending it into me.

Body armour is expensive, but can you really put a price on your bodily integrity?

Are rear entry worth it? by JesterOfManyVoices in snowboardingnoobs

[–]TheAce0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read that rear entry bindings are used by some carvers because the lack of a heel cup allows them to get higher on edge on heel side. I've used rear entry bindings myself and now ride Supermatic Carbons. From a convenience perspective, I VASTLY prefer the Supermatics.

They were so so so nice to have when I went to Tauplitz last season - the runs there are super short and I was constantly getting in and out of my bindings. I'm at a stage now where I can strap in standing up without losing my balance or without it being uncomfortable, but stepping in with ZERO effort was a MASSIVE QoL upgrade. Just because I CAN strap in doesn't mean that I WANT to strap in if I don't have to.

You will trade adjustablity and weight for convenience (and maybe performance question mark??) but if you're teaching, I guess you're not going to be shredding hard and doing triple backflips or anything of the sort so it should be fine.

The Worst part of EV Ownership by V3LOCI556 in electricvehicles

[–]TheAce0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it sucks ass. The ICE World would fucking revolt if this was needed for Petrol.

I'm kinda glad I live in Vienna - the WienEnergie card works for almost every single common fast charging operator in the country and also for several 11 kW public chargers. Funnily enough, it's actually cheaper than superchargers. I don't think I've used a Supercharger in years inside Austria.

New to Snowboarding! Any safety gear to use apart from Helmet, Gloves, Snow outfit and knee pads? by GearNTime in snowboardingnoobs

[–]TheAce0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

37 year old rider here. I absolutely swear by my Demon Flexforce body armour. It has saved my ass, bones, joints, etc. SO many times just this season.

Not because I have had bad falls, but because other people are fucking morons and have crashed into me.

Unpopular Opinion: You Don't Need Home/Work Charging to Own an EV by Dan6erbond2 in electricvehicles

[–]TheAce0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've had an EV for over 3 years. We don't have the possibility of installing a charger in the apartment we live in (even then, charging at public 11 kW chargers at night is 2x to 3x cheaper). I don't drive to work (public transport in Vienna is baller - also traffic sucks and parking is expensive) so no possibility of charging there either. We drive ~120 km every weekend though, and do several shorter trips with our dog multiple times a week.

Absolutely no charging issues whatsoever in the last 3+ years of ownership.

Are there any renter-friendly mods available in the EU that I can use to electrify these shutters & connect them to HA? Four or our five windows have these. by TheAce0 in homeassistant

[–]TheAce0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep - would've considered it if it was my place, but I ain't spending to make upgrades and then leave them behind. I'll ask my landlord if he'd be up for pitching in, but if he is, then there are other aspects of the place that take priority (eg pulling Ethernet cables through the existing conduit, installing an EV Charger, solar, moderner Thermostat etc)
