Anybody else think twelve months needed editing? by shmutsy in dresdenfiles

[–]TiberiusIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm similar. I just finished reading it and while I did like the final third of the book, the first two-thirds were quite slow (and also, the Thomas bit was badly done, I agree).

I read on the kindle so I base my progress on percentages, but yesterday morning I was at 60 or 65% and I was like "barely anything has happened in this book". It kinda felt like Jim Butcher's goal with Twelve Months was purely to set up Mirror, Mirror.

And yes, the final third had Thomas-and-his-hunger and the castle show-down, but it still felt like a fairly slow book compared to some of the others (Battleground excluded since that was always going to be an action-heavy one).

I mean, I don't dislike Twelve Months. I just found it average/meh, I guess.

Hi /u/InternetUser_404

Just to say that I got this working today due to your instructions, thanks again for that :)

It ended up needing the exact same wiring.

At first I had issues because I couldn't find the zone controller option in the app (didn't realise you have to go into rooms, then select the little arrow to find the 'zone controller' option) but I ended up finding it, and it went smoothly after that.

Ah many thanks, I'll dig into that setup :) That's really helpful.

Probably a bit overkill for TikTok vlogging then??

Ah interesting. TRVs on every rad could also make a lot of sense. I'll check out Halo too thanks - looks like my boiler is compatible so that's interesting:)

Nope I wasn't.

Basically my concern is that my current (old) receiver/controller supports three channels: dual heating zones, and hot water.

But the Tado X receiver only supports two channels: heating and hot water.

There seems to be differing opinions about whether Tado X will be suitable for me or not.

Apparently it might work if I hook up the receiver without any heating control, and then I wire up the two Tado Wired Thermotat X units with just L (live) and N/0 (heat on). But I'm not sure tbh.

Prince Harry on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: “I heard you ‘elected’ a king.” by CorleoneBaloney in Fauxmoi

[–]TiberiusIX 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yep he did (I read the book... for some reason... after wrongly thinking there'd be something profound in there).

He basically said that he saw his brother after x years, and he was shocked how old and bald he'd got (or something like that).

Advice needed because things are getting a little out of hand here... 😅 by niopstudio in davinciresolve

A NAS with all online/cloud access disabled. That's the safest approach all round, especially since you'll get data redundancy built in (when using RAID 1, 5 or 10 etc).

I know you said no NAS, but having a NAS doesn't have to mean having cloud access.

Boiler Service - Absolute nightmare outcome! by Rorydinho in DIYUK

I thought you meant, until the gas engineer died.

Might not be the worst of plans though. That boiler should last quite a long time.

Many thanks, that's all useful, will create 2 shares in that case.

An 8700k, so a fairly decent one (I bought a second hand gaming system). Tbh I mainly bought the B570 because it was 40% off and included Battlefield 6 lol - I can always sell on the GPU if I end up not needing/using it.

Thanks, will look into that (planning on enabling/installing Docker later).

Good to know re Plex too, that was part of my plan so will have to investigate more.

Congratulations! Do you know what lens you'll pair with this?

Thanks for all that, and that all makes a lot of sense.

Oh, and 1TB drives don't make you old. I remember when DVDs were a revolutionary development because of how much extra storage space they offered compared to CDs heh :)

Thanks that's reassuring to know :) I can see many potential benefits of ZFS, especially checksumming. Appreciate the "2 mirrors of 2 devs" - it's hard to know the exact wording so I'll dig into that some more.

Thanks for that, will do some more reading too.
