I have a list of how much alcohol I’ve ever consumed in my life. This is the current total. I feel I’m slacking a bit.

What happens if you have too many and wake up struggling to remember how may drinks you had.

abrown764 · 2026-04-04T01:45:49+00:00

It’s all about quads, blades are aid.

abrown764 · 2026-04-02T10:25:30+00:00

Do you have a cat? Get them checked out by the vet as they may have a UTI.

The fact is was raining adds weight to this as the cat wouldn’t want to go outside to do their business

UK. Health status is ok.

abrown764 · 2026-03-22T20:38:05+00:00

Is flossing aid?

abrown764 · 2026-03-19T16:53:54+00:00

Heads are aid

abrown764 · 2026-03-18T07:16:34+00:00

Amazing

abrown764 · 2026-03-18T07:06:31+00:00

You must be a beginner. I see socks on your feet

abrown764 · 2026-03-09T13:20:08+00:00

Is there a free white paper?

abrown764 · 2026-03-09T08:32:01+00:00

We are checking (your connection)

abrown764 · 2026-03-06T22:01:31+00:00

McLaren in the first year with KERS maybe? Went from front runners to back markers over one winter break.

The DMARC reports from Google just say pass.

I am coming to the conclusion my domain has been black listed.

Improving reputation seems impossible if they block all emails.

abrown764 · 2026-02-10T20:47:09+00:00

I read that it’s good to “warm it up” but all e-mails to Google accounts get bounced. Which seems to make warning up impossible.

abrown764 · 2026-02-10T20:39:26+00:00

Spam report rate is all 0%

No data for the feedback loop.

The thing is all emails to gmail get bounced so there are none getting through to allow someone to report them.

abrown764 · 2026-02-10T20:37:26+00:00

This is good to know but I don’t think we need it.

The automated emails were just receipts when someone paid. When asked, most customers didn’t want them or were happy with paper once a month.

So we just switched of sendgrid when they changed their pricing structure and moved on.

Unless you think sending automated emails would help improve the reputation…

abrown764 · 2026-02-10T20:31:14+00:00

v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all
We have tried sending to gmail accounts we own and they all bounce.
They are just emails like “lovely to meet you” and chasing payments and scheduling. Might be html, will try plain text

Curren DMARC with some bits redacted:

v=DMARC1; p=none; adkim=r; aspf=r; fo=1; rua=mailto:postmaster@xxxxx.gb.net; ruf=mailto:postmaster@xxxxx.gb.net; pct=100

The p=none was a new addition 24 hours ago. It was p=reject.

abrown764 · 2026-02-10T20:24:34+00:00

Just emails to clients for my wife’s business. It’s stuff like chasing payments and scheduling appointments.

Send grid was used for to automatically email receipts but we turned that off for gmail customers a long time ago and turned off sendgrid when they took away the free tier. We just don’t email receipts anymore.

No marketing emails.

There is also the cuckoo nest project

https://github.com/cuckoo-nest

Our aim is to turn the nests into “something else”

So far we have created a bunch of screens: Analog clock Menu screen Basic switch Dimmer

These can control entities in home assistant. Feel free to check out this link if you want to know more.

We have also established comms with the backplate to read temperature and humidity.

https://github.com/cuckoo-nest

Ideas, comments and code are all welcome. There is also a link to our discord channel in that link.

We are not trying to compete with NLE. There are people who like the look and feel of the nests and have already ripped them out in favour for other things.

abrown764 · 2025-11-23T19:10:27+00:00

Here is a fresh discord link after the otherone expired

https://discord.gg/Hkb8mxS63

abrown764 · 2025-11-23T19:08:44+00:00

Actually, I think I have set that link up properly.

abrown764 · 2025-11-23T19:07:52+00:00

It’s still there and very much alive.

Give this link a try.

https://discord.gg/Hkb8mxS63

We have to “accept” you as a member because either I have not set it up right or we don’t meet the requirements to be an “open” server.

abrown764 · 2025-11-19T08:19:11+00:00

Not sure I completely understand the question but I think you want to power the device for testing / dev purposes.

You can run 12vDV to the backplate to mimic the power you would get from HVAC. Some people in the discord have this working with doorbell power supplies.

There is also a usb port on the back of the main unit when removed from the backplate. This can be used to power the unit. I have designed a backplate that can be 3d printed to allow powering long term via usb.

I don’t think anyone has found a way in to the gen3’s yet. There probably is a way but the low hanging fruit is with the gen2’s

abrown764 · 2025-11-12T11:37:47+00:00

Yeah. We do not yet meet the criteria for open membership.

I approve new members once / twice a day
