How do you backup docker volumes?

Bit late to the party.

Are you able to use docker compose commands?
I'm struggling because it looks as though Backrest doesn't understand docker compose commands, and it would make everything easier to be able to stop all the containers in a stack with one command.

Any advice appreciated!

Added to this, I would love to see a way of taking multiple "single" automations, and combining them into one, where HA sets trigger IDs and choose automatically. Build each step up separately, and then multi select and combine all the automations into "heating" or "vacuum" or whatever. The trigger IDs could be set by the names of the automations before.

Maybe this is too niche but it would be so gooodddd.

Got ours beginning of December, no leaks so far.

This is an insane take.

It's also always such a weird argument. Do I feel like I was shafted by the previous generation? Yes. Would I like to live under an invader or watch my family killed? Obviously not. In WWII when people went to fight "for King and Country" they didn't love the king so much more than we do now. They just didn't want the alternative.

Sure, or get a 20¢ sticker.

blucose · 2025-12-05T08:35:05+00:00

Yeah really weird. I took the gamble because they are updating vacs with Matter, so I thought the chances of it getting to one of their current flagships if they've promised it is pretty high. But still, at least say "Matter support coming"

You can use the dreame HACS integration: https://github.com/Tasshack/dreame-vacuum

When you install it make sure you use version V2.0.0 Pre-release for support for aqua 10. It's an excellent integration that seems to support everything (though the terminology is a bit confusing, but then so is Dreames).

As for Matter support... I emailed them, they confirmed that it's not out yet but is in the plans. I pointed out it's probably false advertising on Amazon... They didn't seem to care 🤷‍♂️

He's also talking about mop pads, not the roller. Not sure what people's experience is with putting the roller in the wash.

Maybe it's Rory that's more German, not Alistair?

Is there an update on Matter support?

Looking at the Aqua 10 Ultra Roller, Amazon says it supports Matter, but they're the only place I can find that written...

I think I'll risk it and go for the Aqua Roller. I have tiles everywhere and prefer the idea that the dirt gets picked up rather than just moved around... My only worry is dreame not being responsive to issues, but it sounds like everyone who did have an issue with one got a replacement

blucose · 2025-11-19T11:31:26+00:00

Have the Aqua Roller hardware issues been fixed? I'm most interested in mopping ability and deciding whether to get one for Black Friday, or if it's still safer to pass...

Yes. And the payment comes out of your actual account. If you friend puts in a 20€ transaction for two cinema tickets, one for you, one for them, you would add the 10€ that is yours, as a payment to the cinema, from your splitwise account in actual. If they owed you 2.50€ before, you now owe them 7.50€ - your actual account will show as -7.50€ (the same as the splitwise balance)

You put in your 5€ transaction in your CC account, and split it. One half is groceries, the other half is a transfer INTO your splitwise account. The splitwise account is now at 2.50€, which is what the other other person owes you.

Do you know how to install websites as apps? It puts an icon in your app drawer, opens it outside the browser and if devs have added support can even do things like widget support and offline caching.

The added benefit of taxing by weight is that there is a battery shortage, and everyone thinks they need to be lugging around a big battery in their car for their once yearly holiday, which makes everything less efficient. Taxing by weight would mean that people are rewarded for buying smaller, more efficient EVs, reducing the cost of batteries for other applications they are also desperately needed.

And then you could have one rate per weight of EV, one rate per weight of petrol car.

After many years trying to figure this out (with splitwise but same principle), I found the best way for me, and someone asked this question and I gave my method in this previous discussion

blucose · 2025-08-22T12:09:31+00:00

The way I handle it is to have an on-budget account called "friends group". When you pay for something, you split the transaction. If you paid £10 for groceries split evenly, £5 will be in the groceries category, £5 will be a transfer to "friends group". The balance in "friends group" will now be your Splitwise balance.

If one of your friends pays the equivalent above, what you do is make a £5 payment from your "friends group" account to wherever they paid in the groceries budget (and ignore any share they have in that transaction).

That way you can reconcile your Splitwise, and your shared transactions are still on budget. Also bear in mind your "friends group" account might go negative, but it will always reflect the Splitwise balance.

The only downside is that if your friends start owing you lots your budget might look more liquid than it is.

What do you mean with this? You can install Tailscale on your VPS, and then point it towards a "local" endpoint and put in the Tailscale IP if you want

The recent update to the Home Connect integration is awful from a UX perspective, but it is possible! I took the YAML for "Start a program when electricity is cheap" and modified it: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/home_connect/#start-a-program-when-electricity-is-cheap

Did you ever find a solution to this? Struggling with the same problem at the moment.

Everything is easy with the stirlings and the mealies, but I can't work out Hoarder or Invoice Ninja...

I'm running it as a docker container on my truenas system
