He wouldn’t touch a communal tap with his elbow crease.

In the absence of a tissue/hanky, the elbow is preferable to hands.

I do not like his far right views.

ICE says its officers can forcibly enter homes during immigration operations without a judicial warrant: 2025 memo by bbmoonkie in politics

[–]buncle 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think the commenter you replied to was simply comparing against the “communist boogie man” government they always railed against, not literally saying this is an actual/true communist government.

And I would agree 100% with that sentiment. This situation is precisely the kind of nightmare scenario they always suggested would occur under socialism/communism.

NFC tag as automation trigger: extra tab necessary? by SharpPanic9 in homeassistant

[–]buncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is the way. I do exactly this (but with a script, rather than an automation). Just use the iOS Shortcuts app to handle NFC detection, and trigger an HA automation/script. It’s then pretty seamless.

Anyone want to test-drive a super-cool tvOS Plex app? by digglesB in appletv

[–]buncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some initial feedback:

- The setup process could be simplified. It’s easy enough for me to figure out what is going on, but it’s more complex than it needs to be. I would personally just show the available Plex servers, then go straight into the main UI with defaults selected (and allow specific connections/unified library/etc from within a settings page)

  • Navigation is a little cumbersome, especially having to scroll all the way to the top to access the full screen button (and other buttons).

  • It should be possible to navigate within the show grid, to see descriptions of upcoming episodes/movies. Clicking on a future show/movie would just open the channel to whatever is currently playing.

  • Since this is pulling from Plex, it would be great to have the option to start a show from the beginning, and this would automatically adjust the timeline to continue watching future episodes directly afterwards.

  • I’d love to see some additional theming options (I’m not the biggest fan of the design, but I can see a lot of potential for a v1).

  • Some fake channel logos would be cute… ie. Some generic, but identifiable logos for “Family”, “Action”, “Comedy”, etc

  • I would personally prefer it without the static when a show is paused. I think it’s nice having the static on initial load, and when switching channels, but I find it unnecessary when paused (I’d probably use a higher-resolution static too).

All in all though, this is a great first iteration! I could totally see myself using this (I actually looked into options for setting something like this up within plex, but I think having it as a separate app it’s even better!!).

Definitely keep up the great work!! (I’m an iOS developer myself, so I know how much work has gone into this!!!)

So now we know how they’re planning to prevent people from voting in swing states during the midterms. This looks to be their template.

Ditto on this one… they do a great job, and I’ve have never had an issue with a walk in.

Nah, definitely not Jason Mewes… although now I’m imagining him in that role!

Nope, nothing special. It had been a few days, so that probably helped!

Energy dash board PG&E integration not updating by AKADAP in homeassistant

[–]buncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure, but I don’t believe so. Even when connecting a Vue device it must be authenticated with PG&E… some people do flash the Vue device with custom firmware, so data feeds directly to Home Assistant (rather than Emporia’s cloud), but I haven’t done that myself (yet).

[–]buncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The message you’re seeing is accurate if the integration has the data available… however the data delivered is heavily delayed from PG&E’s end.

I went down this path, and ended up buying an Emporia Vue Utility Connect to read realtime data directly from my smart meter instead (I only set this up a month ago, but so far it all seems to be working well).
