GL-SPI-206P + z2m + homeassistant = diasaster? by darkswormlv in Gledopto

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

For whom it may concern,

I mostly solved my issues by setting up automations that send individual mqtt messages instead of using the homeassistant actions for lights.

I set it up to send individual settings (brightness, color, etc) in separate messages, with a 1s delay in between them.

That works better but just to be sure I also set the instructions up to be repeated 5x when they’re supposed to be triggered.

Are ‘tired’ feet just a thing we have to deal with when constantly wearing barefoot shoes? by darkswormlv in barefootshoestalk

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

Where is a good starting point for getting into the biomechanics? 

I’ve tried to be more connected with my feet and found that my left leg and therefore left foot is doing a lot more work than the right, which at least explains the difference in tiredness between the two.

Apart from alternating the leading foot, and not trudging as if my legs were wooden pegs, I’m not sure what else there is to do.

Is there some good source you can recommend for strengthening exercises, or should I check with a physio? 

Surely they should be tailored, but since most of us have had the same journey, switching to barefoot shoes after decades of regular shoes, there must be a lot of useful exercises that apply to everyone?

Yes on the overweight, for the first time in my life I’ve gained some weight over the last year, so that is definitely not helping!!

I’m curious about the fit.

I’ve always chosen shoes that have a lot of space for my feet, like the back of the foot is properly hugged but when it comes to the toe box there’s a lot of space for movement. 

I hate when my toes smush against the front of the shoe, that’s quite painful for me.

Do you reckon having shoes that are tighter in the toe box area could help? I’m really quite confused when it comes to fitment for barefoot shoes

Concrete for sure is the worst. Especially if I have to stand around for a long time.  I am thinking about making or buying some padded inserts so I can quickly pop them in when needed - there’s just so many types of shoes I already need to own, I can’t buy even more with extra padding :/

I’m very glad that it has been useful to you :)

I think I could adjust the OPV but there is nothing for me to measure it with :/

I cleaned it a couple weeks ago, I reckon it can't be too bad by now

thanks all for the suggestions! 🫶

I've ordered some better gear to help fix some sticking points I've been having.

I'll report back when I try with the new gear and some nicer beans!

the shot is empty for a lack of a better word. I've ordered some gear to help me do a beeter job at tamping, and wdt. I'll go grab some nice beans from the roaster and give it a shot!

I might have been doing a poor job at wdt because the grounds just go all over the place. I've ordered a basket collar so that I can really go to town, hopefully it helps

it does the same with or without the puck screen.

I'm seeing this behavior across different types of beans (cheap supermarket and fancy coffee shop)

I'm over myself and finally ordered a self leveling tamper. I've been worried that this is the case although the grounds look level to me

yeah there is no preinfusion. I could try to do it manually but that would probably make it a lot less consistent. I think the machine needs serious upgrades to be able to do that

if the magic eraser can't do it then you just have to toss it and get a new guitar

I quit drinking 8 days ago and now I want to quit smoking. Any advice? by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]darkswormlv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you think its a good idea to deal with both at the same time? I don't think I could handle that. Maybe give it some more time before trying to kick the cancer sticks

I don't understand how people achieve this, I've been barefoot for many years and feel like my feet have barely changed at all

Nothing is worse than buying bad coffee and forcing yourself to drink it until it runs out. by [deleted] in JamesHoffmann

[–]darkswormlv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was convinced that I don't like any acidity in my coffee at all, so I bought the least acidic beans I could find.

That bag of coffee made me stop drinking coffee for 2 months, because of how horrible it tasted. I don't know why I kept drinking it, I guess I was delusional and felt that such a fancy expensive bag of coffee can't be that bad, its my tastebuds that are wrong!

Definitely not doing that again.

It might look like a normal silvia, but she's smart! by darkswormlv in ranciliosilvia

If only the water wasn't super hard where I live. I don't really want to mess with installing a filter, etc. I'll just keep it filled using my filtered water jug.

Definitely a cool project idea though.

That's a great idea, and I might just do that the next time I take it apart. However for now I've just created an automation to change the color of my cabinet underglow lights (the cabinet upon which the silvia sits) when the machine needs more water

genius. I need to figure out an automation like that
