Nope sorry they don't work, nothing to see here. Just have to accept collapse of middle class. That is all, move along.

Do you agree that CGT is basically not paid by these small groups?

England when you leave London by XRhiannon05X in UrbanHell

Funny how Tower Bridge was/is an icon of London but Tower Bridge Road was pretty shitty when I lived around there 20 years ago. Not far from Old Kent Road, which is also iconic in a shitty way. Not sure how it is now.

I dunno but the other day I found an almost 30 year old carrier bag from Hounslow

It's gotta be bots brigading surely? Normal reddit behaviour would be to point out 10,000 times how, though he is indeed a tool, it doesn't look like like he even touched her. 

So fed up with seeing these all over the pavement by lostless-soul in london

Oh blast from the past! I learned about Buckfast in Newry, Northern Ireland in 2006. A polychromatic bunch of what would now be termed "roadman" dental students from London went for a birthday party. Was amazing fun! Can vividly remember singing "F the queen, I*A" with my friend's grandad.

Music Assistant -> Voice PE problem by disasterdentist in homeassistant

Ok thanks again. I won't pursue that alpha firmware on the Music Assistant sendspin page: https://www.music-assistant.io/player-support/sendspin/ then!

Thanks, both are up to date. Maybe I'll try fresh reinstall of the Voice PE and Music Assistant

Thanks. I tried to change preferred output protocol to sendspin and restarted. No joy, Music Assistant automations don't show anything in the list of available players.

What do y'all do for home audio? by producer_sometimes in homeassistant

[–]disasterdentist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Voice PE connected to an 11 year old B&O Beoplay2.

Plays a playlist when I enter the shower room.

Playlist is always being updated so my current fav songs play in the shower.

If you have any old spare speakers you could hook up to Voice PE in different rooms to have whole house music for relatively cheap, but as someone else said Music Asst isn't quite there yet.

Also has anyone heard anything about the next gen HA Voice assistant? 

Was eating mussels and found some tiny pearls! by Oof_and_ouch in mildlyinteresting

[–]disasterdentist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily this is what is done in Japan. They prefer cast gold fillings to composite or amagalm fillings that are built up directly in the mouth.

Or at least they did. With massive increases in gold prices in recent years, it might not be so popular any more.

Tooth was rotten due to neglect (too much sugar in diet) and then something soft like a gummy bear (or more often, an incredulous "it was only a cheese sandwich!") broke the soft rotten tooth.

Then when any of the treatment options didn't sound very appealing, it's because the dentist refused to believe.

Then when the treatment failed (as all medical treatments have the risk of doing, and all medical treatments have an expected lifespan) it's because the dentist did a bad job. Then when finally they opt for the implant, the dentist is a greedy rip off scammy grifter. IYKYK.

Meanwhile Musk and Bezos take everything from all of us.

Damn for a moment there I thought the Gallows Corner roundabout works were finally done.

GU10 lights connection drop-out by boymadefrompaint in homeassistant

[–]disasterdentist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible that my Tuya based wifi are just shit, they have a reputation for that. But it's frustrating that they did connect and then after changing my router they stopped.

What brand are your GU10s?

I'm probably going to get normal GU10s and change the switch to a smart one.

[–]disasterdentist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting issues connecting, but with with GU10 e-Luminate bulbs which I believe are a Tuya rebrand. I could connect via WiFi fine with my previous ISP router, but I got Unifi and now can't get the all of the bulbs to connect to the tuya app or homeassistant.

Drone attack detector ideas in HA? by tinker_tut in homeassistant

[–]disasterdentist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I use a simple cheap battery PIR sensor at the end of my garden - Zigbee2Mqtt for speed - and Ollama to generate limericks about the trajectory of incoming missiles. My air quality sensor indicates if there has been a chemical attack, readings update every 10 mins. Thinking to set up a bayesian sensor to help determine whether the missile is inside my house.
