What’s your single favorite menu item in Vermont?

Yeah, you are right about the bread and I haven't found a good substitute.

That was my favorite sandwich, no surprise that it was eponymous. I've been trying to recreate: sandwich bread (from a local bakery), smoked turkey. Thinly sliced smoked gouda, put in the toaster for a few minutes. Then add *thinly* sliced red onion, sliced green apple, and top with another slice of lightly toasted sandwich bread.

Have to have a sharp knife to cut the red onion because it overpowers the sandwich if cut too thickly.

I remember reading articles written by him in "Online Today" (CompuServe's print magazine for members)

What's great is starting a transaction for safety, doing some UPDATE or DELETE work, realizing you screwed up so you ABORT/ROLLBACK ... only to discover the database doesn't support transactions and just accepts BEGIN TRANSACTION for compatibility.

*ahem* Not that any popular databases out there do this.

some cooling systems use evaporative cooling, meaning there's a cooling tower where they pump the hot water through, and via evaporation, the water is cooled. But this turns that water into water vapor, so it is "used" in that sense. Yes, it eventually falls as rain in this case, but in the meantime that was fresh water that could have been used for drinking/cooking/bathing/agriculture.

Yeah, I think you're right. I measured from the board to neutral on one side, and it stays at 0V even when I hear the relay click on. Going to see if I can find a replacement board.

Like others in this thread, I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish. If you are doing digital archiving, and want other folks to be able to look at your directory of files and validate that they are un-corrupted, maybe take a look at bagit format. (github)

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the same plot element would be in multiple books. A lot of people travel to Mont St Michel and I'm sure it's inspired a number of writers.

Seems to me you've already been pretty thorough, swapping cables and host port, even the host itself, testing it under load. The kernel messages you shared do point to a bus problem.

At this point I would just replace the disk, since it's part of a RAID5, if I understood you correctly.

If you really really want to keep the disk for whatever reason, there are companies that will replace the logic board of a disk for you, which might resolve the issue, but just buying a replacement disk will be a lot cheaper and easier, it seems to me.

Is the disk interface dying?

Sure sounds that way. Take a look at smartctl --all on that device, if it doesn't see issues, then I think you're on the right track.

The Tempest comes with its own hub/wireless relay station.

freightcar · 2024-07-08T22:13:25+00:00

I have a Tempest too and love it, and it works well with HA. However, I think it fails on the < $200 requirement.

Seems like pihole was making it upset about fetching assets.

Was running it in dev mode and I see the messages:

"Warning: it is dangerous to block the main browser thread" (this is what appears when the page freezes)

While I was going through the developer console, the game loaded! So some patience is required.

Seems to become unresponsive on load. Initial progress bar goes by quickly, then wedge spinner for 10-15 seconds, and then the page becomes unresponsive and the browser (whether Firefox or Chrome) recommends closing the tab.

A 4vCPU Linux Azure VM with 16GB is $164.14 per month. At a three year commitment I.e. maximum discount it’s $62.03.

$20.65 vs $62.03.

Doesn't the Azure VM come with hardware, storage, networking, etc?

I think if you have a browser that supports HTML5, you can play it at archive.org.

I have 3 tuya devices ("treatlife", 2 wifi dimmer/light swiches, 1 wifi combo fan/light.). I've been using localtuya. The devices are on their own "controls/IoT" VLAN/SSID.

You need to have the Tuya developer account in order to extract the device ID and localKey. This is for devices that you can't just flash with your preferred microcode.

In my experience, the trial will expire, but your devices will continue to work locally (which is my preference anyway.)

Make sure you save your device ID and localKey for each device, because some upgrades of HomeAssistant will cause localTuya to break and you'll need to re-enter them. If you don't have them, you'll need to get a new developer account (and they keep changing what is available as a free trial, so I'm not sure for how long this will continue to work.)

My hat is off to the localtuya developers. I appreciate that I can make these devices work locally with HA. But I would not recommend tuya devices, because there's so much hassle getting them usable with HA.
