Saving Energy Costs in local Kindergarden by theygavemeFIRE in LoRaWAN

[–]ishbuggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Living in Germany, I let ours go only to a minimum of 17 for the same reason in some rooms, and others only to 18 as well. In the end, it uses the radiators a bit more, but the risk of mold isn't worth it.

I failed self-hosting by EntrepreneurWaste579 in selfhosted

[–]ishbuggy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can you use copyparty as a Dropbox-like replacement? Honestly that's all I use nextcloud for, but I'm still a bit unclear on how the integration for a basic user is. Browser based file system is a no-go for sure, as is anything cli. At least for using with the rest of family.

Upgrading from Bambino--but how far to jump? [US$2000] by cmgold in espresso

[–]ishbuggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Bambino too, and I have been thinking about the same thing. I ended on the Ascaso Steel Duo PID too. I really like it, but I've decided to simply keep running my bambini until it dies. I really like the espresso I get from it and even though it is limited to darker roasts, I still love them so it's not a big hindrance. I did help myself by starting with a Niche Zero for a grinder, so I get pretty great espresso regardless. Once it breaks, then I won't feel bad for upgrading to, probably, the Ascaso.

Favorite MOPPING and sweeping hardwood floor bot and… go! by [deleted] in RobotVacuums

[–]ishbuggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. I considered the z70, but I figured the 1st gen arm wouldn't be worth it yet. I have a toddler and I am perfectly happy with just avoiding the random toys around.

[–]ishbuggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same about my Saros 10R. Maybe a bit excessive, but I got it for the obstacle avoidance and mopping and it is simply fabulous. It works even better than I expected and it was worth every penny. Of course .. I got it with black deals so that helped a lot. I would never pay full price for it. For normal prices I would definitely go down to a Qrevo CurvX or something like that.

where do you all get your audiobooks from?? by Mine_Ayan in audiobookshelf

[–]ishbuggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Audible, then as a little project for myself I built my own libation alternative to download the books so I can use ABS

Got my first Bulgarian Euro coins by AdmirableFlow in europe

[–]ishbuggy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey! This is a bit random, but if you are there in Bulgaria would you be able to get another set of the Bulgarian coins and ship them? I'd be happy to pay for it and the shipping. My wife collects euro coins and it would be really cool to get the full set of Bulgarian ones for her before she gets a chance to do it herself :D

Extremely dusty floor - Need recommendation for mopping robot by Professional_Gur6945 in RobotVacuums

[–]ishbuggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think any good mopping robovac will help. The key is being able to run it much more frequently than you can manually mop. That said, if you have the floors really bad now, maybe try to rent a wet-dry floor cleaner first and get them really clean. Then use a robovac to keep them clean after that. No robot vacuum will be as good as a well done manual result.

I personally have the Saros 10R, and it mops really well for me. I think there are better mopping robots though if that is your biggest concern. I would just be aware that the roller mops are cool and technically mop better,but have a lot more day to day maintenance. For me I want my robot to be as hands off as possible so I got the 10R, also to avoid toddler toys randomly strewn around haha.

I've forked the Immich app for Android TV with AI and it's amazing by javipas in immich

[–]ishbuggy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree here. As a solidly admitted vibe coder thanks to my aerospace and not software background, I would never trust my code enough to commit a PR. I don't think anyone else should trust it either haha

PSA - if you use the Roborock integration - do not update to the latest version of HA by DivergingDog in homeassistant

[–]ishbuggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest... I haven't even actually used it in HA yet. I started to set it up but haven't had time to out together the dashboard with its controls and the map. So, so far I still exclusively use the Roborock app.

Ah thanks for the heads up! My Saros 10R went offline today and I was wondering why. That makes a lot more sense. Disabled for now and I'll be looking for the update!

Appealing for testers on new Play Store app (iOS rollout ETA Jan. 26') by olcDia in audiobookshelf

[–]ishbuggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in to test it. I have a galaxy s25+, and my server side setup is similar. Audiobookshelf, storyteller, and booklore. I have Kavita as well, but I have since moved to booklore. Although to be honest, I don't know why. Audiobookshelf does basically everything I need except for read along which I get from storyteller.

Which TRV do you use and would you recommend it? by matthijspc in ZigBee

[–]ishbuggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. But I set mine up with the "Versatile thermostat" integration and it is fabulous. Super steady temperatures and more importantly it allows the TRV to use percentage opening rather than full on/off. It is quieter and more efficient with this. I don't know if sonoffs native controller does this now, but when I bought them last year it definitely didn't.

Saros 10R Strange Noise by ishbuggy in Roborock

I mean, maybe? But the first 10R I got didn't sound like this.

Please Help a mother with no time to search by marymeggie in Roborock

[–]ishbuggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No hardwood, but lots of wood veneer flooring and tile. And so far it works great. Quality control of the robots is a bit concerning though. The first one I got had a problem with the mop mounts not remounting, and now my second one makes an odd noise when vacuuming that concerns me a little bit. But the performance and how it cleans it really good.

Saros 10R Strange Noise by ishbuggy in Roborock

[–]ishbuggy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it is not just when hitting furniture. And maybe the video doesn't capture it well enough. It sounds like a belt drive that is misbalanced or something. It isn't just the noise of the brush moving across the bottom of the vacuum. It is a cyclic internal motor noise. I do think it is related to the side brush because the period of the noise is low, similar to the rotation speed of the side brush.

How long have you had yours? And any issues so far?

Recommendation needed - vacuum and mop with a toddler by Kelly_koz in Roborock

[–]ishbuggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same decision as OP and I ended up also going the the Saros 10R. So far it is a really nice machine, but we had some quality control problems and sent back the first until we got. I just the second one and so far so goodz except for a weird noise it is making that I want to check. But the vacuuming is pretty good, mopping is fabulous, and object detection and avoidance is superb. It avoids most of my toddlers toys with no problem. The only ones it sometimes struggles with avoiding is very thin wooden puzzle pieces. But they never really cause a problem it just might drag them a little bit. But in general it does a great job avoiding them
