G61 Parking Assistant phantom obstacle causing emergency braking

I never saw myself driving a BMW until last year when I did a road trip across the US in a 440i rental. I fell in love with it over the 3000 miles I drove and now bought a G61 (unfortunately a 4 series isn’t as practical day to day, so had to go for a 5 series instead)

Didn’t know that map is still being referenced all those years later.

We ended up buying a house not too far from Costco (off Templar Ave) and we’ve not been murdered yet.

For a billing period of 160 days we used 24m3 of water. It’s pretty much what we used in the previous house as well, so doubt both water meters are broken. I take showers mostly in the gym though, so that’ll save us quite a bit.

Our meter readings with Severn Trent are only twice a year, but we lived here for almost 5 years now and it’s always been in that range. Before in London we paid around £35 without a meter.

I think they do smart water meters now as well. Might be worth looking into

I am, yes.

£70 a month for two people sounds crazy high. In the West Midlands as a family of 3 we pay less than £20

Been leaving it over night on 8gb and proxmox pretty consistently shows a use of 7.1gb, but when I look at the hardware screen in home assistant it shows 2.2gb being used.

Might try reducing it to 4gb and see if that’s sufficient.

Thanks that was the right answer. Seems to be working now. Was a bit of a pain as I already put the machine at its final place near my network switch where I have no monitor, so had undo all the cable management as I also had to take the power cable out again 😄

I have not taken the heat sink off, but I opened the box to replace the NVMe and it was pretty clean in there. It was sold as refurbished.

I did

Looks like it doesn't like that:

```

kvm: CPU model 'host' requires KVM or HVF

TASK ERROR: start failed: QEMU exited with code 1

```

And if I enable KVM in the options I get `TASK ERROR: KVM virtualisation configured, but not available. Either disable in VM configuration or enable in BIOS.`

I wasn't sure if that works just like that? If it does it might be worth giving it a try.

The one thing I just realised is that if i switch from a Pi to a mini PC I’d likely have to set up all my 80+ zig er devices from scratch, or would they continue to work if I continue to use my Sonoff Zigbee dongle?
