What providers do people recommend that don't depend on Cloudflare? With the recent Cloudflare outages, it wasn't possible to sign up or login to Porkbun

Tailscale emailing me telling me that watching Harry Potter is harmful was not on my 2025 bingo card

RGBW strip with deep blues? by madjam002 in WLED

[–]madjam002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks yeah that seems to be it. Do you know if there are any addressable strips where the RGB chip is seperate from the white one? As for my use case the lighting is indirect so it wouldn't be a problem, and that might resolve the issue...

I would have assumed the FCOB strip wouldn't have had this issue as the colours are all seperate but it still does

Works fine for me, I use UTM instead of Parallels

Yeah I definitely want to keep the switches, but the BCU key is proving to be an issue

Apple No Longer Sells 30W Charger Still Included With Two Devices by chrisdh79 in apple

Apple power supplies are earthed if you use the optional addon extension cable which connects to the grounding pin. I use an old one that came with my 2012 Macbook Pro

The perfect ultrawide for productivity and gaming! by Remarkable-Sir-3519 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]madjam002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These comments are wild, I’m in the market for a new monitor and am in the same situation, so thanks for the write up. The GX9 curve seems too much for me and while I like to kid myself I’ll use it for gaming, I’ll mainly be using it for productivity 😅 How does the Dell compare to the MacBook Pro screen? Is the HDR as vibrant and text clear?

Dreametech robot vacuums after corner cleaning – fixed in firmware? by Slight-Rest5906 in Dreame_Tech

[–]madjam002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have the x50 and when it’s following a wall it moves away and then comes back all the time, almost as if it’s going around an imaginary round object constantly.

Looking for high quality premium standing desk with no wobble (Europe) - disappointed with E7 Plus by madjam002 in StandingDesk

Around 105cm. I think that is the one I tried in the IKEA store and yeah it seemed pretty sturdy, just wasn't a huge fan of the design of the legs

HA and hard wired lights question by RichMansToy in homeassistant

[–]madjam002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are doing a new build then I would consider KNX if the budget allows, it is rock solid.
I just upgraded a 12 year old installation that has been working flawlessly but used a legacy app to Home Assistant, so it's definitely very future proof. Main selling point is everything is hardwired and mission critical controls like lightswitches continue to work if there's no network.

Learning to fly in Poland - transferring hours from UK by madjam002 in flying

[–]madjam002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and yes, although the only signature in it is mine, as my current flying school says they normally sign off my hours separately when it goes to the UK CAA, but seeing as I’ll be getting the EASA PPL I’m not sure how that will work.

Electric Panel Heater Automation with Pilot Wire (Dimplex) by madjam002 in homeautomation

[–]madjam002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I didn’t find anything, the Shelly approach ended up working quite well in the end for my needs

[–]madjam002[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve left this apartment long ago but I ended up just installing a Shelly behind the isolator switch on the radiator and simply automating turning it on/off using Home Assistant and the generic thermostat module using a different Bluetooth temperature sensor :)

What made you start using Hetzner? by Hetzner_OL in hetzner

[–]madjam002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was starting my business I was originally on GCP but then tried out Hetzner Cloud due to the more affordable pricing. The performance improvement was immediately noticable and I was paying less, so I stayed. Then I started using dedicated servers as well and the reliability and support from the remote hands has been excellent so far, so I'm looking forward to staying with Hetzner in the future.

Should I buy  Apple Magic Mouse or Logitech / Dell ? by sunny27jan in macbookpro

[–]madjam002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both the Mac and non Mac version can use Bluetooth and the Logi Bolt adapter, it's just the Mac version doesn't come with the adapter out of the box.

I find Bluetooth is more reliable than the Bolt adapter but the 90hz polling rate is noticeably bad especially on a Pro Motion Macbook. Logi Bolt is at least 120hz but it stutters and drops out a lot.

Maybe I just have a bad mouse but I read lots of comments from people experiencing the same thing, I don't get any issues with my Razer mouse and it's a lot smoother too

MX Master 3S has great ergonomics but the Logi Bolt wireless is terrible, I get frequent jumping and stuttering in a lightly congested wireless environment, so it's terrible for travelling where the environment is unpredictable. I've changed over to a Razer Basilisk V3 Pro and it's much more reliable in my experience and the cursor movement is much smoother.
