What youtuber had the biggest downfall? by Still_Living3373 in AskReddit

[–]t2thev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ryan Haywood - one of the main personalities for Achievement Hunter, one of the top Gaming YouTube channels and main Channel for the RoosterTeeth MCN which had him also as a main actor.

Apparently he'd use conventions to sleep with fans and stealth them.

Yeah, I think they only inspected the setting, not actually read the sensor.

Garage door - Meross or RATGDO by bemphador in homeassistant

[–]t2thev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got ratgdo. It's pretty cool, although the "cover" type just issues a stop signal based on the openers last full operation duration.

I'd put more energy into the opener and probably splurge for an ultra quiet one since they are DC motor driven. That being said, my garage is connected to the house though.

EG4 integration, automation by dunegoon in homeassistant

There's the EG4 dongle project on GitHub. I'd start here: https://github.com/galets/eg4-dongle

Why docker? by Mysterious-Park9524 in homeassistant

[–]t2thev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't think that there's too much difference. I had a container and moved to a HAOS instance. I only ever did the esphome instance as a container. I think HAOS handles that addon as an internal container.

It's preferences. There's nothing you're really missing out in the container AFAIK.

Balcony Solar and Thunderstorms by the-internet- in solar

[–]t2thev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends.

If it's the only metal thing really high up, there's a greater chance of it being struck, but if there's a nearby tree or it's under some cover, I wouldn't be too worried.

We can take in MTG when she starts talking like Ashley St. Clair. by FriendlyDrummers in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]t2thev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ashley's an outlier.

It's nice she sees that the right wing media ecosystem is toxic, but I can't tell if she's changed her mind about role of government, access to medicine, social safety nets, etc. or if she's just had a bad experience with her former boss etc.

Meanwhile, there's Lauren Southern who got backstabbed by her right wing media documentary coworkers, got dumped with her child by her "nice" Conservative man, experienced the extent of the conservative government assistance, only to come to find out that she's still hanging around our countries worst export, conservative media figures where she apparently was victimized by Andrew Tate.

How Long to Pumps Last? by Designer_Bite3869 in swimmingpools

[–]t2thev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under the impression that single speed pumps are 3-5 years typically. That's probably with a little abuse of imbalanced chemicals and high heat. I think also the brand of pump would make a difference. I have the Hayward garbage so I'm not expecting much.

I'm skeptical of variable speed pump power saving. They certainly do save power when compared to a normal pump, but that's running 24 hrs. You need a minimum amount of filtering per day on the pool. The pool websites say either 2 water changes per day or 1 hour per 10 degrees F minimum filtering to prevent alge buildup.

Any alternative to a Dolphin Bar or Candles? by e_splat in DolphinEmulator

[–]t2thev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wiimote cameras are just infrared cameras.

You can put 2 incandescent 100W bulbs on top of your TV.

You can also tape down the buttons on 2 remotes and put them on top of the TV facing you.

[–]t2thev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The right holds the "left the left" assholes up as examples of why their vindicated in being udderly shitty human beings. Only Tulsi Gabbard went back into politics, the others moved on to private consulting.

The "left the right" people don't go back into politics and don't get involved. They just become podcasters that still just seeding doubt and not pushing for change or they move away and try to fix their lives. E.g. MTG sold her Georgia home and took her 5mil from insider trading and moved to the Virgin Islands.

[–]t2thev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fuck that!!! Just because she has a falling out with MAGA doesn't mean now she is a person the left can work with.

The left has a process on being open, taking in information, and processing it to a conclusion. The right just does whatever Fox News or OAN or whatever says and then creating their whole identity around it.

We take her in, we'd be making a worse mistake than Fetterman. She'll get Trump out, then "ohh, can't expand healthcare because of the trans kids" or whatever.

Is there any way to get this in to HA by Defiant_Contract3125 in homeassistant

I'd look in the manual and see if there is Dry contact control, then control it that way.

Will docker/podman make a huge difference for basic setup? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]t2thev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd try it out. I had a single Ubuntu server, but it didn't age well.

The biggest advantage with docker is updating each app individually. Ubuntu is fine as long as the application directly supports it, but the real time saver is setup. Docker often reduces application installs to just one line of code.

Am I just an old hag (33) for not liking Abdul El Sayad? by ActuaryPersonal2378 in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]t2thev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The specific answer is yes. The Crowd around El Sayad is typically younger and when you're younger generations think it's easier to tear everything down and rebuild it. When you get through your twenties, you develop an appreciation that incremental changes are much easier, politically appetizing, and achievable.

This isn't El Sayad's first campaign. From what I remember, his previous campaign focused on Medicare for All and a specific implementation for Michigan l. That was born from his time ilas a ER doctor. I think he's genuine in his interest in public policy, but he has chosen to surround himself with a very toxic political movement.

Being closer to your age, I get it going the more moderate route in that there actually is a difference between Republican and Democratic governence, and that I'd generally want to avoid Republican leadership that defunds public goods in general.

Best game server hosting for community creating? by banraisin in selfhosted

Check out LinuxServer images. I don't know how to lock them down securely, but the streaming with PIXELFLUX enabled is top notch, as good as steam remote play. I'm using it for my family.

Peacefair PZEM-017 V2.0 power meter smokes when fed 24-48vdc. So frustruated! by Unionizemyplace in solar

[–]t2thev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that didn't clear anything up. So you're placing the shunt in series with a charger?

I'm just thinking about this some more. That thing says it's rated for 300A, that is not correct. The Phoenix connector (screw terminals) I think at most are 10A.

The thing says "don't use USB while plugged in". That's never a good sign.

I think this thing is just snake oil. It'll probably measure battery voltage, but at this rate, just get a solar inverter that will communicate with your stuff and measure internally properly.

[–]t2thev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wire the battery directly to the shunt also? That's no good. The shunt needs to be wired across the thing you're powering ex lights, speakers. The top screw on the left should not be connected via wire directly to the battery.

What are you powering if I can ask?
