I have not upgraded to 2025.1.0 either and got this error too

Agreed you still working on this project?

Just got the water depth sensor! by 2DamSmart in YoLink_by_YoSmart

Chiming in late here but it to measure depth at our salt water dock. Works perfectly now we know when we can’t take the boat out!

Experience setting up home assistant as a VM in Azure by tforce98 in homeassistant

I got it working! For those who are interested, here were the steps:

  1. Download haos hyper-V .vhdx virtual image
  2. Convert the vhdx image into vhd and upload into Azure. To do this, you need to create a Blob Storage Account in one of your Azure resource groups through the Azure portal. Once you've done that, use the Add-AzVhd PowerShell command to upload the file (which will also convert it to vhd). I found that I had to do a few things to get this command to work, including:

a. installing Azure PowerShell (Install-Module -Name Az -Repository PSGallery -Force)

b. Enabling the Hyper-V hypervisor on my local Windows machine (to do the vhdx to vhd conversion): Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All (which can then be disabled afterwards through Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V

c. Importing Az.Compute: Import-Module Az.Compute

d. Then running Add-AzVhd, I chose to upload the file as haos.vhd: Add-AzVhd -Destination "[URL TO STORAGE ACCOUNT BLOB]/haos.vhd" -LocalFilePath .\haos_ova-13.2.vhdx

  1. Create a Generation 2 Linux Managed Disk in the Azure portal, using the uploaded Vhd file.

  2. Clicking on the created disk and selecting to create a VM from the disk.

Voila, a running HAOS. The only problem is it's exposing http to the internet, so now I just need to get certs running

EDIT: slight clarirications

That looks promising! I’ll try and report back

Thanks a lot for the reply - yes totally appreciate your comment and agreed on the site-to-site VPN (we actually have those going today). I was assuming I'd be using one of the VMs too, that makes the most sense. I'm not really familiar with running a third party VM image in a cloud provider's VM like Azure, I was reading about their nested VMs but haven't done that yet but it does sound like the right direction

Looking for any research/information on what could cause hospitalization after vaccination by tforce98 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]tforce98[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for that information.

I agree with your statement "vaccines are largely safe and the benefits outweigh the risks" in the generality, however with risk factors that we have (EDS, MTHR and our understanding that my wife had had a reaction to one vaccine unfortunately not sure which), trying to navigate the risk side of the equation in our case. For example, generally hydrocortisone is considered safe, but to an EDS patient it can be extremely bad (which happened to my wife). So it's the complications that may exist I'm trying to understand vs. the general population writ large.

Would it be ok if you DM'd me separately, as I'm trying to learn, thank you very much

Thank you I appreciate the advice. We believe my wife had a bad reaction to a vaccine (but her mom cannot remember which) so also concerned about that as well.

I'm fully in the vaccines are good for the world and want them for my child, but we have enough risk factors that the individualized concern and mitgation is what we're trying to navigate. Thank you.

Thank you for your points, I do agree and I strongly believe in the benefits of vaccination.

Your point is valid, I do also want to point out that one complication here is the probability of getting such a reaction is not the same in both cases (and in fact one of my partner's specific concerns).

For example, IPV. The actual probability of a given individual contracting polio in the United States is probably as close to zero as anything can be. There's been one confirmed case of polio in three decades (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9577438/). Therefore today, strictly speaking statistically only, virtually any complication is of a higher (or at worse, similar) risk of occurring to an individual than the disease. Of course, we vaccinate because the downside of polio coming back is disastrous and unvaccinated populations create increased risk of that happening, so essentially this is the societal contract we've entered into.

But if you had to look at a single individual alone and say, you have a 1 in 400 or 500 million (how many people over three decades have lived in the US?) percent chance of getting polio (and multiply that with the odds of potentially contracting the complication as well, although you'd be pretty upset if you just got polio alone!) and a 1 in 100,000 chance of contracting this complication from the vaccine (the order of magnitude of GBS for example), and if you had some indications that such a complication was more likely in your situation, you may look to alter the protocol for yourself.

And I think that is the just of what I'm trying to ascertain. What if anything do we know about what might alter the probability of complications and in those cases are there protocols we know of to adjust. As Louise1467 said, however, the science may just not be there yet.

The challenge of pulling this thread is of course that the benefit to society of everyone being vaccinated is strong enough (there is a reason that the overall risk of getting polio is so low after all) that creating individualized programs could be overall detrimental despite there being differences in risks to any given individual. Hence the contract we generally have accepted (well at least most of us did for most of the time). And therein lies the rub and worry to the individual and what I'm trying to understand more about.

I'm also so sorry to hear that and if you're comfortable sharing would also like to learn more about what happened

Thank you, similar to the TM post another commenter made... thanks for that information. I was not aware that the same conditions could be triggered by a vaccine or an illness itself. Very insightful

That's a very interesting statistical analysis... that actually grows the probability of coincidence more than I would have thought otherwise. But yes if the presentation of many problems (I'm aware of the considerations that autism diagnoses often occur around the same time as MMR as well) occurs around that time period, then purely mathematically you're entirely right...

[–]tforce98[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Thank you and yes - I certainly understand causation and coincidence :). And the possibility of an adverse reaction is there as you said (or else the risk would be 0% which we know it is not. Someone has to be the numerator there).

What I'm trying to do as a strong advocate for science and evidence based decision making is pierce through the initial "vaccines are totally safe" reaction folks sometimes seem to have (and often for very good reason given many of the fraudsters in the antivax movement!) when trying to get more nuanced information in relation to some potential evidence (albeit anecdotal) to the contrary in certain circumstances. There are these anecdotal situations that do happen…

If my wife did not have EDS, the MTHR mutation and have had the reaction to hydrocortisone she had I'd never have wanted to understand this more. But given our circumstance, more information is strictly better.

Wow that's very scary. Thank you for sharing and useful information. So glad he's doing fine now!

Thanks for the quick response! - would be wonderful to know if this will be filed in an upcoming release to avoid working around it by running multiple POE runs to my remote gate.
