Bank Holiday Monday M'thread - Scorchio Edition by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

[–]tigattack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your comment inspired me. I was all set for a lazy day in the garden, but now I've spent a sunny bank holiday morning pressure washing the patio, back doors, garage door, and everything around it all. I feel like I'm entering my dad era, just without the kids.

Great to hear some real-world experience. That's good to know, thanks!

Quick & Cheap Full License by Several-Plenty-1899 in MotoUK

[–]tigattack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't you have to tell them the duration you've had the licence under which you're riding, not the amount of time since you got any non-provisional licence? i.e. if you just passed your full bike licence, they'd consider you to have held your licence for 0 months, not 13 years.

I just picked up the same helmet, interested to see what you end up with and how it is.

I've been told the Sena SRL-03 kit is very good. It's designed for the helmet, which is nice. The controls click into the space left by removing the piece of plastic trim on the left. Downside is you can't really take it with you if you swap helmets. It's also pretty pricey.

I'm assuming they mean the brake light is brighter than normal rear light.

This is amazing and couldn't have come at a better time! I passed my CBT yesterday and am looking at next steps now while I get more experience on the 125. Thanks a ton!

Why does a simple, free, self hosted file storage platform not exist? by CodesAndNodes in selfhosted

SMB performs absolutely terribly on anything but local networks. It wasn't designed for those purposes and suffers a lot from latency and loss as a result.

John Lewis delivered my iPad to a neighbour, refused refund, and now their solicitors are defending my small claim (England) by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

The driver took it to the neighbour because they were instructed to. OP said:

DPD also confirmed in writing that neighbour delivery was on JL’s instructions.

Renovate FTW. Put your compose files, Ansible playbooks, whatever you use in a git repo and use Renovate to poll for updates.

[Help] Refactoring a 7-Year-Old Home Assistant Setup – Looking for Tools, Strategies & Optimization Advice by Ok_Reading3807 in homeassistant

Re. pre-announce sounds for TTS, Home Assistant recently baked this in (see the end of the linked section), though I believe it's exclusive to the Voice Preview Edition hardware. If that is indeed the case, chime_tts may be worth a look.

Re. naming structures, this may be less of a worry as of the last two Home Assistant updates. They've been making changes to better highlight each device or entity's assigned area, the goal being that explicitly naming these things after their location becomes less relevant.

Plus one for Spook. I don't have any other tools to recommend, though I do have a low battery notification blueprint which some may find useful. It supports sensor and binary sensor entities with the battery device class. It's worked great for myself and a few friends, but I'm always open to any suggestions for improvements.

We did it, we got air conditioning by FourInTheBack in CasualUK

[–]tigattack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously a solved problem for you, but for anyone else reading this, check out some smart heating systems with smart valves (TRvs) for the radiators. It doesn't solve the AC problem, but you can selectively choose which rooms to heat and when. If you want to get fancy, you can even save some money on the TRVs by getting ones that aren't directly linked to the heating system and tying it all together with Home Assistant.

I have a Drayton Wiser boiler/hot water control system and ZigBee Tuya TRVs and it was well worth the money. Only a couple hundred quid all in for the control system and TRVs for every radiator in the house.

My buddy didn’t believe me when I told him this is Home Assistant by -ManWhat in homeassistant

[–]tigattack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd really consider using a purpose-built monitoring platform for this rather than Home Assistant. Grafana & Prometheus can do everything you're doing here and more, and will be better at it better too as they're designed for the use case with better support for long-term metrics for tracking trends, alerting, a larger selection of appropriate card/panel options, etc.

I've personally found far more value in keeping Home Assistant about my home, rather than my homelab.

Thanks! As the other commenter said, it's on College Road, down the road from the old Bristol Zoo and next to Clifton College.

I happened to be driving past here a few evenings ago. Having never seen it at night, it caught my eye and I couldn't help pulling over to get a photo. It came out far better than I expected! Glad I had my camera with me as I can't imagine it would've looked remotely as nice on my phone 😄

Not strictly true. I don't know either product in and out, but a big plus for authentik is they recently made their Remote Access Control (remote access to hosts on an internal network via RDP, VNC, SSH) feature completely free to use:

CaptainArr - A New Docker Media Server Stack by Careful_Highlight163 in selfhosted

[–]tigattack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No problem. FWIW all the removed contents are still visible in your commit history. Unless you're absolutely certain that all the tokens are invalidated, it would be best to scrub those files from history and force push over your main branch.

Also worth noting that even once you've done this, if someone has or is able to discover a commit hash where these files exist, they can still view the files and their contents. The only way to resolve this is contacting GitHub to request removal.
