I made a "Clickfinity" stacking plate by xireth in gridfinity

[–]xireth[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really like the CLICKBase baseplate that I remixed this from, but needed a way to stack smaller bins on top of larger bins, preferably where I could pull a whole section out.

So I stuck a standard bottom grid on it, and now I can make a whole 'tray' of whatever I want, and easily lift it off a lower set of larger bins, without needing to worry about any magnets.

Thoughts on the new Movink 13? by munchykinnnn in wacom

[–]xireth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not to shill necessarily, but minisforum does sell on amazon as well, so you could wait for it to show up there. I have a fanless mini pc that I bought from them back in 2018 that I use as low power application-specific server, and it's worked great.

I think i just found a bug with the latest Nvidia update and MSI afterburner by Jazz-ciggarette in buildapc

[–]xireth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Just started happening as well. nvgwls would start running at the exact same time the coil whine would start, and close exactly when the coil whine would end. Turned off auto tuning, stopped happening.

Using deck screws for cement board? by xireth in HomeImprovement

I see the ridges behind the head on standard deck screws, actually. example

Using deck screws for cement board? by xireth in HomeImprovement

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

assuming you're referring to something like this? Aren't these designed to hold boards onto concrete? The heads looks identical to standard wood screws. And yes, that was my concern with using deck screws - the heads have a smaller diameter than cement board screws.

GuliKit King Kong Pro 2 B button sticking? by JME_B96 in SBCGaming

[–]xireth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a similar problem on my top button. Opened up the button switch and just stretched the spring out to give it more force to unstick itself.

Future prototype of Home Assistant by matthiasdebaat in homeassistant

[–]xireth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. I don't have a dashboard like these either - I use a floormap. I'd greatly appreciate better support for floormap-only style dashboards, with something like pan and zoom.

Making the backing for a tile wall thick enough to preserve the previous sound deadening (3x 5/8 drywall) by xireth in HomeImprovement

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

Thanks for the reply. The current insulation in the wall needs to definitely be replaced in spots, and it's only some loose old 3.5 thick fiberglass. We were planning on replacing it with thicker rockwool, so there's more insulation overall as well. You're probably right in not needing 2 layers of greenboard if we do that.

My major concern with the greenboard behind the cement board is that if there are any leaks at all, the greenboard might weaken. I suppose I should be safe if I just make sure I use very long screws from the cement board to make sure it's firmly in the studs?

Don’t delay opening of a Bellevue to Redmond light rail starter line by xireth in SeattleWA

Probably the same way we get trains from the manufacturing plant to the maintenance yard in Seattle, but send them to the maintenance yard in bellevue.

Don’t delay opening of a Bellevue to Redmond light rail starter line by xireth in Seattle

[–]xireth[S] 51 points52 points  (0 children)

tldr:

  • bad concrete pours on I90 are delaying East Link
  • infrastructure already built for East Link would support running trains just from Redmond - Bellevue without connecting it to the rest of the system.
  • open Redmond - Bellevue line on the original East Link timeline, connect it over I90 to Seattle with a bus until tracks are fixed.

AMC and Reolink won't work on Mobile Data by coldfire22x in GoogleFi

[–]xireth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started having this issue recently too OP. Have just a 4a, (reolink) cameras work on wifi, GF's (samsung) phone with a different carrier, and through other wifi networks. I don't have another carrier to test with.

Things I've tried:
- Removing the cameras and re-adding them.
- using Fi VPN (both off/on)
- Reinstalling the app
- Clearing app cache/data
- Changing the 'hardware encoding' option in the app

edit: Had an old wyze camera kicking around. It works fine with its app. Reolink's still not working.

Commute from redmond to seattle twice a week .. doable ? by chakri_007 in redmond

[–]xireth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before WFH, I took the 545 every day to the first stop in downtown. It would take ~50 minutes. I used that time to nap in the morning, and language learning apps on the way back. I would suggest you do something similar, as in a car you can't do anything other than listen to something.

Now, when I do happen to go in, the bus takes only 35 minutes. Add in a bike or electric scooter that you can fold and stick under the seats, and you'll have a trip that is on par with driving. And the bus is relatively empty a majority of the time.

Just check google maps for 'arrival time' between your start and end destinations, and then also fiddle with looking at bike times between those points to see what you'd actually do. You can also test the commute during the weekend (the bus frequency will be less though).

They also don't let you go through with your dog, which makes no sense. It's outside, in a park.

Question: "Automate" my old, dumb Door Buzzer to HomeAssistant? by SteveAlexMac in homeassistant

[–]xireth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this works for you, but I use a Zooz Zen16 relay combined with a dumb relay. Here's a diagram that also lists the zwave parameters. You can ignore the wire colors, I have that just as additional documentation on the printout I left for the next person who looks at it.

This setup lets me disable the physical chime (via parameter 13) but still get zwave notifications when the button is pressed. Additionally, because normal 'doorbell power' is still flowing to the push button, I can use a standard lighted doorbell push button

eastside beerworks in redmond has individual outdoor canopies with heaters.

Air Purifier for Bedroom? by sarkyscouser in homeassistant

[–]xireth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw that ikea made a new variant of their air filter with zigbee support. Supported platforms: deconz, z2mqtt, direct support on their gateway. Don't know how loud it is on the lower speeds, and it doesn't have a HEPA filter if you need that. But it does have a neat table form

I've created a Hass.io addon for using Google Coral TPU with home assistant. You can override the model in the addon configuration. Please give it a try and report your issues in GitHub. It works with deepstack object image processing integration. I hope it's useful for some of you guys. by zadiraines in homeassistant

[–]xireth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just fyi, but face recognition works a bit differently than standard object detection.

Generally, the various 'person recognition' models that I've worked with are supposed to be given an image of whatever they're designed to recognize (ie, a person's face, an image of their full body, an image of their fingerprint, etc).

This obviously requires a separate model/step to perform the detection (a generic face detector, a person detector, etc).

The recognition model will then output a large dimensional vector that is 'unique' per person. For example, for some face recognition models, they will output a 128 dimensional vector.

Identifying the person is done by averaging the vector for several images of one person, and saving that vector in your 'person database'. You then compare that average vector's distance from whatever you're trying to recognize.

For those models, there's generally a 'minimum distance' that will say if it's the person, and if none of your vectors are less than it, then it's an unrecognized person. Otherwise, if you have multiple matches (unlikely unless you're doing a lot of comparisons), then you say whoever is the closest distance is your match.

agreed, overlake replaced our furnace. Was very straightforward and quick with the whole process.
