I haven’t finished setting it up yet, so I can’t offer an opinion yet, but the way I’ve gone is a doorbell with electric lock control- mine does 2 locks, and you can set the 2nd lock to be a doorbell instead. The ‘doorbell’ output is a contact closure, which I just wired to a standard doorbell chime. Network down means I still have a doorbell.

And their primary defence is crushing the skulls of their enemies against the roof of their burrow. Using their butt.

Half finished projects.

That’s a big bet on the RAM modules. If LPCAMM2 doesn’t take off, one of the most likely upgrade paths is going to be a lot more expensive.

I think avoiding containers is the way I’m going to go on my next attempt. I’ll still have to put it in an lxc or a VM on my proxmox, but all in one will hopefully reduce some problems. The sonarr/radarr split was what I was referring to with the above or below an hour comment.

I hate how fragmented they are. I’ve given up on various guides out there for ‘setting up the arr stack’ because of getting bogged down in since miniature detail that, IMHO, shouldn’t even be a thing. I get that hosting seperate services has advantages. But the disadvantage of giving up on the whole thing because you have to sort out networking and file permission issues between the service that downloads video files over an hour long and the service that downloads video files under an hour outweighs those advantages.

Thingiverse is great, but the real benefit of a 3d printer for me is the super-custom stuff. The gap between my kitchen sink and wall is pretty small, so I designed and printed a sponge caddy that sits in there perfectly, and drains into the sink. My sunnies didn’t fit into the holder in my car, so I designed and printed a little clip with a holder on it that fits in really nicely.

Oi fark orf ya caaant, no ones farking getting off on dis shit ay.

The weird part is the government are trying to get the children to stay away, rather than track down the pedophiles.

I was entirely confused for a moment- I think you might be getting an echocardiogram, rather than an electrocardiogram. If you could hear an electrocardiogram, there would be something seriously wrong with their machine- It’s meant to be a passive electrical measurement. Echo on the other hand is exactly what you described, an ultrasound of the heart.

I was actually thinking you might have a strong interoception, which is when people have an awareness of their own heartbeat signals- super rare but super cool.

Telstra in Australia were at one stage providing routers to homes with a hidden SSID for their premium ‘public’ wifi.

I think it was solidly isolated from the home wifi, and did not eat into the homes speed quota, but still…

The location of light switches relative to the light.

Don’t even need an Opal card- just tap your phone or your bank card.

The network is also massive. You can tap on in Kiama and tap off in Scone. That’s about 400km, roughly equivalent to Berlin to Frankfurt, on regular metro trains. Might take a while, but you can do it.

Am I in the minority, thinking that the London Underground is actually pretty amazing? Wherever I was across the huge area the city takes up, I rarely needed to check a timetable- There would be a station within walking distance, I could be relatively confident that a train would turn up within fifteen minutes and get me to basically anywhere in London in fairly short order.

Give me 2, but less mirrors- I’ve spent enough time in hotel lobbies, thank you. But if it were more theatre lobby than hotel lobby, I’m all for it.

It’s no longer accessible from a desktop, only from the Google Maps app.

Minecraft is secretly bringing metric to the next generation.

I’m just going to start saying ‘blocks’ instead of metres to the youth from now on. I’ll get them used to it, then casually mention ‘kiloblocks’ one day and watch their face as they realise.

Cycling helmets should not be mandated. If someone is dumb enough to cycle without one, that’s on them.

I believe significantly more people would cycle if helmets were not required by law.

The natural extension of this is that everyone should live in one big megacity. Is this what you want?
