What's holding you back? Stomp on in there and eat some orcs

Munkisquisher ,

They are tourists, visiting the local cathedrals

Dhs Just take the data from the cloud providers

Munkisquisher ,

Frigate is good too

Next time vote for a government that doesn't want its populace to suffer and die.

Munkisquisher ,

Damn you Finland for knocking NZ down a spot. That alone would hurt your reputation if you weren't so awesome. I could never stay mad at you

Munkisquisher ,

So a victim of human trafficking

I'm glad my cities stadium is built on top of a train station. And that they close lanes of the surrounding roads for pedestrians to walk on when there's a big match

Munkisquisher ,

Same thing here, I checked my settings and they haven't changed

Munkisquisher ,

I had some micropython boards using mqtt to talk to HA, great for sensors, but have switched most to Esphome, it integrates easier into HA.

I've got a wall switch on the coffee grinder that switches off after a min, because otherwise it's power supply humms.

I've got a epaper display on the fridge, battery powered that tells me what type of recycling goes out this week (uses deep sleep mode on esp to wake up every 18hrs, pull info from HA calendar to display, report it's battery state, so we can get a mobile alert to charge it every couple of months)

A esp8266 board that's got 6 relays, hooked up to dampers on the central air conditioning, turns on or off airflow to different rooms.

Power monitoring for the washing machine to send a voice message when the washing machine is done, using Athom Tech plugs that come with Esphome pre installed

Another athom tech plug on our electric blankets, nothing like having them automatically come on and never having to worry about leaving them on (will turn off after 3hrs after they automatically or are manually turned on)

Several accent lights using Esphome powered rgb light strips, could also use wled, but Esphome is good for this too

Munkisquisher ,

Fuck yeah, could go a poutine bender right now

'The one who smelt it delt it'. Aka the Republican 'every accusation is an admission'

Or they got lost in the bush

Even your 4k Netflix is mastered in 2k and uprezed. Often shot in 6k to allow for zooming in in the edit

I'm still rocking the last good plasma panel, the Panasonic VT50 from 2009, it was good enough for 3d review of the first avatar film in meeting rooms and I'm just waiting for it to die so I can upgrade.

Munkisquisher ,

I've done the same with an automation, triggers when wattage goes over a certain value, then waits until the wattage is below 6 for 4min before sending a message. I've also got it choosing from a list of messages at random a json list of random messages in HA automation editor

Munkisquisher ,

What are you using? The athom tech one has been great for about 2 years so far here in NZ with 240v power. And I have a very powerful Asko washer. They have a relay and non relay version, I'm on the relay one.

Munkisquisher ,

I kinda like the segmented out sponsor sections on the side pods with the rest of the livery on top.

Business on the sides, party on top

Munkisquisher ,

So we really need to make gpus out of materials that can glow white hot, slap them over the outside of enormous space data centres, then point them as earth and sell the blinding light as space billboards /s

Munkisquisher ,

Spacex had a team of people who would cosplay as engineers and be enough of a distraction that it would distract him from meddling with anything really important. He's mostly whittled away the leadership that protected the company from him these days

MEGA file-sharing site open letter to Hollywood from founder Kim Dotcom

Saw this earlier, what do you guys think of this? ...

Kim Dotcom Open letter to Hollywood: I won. 90% of Mega’s traffic is piracy, legal piracy. There is nothing you can do about it. 360 million users. Twice the size of Megaupload. I founded it. I gave it encryption on the fly and I made it in a way that New Zealand would protect it. After nearly 15 years my journey in NZ is coming to an end. Next stop Virginia. But you don’t want me there because I will drag you into Court, expose your bribery and make you look stupid. You can have it the easy way and I show you how to make billions with piracy traffic. I can even show you how to survive AI. You have no clue. Or have it the hard way and I will humiliate you. I can do that. Your Jewish clown in New Zealand cannot deliver any income for you. What is he good for? Deliver me? Your biggest problem? You should have made me your friend like I offered when I founded Mega. Here is your last chance to make a deal with me. I have the capacity to forgive and make the next 15 years lucrative for us or I can continue to fight and make the next 15 years painful for you. I have already won. You can be smart or you can be stubborn. Your choice. Let's have a happy ending? Yours, Kim

He's speaking about a previous Prime Minister of NZ. Who's actually secular, but has some Jewish heritage through a grandmother, but was raised Anglican, but really non religious.

Munkisquisher ,

Got a job application this with a one line cover letter "Iam interested to work with u are company" it was kinda refreshing to see that instead of a whole page of slop, like most of them are these days.

Best way to trigger automation with my return home?

I have a few old automations that are designed to unlock my front door, or open my garage door, depending on how I leave. If I ride my bike or car, it opens my garage, if I leave via front door, it opens the front door. Pretty simple. Except!!! I did this in pieces, so it's 2 separate automations. One detects my phone ...

Munkisquisher ,

I have a Bluetooth beacon in my letterbox to help detect I'm coming home. It's a bit of distance and WiFi doesn't reach that far, so I can tell if I'm coming home or leaving based on sequence. The mobile app will report on beacons to HA

    That's one of the signs of LLM output, take any idea and have it flesh it out into short article. It'll bullet point the crap out of it

    Munkisquisher ,

    Not with a bit of data processing. With one tower they can figure out how far away you are. They can track that over time and cross reference that with road layouts when you are moving at highway speeds. Knowing the signal will appear to slow down when you are moving parallel to the cell tower and faster when you are travelling towards or away. Modern antenna designs are also reasonably directional with a tower having banks that point out to cover different quadrants. They know what bank of antennas is facing you.

    The current leader in this space that we use in the film industry (also heavily in games) is Gaea https://quadspinner.com/ it's a node based erosion engine that lets you start with any height field, GIS, something you've sculpted, or even just a few shapes mashed together.

    It's waaaay beyond just layering a few noises together and is so much fun to use. Designed to be procedural, but also art directable, as we have to match artwork and reference of real world locations.

    There's probably some of the nodes that would benefit from being encoded in a ML framework, but not a single step to do it all.

    There's plenty of cybersecurity nerds on Mastodon, I recommend https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog for quality research and equal amounts of shit posting.

    Bing at least provides their imagery as a resource you can use to update osm too. Wonder how that happened and how long it will last

    Munkisquisher ,

    Meetup is now owned by Bending Spoons, who have also enshittified wetransfer, Evernote, eventbrite, AOL, vimeo. They buy decent products that never exploded to ipo status, fire everyone and milk the rest for whatever they can charge.

    Munkisquisher ,

    Shoot it up a bit... Make that a whole lot, first

    Munkisquisher ,

    Everyone else is making deals to partner with Ukraine, Co produce weapons in Ukraine and learn everything they can from the only modern battlefield there is.

    Drumpf is cutting them loose and leaving the US in the last century

    Munkisquisher ,

    There are filters that you just need a little compression to get close to pure nitrogen out of, then a lot of cooling to liquify it.

    Munkisquisher ,

    The merc looks great from above, I hope those stripes don't get watered down by more sponsor logos.

    And really looking forward to another game of "find the flying kiwi logo" on the Mclaren when it gets released.

    Munkisquisher ,

    And in the movies they'd already thrown Saruman off the tower onto the spikey wheel.

    Munkisquisher ,

    You block a printer from making cylinders

    Munkisquisher ,

    There are plenty of oral languages, where the writing only came after contact with missionaries. Māori, and the other Pacific languages, aboriginal etc. And as all other species have some form of oral language, but not written. I'd pretty safe saying that sounds and words long predated the written forms. Unless you know of written only languages that the pronunciation came later?

    Does Prusas textured sheet...work at all?

    I've had a MK4S for over a week now, and 100% of the prints I've tried to make on the textured sheets have partially or totally failed. PLA prints beautifully on the smooth sheet, but PLA, PETG and ABS, I think I could print on the surface of a 10 inch tank of oil with more success than the textured sheet. Plastic doesn't ...

    Munkisquisher ,

    My textured one is perfect for petg, never have sticking issues. With tpu, I need some glue stick as a release agent because it sticks too well.

    I only print pla on the smooth sheet, works well.

    And have had mixed luck with both petg and pla on the satin sheet.

    Have had a very similar experience with the sheets on my mini, and now on the core1

    Munkisquisher ,

    Do it! It's super easy with Frigate addon for home assistant. There's nice blueprints to handle the mobile notifications when you are out.

    When you pay that much for hair plugs, you don't shave it all off

    Munkisquisher ,

    They are shutting down the ISPs so that people can't communicate within the same town and organise protests, it's not just disconnecting from the wider web.

    They're also using military jamming equipment on starlink frequencies too.

    Munkisquisher ,

    It does this from Outlook on android too. It's horrid

    Munkisquisher ,

    Thanks, you're the hero we need in these dark times

    Munkisquisher ,

    Prusa, all day long if you want to be 3d printing. Then build a voron if you want a 3d printer hobby.

    There's 3 peaks for newbies here in the southern hemisphere. New years, end of Feb when the university kids arrive back to start a new year, and September when spring hits and they do the 8 weeks to summer promotions.

    Munkisquisher ,

    Dude here in New Zealand it's about to be the 2nd. We're approaching multiple hangovers in twentysix

    Munkisquisher ,

    My phone (Xperia 1mk6) doesn't support esims in the international version. But I have a physical sim I can load esims onto. Best of both worlds.

    Swap everything on a Sunday for clean, thats towels sheets, teatowel etc. They live on a heated towel rail so dry out well between uses.

    We have a few sets of nice towels, just got two more last year after a decade or so.

    Animal shelters are always keen to take old towels.

    Munkisquisher ,

    I'm fairly tall, 6'2" I quite often meet people much taller than me, that I don't realise are really that tall, because they are more in proportion. So maybe it's a perception problem, that you only notice tall skinny folks and overlook the tall average proportion folk.
