I agree it's an automation, I don't agree with it being "smart". What I like about my thermostat timer is that it's simple, local, and requires nothing else. No networking, no app, no maintenance over changing the timer…
I definitely like the idea, and I do think it's cool. But I just can bothered with the complexity and the fact it needs to be maintained and networked, etc. Also yaml...
Timers are "smart" now? I just though they were timers. Does the timer on my cooker, so I don't need to set an external timer, make my cooker smart too? Is my outside light over my bins "smart" because it's connected to…
I just either do that manually or, better yet, make them do it.
I can assure you there's nothing smart about my 15 year old boiler and it's thermostat supports that functionality externally, though the name escapes me it looks like this [0]. No need for any fancy nonsense,…
Beyond the "cool" factor I'm with you. I don't know what the benefits would be but I can definitely see it being a pain to maintain and the extra cost in both time and money for running these automation do not seem…
I've never got the reason for home automation over setting the heating to come on half hour before I get out of bed in the winter. I'm quite happy manually turning on lights, etc; and keeping things simple and off line.…
I would like further detail about this also. I suspect that SQLite wasn't choking and it was something else. I cannot imagine a single home being able to overwhelm SQLite [0]. Unless the OP has a couple thousand devices…
No the laptops met my needs perfectly. They were cheap, and they ran fully up to date operating systems and the latest software. The issues with the university are issues with the university.
I am not a developer by trade but being technically capable I inherited a system once that I kept running beyond its real lifespan. Eventually it was to be replaced and an outside company was contracted to develop a new…
I never buy new laptops, and I always put linux on the ones I do buy. My only issues have been running the more resource intensive applications I needed to run as a student, and the fact that the university expects you…
I love SQL. I'm not a full-time developer but always use SQL over other abstractions, which I find extremely confusing and way more complicated that plain SQL.
Donnie Darko style.
I have no clue about maths beyond extremely basic stuff, but am fascinated by this sort of thing, and I need pictures to understand stuff like this. What an excellent video. During it, when they introduced how you can…
For local network sharing between my devices I tend to use LocalSend [0] which is absolutely brilliant, pretty much replaced my USB stick for transferring files/folders between devices on the same network. [0]…
Out of interest, why use this over rsync?
