@forest edge yea, moved to darsky a year ago and now I need to find another weather provider...

@strange vapor I hadn't even heard of it until yesterday

@forest edge I use only api, so I have time, but why to spend more time with them? And on my mobile phone I use Morecast - it has a pretty good weather radar that is a must for any outdoor activity (now it is not very important, but normally it is)

5\12v is pretty safe, but if you want to wire them into mains you would need a buck of some sorts

Spain is also where lots of brits go

oh, no i don't. i have a kind of sickness when i reach Apple's and even tho it's now "open" i still won't use it ๐Ÿ˜„

so i wont miss out on anything when i buy a amd laptop without tb3 port

that was my only factor that could hold me back from buying one

as long as it has usb3/c you can do anything, literally

@brisk sedge i discovered HA when my gf wasn't switching off the lights as soon as she was leaving the room. turned out that now i consume more power than before due to every devices in idle plus the little server running.. but it's still worth it

42U rack

#

in your SM room?

#

enough slots to tie something to it

tawny pebble
#

@brisk sedge well, hard topic.. if you use to waste electricity because you leave everything always ON, then with some automations you can fix that. Like turning off lights when not needed, or some plugs off like the TVs and other devices... But still, anything you plug to the power and connect to wifi, even if minimal, they consume something.
1 watt here, 1 there ...

what device do you run it on @tawny pebble

@clever mortar ok. Ill try. Just i been stuck for a week now

clear ferry

my parents house has it, that is 500m2 roughly, but they have the sub panels in the parts of the house they rent out, so that they tenants can be charged the correct amount

#

they have a 100 and a 50 m2 apartment in their house

#

if it is a whole house with no rented parts we never have subpanels

#

just one big fusebox

Large houses/guesthouse, large garage sub panel is common. I like it so how I screw around with out bringing down the house.

glad i was able to actually buy butchered meat this week!

clear ferry
#

I think I buy butcher meat like four times per year

clever mortar
#

We have a good local butcher and usually buy something every few weeks. They've got no supply issue - unlike the supermarkets that seem to struggle.

strange vapor
#

Here, a lot of butchers, or small groups of butchers, run their own abattoirs and get their produce locally. They also generally have farmers who they deal with, so the supply lines are good. Some of the bigger plants which supply fast food joints are having a hard time of it at the moment.

#

Funnily enough, the "lower quality" meat used to make fast food burgers is also some of the most profitable for the factories.

clever mortar
#

Yeah, our local butcher has their own supply chain, which explains lots ๐Ÿ™‚

#

Not least of which is that the meat is always good - unlike other places

clever mortar
#

I've got one of their older chargers, and a bunch of cables, and some of their headphones

midnight adder
#

Everybody learns differently

#

Last day of school for me I was 18 ppBear

clever mortar
#

I know folks that can't learn anything from "study", but learn insanely fast when it's hands-on

midnight adder
#

im doubting about doing a phd

#

but that wont get me anywhere i guess

clever mortar
#

It might - depends on your goals

midnight adder
#

okay so to make it more cliche

#

i want my own company and get wealthy

clever mortar
#

Unlikely to help with either of those

midnight adder
#

yet i got adviced first to graduate and get my title

#

I have a PhD, pretty cool homeoffice desk

#

Own company๐Ÿคข

#

I hate people

clever mortar
#

I know folks running successful companies who've barely made it out of school with anything

clear ferry
#

That'll never work out

midnight adder
#

@clever mortar where to get started ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

clear ferry
#

Most of the really smart people I know have at most a vocational degree, I know a lot of stupid people with multiple bachelor or masters

clever mortar
#

Any company starts by finding a thing you can do that others will pay for ๐Ÿ˜‰

midnight adder
#

i know i could stop after high school, yet this is just to make sure when i fail i can still start anywhere to work

#

Being good at something, or multiple things, or everything helps a lot catparty

midnight adder
#

miflora with zigbee would be great

#

ye, I'm not sure why xiaomi has both ble and zigbee stuff in their ranges

midnight adder

Because Xiaomi is just a meta-brand to sell different products from smaller companies
