Where the hell was Theoden when the Westfield fell??

That irks me about the movies, why was Theoden pissed about that when the reason Gondor never showed up is because he was entranced and never called for aid. :⁠-⁠\

What technology purchase felt like a major upgrade in your life? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] besmtt@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Totally agree; I hate pooping without it. Though I did upgrade a while back from a $20-30 one to this: https://luxebidet.com/pages/neo-185-plus-highlights

I took the old one off to really clean it and that sold me on this new flip up one.

Can someone give me advice on vacuum cleaners? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

These very well could be out of your price range, but I really encourage you to consider a robot vacuum. https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots.html

I got my first one back in 2017 and they're wonderful.

I've had three Yale deadbolts for 6+ years and I've never had an issue to where I wished they had a keyway. I love them.

That's not "Windscribe as my VPN", it's a VPN to Windscribe's servers.

You want to setup a VPN to your home network. This is one option: https://tailscale.com/

Take a fist full of gummies then go out and hold onto a tree.

Tracking the temperature drop during the eclipse with Home Assistant! (lemmy.world)
 

I've got a weather station outside and I use this add on to bring it into HA. We only had 79.8% coverage during the eclipse, but there was a noticeable drop in temperature!

Cloud services for controlling things inside your house are the worst (github.com)
 

I recently moved away from MyQ to local control of my garage door and I've been loving it. I stumbled across the linked issue where MyQ shit the bed for roughly 3 days and it just confirms to me that the extra effort to move away from a cloud service was worth it. I'm down to just one last cloud service for something inside my house. My mind is pretty much made up that if I can't accomplish it locally, I won't do/use it.

The ratgdo local-only replacement for myQ is fantastically easy to setup (paulwieland.github.io)
 

I just setup ratgdo on my Chamberlain garage door opener and it was great. Flashing it via Chrome and configuration was easy, Home Assistant picked it up via MQTT immediately, and wiring it up was simple. All around a great experience and well worth the money. I'll keep myQ around for a few days, but if no issues crop up, I'll be kicking it to the curb soon.
