I don’t think this is true because Im not sure Section 31 even counts as Star Trek

Damn it. This is one of my favourite bands. What’s the protocol here, am I still allowed to like them? What if they get a new drummer?

Like the author of that article, I had never heard about Huginn until just now, but when IFTTT went down the shitter for me (around 2018) was about the same time I started using Home Assistant. I found that HA had every one of the service connections available that I used to use through IFTTT, so I naturally just re-implemented all of my flows as automations. HA has only added capabilities since those earlier days. It’s not just for “home” automation.

If you’re interested in more graphical representations of your automations, HA can have NodeRed as a plug-in.

The elephant in the room…

If I could not just migrate to a new instance, but actually convert my existing (self-hosted, single-user) Mastodon instance to a GoToSocial instance, I would do it tomorrow. I don’t want to lose the domain I picked for my Mastodon instance though.

I remember seeing somebody working on a project to convert the Mastodon database to a GTS database, so this may yet happen.

Edit: Found it. It was an issue in the GTS GitHub repo: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues/128

I’m no international law expert but I don’t think that follows the Geneva convention.

Weird. Do you think, and I’m just going to throw this out there, that there might be some correlation between the rate of vaccinations within a population and that population’s resistance to disease?

Exactly my feelings when I heard “Smells Like Teen Spirit” called “classic rock” a few years ago.

Create a docker container without explicitly naming it. Job done.

Has anyone here installed friendica? I tried to give it a go yesterday with the the docker image. The login page is showing up, but it is giving me HTTP 500 errors when I click sign up I also get no errors in any logs.

The Porg?

A person’s state becomes the name of the zone when they’re in them.

In the current version of Home Assistant, if a person is in two overlapping zones, what happens? It’s possible to be in that state today.

I suppose it doesn’t really matter though. I’ve named all my home zones similarly: home1, home2, etc. It would be easy enough to check for a zone where the object_id starts with “home”

I…honestly thought I just did that. I want to have an irregularly-shaped zone. I don’t see why they couldn’t logically be grouped, you just aren’t able to do it right now.

Anyway, thanks for reading what I typed.

I am pretty sure I’m not confused. I want to group zones together so they can be used in automation triggers and I can change the group’s membership and not have to change every automation trigger. The group’s state should indicate the number of person entities that were in any zone in the group.

I’m not talking about areas at all.

Just to be clear, I don’t believe grouping zones is currently possible. It’s just a want I have.

You don’t get the choice to use more than one zone as your official “home” zone though, do you?

Like when you create a zone, it’s a circle. It has a radius. I want a zone that is an arbitrary shape, so I compose it out of several smaller zones. I want to formally make it a single zone in Home Assistant by grouping them. Currently you can’t add zones to groups or create a zone with type: group or anything like that.

This is the way. Web client to MPV Shim for local playback.

This is giving me Punch Out vibes. Little Mac vs King Hippo.

I guess I’ll never know what the kids are saying ever again because there’s no way I’m installing either of those apps.
