Utah did something similar...... it's just dumb how much unchecked power we've allowed governments.

Shit no deals with Boeing, Northrup Grumman, etc.

Oh well, I'm certain they won't bribe Congress to force their deals through..... /s

Those are just fake vests bought specially for that purpose. Nobody would think to take off their actual vest at the last gathering for the school year.

You only have to do that the next 30-40 years of your life if you live the next 30-40 years...... just saying.

It could be worse, you could have to work the next 60 years.

Correcting the reviewer.
Notes: "should of" isn't valid, should implies a verb, of isn't a verb. I expect you meant "should have". Please recall this in future submissions.

Terrible journalism. He was sleep deprived after having taken mushrooms 48hrs before, and not slept for 40hrs.

Plant manager sending out a site wide email saying that we're doing awesome, and we're desperately hiring so refer all your friends. One month after layoffs were announced, and those to be layed off still had a month to go.

True, but have you considered the fact that they are "free" and beat the commies? /s

Sure there are places houses aren't insanely expensive, but they are generally many hundreds of miles away from where there are jobs available that may pay enough to purchase said house.

Having lived in Europe it amazes me how many Europeans believe that because it's still in the country, it's not all that far. But if you compare directly a few hundred miles is usually in another country in Europe, where in the USA it's more often still in the same state.

Consentually...... Sounds like a great way for a corporation to groom individuals into people who accept less than a liveable wage.

I don't see anything that helps capitalism being done "responsibly". It's all done in the pursuit of all the money, and as soon as possible. Only rule is don't break laws that have consequences higher than the profits gained.

Thermostat questions (partizle.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by ironhydroxide@partizle.com to c/homeassistant@lemmy.world

I'm looking to replace a "dumb" thermostat in my house. My biggest problem is, the Family (well MIL) will be the primary user of said thermostat. Were it up to me, i'd just duplicate the setup I have in my detached garage (ESP32 and 4channel relay board, with remote temp sensors).
My second biggest problem is many of the smart thermostats requiring internet access and control only being available through their External API. Ideally I'd like something that is 100% local control, with opt in for any remote data.

What setups do you have? do you like it? is it "normal" person friendly?

That a multi-national medical device company has no spare parts program for it's machines, and uses Excel sheets exclusively for performance tracking.

I've recently decided to up my security, but I don't want it to be an annoyance for the family to use. I also have an aversion to web hosted things, so I'd like something that is locally hosted/controlled, without a "Setup app"

I'm open to deadbolt and regular latch smart locks.

What options are out there? what do you use? do you like it?

Also the fact that if you use a shared machine at all to login, it's best practice to intentionally log out of everything, and clear cookies/cache when you're done.

I've recently been trying to degoogle myself, and in doing so I'm going to need another email. I tried ProtonMail, but apparently only business accounts can use SMTP, even though their features claim SMTP access. I'm plenty fine paying for the service, but going from the $6/month to $12/month just to get notification emails from my server doesn't seem worth it to me. I've not looked into what all else comes with Proton's Business features, but i'm not really running a business or trying to start one up.

What do you use? do you like it? How's the cost/features?

I’ve recently decided to try and degoogle my life, or at least lessgoogle it. One app I use regularly is GoogleVoice. It works really well to keep my work and personal phone numbers separated. Also works reasonably well to keep my personal number clean from spam.

I'm looking for a mobile app (android) that provides similar functionality, What options do you know of that may fill this gap?

I've asked in Android@lemmy.world, but thought that i'd get more FOSS suggestions here.

I'll start out saying, i'm not very good with this stuff.... I have an Ender 5+.
I had it setup with octoprint and klipper from a guide I found a couple years ago, and it worked OK for me to get klipper installed, working on octoprint, and pressure advance tuned ok ish.

Recently my SD Card became corrupt, and like an idiot I didn't have anything backed up.

So I'm trying to setup the system again from less than scratch and it's kicking my ass.

I've decided i'd like to try Mainsail, as it's interface looks interesting (no other reason) But I can't for the life of me get it working.

EVERY guide I try and follow seems to fail on the connect between klipper and the printer.

I can flash the klipper firmware successfully, and have updated the port ID in the printer.cfg file, but it always comes back to klipper not being able to see/access the port.

Any help would be appreciated here.
