  • Yeah, it’s all about regular contributions… I was down (up?) to #120’s a while back, but I’ve not been travelling recently, so it’s slipping away.

    But yeah, 341 active days… probably over a ~3 years?

    What I tend to do now is, if I visit a nice cafe / restaurant / shop, I’ll check if it’s there and edit the opening times, etc… or even add the business if it didn’t exist.

    They’re good to me, I’m good to them





  • Thanks

    Hmmm… my office is 50~60%:

    At 55% relative humidity, the swamp cooler will be able to drop the temperature from 90°F to 81°F. That’s a -9°F drop.

    So, it’ll be able to drop 32°C to 27°C…

    Looks like I might have to look for a different solution… or have a higher electricity bill by running a dehumidifier too.



  • The roof above my head is probably close to 40DegC, but I put 150mm insulation in, so it’s not toooo bad at the mo

    That’s where the external heat’s coming from.

    The internal heat is me, a laptop under heavy load (corp security = noticable% CPU), some monitors and the NAS (which is now on automated power on / off cycles to reduce heat)

    But yeah, we have no AC. We only have a few weeks in the year like this - at scattered random times - so it’s not worth installing. Next week we might be back down to 15DegC

    And if I put a unit in my window then I’ll basically be living in a dungeon.







  • I agree they have some interest, I learn that these devices even exist, whether I’m going to buy or not.

    I’m also not going to look for 1 or 2 interesting posts in amongst many more ads.

    Maybe if the seller just posts with their ebay / wherever link and we keep the selling elsewhere, then any discussions of whether they’ll post to exotic locations aren’t diluting here?

    Not sure if businesses will be more obvious that way…?


  • I agree, this pretty much covers all the points.

    I do full disk backups of HA, Zigbee2Mqtt, etc every now & again as well as backups before updates.

    And I don’t so updates when I’m in a rush - that angers the bug gods who strike my systems down with system faults.

    Do it on a Saturday morning and it all goes smoooooothly
