No plug! It was just a PCI card with breakout cables. (Which I should definitely track down soon!)

I still have my PCI 0404 somewhere. I should really work out where, before it gets accidentally binned!

It definitely threw me the first time I was out of the house.
I decided the best solution was just to limit alerts to non-sensitive things.
While I’m generally very big on privacy, I really don’t give a monkeys if Apple/Google is relaying a message that says “Cat in garden!”

Does he also do that thing where people buy out a company using debt loaded onto the company they’re buying?

Mike Ashley didn’t actually want a game shop, he wanted people spending £70 on each football/COD release, then buying that season’s team strip on the way out of the shop.

Thanks for the post, it persuaded me to get off my bottom and add another one to the list.

I’m not sure if there is a way to quickly find this. The best bet is probably trying the bigger instances, and seeing if it’s accessible through them.

You’ve made me think now: it might be a nice project for a some instance admins to flag when an instance they had received posts from goes offline. (I should probably check what I have from feddit.de!)

I can absolutely see that happening in vsphere.

Flushable rapid-set concrete.

And eventually, 10 years and over £100 for a domain you’ll never use.
It’s me. Too many domains I have no idea what to do with.

Somebody stop her!

This is a really nice guide, and covers everything from source source to sea, so to speak.
Ideal for someone installing for the first time, thanks for sharing!

feddit.uk clocks in at under £40/month. That’s hosting, and backups. lemmy.zip is similar.

Plus our time, but we’re obviously doing it as a labour of love.

Massive love for Reaper. One of the few bits of software I’m happy to pay for each time I’ve had my 3 future versions, or whatever it is.

Plus you’re not locked into contracts and bundles.

Yet…

I can absolutely see that as the next step once people get comfortable rotating.

Which British accent? Westcountry or Scouse, you probably have a point.

Security wise, while I love automating everything, I personally would just give them a physical key to the front door. (Or an RFID keyfob system).
What you’d be achieving is the equivalent of keyless car entry, with the additional downside that your son can’t choose not to open the door if something sketchy happens.
And instead of entrusting them with a traditional key that they can treat responsibly, you’re just putting something in their backpack that they don’t have to think about.

If you really want to do it, basically anything in homeassistant that has wireless capability and a state would probably work.
A zigbee radio, and pretty much any device doing anything would do it.
When device_name becomes available, activate door opening.

That’s a pretty neat bit of kit. If they did it in metric sizes, I’d be tempted.

Your meter may have some kind of magnetic flux that occurs as the dial spins, which you might be able to sense and interpret.

I’m curious to hear what people come up with, as I quite fancy one too.

I would be wary of installing anything that actually touches the water that doesn’t come from an accredited manufacturer, however. As you don’t want Ali-express grade metal in your drinking water.

Which unfortunately means the options will be either expensive, or building off the back of other equipment currently installed (water meter, etc).
