I use chore-helper for Home Assistant for that. I chose it because I like the "after x days" vs. the classic "every x days" approach. If I forgot to clean the shower for over a week there is no point to have a reminder the next day after I finally did it, but I want it to happen x days later no matter how long I dragged the previous task.

It hasn't received updates in ages though and can be quite slow and complicated to manage. I want to have a look in ChoreOps to replace it.

I haven't watched the video (yet). Here are my guesses:

  • It gets dark (obviously).
  • It gets cold.
  • Astronomers get excited.
  • The missing pressure from sunlight will somehow mess up the planet's rotation around the sun or our atmosphere.

The basic workflow of network troubleshooting is:

  1. Check if it's a DNS problem
  2. If not, check why it is a DNS problem anyway, but you failed to recognize it.

I feel tricked…

You could use a classic dead man switch: Place several buttons around the whole place - basically everywhere except in the shower. Once you stop pressing any of these buttons for - let's say - 30 seconds you can assume you're taking a shower.

You could also use the drain pipe if the actual water pipe is harder to reach. It would even work against false positives (I can clearly hear the washing machine letting in water through my water pipes)…

You are not the only one - you're still overreacting. The use of emojis does not make it AI generated. At least try to find some other hints before accusing a possible real person of something.

Let them think it. All those experts seeing AI everywhere can live under their rock and stay there. Recently an artist I personally know was criticized for using AI in his artwork - oil paintings each one signed by hand. Photographed in a way you can see it's real paint and a real place for the last 20 years. It annoys me more to see all these accusations being placed without having looked at it even one bit further.

This is something your domain provider has to offer to you. It is usually a paid service. Not all TLDs allow it though - so depending on your domain ending you might be out of luck. I don't know your intentions, but if you want to evade prosecution because of the traffic going through your TOR node this will not work. Even with whois privacy enabled your provider must disclose your identity to prosecution. Even if they weren't the A record (IP address) of your domain would link the domain to your server and would open another way to identify you through your hosting provider or ISP.

The extension extrapolates the dislikes based on the YouTube like counter and the ratio of extension users who liked and disliked the video. So the dislike count is based on the extension user's opinion. While I am sure the dislikes overwhelm the likes, I don't think that this is a representation of the real data.

I run a lot of services on a single old NUC I got for less than 100 dollars. I added some RAM (back then when you could buy some) and a new NVMe stick later when, but since then this single machine could handle all I asked it to do.

I'd rather have a happy and productive maintainer than a burnout and an orphaned project. Either way forks can be made at any point - so if you don't like the use of AI just fork it or don't update any more and stay happy. No need to get mad at each other.

 

I am looking for a solution to collaborative PDF editing (mostly annotations). I already have a Nextcloud installation with Office for several members so it would be great if it could be integrated, but it is not necessary.

What I mainly want is the possibility to add and view annotations made by several users on the same file at the same time.

Do you have a suggestion?

I would like to share some device replacement stories. At the moment I use Freestyle Libre 3 and my daughter uses Dexcom G6.

I have used Freestyle Libre 1 and 2 before and for the first version they always wanted me to call a hotline, but I could convince them to allow me to just send an email with all the information they were asking at the hotline.

To replace a FSL2 they had an online form, which required a lot of information, but when filled out properly they sent an replacement.

When I need a replacement sensor for my current Freestyle Libre 3 I just have to fill out a form which asks me to enter the serial number and how long I have used the sensor. Sometimes they want the defective sensor back, but most of the time that's it.

On the contrast to get a Dexcom G6 replacement I have to fill out an online form which will not accept valid inputs (my mail address I successfully use for my Dexcom account is not accepted in the mail field). The form asks a lot of information (e.g. two different serial numbers). When filled out and submitted Dexcom then calls me (but not on the number I provided in the form) to confirm every entry I just did and ask some more questions. And the they send the replacement.

That is so annoying - even somewhat humiliating - and unnecessary. Obviously Abbott has looked at the success rates of their hotline and decided to just ask less questions and save a lot of money trying to catch the few fraudsters they prevented getting a replacement before. I am pretty sure they didn't do this because they were worried about me, but because they realized it would be cheaper to just skip this, but nonetheless it makes me a happier customer.

Do you have other replacement stories / policies you encountered and want to share?

 

I am currently using Bring! with my wife to organize our grocery shopping. I am looking for a self hosted alternative. I looked at the awesome self-hosted list and tried Specifically Clementines and of course Grocy. I like that Grocy also includes meal planning although the whole inventory management is too much for us. What I don't like is the interface for both of them. I don't see us using this while in the store with a kid on the arm. It is way too fiddly and complicated. Also adding new items to the list is rather complicated in both apps.

Do you have any suggestions for other projects with a more user friendly interface (even if it means less features)?
