Happy cake day. I was asking, before I dive into the hunt, if you saw any docs for doing the same sort of firmware update / swap for plain old irobot vacuums.

Idk how motivated to be to go do this. Just started reading about valetudo.

COA => course of action

Is this a COA for irobot Roombas?

Yep. I’ve got Hispanic friends (I don’t live too far from Chicago) and a friend with a trans daughter who are all trying to move and figure out how to live. But then I log in here and get to hear about how the moral and righteous thing to do is sit on the couch and do jack shit until someone brings “a candidate worth voting for”. Those goddam towels are always just a little too far away.

Because that’s the sane thing to do.

If you think Trump is worse than Harris but didn’t vote for Harris then you deserve the stupid bed you helped make us all sleep in. 🤷

Edit:

Always happy to get the overnight downvotes from the euro brigade. The true experts of US electoral politics. Thanks guys!

Big if. That’s a trial and error journey unless some of the tools are part of your job description.

Edit: downvoted by Linus Torvalds I guess. Can’t even follow a video and hope it’s right unless you just duplicate a setup

I understand how pragmatism works. You can play by the rules against cheaters all you want, but even if the smell of your own farts is nice it doesn’t lead to any progress of any kind.

Abuse the “rules” until everybody agrees it’s illegal.

They go low, kick them in the fucking teeth.

Is there a set of keywords or tutorial video or something I could look at for this? It sounds like the right way to add smarts to dumb devices. I unfortunately don’t know much about hardware and the only esp I’ve ever used is a 32 and I direct followed a tutorial for room assistant to set it up but I have 0 idea how it works.

😡👍

For the next 12 hours, every hour roll a constitution check against 1d4 of gastrointestinal damage.

Being contrarian is more engaging.

Couldn’t say, for me it was way way easier than ESXI which was my first break into the space. And also more complete / straightforward than bare metal which was what I had been doing before unraid.

I paid for the lifetime license. No regrets.

Because it’s easy and does all the hard stuff out of the box? Also any sized drives!

Oh hi I picked up Linux for the CLI and shell and the UI for me has nothing to do with it.

There is no easy way to break into the scene and unraid is a one stop shop. So you want to set up a few little projects on your own? It’s learning containerization, learning networking and NAT, figuring out filesystems (and shares and share locations) and backup strategies, how to integrate with VPN, deployment strategies and templates (think Ansible, docker compose, make scripts, etc). There’s a shitload to know and not a “for dummies” place to learn it.

Considering the “easy” first project of ARR suite + jackett, integrate with transmission, and integrate with jellyfin or Plex: this is not a couple hours of work if you’ve never done it before. With unraid it’s probably one video tutorial and less than an hour? Idk I haven’t done that one yet. But it’s a common request.

There are a lot of things that need to hang together for a good homelab to work, and unraid for me has made it so I don’t have to spend all my time doing plumbing and background work to try a project and see if I even want to use it.

I would absolutely do a 101 on self hosting, but it seems everybody has different priorities on what to host and how so it’s probably not cut and dry to implement.

His name is Jamie Raskin not Jeremy is the point.

Who TF is “Jeremy Raskin”.

Can we proofread at least a little better rawstory?

Bag for holding:

It’s a bag of holding but instead of occupying a bag slot it must be kept in the main hand.

@shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip you may also want an additional automation to start your ac at a particular time and reset the timer if you are concerned about drift in your AC schedule. I could see, for example, ensuring that it’s running before you go to bed so it’s cool for example.

Definitely multiple automations is the answer, this is almost exactly how I manage my hydroponic tower, except that I don’t worry about the timer and I give it a manual run if I reboot (or don’t. the plants can go a few hours without running the pump).

Yep. My home assistant production deploy is on a separate rpi, same as my pihole, and I’ve promoted out a few other services out of unraid. As an almost 40 father of 2 with a full time gig, I don’t want to dick around with experiments that interrupt the rest of the family and I also don’t want to spend a year of “30 mins before bed” to figure out how to deploy a service I’m not even sure I want to use long term.

Exactly. I like doing clever scripting and neat one off projects, I don’t like having to become a networking expert, a containerization expert, a hardware expert, and an integration expert so my wife can reliably watch law and order.

I can roll a custom arch build no problem, but I can not set up custom vlan or nat rules or easily swap to a new file system with baked in snapshots or tell you anything about how my GPU compares to anything on the market or how to make it reliably perform hardware acceleration. I would be happy to learn those skills, but sometimes it’s all just too much.

If I’m gonna do it, I want to do it. If I need to verbatim copy someone’s YouTube video where I use proxmox to use someone’s Ubuntu KDE VM to set up couch potato, I’d rather just use unraid and not pretend I’m a FOSSing haxor :).
