dhcpcd overwrites is. I only have one static address, but DHCP does other stuff too it seems

These are server VMs. I gave up and did chattr +i and it does what I tell it to now.

Part of it the thrill of the hunt. I’ve caught some great deals over the years stalking marketplace.

Got .iso storage after chia crashed
Got a 3090 after Bitcoin asics took over
Got a 5900x when the X3D parts came out

But I’ve never seen decent RAM for sale, only single sticks or slow kits.

That’s what I like about the hiks I have. They are configurable from the web browser. Some of my amcrest I had to bang an API over curl to keep the time zone set

My amcrest cameras have been good, but hikvision has been even better. They’re sneaky though so make sure they’re on an isolated vlan.

That would make the husk of the company truly worthless, and I’m not sure private equity will allow that.

And all of the appliances and fixtures are “builder grade” which means they last 10 years and 1 week. Dripping faucets, fiddley light switches, stuck heat pump reversing valves, leaking water heaters.

It’s not like a new car where teething problems are resolved in the first year. You won’t know that your foundation is going to settle for several years, or that the vent boots on the roof leak a little bit until the sheathing rots enough for the drips to hit sheetrock.

Yeah and your $800/mo new car with leather seats gets 6 miles per gallon more than the paid off base model. ExxonMobile is practically paying you now!

I agree, but that fraction is 3/2 🤣

I tacked a CT onto my sprinkler esp so the Mrs can be certain she turned everything off, so I’ve been living with this

I have 3 Kauf RGB switches that I use for garage door interfaces spread through the house. Off means closed, orange means reed switch and range sensor don’t agree (moving), white means open, red means fail to close.

The little corner light is for the pedestrian door.

The garage door itself has a konnected gdo.

Spiders like to obscure the range sensor ~twice a year, and it probably best practice to not have all the inputs coming from one device. One day I’ll move the reed switch to the i4 dc shelly that reads the door switches. Maybe try ratgdo, the clone/knockoff I bought was not very reliable.

That is a weird combo. And designed to lock you into their ecosystem. Absolutely proprietary.

This one runs BTHome, part of the Open Home Foundation. I have two mmWave presence sensors from the same company. They offer tasmota and esphome firmwares for them, I chose ESPHome. It’s been great.

Probably every 2 months. When I have a day off work with nothing to do. I have a few VMs that are more fragile than I want to admit and if something breaks I want to have time to tinker instead of just restoring a backup.

Esphome based, so the learning curve it kinda steep of you just want a simple on/off bulb BUT it will open your eyes to what’s possible. This also avoids zigbee and z-wave. The state of those Z radios is so bad that Home Assistant released their own.

I really hope the current production isn’t vulnerable to an 8 year old exploit.
