Points for imagination! That’s somebody’s next album cover.

What this article didn’t say was that Tod Maffin (the organizer) used to work for the CBC (where the article was written). He was a technology columnist for CBC radio. I actually met him a couple of times when he was on my side of the country (Nova Scotia).

I don’t think this is true because Im not sure Section 31 even counts as Star Trek

Damn it. This is one of my favourite bands. What’s the protocol here, am I still allowed to like them? What if they get a new drummer?

The elephant in the room…

I’m no international law expert but I don’t think that follows the Geneva convention.

Weird. Do you think, and I’m just going to throw this out there, that there might be some correlation between the rate of vaccinations within a population and that population’s resistance to disease?

Has anyone here installed friendica? I tried to give it a go yesterday with the the docker image. The login page is showing up, but it is giving me HTTP 500 errors when I click sign up I also get no errors in any logs.

The Porg?

A person’s state becomes the name of the zone when they’re in them.

In the current version of Home Assistant, if a person is in two overlapping zones, what happens? It’s possible to be in that state today.

I suppose it doesn’t really matter though. I’ve named all my home zones similarly: home1, home2, etc. It would be easy enough to check for a zone where the object_id starts with “home”

I…honestly thought I just did that. I want to have an irregularly-shaped zone. I don’t see why they couldn’t logically be grouped, you just aren’t able to do it right now.

Anyway, thanks for reading what I typed.

I am pretty sure I’m not confused. I want to group zones together so they can be used in automation triggers and I can change the group’s membership and not have to change every automation trigger. The group’s state should indicate the number of person entities that were in any zone in the group.

I’m not talking about areas at all.

Just to be clear, I don’t believe grouping zones is currently possible. It’s just a want I have.

You don’t get the choice to use more than one zone as your official “home” zone though, do you?

Like when you create a zone, it’s a circle. It has a radius. I want a zone that is an arbitrary shape, so I compose it out of several smaller zones. I want to formally make it a single zone in Home Assistant by grouping them. Currently you can’t add zones to groups or create a zone with type: group or anything like that.

This is the way. Web client to MPV Shim for local playback.

This is giving me Punch Out vibes. Little Mac vs King Hippo.

I guess I’ll never know what the kids are saying ever again because there’s no way I’m installing either of those apps.

I wish the web interface let you sort the sub categories both ways. I have a series of subcategories of Year/month that I’m using as a journal and the longer I keep writing, the further have to scroll down :/

I can already do this on my Samsung Galaxy S23. Has this been a Samsung-only thing?

That being said, Samsung’s Bluetooth UI leaves much to be desired, IMO.

Edit: Granted, it doesn’t work exactly as described in the article, but I can have multiple BT speakers playing the same content from my phone.

A girl walks into a bar and says to the bartender, “I’d like a double entendre.”

So he gives it to her.
