I’ve slowly but surely added more and more. I don’t know when all those crazy cheap tablets that were everywhere in the early 2010s disappeared but I’d like about 5 now. Don’t even care about the spyware they’ll never see the internet.

Figured it out! It was as simple as making sure the security keys were generated. I thought I had but they failed to take in ZwaveJS. So for posterity:

• Check the battery mode
• If it looks like data is flowing the way it should, but you’re missing entities associated with the device: thats a security feature. Either no keys or other security issues will keep the device from exposing the entities you want.

Big thanks to @besmtt@lemmy.world and @tburkhol@lemmy.world . I learned a ton more because of your input. Oh also matter is no working as is ESPectre across a dozen or so ESP32-C3s I had. So all in all we got some major upgrades done today!

Great suggestions but it wound up being even more simple and even more stupid: Security keys. Writing a top level note for anyone after right now.

Re: Icon: Understood, but still grateful for the clarity! Unraid working proper again, I didn’t realize how much there was to Ipv6… another day. Have to take care of some things but succesfully back to baseline. I’ll try repovisioning this evening and see what happens! (I’ll post here for posterity)

Unfortunately this is my first and currently only z-wave device; I’ll snag some “fool proof” ones for exactly what you’re saying.

This is a solid lead and I suspect you’re right! Although some stuff that doesn’t add up:

• The device isn’t showing the under “wifi” signal icon
• The device is in “battery mode”, but regarding the procedure to change power mode: It was running on battery during original inclusion, and in fact has never been hooked to AC.

I think you’ve gotten me on the right track, but I gave myself another wrinkle. I’m also trying to get matter working for the first time, and in the process of troubleshooting a provisioning, I put my unraid server (with HA) to communicate via IP6 only. It now is no longer online and also inaccessible via a directly connected monitor… So I need to solve that before I can do anything else with Z-wave…

Happy Sunday…

Honestly I learned linux because I needed to turn some pumps on and off…

Made some arduino based controllers, but those were a pain to figure out how to access remotely, so raspberry pi it was, but eventually I needed more horsepower, so debian it was, then ESP-32s were popularized and now I’ve come full circle with a fleet of ESP-32s reporting to a debian server… eventually I’ll get around to understanding some of the hardware interface in the OS a bit more.

All of it by just kind of bumping into problems

Well shit… There goes my weekend…

I know the names, but only that they’re F1 drivers because the ads for that are everywhere. Couldnt tell you who they race for.

My dumbass thought they meant “public figures”.

It can depend, also this little snippet doesn’t say if it’s energy or delivery. Some utilities really like expanding delivery because the projects are revenue, and they don’t make much, if any, on the delivery. But in some cases those delivery expansion projects have a long payback time, so they avoid them until they’re critical, and also lose if after building the demand they were serving goes down.

It also varies a ton by state (Texas being the most extreme example). As well as, someone noted below, how the energy purchase goes. In my state there’s an independent not for profit that is not the utility, and not the energy producer, that just coordinates purchase of power from the broader region (across multiple states). They’ll mix whats coming into the grid in the state going “call Ohio and buy XXYY megawatts for ZZ hrs from that coal fire joint”. The control room is cool as hell. They seem pretty ethically clean, but purchasing that power is a bidding process (like, real time), and your bid has to be competitive.

Mini discs! They never really took hold in the US but I had one and LOVED it. Rewritible media, but better quality than cassette. Sony made a killer player that only somehow sipped a single AAA battery, which was a big deal for a kid.

All hail MD.

Yeah I’m sober a year now due to drinking myself into severe heart failure (ejection fraction of 17%, up to 47% now) and this is correct. If you can enjoy it great, but the second people start making excuses it’s over, it’s just a matter of how long the slide takes.

I destroy those since going sober. I think it’s that carbonation itself has a flavor, and in cheap beer that carbonation was actually the majority of the feel/flavor. Occasionally I’ll feel silly buying so much, but then I remember how much I used to spend on booze without batting an eye and grab another 12 pack for $2.85.

“You owe the companies nothing. You, especially, don’t owe them any courtesy. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.” Banksy on utilizing ad space.

Despite doing an awful lot with ESP32s, Home assistant, and a bunch of LoRa stuff, I know very little about BLE. Would it be possible for folks to voluntarily add their MAC to a data base on gitlab, and have a ESP32 program that:

1. Spammed out whatever the max reasonable number of random entries from that database is
2. Updated it every-time it was on a specified WiFi So that every time I drove by one of these, not only do I look like a spacehulk of TPS, headphones, cars and cellphones, but I’m specifically helping someone appear somewhere not their location as well?

Another fun eye/brain fact: There are two “outputs” for each eye. One goes to your occipital lobe, in the back, and really processes the image (“That’s a cup, it <holds liquid> <is firm with a medium weight>…” etc) and one goes to your brain stem, which processes movement.

It’s possible to have the connection to the occipital lob severed, but not to the brain stem. It’s a condition called blindsight. The result is that if you showed someone a cup, they wouldn’t be “see” it; they wouldn’t know what it is and wouldn’t register you were showing them anything at all… but if you tossed it to them they could catch it.

It’s sobering (pardon the pun). As a rule any industry that can advertise help programs, or “responsible use” only exists because of the lives it ruins. They know that, financially, those that keep it going can’t and won’t stop regardless of what is said.

I thought the meta-narrative around data structure and patterns (Enoch Root) against the Indiana Jones-esque adventures was absolutely amazing.

When I was a kid, my hometown was ~5-10 miles from one of the U.S. Great Lakes. I road my bike to the library one day, checked out some books, and set up outside in an old disused train station that had been converted into a sort of park. That parts relevant because of the piled up mound of rocks that made the track foundation meeting the grass.

As I read, I noticed a bird landed pretty close to me, I was thrilled to be watching them! But then I noticed it seemed to be limping, it’s wing was broken. There was a vet not to far, so I went into my backpack for a sweatshirt, and figured I might be able to safely wrap him up, and take him to the vet, who probably knew the number of a wildlife rehabilitation center or something.

As I approached with my sweatshirt though, it took off! Must not have been that hurt after all… I kept reading. The bird showed up again, it must not have been able to fly to far! I tried again, again it took off… repeat for hours until eventually, having made very little progress on my book, I went home.

… It was around a decade later I learned about the “broken wing display”. He was probably as confused as I was.

big whoop. With the power of migraines some of us have had desktops like this for decades!
