Very nice example of a shape mattering more than size!

That's all most of us noobs ever actually ask for, and it's usually after we've gone through all the troubleshooting steps we know to do.

I've found LLM's to be useful as well. I wouldn't have Jellyfin running on my home server now if it wasn't for an LLM, and it was the first service I learned how to run. But an LLM has also sent me into a loop of testing out the same few prompts over and over again and expecting different results.

That's a fair point.

I considered going to a No Kings protest with a sign that reads 'China is not my king' and see how many people get it vs get pissed with me.

All joking aside, the only effective protest is one where you change your habits. I've deleted my Facebook, cancelled YouTube Premium, when my debit cards update I take audit of what I really want to start subbed to, I've replaced Google Photos with Immich, and I'm about to go to farmers markets instead of the big box stores for my grocery shopping.

Some of these are big pivots, others are simply mind over matter. Like, I plan on keeping Reddit until it asks for my ID, so I default to it before I scroll through here. I have Peertube installed but I still get onto YouTube until they ask for my ID. I'm as ready for not being able to access certain platforms as I can be, and I plan on keeping going as long as my ability to stay as anonymous as I want to is threatened.

RTFM (lemmus.org)
submitted 4 days ago by blakemavrix@lemmus.org to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Hello Linux community.

I'd like to take a moment to explain what I hope will be a simple concept (so really it's more of a reminder) that everyone should say least know and understand.

Not everyone (myself included) learns best by RTFM. Some of us need a guiding hand or to watch a video instead. It's not that we're lazy or don't like reading, it's just that it doesn't work efficiently enough.

Home Assistant has notes and a calendar, so I've replaced Google Calendar and Keep Notes with Home Assistant.

I want them to dim as the sun comes up and brighten when the sun goes down. I'll probably also look into smart switches at some point too.

I usually talk to my smart watch for home controls anyway. I don't have enough guests over to justify thinking about that. I need to replace burnt bulbs anyway.

I'm looking to replace burnt bulbs.

The bulbs are burnt out.

Light bulbs (lemmus.org)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago) by blakemavrix@lemmus.org to c/homeassistant@lemmy.world

Hi everyone. I recently started my Home Assistant journey by replacing Google Calendar and Keep Notes with Home Assistant. A couple of light bulbs burnt out and I want to replace them with bulbs that I can use exclusivity on Home Assistant and bypass the manufacturers app entirely. What brand should I look for?

These are standard wall mounted lights in my kitchen and my laundry room.

Edit: I'm looking to replace burnt bulbs anyway.
