I feel like almost everyone with ADHD could have told them that.

I can’t exactly solve your problem, but when I wanted to get HA running on proxmox I used these scripts

Tteck

Completely painless and running in almost as little time as it took to download the files.

If you’ve got access to the file system I think you could remove the custom component there - can’t exhausted resources if there’s no code!

I did wonder if that was the one that did it. That’ll teach me to update multiple things at once.

The only thing I lost was a day of recorder data and since I repaired it before bed I guess if I went and recovered the previous build I’d lose what I had overnight in the switch back.

Thanks for letting me know though, I’ll warn my friends before they update.

This happened to me, I’m running HAOS on proxmox. Ended up restoring from backup. Rollback from the CLI didn’t fix it either.

It’s hard to not make them sound trivial, but you’ll see some of them in the memes that pass through here. Off the top of my head though:

  • the importance of routine/consistency. He got up at the same time almost every day for 50 years. He went to the gym before anything got in the way, that sort of thing.
  • he pushes conscious decision making, of following through on things and being definite. Do not let yourself be guided by what you want in the moment, be guided by what you plan and intend.
  • put things in the same place. Put things back where you got them from. Don’t rely on your memory, rely on your habits.

When I write these they seem silly and trivial, but they help me a lot.

It’s hard though. A key criteria (at least in the UK) how much it affects you day-to-day. My father probably has it and passed along a lot of guidance that I now recognise as coping mechanisms/symptom management strategies. Day to day I’ve got it in hand, it’s only when the big storms come that I struggle, and that doesn’t fit with the diagnostic approach.

I don’t know how tech savvy you are, but I’m assuming since your on lemmy it’s pretty good :)

The way we’ve solved this sort of problem in the office is by using the LLM’s JSON response, and a prompt that essentially keeps a set of JSON objects alongside the actual chat response.

In the DND example, this would be a set character sheets that get returned every response but only changed when the narrative changes them. More expensive, and needing a larger context window, but reasonably effective.

I like the NMM on the axe, and the dusty build up round the feet. I think I’d like some pops of contrast worked in for the next one, maybe shoulder pads same as helmet, ribbons on the back pack could be red.

There’s a fine balance between getting the grimy effect and flattening out your contrast. A good tip I got a long time ago was to take a photo of your model with your phone, then make it black and white and see if it still works for you.

It’s got a nice component to go with it, so setting up is easier. I particularly use it for scheduling thermostats, and find it much more user friendly. Sure I could do it with automations, but I’d either have one, massively unwieldy one with lots of states and triggers, or lots of individual ones.

This custom component is what I use and love - https://github.com/nielsfaber/scheduler-component

I have this battle - I am great at routine but terrible at habit. My wife asks me why I do the same thing every day, and I can’t really explain that I have to do it every day or i’ll stop doing it completely.

Help building a homebrew NVR (self.homeassistant)
submitted 1 year ago by Bluesheep to c/homeassistant
 

I’ve got a project in mind I’d like to test with the community before going ok deep on.

I’d like to put together a face-recognising NVR closely tied to homeassistant. I’m thinking of using an RPi4 with a coral attached. Then installing docker and including the following:

  • frigate
  • doubletake
  • compreface (unless others recommend a better detector?)

I have an MQTT server in HA but also wondering if it makes sense to have a local MQTT server for the NVR.

As usual, I’m working on the edge of what I know, so any suggestions/comments on things that might trip me up would be warmly welcomed.

 

There is a key to lock it closed, and the same key will lock it either on or off. In keeping with a Victorian Bell/Butler Board but not near it in the house.

I guess it must be some kind of isolator switch, but I know nothing of its history.
