Speed limit drop to 40km/h seems to have worked as expected (livewirecalgary.com)
 

The speed limit drop on unmarked roads to 40km/h from 50 a couple years ago seems to have resulted in a measurable decrease in driving speeds and accidents.

Has anyone manage to find Avatar The Way of Water 3D blu-ray rip? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I see the following unverified torrent on a private tracker.
Avatar: The Way of Water 2022 1080p 3D BluRay Half-SBS DD+7.1 x264-GS88.
Its a 25GB MKV, no raw BlueRay listed in 3D.
Also only Half-SBS which I just learned about. So not exactly what you want. I messaged the uploader to see if they know where to go or can help provide it.

Smart light switch with a good tactile UX in c/homeassistant

I hear you might be able to flash them with Tasmota but I haven't tried. The support through Ewelink for HomeAssistant is meh.

Yes, I like the tactile-ness. I went with SONOFF SwitchMan Smart Wall Switch-M5 - 2 Gang, 120. It is gray and has a very nice click when pressed. No on/off state though, it is just a clicky button.

Did Immich work out-of-the-box for you? I had it working a few months ago but when I tried more recently I was greeted with errors about connecting to the database. The docker-compose setup is what I'm looking for.

Manjaro Linux with ZFS on some old gaming PC.

Home Automation and IoT with HomeAssistant in a virtual box. Database for storing some IoT history (not hooked up to Home Assistant yet but recording from MQTT) with MariaDB. Media Server with Emby. Photograph Backups with Immich; just playing with this for now. Constantly have problems running it to do with not connecting to Redis or PostGres :/ MQTT Server with Mosquitto for some custom IoT devices. VPN with WireGuard. File Syncronization with Syncthing; to/from phone and other computers. Torrenting with Deluge and Deluge Web.

June 3: Boil Water Advisory for 3 Communities (calgaryherald.com)
 

Lifted as of June 4th.

For communities: Silverado, Yorkville and Belmont. There was a water main breakage. While it has been fixed, Alberta Health issued a boil water advisory for the affected communities out of caution.

Found in a Common Sense Calgary email. https://www.albertainstitute.ca/r?u=R6v1GQkxThxfwybM4HncqfT9Lqy6n4aUHr343EmO2HgOdppnlzPdBU4ReED6zeKZDEwgKSWwQn0gt62gwmHBj589s5YV9Ry-04I24234-8Ds7jxwkLjWuyP3vLaO_LvPV0kbZJDNyqVH_AuECsG5ww&e=c97db2b5447291aed74b2091f9c3d79e&utm_source=albertainstitute&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=csc_cm_2023_06_05&n=9

That email seems more thought out than anything he has said to the public...

I would love this for more than just flights xP How much fun would it be to get a duel request from someone for a discount code or a parking spot. Doing rock-paper scissors for stuff.

time tracking in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately I didn't find anything free and open source that I liked. I'm still using Toggl Track for free. Then I use ActivityWatch to track when I am on particular applications in case I leave a timer on.
