@lxt hangin' in there! really nothing to complain about... but i sure am looking forward to the warmer weather. pretty done with winter

@cturra I hope you're good too!

Spot where the pager went off (heart rate)

@hugoslabbert even not as a network engineer, i feel like that's true in my life... well, that and DNS.

@hugoslabbert warm enough that my central ac is holding the indoor temp, but not cooling the house. 🔥

@_msw_ ship it

@codeboten neither do i… and my oldest is one of them 🤷

*taps mic* Hello. A weekly #HangOps hosted by @jtimberman (and sometimes @petecheslock) is back. This Wednesday Oct 27, we'll go live at 10am PT / 1pm ET. It'll be on Zoom and stream to YouTube. Links to come.

Picard management tip: Remember your mission, but be ready to change it.

@codeboten slackware. learned a lot about package dependencies because there was no package manager. upgrades where… scary 🤞

@matthewlaird happy to give you a walk through of my home assistant setup if that'd help get you started.

@caseybecking i find it difficult to blame users here - most don't know any better. vendors should make their devices do the right thing, by default.

@matthewlaird great beer choice 🍻

Home Assistant Core 2021.7.0 ☀️ 😎 home-assistant.io/blog/2021/07/0… Presenting a new entity type! Identify the automation trigger by an ID. You can now debug your scripts and easily parse dates in templates! What a lovely release this is! 🎉

@agentdero good ventilation

@QuinnyPig i like to refer to these folks as 'earlier in career' instead of 'junior.'

The second: "junior" doesn't always mean "new to the workforce," it can also mean folks switching career tracks. That's likely a lot more tenable here--but that doesn't get around the "mentoring someone intensively" problem.

This is a *terrific* question that deserves a thread of its own.

Home Assistant Core 2021.5.0! 😎 home-assistant.io/blog/2021/05/0… Improved database and start-up handling, an updated look and feel for the integrations dashboard, we now have color modes for lights and trigger-based binary template sensors!

@jordansissel a fun project i just acquired parts for => youtube.com/watch?v=QMepwp…

@jordansissel i started the same way by running in a container on my docker host. i eventually migrated to a dedicated machine for a better add-on experience. i’m happy to have made that switch (and can demo for you any time if it’d be helpful).

@elonmusk can you tell your Tesla peeps to work with us instead of trying to block us. We fight tooth and nail now to keep access to data of our own cars. Home Assistant is local, open source and never shares (Tesla) data with anyone but owner of the car. Make it happen please.
