  • It really really depends on what you have for heating.

    Floor heating + heat pump? You don’t need to mess around with target temp much because the principle behind it is thermal mass buildup and maintaining that. You have to tune thermostatic valves on the room level. Then you can have one central thermostat simply slightly change the target temperature with many hours of delay. That doesn’t seem too useful to me to automate.

    Do you have radiators? Then you can get zwave or ZigBee valves and tie them together with whatever thermostat that you want in home assistant. Then you can set per room/zone heat depending on whatever sensors you have.

    Do you have central forced air heating and air conditioning? Then you have pretty much target temp and on/off control unless you want to put in motorized automatic registers or redesign your entire duct system for per-room duct valves.

    Individual heat pumps/airco units with radiator based heating is the most “per room” customizable and probably the most useful to put automations on in Home Assistant.

    Ventilation can be useful by monitoring CO2 levels and humidity. Then you can use either the fan units themselves or socket switches to actuate those and put whatever sensors you want wherever it is useful.

    I am probably missing some stuff here, but there are only a few HVAC setups that actually benefit from automation, in my opinion. Mainly ventilation, infrared, and non centralized forced air heat pumps. Plus heating and cooling is something you want to work 100% flawlessly even if your router dies, your home assistant falls off a cliff, and your ZigBee/zwave controller dies.


  • Different philosophy.

    Ntfy uses pub-sub like MQTT. It publishes messages and anyone (with access) can subscribe to it. Want to connect 250 clients across 50 people to have the same messages delivered? Easy.

    Gotify uses end to end messaging. A user creates an application on their chosen client. Gotify uses a REST api send the notification pulled from the chosen app to the user who made it. Want to do the same as above? You have to set it up 250 times. Gotify was the first to have authentication and some people say it is more robust, but I can’t speak on that. Also gotify is easier to set up and makes sense for a single user.

    Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but that is the biggest architectural difference.



  • Yes but swiss people can still be absolutely piece of shit human beings. They proved that in WWII by helping fund the Nazis directly. Swiss people also aren’t immune from rampant US party propaganda. You aren’t magical, psychologically different humans than the rest of the world.

    Publicly supporting an openly fascist dictator, whatever “political party” they are on, someone who directly opposes the stated mission and values of the company, means that they are piece of shit humans who cannot be trusted with our data because they will just lie with what they do with it just like how they lied to us about their company values.





  • JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nltoTechnology@lemmy.worldWhat GPUs work as eGPUs?

    eGPUs have all but disappeared. 90% of the models available in 2019 are no longer available with no models to replace them. Even bigger companies like razer and coolermaster seemed to silently discontinue them and simply let the product webpages break down. I think power requirements of the last years of GPUs have also made them less practical and people aren’t going to pay 500€ for an enclosure when that is simply approaching the cost of the rest of the PC.

    There are even fewer thunderbolt4 but thunderbolt3 has a bit of latency results in slight performance loss, so finding an old model enclosure with thunderbolt3 might be your best chance of getting it. Different storefronts sometimes still have a few in stock you can buy.

    Edit: Nowhere did I say “no eGPUs have been made” just that there are signifucantly less options than 5 years ago:

    https://egpu.io/best-egpu-buyers-guide/

    Look at the vendor pages for most of these models and see if you can buy them from tge vendor or an manufacturer-listed distributer and then try to find newer, actively produced eGPUs by the manufacturers (including the big names). For the vast majority they have stopped making them.

    To frame it as an example: If you saw that 30 laptop manufacturers making 100+ models in 5 years went to 3 manufacturers making 5 models, you would say that is a very rapid decline.



  • This is probanly way too boring and mundane for this thread, but I can’t feel hunger or fullness. (Never had a doctor look at it because it doesn’t make my life worse)

    My mom when I was a baby asked the doctor how much baby food I should be given after breastfeeding time was over. The doctor said “just give him enough, he will stop”. After many jars of food, my mom had to stop because I wouldn’t stop.

    To this day I can feel my stomach expanding before I will stop. At my university all-you-can-eat cafeteria (back when I was super fit and tracked every calorie) I ate about 10kcal and didn’t feel full so I stopped. I also did a 21 day water (and salt+vitamins) fast without that much trouble (but my mouth would still water and I would still have taste cravings)

    Fucks up my relationship with food though because I eat when I am bored, just eat whatever is in front of me without realizing it, or if I am busy I will just forget to eat.

    As I said, probably not really unsettling or scary, but not a fun fact lol.

    It is the only active one that he didn’t buy into I think. I guess maybe the money pit boring company that doesn’t do anything?

    • Paypal he bought into by merging X.com and got thrown out after

    • Tesla he bought into and ousted the founding members and paid and retconned gis heart out to call himself a founder. It is also where most of his wealth comes from from insane speculative overvaluation (look at market cap vs Toyota and then market share vs Toyota) that he can continuously borrow off of at essentially 0% interest or tax rate.

    • the boring company he did found, mostly as a scam to kill goverment mass transit projects (Chicago, San Jose trail link, hyperlopp) essentially winning competitions through good presentations and getting better projects involving mass transit to drop out or be rejected before canceling the project. Who would have thought, coming from a car company. The LA loop is the only thing they ever accomplished and is a nightmare unsafe hellhole of non-working self driving and traffic that is a huge enclosed fire tragedy waiting to happen

    • twitter he got forced to buy into after being a loudmouthed asshole idiot and turned it into a bot-riddled right will hellhole

    • musk bought into solar city and since bought it out by Tesla and it is riddles with problems

    • musk venture capitalist funded openAI but was against pretty much everything and almost got throws out. I guess if you consider having almost no impact or vision besides providing some money founding then I guess he founded that?

    • musk bought neuralink out from scientists, by pretending to not be elon musk, for pennies to expand on their ideas and make it mainstream. Stealing someone’s name, work, and ideas under the pretense of being someone else doesn’t seem like founding to me

    But he pays to be named founder on Wikipedia for many of those lol


  • The only problem with RSS is that it doesn’t work for many many news sources as well as niche interests.

    The RSS feeds on most of my country’s news sources are literally a headline with a link to their website. Plus the ones that it does work for break multiple times per year (at least on feeder) so being able to actually fetch the article is a toss up. Right now even with freshly added feeds, 9 out of 10 are “cannot fetch full article”.

    I find most people’s blogs rather boring and uninspired or extremely longwinded. I much prefer the kind of organic conversations from forums. Algorithms point me to the 4-5 pieces of content from people that I find interesting. I don’t often subscribe to them because their other content is not as interesting.

    With RSS feeds I would have to manually search through hundreds of articles and blog posts just to find 3 that I might actually be interested in. For example the less niche Phoronix has like 20 articles per day that are essentially fluff article padding updates like “video acceleration improvements merged for Mesa 25”. Like I don’t care at all. But the LACT Intel support addition I would be interested in 10 articles down.
