Back on reddit there were those who had alerts set every time the word came up across the site, then they'd brigade the fitness and health subreddits with their vegan crew to derail any conversations. It was really annoying. No clue if that's still a problem because lolreddit

Most of my automations are lighting-based, so my favorites are both simple in theory but I can't imagine going without them:
1.) When I get home (or near home) and it's after dark, the living room lights and the TV turn on.
2.) Not really an automation on its own, but when I lay down to bed I turn off my bedroom lights through the HA app. I'm so used to it that the thought of turning the bedroom lights off at the switch then fumbling through the dark to bed sounds barbaric at this point.

They appear to be available for order right now? I didn't enter payment details, but kits are in stock.

2023.11 looks like a great release! I'm still holding off until a week into the month like I always do to ensure I catch the major bugfixes, but I'm excited to see what I can do with the todo lists!

...there was already a simple version used for favicons that didn't look as bad, it's the one on the right. Switching to just using it for everything would be fine, instead of this... thing with the awkward left branch joining the main one at the bottom.

Here are a few great channels from my Youtube subscriptions!

Tasting History with Max Miller hits a perfect cross-section of my interest in cooking and my interest in history. Max goes through a historical recipe each episode and pauses part of the way through to explain the history of the dish.

Minute Food has lots of short (sometimes under a minute!) videos about the science behind cooking.

Chinese Cooking Demystified is a husband-and-wife duo living in China that goes over traditional Chinese recipes, I especially like how in the voice-over they frequently list substitutions for ingredients that may be difficult to find outside of China.

Atomic Shrimp does far more than just cooking, but the cooking videos on his channel always give a neat insight into the everyday meals an older British IT Specialist makes.

Don't ask for life advice from strangers on the internet who have no incentive to give you GOOD life advice

Came here to say the same. Used to be closed then I got a cat and now I can't imagine waking up without her napping on me

Is it 2002, or the early days of the internet?
