  • I have bad news. The democrats have been controlled opposition the whole time. They’re just there to be like “oh noooo you gotta vote for US or the big bad THEM is gonna get you” but you do remember how absolutely spineless they’ve been since Trump right? “Oh we gotta work across the isle, guys, we gotta follow the norms guyssss the parliamentarian, guyssss”

    They will leave in place everything Trump has done and let it normalize. They are the cooling of the lava before the next eruption, but the coastline is forever pushed right, the land forever charred, and there is no time for Pele to restore the life force before the next eruption. The cycle has become too accelerated.


  • Really, because I have a Bosch and I had to install the app and then use HACS to install an integration which goes through their cloud.

    I don’t use that for anything more than alerts but it’s annoying it has zero local control. This is a perfect use case for Zigbee or Z-Wave and if I’m paying a premium I don’t get why I wouldn’t get premium features.

    Also some features are app only (special dry modes etc) so if I want the functionality I paid for I have to be signed up for their cloud.

















  • If you shut down the computer gracefully first before you power the disks off it should be ok more often than not, but you really should try to have everything on the same system so this can all be coordinated by the OS and the hardware.

    As others have said, avoid powering the disks off before the OS has had a chance to shut down or your disks will NOT be in a recoverable state when everything comes back online.

    I’m not even sure the setup you are describing would benefit at all from a different storage method, even “regular” writes could be in memory or controller buffers. External drives are not meant to have their power cut.
