Seeking assistance getting haos server running
  • I can’t exactly solve your problem, but when I wanted to get HA running on proxmox I used these scripts

    Tteck

    Completely painless and running in almost as little time as it took to download the files.

  • 2024.10: Heading in the right direction
  • I did wonder if that was the one that did it. That’ll teach me to update multiple things at once.

    The only thing I lost was a day of recorder data and since I repaired it before bed I guess if I went and recovered the previous build I’d lose what I had overnight in the switch back.

    Thanks for letting me know though, I’ll warn my friends before they update.

  • ADHD Rule
  • It’s hard to not make them sound trivial, but you’ll see some of them in the memes that pass through here. Off the top of my head though:

    • the importance of routine/consistency. He got up at the same time almost every day for 50 years. He went to the gym before anything got in the way, that sort of thing.
    • he pushes conscious decision making, of following through on things and being definite. Do not let yourself be guided by what you want in the moment, be guided by what you plan and intend.
    • put things in the same place. Put things back where you got them from. Don’t rely on your memory, rely on your habits.

    When I write these they seem silly and trivial, but they help me a lot.

  • ADHD Rule
  • It’s hard though. A key criteria (at least in the UK) how much it affects you day-to-day. My father probably has it and passed along a lot of guidance that I now recognise as coping mechanisms/symptom management strategies. Day to day I’ve got it in hand, it’s only when the big storms come that I struggle, and that doesn’t fit with the diagnostic approach.

  • Uses for local AI?
  • I don’t know how tech savvy you are, but I’m assuming since your on lemmy it’s pretty good :)

    The way we’ve solved this sort of problem in the office is by using the LLM’s JSON response, and a prompt that essentially keeps a set of JSON objects alongside the actual chat response.

    In the DND example, this would be a set character sheets that get returned every response but only changed when the narrative changes them. More expensive, and needing a larger context window, but reasonably effective.

  • Timer/schedule entity
  • It’s got a nice component to go with it, so setting up is easier. I particularly use it for scheduling thermostats, and find it much more user friendly. Sure I could do it with automations, but I’d either have one, massively unwieldy one with lots of states and triggers, or lots of individual ones.

  • there goes the rest of the day, i guess
  • I have this battle - I am great at routine but terrible at habit. My wife asks me why I do the same thing every day, and I can’t really explain that I have to do it every day or i’ll stop doing it completely.

  • Sail-abrating Sunset
  • These are a great example that I might use in the office. Everything makes sense in isolation, but the unity the wind, waves and sails don’t quite match in a way I couldn’t put my finger on.

  • The free fediverses should support concentric federations of instances
  • Part of the problem here I think relates to scale.

    If I invite a load of friends over to my house for a party, they might be in different rooms having different conversations but they’re all my friends in my house. No one cares who I let in or kick out, certainly not either of the next groups.

    Let’s say I’m part of the committee for the local community hall. We let our halls out to clubs. Some of the committee go to some of the clubs. I might not be interested in what it is, but if someone I trust says they are OK, I’m OK.

    At the local University they have a lot of spaces, each managed by the respective school. Each school has a slightly different ethos. Some of them might let their space to groups that other schools wouldn’t, but it’s not their call. They share some resources but not decision making.

    We’ve got this problem emerging. The decisions made by lemmyworld or other large instances are generally in service to their communities, whereas on smaller or more focused instances the instance level decisions are the same as community level decisions.

  • Our brains are a mess
  • I look after the strategy team for the CISO of a financial services company. I do enjoy my job, but I’ve swapped debugging IT systems for debugging organisational systems, and there’s a frustrating amount of baggage (financial reporting, process reporting, people managment) that you have to carry to get to that table.

  • Our brains are a mess
  • I feel this. I used to have a job that involved popping difficult problems off the ‘hard problem’ queue, solving them and moving on. No one bothered me, I knew the set up and all was good. But it didn’t pay well, and now I manage people who get to have all the fun while I chase 30 minutes of focus in an 8 hour day.

  • How to get structure/routine and maintain it
  • I like to take it a step further - make the act of getting ready for the task a separate task. Other folks might see a single job, but when I have some repair work needing done around the house, I need a job to check if I have what I need to fix it, another to work out what I need to do, another to move it all to right place etc.

  • Help building a homebrew NVR

    I’ve got a project in mind I’d like to test with the community before going ok deep on.

    I’d like to put together a face-recognising NVR closely tied to homeassistant. I’m thinking of using an RPi4 with a coral attached. Then installing docker and including the following:

    • frigate
    • doubletake
    • compreface (unless others recommend a better detector?)

    I have an MQTT server in HA but also wondering if it makes sense to have a local MQTT server for the NVR.

    As usual, I’m working on the edge of what I know, so any suggestions/comments on things that might trip me up would be warmly welcomed.

    [UK] Found during house renovation

    There is a key to lock it closed, and the same key will lock it either on or off. In keeping with a Victorian Bell/Butler Board but not near it in the house.

    I guess it must be some kind of isolator switch, but I know nothing of its history.
