You don’t fluff your pillows or make your bed or wash the linens? Bed stuff needs daily maintenance; hopefully flashing the firmware on your smart pillow wouldn’t be daily, but you want to keep the bed bugs away, Shirley?

tyler@programming.dev 1 day agoWhy would you need to do maintenance at all?

I don’t do the first two, and I wash them weekly. My home assistant stuff never needs maintenance, so no I’d wager that if I set it up locally it would work fine if the software was stable. But you said that’s when you’d do maintenance, at bedtime, which is also not when you’d be making the bed or fluffing the pillows or washing the sheets.

Sometimes you get a new dream machine that has internal ipv6 disabled by default and only your matter over WiFi lights stop working, but you think they’re thread, which shouldn’t leak ipv6 past the otbr. So you work on getting them reconnected to the Internet by removing your firewall policy that kept them local, but Ubiquity now has Zones as well, and your dumbass did a little of each. Plus, for some reason, they’ll negotiate an ipv4 and drop off the network, and there’s no easy way to identify a bulb by it’s IP or mac address. It’s not like the Mac addresss is printed on the bulb, so you try to judge by signal strength. But then your buddy who’s been helping you troubleshoot for the past couple hours tells you to link him the lights from your order history, so only then do you realize they’re matter over WiFi and not matter over thread, and enabling ipv6 locally does the trick. Now you’ve just got a set up your automations again, because you had the bright idea to put actual switches in the walls that depend on home assistant, and the automations don’t know the new entities so none of your wall switches work until that’s fixed. And eventually you’ll get around to reinstating that firewall policy to block them from the Internet, but not today because you’ve spent long enough for one day on fighting with your light bulbs.
