  • It’s just another calendar…

    So, we have:

    • Me
    • Them
    • Us
    • House Stuff (ie bin day reminders)
      • I use this for Home Assistant
    • Birthdays
      • I don’t recall at the moment, but an app used this for contact’s birthdays…

    I then setup DavX to sync to Me and Us on my phone and Them and Us on their phone.

    In Fossify Calendar it’s really easy to show /hide separate calendars as well as selecting the correct calendar when adding / editing events.






  • It varies of course, but most of my torrents are movies and linux ISOs (for real)

    I seed any Movies I leech at a 2:1 ratio… most are leeched from Europe, but I’ve had them from Canada, South America, Asia, but weirdly not many from North America.

    I like to give back more to the Linux community, so I’m constantly seeding Arch & Mint ISOs (as that’s just what I’m using… maybe something Raspberry-ish) - they go everywhere.

    I had a weird instance once where the same Chinese IP address was constantly re-downloading the same ISO. Could’ve been a VPN endpoint, but after I’d shared something like 40:1 there, I started using GeoIP to block it and similar regions I was uncomfortable with… so the world’s becoming smaller for me.











  • Thanks

    Hmmm… my office is 50~60%:

    At 55% relative humidity, the swamp cooler will be able to drop the temperature from 90°F to 81°F. That’s a -9°F drop.

    So, it’ll be able to drop 32°C to 27°C…

    Looks like I might have to look for a different solution… or have a higher electricity bill by running a dehumidifier too.



  • The roof above my head is probably close to 40DegC, but I put 150mm insulation in, so it’s not toooo bad at the mo

    That’s where the external heat’s coming from.

    The internal heat is me, a laptop under heavy load (corp security = noticable% CPU), some monitors and the NAS (which is now on automated power on / off cycles to reduce heat)

    But yeah, we have no AC. We only have a few weeks in the year like this - at scattered random times - so it’s not worth installing. Next week we might be back down to 15DegC

    And if I put a unit in my window then I’ll basically be living in a dungeon.
