I used to use a custom DNS solution using Amazon Route 53 (which I already used for my websites) and a Let’s Encrypt certificate. It worked ok but was pretty technical to set up.

Then I switched ISP and the new one doesn’t allow incoming connections by default so I use Nabu Casa. It was super simple to set up and works perfectly and, imo, well worth the cost.

The one thing that was a misstep on my docker journey was that the original tutorials that I followed installed them using the command line. It’s much better to do it using a docker compose file.

I guess that my message wasn’t clear but by “component” I meant a home automation component.

I have the following containers in my HA installation:

• Home assistant
• Node red
• MQTT
• Zigbee2mqtt
• Esphome

And maybe others that I have forgotten.

Each had to be installed manually by adding it to my docker compose file, mapping drives, and editing config files.

Most, if not all, of them (except HA) can be installed from within HA if you’re using HAOS.

It can also be installed using docker containers but that is more difficult to manage as you have to install every component manually.

My tank came with a mounting point on the top of it where you can fit an ultrasonic sensor. You just configure it with the depth of your tank and that’s it. I have a unit inside that shows how much oil I have left.

Apparently, it uses an RF protocol that can be intercepted and interpreted in HA with the right dongle but I haven’t done that.

Edit: mine looks like this although with different branding.

Downgrading to 1.31.1 fixed it. Thanks a lot.

Ok, thanks. I’ll have a look at switching to an older version.

I have the older SONOFF stick.

I’m pretty sure that I have tried that. The kind of sure that means I’m going to have to try it again. 😀

I have thanks. I have tried just doing the basic setting of ‘true’ and the more advanced options with no joy.

about a thousand subreddits have gone private.

That number ended up being more than 8000 and there are still more than 7000 in private or restricted mode. Although they are starting to come back online now.

He’s right though - it will pass. The question is, will Reddit be the same once it does pass? Will enough moderators and contributors leave to reduce the quality of the content?

Personally, I don’t really care anymore. I’m not going back if I can’t use a third party app and I haven’t had a problem using Lemmy for the past two days instead. I just need to find the best communities for me which will take time but I’m sure that it’ll be a good replacement.

Also, be very careful about who ultimately owns the domain name that you’re buying.

I know of someone who “bought” a domain for a ridiculous price and it turned out that they didn’t actually own it. The company registered it in their own name so that he wasn’t able to transfer it to another registrar and had to continue to pay the high fees if he wanted to keep the domain.

Well shady.

It’s not about wasting time and it’s not about trying to get users to come over to Lemmy today or tomorrow.

It’s about whether you contribute to the protest or not. If you log in to Reddit and start writing comments then you’ll be flagged as an active user for that day and will lessen the impact a small amount. If many did it as you’re suggesting we should then that will lessen the impact of the protest more.

It is. We want their usage stats to show that users are objecting to their plans rather than just mods and app developers.
