I work indoors, so rarely see the sun, so I’m deathly pale.

I’ll come out on weekends, do some gardening, cut down a tree, etc. and be ok, but go to the beach and I’ll be 🦞

A week later, it’ll have peeled off and I’ll repeat.

By the end of the Summer though, I won’t burn as easily and have enouth colour to be classed as having a healthy colour.

Not used them myself, but I’d bookmarked these for my next home… maybe what you’re looking for? Somfy Sunea

And there’s an integration in home assistant Overkiz

But whether that integration works with that solar motor is unclear.

Yeah, but that doesn’t mean just giving up and going home.

Even if 1 person makes the move, it’s a positive needle move. And I can guarantee it’ll be more than 1 person…

Ongoing support is a separate discussion… could be money, could be beer… but I agree, it should be discussed so that a dependency is understood / avoided

Apart from all the people that don’t use computers for work / don’t work (too young, too old, disabled)…

It does take a while to get pipelines and LNG terminals built…

Just been out gardening and watched all the BH tourists heading home (45mph through the village…), so should be safe for you to get out now

Crowdsec will block external, public, IPs

Fail2Ban will block login attempts (ie from anywhere)

I have a similar setup with pfSense, pfBlockerNG, HAProxy, etc, but I keep F2B running on my DMZ server in case something is ever compromised as it’ll block / slow down anyone trying to move around the network.

Maybe, I’m self hosting several trees, so… 🤷‍♂️

Depends on the variety of course… my Willows need cutting down, whereas the acorns I planted before the willows are still tiny oaks in pots 🙂

Yeah, it’s all about regular contributions… I was down (up?) to #120’s a while back, but I’ve not been travelling recently, so it’s slipping away.

But yeah, 341 active days… probably over a ~3 years?

What I tend to do now is, if I visit a nice cafe / restaurant / shop, I’ll check if it’s there and edit the opening times, etc… or even add the business if it didn’t exist.

They’re good to me, I’m good to them

StreetComplete Rank #136 in my country #1589 Globally

Across 7 countries (yep, even on holiday)

I’ve also added our home & some neighbours onto the map, which is great as our address is a little awkward and gradually our deliveries have improved as the map data reaches the driver’s satnavs

Yeah, I was following the Linux Voice team from when they launched their own magazine.

Kinda really read the mags because of the team trying to make it work, but it was (is?) good content.

Then they merged into Linux Format and my career kinda moved from OS stuff to Cyber stuff so I dropped away…

Yeah, when you put it like that… yeah it’s madness.

Ahh, I see what you mean. Being asked to pay twice isn’t nice…

That’s what I appear to be learning from this post’s comments 🙂

As a colleague used to say: Every day’s a school day.

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.

Hmmm. Hadn’t thought of that. Interesting point… I’ve even got an unused IR blaster… somewhere.

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.

Good points.

That’s what I’m doing for the winter: dumb dehumidifier on smart socket. HA measures the humidity and turns it on / off.

I was hoping for something that could cool and report back what it was doing to HA, but I think I’ll have to go with the same approach as the dehumidifier.
