You’re not wrong and the trend is toward more of these torrential-to-flood events. The story is simple: the infrastructure we have doesn’t handle multiple inches of rain in a very short period of time.

I'll enjoy watching this thread evolve. Some thoughts from my experience: - Everyone asks to translate simpler spreadsheets and Excel charts/graphs into dashboards in your BI tool of choice. As soon as it's there, they'l

I’ve suffered through it just like you. I recently reinstalled Overcast after using Castro for quite a while. But, I’m still not completely satisfied with any of these apps.

I’m 41. Rebooted into a tangential career in tech startup land after spending my entire career in insurance. I feel great about my decision. I’m learning lots of new things. I’m exploring new skills, tactics, strategies. I’ll be 2 years in

I have several simple rules: 1. Track it - Google Sheets, apps, counters, etc. 2. Don’t make excuses - easier said than done. But really, only outlier reasons should trip you up. 3. You won’t go from 0-100 at once - Routines are sometimes s

Former restaurant chef. Indeed, that’s my experience. Especially butter. I’ve never seen so much butter go into a dish. Another that flies under the radar: ingredient quality. Example that comes to mind: the cooking oil for sauce/fry&#

I’m curious. How do you know it was COVID? I too was diagnosed pre-diabetic post-COVID. No longer the case now. However, I’m not sure how I could ever make the direct attribution to COVID?

I just upgraded to a 15 Pro but have my past 3 iPhones in reaching distance: 12 Mini, XS, SE. The 12 Mini is/was great for portability. But the small screen bugged me enough over time (cramped typing/reading) to move forward with

Is this something that we can facilitate through IH or elsewhere? I am on the other side - not good enough of a dev but plenty of experience on the biz side.

Idea: could you cut off external network access and then point a server (e.g. HomeAssistant server on RPi) to the RTSP feed from the camera within your network?

Plenty relative to a small absolute number overall - right? I don’t know RPI sales but the difficulty buying them doesn’t signal that loads of average folks want to bother. I have both RPI local cam set up and Wyze. Despite concerns, hard t
