If I look at the HA log, the thermostat seems to disconnect and reconnect itself every few minutes. Does yours do that? After looking closer at it, I think this is an issue with the Rheem thermostat not staying connected to the home WiFi network.

Also, have you considered wiring in to the thermostat directly to avoid having to use a Rheem account?

Someone on Reddit theorized that he saw the term Delta and associated it with Delta Faucets the company, and that is where the faucet idea of his comes from.

Is it based on ActivityPub? I don’t really know much about it other than Jack Dorsey is involved.

Nice, I’ll check it out. Thanks

I’m all for incremental improvements but these people that laud themselves as environmental heros for owning an electric car need to understand what happens behind the curtain before they receive their electric car, and after the battery is replaced.

Is there any comprehensive proof that EV production is cleaner than ICE production?

Yes I did read the article. I’m not saying that she shouldn’t have replaced her vehicle, in fact she probably did make the smartest choice by going for a second hand EV. I’m just frustrated by the people that assume an electric vehicle is somehow “good” for the environment when it is not.

She refers to her car in the following ways:

• “a car that [does] not emit pollution” 
• “Zero emission gave me peace of mind that I made the right choice for a world facing climate change”
• “earth-friendly”

Also this statement shows she is concerned about the environment:

“suddenly remembered my intention for buying an EV in the first place. I should have spoken up. Greenhouse gas emissions, carbon dioxide, climate crisis … These words jumbled in my head. Nobody had even mentioned this life-or-death issue we all are facing.”

But EVs are not some sort of silver bullet for the climate crisis. Do we yet have any studies confirming that they are better for the environment over ICE vehicles when considering lithium mining, vehicle production, battery replacement, tire pollution etc?

I hope that the EV revolution is a net positive solution over ICE vehicles, but they are not some sort of magical product that is going to save the planet.

I’ve been using AntennaPod and it is no frills and works flawlessly.

I’ll be interested to see an open source version of this!

I remember reading that GOS eventually wants to develop their own hardware, although I’m sure that is many years away.

This does seem crazy. I thought maybe they transfer over all the person’s data, but no it says in their FAQ that you lose all your data in the process.

I’ve had a lot of luck with banking apps on GrapheneOS. Worth a try if you haven’t already.

This looks really intriguing. Have you installed it on a raspberry pi? I’m having some difficulties and wondering if there are other packages I need to install first.

Using LibreElec, were you able to get any streaming services running like Netflix or YouTube?

I would like a UI I could use with a remote but the wife still needs Netflix so Kodi wouldn’t cut it.

This is great! Where do I find it?

Then stand up your own server and govern it as you please.

What’s the point then? Is it fdroid specifically?

You can download the APK from their website and it auto updates itself. It fetches notifications without Google required.

oh okay, ya I meant single board computers like a raspberry pi

Would self hosting be possible (and fairly reliable) on a SBC?

So I can sign up for beeper and connect through Element or another Matrix app of my choosing?
