02:31:49 <MrMobodies> Homeassistant setup since 2022 and still going well
02:33:15 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/sg3hf78k/Homeassistant.jpg
02:33:41 <MrMobodies> Kept exacly the same, no auto updates and hasn't failed yet
02:33:58 <MrMobodies> it is connected to a Foxess AC 1 inverter.
02:34:05 <MrMobodies> to the ethernet port using modbus
02:34:49 <MrMobodies> the ups behind the m93 minipc great but the battery hasn't been changed for a long time
02:36:35 <MrMobodies> It's nice when I can set things up properly, leave them for years and they'd continue to work... no STUPID app on 'yer' pc and "cloud" and it's delays involved

03:29:57 <MrMobodies> not very much in there other than the farmer was using self defence and let go
03:30:16 <MrMobodies> it happened 2 years ago

03:31:04 <MrMobodies> Polite, well mannered, charming young man... yeah right
03:31:38 <MrMobodies> break into someone's house armed with the intent to do whatever it takes to rob them
03:31:59 <MrMobodies> that's not, polite, well mannered or charming.
03:33:02 <K> dastardly!
03:34:22 Quit: steve30 ([email protected]) Quit: <Baljem> steve30: by the way, I had the most bizarre dream the other day that someone came in here and seriously flipped their shit over your quit message and why aren't the ops /doing/ something about it
03:36:50 <MrMobodies> "much loved by everybody who met him"... not that farmer he gatecrashed into.
03:38:42 <MrMobodies> They could have put phrase before it "BELIEVED TO BE", "a funny, polite, well mannered... young man" etc.
03:42:53 <MrMobodies> Why do they give sympathy to people like that I wonder.
03:43:17 <K> outrage
03:43:34 <K> one could make argument that it is done intentionally to get outrage
03:43:50 <MrMobodies> If they break in armed where they are prepared to injur the owner or do whatever to rob
03:44:03 <MrMobodies> aaah
03:44:41 <MrMobodies> I suppose it would be sad if he got caught up with the other two, influenced into doing these things.
03:44:55 <MrMobodies> departing from his well mannered ways.
03:45:47 <MrMobodies> maybe they should punish the other two perpetraitors more for encouraging someone so young into the bad ways that got him killed
03:48:22 <MrMobodies> Found this laptop on ebay a Toshiba portege but look at the design of those feet and the way that fan dips out
03:48:25 <MrMobodies> https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/nGkAAeSwOPxqKgXm/s-l1600.jpg
03:48:58 <MrMobodies> that could attract moisture if there was water on the table and inhibit airflow
03:49:40 <MrMobodies> and has soon as the hot air leaves at that angle it could get sucked back in by that fan vent
03:52:31 <Kuschelpony> good night

08:52:56 <MrMobodies> The levels of stupidity that goes on in this day.
08:55:39 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/d0rBpSQY/Chelmsford-HEATWAVE.jpg
08:56:13 <MrMobodies> Heatwave on Sunday in Chelmsford
08:56:32 <MrMobodies> Some decided to go a bonfire around that time
08:56:33 <MrMobodies> https://www.essexcountynews.co.uk/news/26456201.chelmsford-bonfire-left-one-home-destroyed-two-damaged/
08:56:34 <EEVBot> [url] Chelmsford bonfire left one home destroyed and two damaged | Essex County News | www.essexcountynews.co.uk
08:59:12 <MrMobodies> Exactly the same thing happened in 2015 down the road in a park in Hornchurch during a heatwave were some schoolgirls were burning their books park and it ignited the park and burn't through an electricty supply cable going off to Upminster.
08:59:21 <MrMobodies> Oh back at my old address
09:00:34 <MrMobodies> that was cable buried under the ground near the road which went under a bridge and it took them 4 months to run a new cable across the park.
09:01:17 <MrMobodies> I thought bonfires were an Autumn thing
09:11:03 <MrMobodies> found it https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jul/24/school-leavers-burning-books-power-cuts-across-essex
09:11:03 <EEVBot> [url] School leavers burning books caused power cuts across Essex | Firefighters | The Guardian | www.theguardian.com
09:12:20 <MrMobodies> Guardian 1 Jul 2015 "UK swelters in heatwave as hottest July day recorded" and they burn't their books 3 weeks later as the heatwave continued.
09:18:07 <DogWomble> i don't know what they do in the UK, but Australia has the ability to declare a total fire day for basically that reason
09:18:48 <DogWomble> if the conditions are likely to make a fire catastrophic should it escape, you basically aren't allowed to light one unless you've got a permit first
09:19:21 <steve30> that makes sense
09:19:31 <steve30> but we don't normally get such conditions here
09:19:58 <DogWomble> yeah, we did that out of necessity because we tend to have quite nasty bushfires
09:20:28 <DogWomble> but it may be something the UK has to consider if they're starting to experience conditions where that's a problem
09:20:59 <steve30> yeah, people do keep telling me that we're in a climate emergency
09:21:40 <DogWomble> yeah, whatever the cuase of it, it's getting to the point that more places will have to think about this stuff

10:24:28 <MrMobodies> I have never EVER known someone to set fire to things or books or start a bonfire in a place of dry grass during a heatwave except for arsenists.
10:24:56 <MrMobodies> First first I heard was in 2015 down the road but that seemed like a one off.
10:25:00 <steve30> people are stupid
10:26:04 <MrMobodies> but yes, I am reading about wildfires starting up, earlier today one in Mansfield, there was one near Peterborough a few days ago.
10:27:38 <MrMobodies> Maybe they could deport this man to America, as they love him so much.

13:01:42 <MrMobodies> Decided to get rid of this piece of shit chair like the other, both had problems
13:01:42 <MrMobodies> the back piece slops too far back
13:01:42 <MrMobodies> so I end up knocking things off the table and last straw was my cup
13:01:42 <MrMobodies> attempting to adjust it pushes me forward, seems to me they put this fixed lumbar? thing i can't adjust, what a STUPID idea

13:01:42 <MrMobodies> that's all I can find in the shops selling
13:01:42 <MrMobodies> two of them like that in a space of a year but the other cannister was failing
13:01:42 <MrMobodies> it seems their idea is for the chair to clamp on your back and follow as you bend.
13:01:42 <MrMobodies> Yep this has become the latest stupid trend
13:01:42 <MrMobodies> https://www.flowoffice.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Flow-York5163-2-500x333.jpg
13:01:42 <MrMobodies> see how they slope so far back
13:01:42 <MrMobodies> worse than this one I just swapped for a dining table chair
13:01:42 <MrMobodies> if they are like that they should have proper lumbar support to adjust them in and I have seen chairs that do that before
13:01:42 <MrMobodies> What do you think of those type of chairs with the sloping back?
