Snow. In Georgia. I miss Colorado during days like this.

Because in Colorado I didn't have people taking out my mailbox and needing to be dug out of my front yard. 🙄

Guess I will be heading to the hardware store.

But on a Friday.

As a content creator myself, this is insane for a multitude of reasons.

Also reinforces my decision to say no to paid ads.

I also don't see a way to avoid this type of stuff unless the monetize content changes.

One of the things I like about the Fediverse... apps like Openvibe make it easy to see all my accounts in one app.

This is a good suggestion!
It’s the season of giving. May I recommend to donate to your favorite open source maintainer.

For Home Assistant ecosystem: check docs for your favorite integration, look who maintains it, hit up their GitHub sponsors!

Is it just me...

Or is the #homeassistant scripts ui broken?

I start creating a new script.

Switch it to edit in yaml.

Paste in my yaml i have.

Click edit in visual editor.

And my yaml is gone! Go back to yaml mode and yep. Gone.

It's got to just be me right?

New Slacker Labs video!

I walk you through how to build a "last assistant" sensor so as soon as you trigger an HA voice assistant, #homeassistant will know which room you are in.

Which means the command "turn off the lights" will already know which lights you mean.

I feel like this week last 2 weeks...

And I still haven't got to work on my video.

About 2 months ago I did something drastic.

Switched from IPhone to a
Android.

Literally broke my relationships with my family cause everyone else is iphone.

Things are pretty stable now.

But I still can't type on this keyboard. The spacing is all weird. Haha.
