For the record, certainly not all my friends moved here, only a couple ๐Ÿ˜Š
But I know them in real life, too. Which helps, I guess.

Furthermore, and this may just be me, I am more comfortable chatting here than over there. So I'm good.

@shawnp0wers I understand what you are saying.

For me, Mastodon/Twitter is very much a red pill / blue pill situation. I am glad with the increase on the former platform and I do not plan on tweeting anything anymore.

However (and I know this is easy for me to say), real friendships (even virtual ones) should not depend on a platform, I think.

Do I ask myself unnecessary questions and then answer them?
- Yeah, I guess I do

Er zijn netwerkkabeltesters van 2.000 en 3.000 euro, maar met deze tester van het Nederlandse / van nog geen zes tientjes heb ik snel een verbindingsprobleem in mijn netwerkkabel gelokaliseerd. Heel fijn, aangezien die kabel bijna 40 meter lang is en deels onder de grond zit

So here comes the geeky part: now when these lights have been turned off for 4 minutes (during the night), the automation will switch them on for 1 second and then switch them off again. This way the state is remembered and they will be in the 'on' state when somebody enters the room in the morning.

You can select all sorts of blinking patterns for those lights, but we just want them to stay on. However, several minutes after they are turned off (I suspect 250 seconds) they revert to the default blinking state and we manually have to select the 'on' state again, which is quite annoying.

What's your geekiest @homeassistant Christmas automation?

I have one that turns on the (non-smart) Christmas tree lights when the first motion is detected in the morning. Of course that's not my geekiest one!

We had some rain today and it's not too cold. That's all.
I read some bad weather is expected in parts of the US. Hope you can enjoy the holidays!

@ON8SD
Laten we het beperken tot de lengte van de periode tussen zonsopkomst en zonsondergang en stellen dat langer beter is ๐Ÿค“

Kortste dag vandaag! Yaay!
Nu wordt het alleen nog maar beter

It's beyond bedtime and I still haven't cleaned up my Christmas lights automation in Home Assistant ๐ŸŒ™

Oh and by the way, @shawnp0wers, you may find hard to produce at times, but try watching all of them when you are way behind! ๐Ÿ˜„

I just finished watching 'Day #45 - The IPMI Debacle' by @shawnp0wers and I think he has replaced Douglas Adams' rule of always bringing your towel by: "Always bring your keyboard". A memorable moment

Years ago I utterly disliked Twitter for not allowing image providers like TwitPic anymore. Their search used to be bad (but I haven't touched their client in years). And I have always disliked them for hampering third party clients.
People get worked up about Musk now... well, I stopped caring a long time ago

I'm curious if there is any sense of whether #mastodon has or is developing a generational identity?

Anecdotal or data-driven takes welcome, but as a start, indicate your #generation below and boost. Discussion of the assumptions behind this welcomed!

(I had to lump older generations in with boomers because evidently surveys are limited to four choices.) #generation #GenX #GenZ #millenials #Boomers

Somehow I think you need a third person in the middle. Ginger.
