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!

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 🌙
Oh and by the way, @shawnp0wers, you may find #90DaysOfMayhem hard to produce at times, but try watching all of them when you are way behind! 😄
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
Bedankt voor je overstap (?) naar Mastodon, @MartinDeBoer!
Weer iemand hier die ik ken 😊
Green hair rules!
Implicit statements about not agreeing with bad stuff also rule!

Matter: als grote bedrijven, die je niet vertrouwt, gaan samenwerken aan een universele standaard voor wat dan ook, dan moeten op alle niveaus alarmbellen afgaan

Did you notice that rather than on PC where you download a generic image which you can just live boot from USB, on ARM every distro needs to support every device individually? It's not just lacking mainline Linux support, it's also lacking a generic way to boot these devices like x86 has. #SPIflash can solve this perfectly by implementing UEFI on a dedicated chip but current new @PINE64 devices are lacking this. Let's get loud to make them add this again in new devices!
I find it utterly annoying that 'Refuse/decline all cookies' on most websites implies 'but please, do ask me again next time!'
Wil je echt dat jouw 'slimme' deurbel en 'slimme' assistent niet meer werken als er bij Amazon in Amerika iets uitvalt? Gebruik liever een lokaal systeem zoals @home_assistant

Please, don't panic: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has been published on October 12, 1979.
Exactly 42 years ago 🙊
Ineens had ik Red Box in mijn hoofd, een nummer van het album Picture Book van Simply Red... uit 1985. Wat een gaaf album is dat nog steeds!
Waar zijn de jaren gebleven en wat wordt er nu toch soms een rommel geproduceerd.
Als je het met me eens bent, boost dit dan niet :-)

We beat Microsoft and Google to be the collaboration platform for Gaia-X #digitalsovereignty
Goedemorgen. Vandaag is mijn tweede dag van de workshop "Hoe wapen ik mezelf tegen corona". Het wordt weer een ultrakorte bijeenkomst, net als vijf weken geleden.
