my NAS is screaming and i can't figure out why

[smallercommand]

Sometimes (frequently) I just want tech how-to videos (and MS articles, come to think) to start with an ingredient list. This is the hardware you need, these are the permissions, these are the licenses. Maybe

Okay so apparently smart watches cannot scan NFC tags.

Sad day.

But that's fine, I generally have my phone with me all the time for music anyway.

And NFC tags are cheap.

I'm so so excited to set up reminder things based on scanning NFC tags.

Reminders to wash/change the sheets.

Reminders to not let the laundry languish in the washing machine.

Reminders to do maintenance on things that only need it occasionally (and therfore are usually forgotten).

Reminders to take the trash bin to the curb every week because I have three different reminders already but I often accidentally swipe them away and they don't come back so I forget. 😤

I can already do so much useful stuff with just those tags, like... This is an ADHD/autism dream.

ADHD hyperfocus on setting up new routines via NFC? ☑

Autism delight over efficiency? ☑

Practical automated assistance that I control? ☑

This is basically just, "If your brain can't make your own executive functioning system, store-bought is fine."

Caregiving with Compassion: How Care Angels Can Help You Thrive in Personal Care"

Caregiving is one of the most rewarding roles you can take on, but it also comes with challenges that can feel overwhelming. Whether you're caring for a loved one, considering a career in caregiving, or seeking help for someone in need, the journey is deeply personal and requires compassion, patience, and expert guidance.

The Challenges of Caregiving: Why You Don’t Have to Face Them Alone

Caregiving can be physically and emotionally demanding. From managing daily tasks to dealing with the emotional weight of providing care, many caregivers feel isolated and unsure of how to approach certain situations. Here are some of the common challenges caregivers face:

Difficult Conversations with Loved Ones: Approaching sensitive topics, like discussing personal care needs or transitioning to professional care, can be uncomfortable and emotionally charged. It's easy to worry about hurting feelings or creating tension in your relationship.

Emotional Burnout: Caregiving often requires a significant emotional investment. The stress of balancing care with other responsibilities can lead to burnout, guilt, or feelings of inadequacy.

Finding the Right Support: Whether you’re looking for tips on providing personal care, seeking resources for respite, or trying to connect with others who understand your journey, it’s hard to know where to turn for help.

if one of those things enters my apartment, little miss wiretap is getting taken the fuck apart and reused for other things the thing people associate with alexa is just amazon's programming engineered to abuse your tendency for empathy and feelings, it's designed to say nice things because that gets you to like it and feel attracted to its presence the whole point is to make you consider it a member of family so you forget that you're giving a gigacorporation constant listening access to your home hell, i literally wrote a sort of small secretary bot for a chat channel a long time ago, using the same principles to experiment with a natural language UI, just, that thing didn't spy on you because it was made to do math and link git issues -- if you want a friend to talk to, i recommend looking for a nice discord group or whatever to join instead, and talking to people, rather than a chatbot that tries to gaslight you into giving away your private information

if you want the home automation aspects, HomeAssistant is a decent open-source solution, takes a bit of setup but afaik isn't *that* bad

i hate how they market alexa as a ‘member of the family’ like that’s SO fucking blatantly insidious and terrifying also if i wanted an untrustworthy/cold/emotionless machine in my life i’d just talk to my fuckin father

Home Assistant的WiZ整合其實做的挺好的。 不過不知道為什麼，設定燈光模式的地方卻要在「執行服務」裡面設定。 ---- # WiZ照明 / Wiz lights (圖片來源：特力屋) 在嘗試智慧家庭的初期，我先買了顆智慧燈泡來試試看。 選用智慧燈泡的理由很簡單：我想在鬧鐘響起的時候，一併亮起燈光。 在眾多智慧燈泡的選項中，我選擇了Philips 飛利浦 Wi-Fi WiZ 智慧照明 7.5W全彩燈泡(PW004)。 這顆燈泡的價格比其他的全彩智慧燈泡較貴，不過它採用的是入門比較容易的Wifi連結方式，而且內建了許多燈光模式場景。 以「壁爐」(fireplace)燈光模式來說，燈泡會選擇黃色與紅色等較暖的色調，以一定的速度逐漸轉換。 而這個速度是可以調整的參數。 其他廠商將之成為「流光模式」或「流光效果」。 看在這個效果的份上，儘管WiZ燈泡的價格略高了點，但還是買一顆回來試試吧。 ---- # Home Assistant整合WiZ / Wiz integration in Home Assistant。 將WiZ燈泡裝在燈座後，一開始我先照說明書的操作，在平板上安裝WiZ APP，將WiZ燈泡連上室內的無線路由器。 就跟大部分的智慧裝置一樣，這個操作並不困難。 我想難的地方應該是待會跟Home Assistant的整合吧？。 結果沒有，Home Assistant立刻就抓到WiZ燈泡。 確認加入後，它就直接整合成Home Assistant的設備之一了。 控制面板可以直接操控燈泡的開關、亮度、顏色、以及燈光模式。 至於燈光模式的切換速度，則是在旁邊的Effect Speed裡面設定。 看來WiZ燈泡已經整合就緒了。 那接下來就可以把它寫入自動化腳本中了吧。 # 如何在腳本裡使用WiZ燈泡 / Control a WiZ bulb in Scripts of Home Assistant。 在Home Assistant的自動化或腳本中，我們可以用Action控制WiZ燈泡。 不過如果是用「裝置」(Devices)找到WiZ燈泡，你會看到燈泡的可操控選項只有開啟、關閉、切換、增加亮度、降低亮度、��改燈光模式的速度(Effect speed)。 ## 設定燈光模式 / Set WiZ bulb's effect。 ---- 繼續閱讀 ⇨ 在Home Assistant設定飛利浦WiZ燈泡的燈光模式 / Set the Light Mode of Philips Wiz Bulbs in Home Assistant https://blog.pulipuli.info/2023/03/blog-post_711.html

if you really want smart home you can just add a microcontroller like an ESP32 that runs handwritten software and connect it to a HomeAssistant server in your basement and you'd still have the actually durable appliance doing the actual work

"smart appliances" fuck u i want them dumb as a brick and incidentally as sturdy and enduring
