230V 16A electric floor heating thermostat? in c/homeassistant@lemmy.world

[–] Amax 1 points 2 months ago

I bought some sinopé thermostats and I’m happy with them. The have zigbee versions that I’m using and other than having to resend the time on daylight savings time changes they’ve been solid. I think they have a model that supports a thermocouple for floor applications.

Something like this happened to me. Change the static IP (configure your NAS to get its IP from DHCP) and fix the IP on the UniFi UI.

As an immigrant that came to the West Coast I appreciate what you say here as it helps me (us) understand better the reasoning behind the banning of religious symbols in Quebec.

Skyrim Special Edition update: a mixed bag of Creation Club changes, Steam Deck support, and mod mayhem in c/pcgaming

That’s my take too. I use DoH and to work around this I created a hosts file with some archive sites.

High chances you're using cloudflare dns. Google for cloudflare archive.is to find out more.

What was the best "worst. movie. ever"? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] Amax 5 points 2 years ago

Without a doubt, for me it's Re-animator. This movie also introduced me to HP Lovecraft.

Hit me with your sci fi books starter pack in c/printsf

[–] Amax 4 points 2 years ago

Iain Banks. All of his sci-fi books.

I recently saw an article about him on The Guardian that will be more eloquent than I can be.

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/jun/29/where-to-start-with-iain-banks

Just be aware that he wrote both fiction and sci-fi. Iain M Banks is how he signed his sci-if ones.

Best distro to turn my old laptop into a server? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] Amax 12 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Have you considered installing Proxmox? That way you can then test as many distros as possible and even play a bit with containers. I configured it recently and I'm having a lot of fun being able to take snapshots and then doing crazy things with an easy way to recover from my failed experiments.

How does cross posting work? in c/lemmy_ca_support

[–] Amax 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Thanks both for the explanation.

It would be nice to have a page that shows the connection status between servers; I'll have to look for where to suggest new features, that way people can go to that page to see if something is going on instead of asking like I did.

Growing pains I guess.... after a while we'll be used to this. :)

Hi! From lemmy.ca I subscribed and posted on a lemmy.world hosted community (I subscribed a couple of days ago), after posting I went to lemmy.world and I cannot see my post.

Is there a delay in sharing information between servers? Or is this expected behaviour?

I also noticed that the community related information has different values, specifically the number of subscribes, on lemmy.world it says the community has 5k but on lemmy.ca it says 109. Is 109 the number of lemmy.ca subscribers to the community?

Cheers!
