I have almost always had good luck. Just one bad experience comes to my mind - my host in Germany was a psychopath. I didn't have any problems with her, in fact I hardly ever met her during a one week stay. But I forgot the heating on when I left. She got so pissed off that she left a long, insulting review, where she said shit about how we never got along. Airbnb refused to delete the review, so I deleted my account. By the way, I don't pay $200 for a night. I take the cheapest $20 room that I can find.

Anyway, I created a new Airbnb account. The nice thing is that I was able to use a referral link from my wife again to get the referral bonus. So by deleting and recreating my account, I actually made $50.

Has anyone fitted the Aqara Smart Roller Shade Controller into roller shades? (www.aqara.com)
 

I asked Aqara about what kind of shades I need with them. They told me that the minimum diameter for the tube is 40 mm. I found out that I need adapters for the correct tube diameter and profile, but when I asked Aqara about where I can find them, they just told me that they don't sell the adapters and cannot help with them.

Aliexpress sells some promising looking adapters for a 50 mm tube. The inner diameter of the tube seems to be more important, in this case 47 mm: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000169001089.html

Aqara has an installation video on YouTube, but it doesn't discuss what kind of tube or adapters are needed. A stop-frame from the video shows that they use a tube that seems like it could fit with the above adapter.

I also found a 3D model of an adapter for a 43 mm tube: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/aqara-srsc-m01-smart-roller-shade-controller-43mm Measuring from the model, the inner diameter of the tube should be 39 mm and the profile is a bit different.

I haven't yet bought anything. I guess I would need to find an adapter that fits in with the motor and roller shades that fit in with the adapter. The motor doesn't have to be Aqara as long as it's compatible with Zigbee2mqtt.

I spent a couple of weeks bouldering in Fontainebleau and in the south of Switzerland. This was my favorite problem from the trip. I'm not a great slab climber so it took me a while to figure this out and I had a lot of fun trying. If you ask me, a rock won't get more beautiful than this.

Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip? in c/[email protected]

I don't see how the system would change unless people stop tipping, but as a foreigner I don't see it as my responsibility to change their system.

What's your favorite memory from the early internet? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I bought an Internet connection and read from a computer magazine that I'm able to connect to an FTP server for downloading files. (I don't think I needed it for anything, I was just curious of the new technology.) I remember that when I connected to the server, it displayed instructions that one should use "cd x/y/z" to change to a subdirectory, instead of separate commands "cd x", "cd y", "cd z", to save network bandwidth.

Lemmy 3 day no poop challenge in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

When I did my military service (mandatory in Finland), we were living in tents for a week and the only way to poop was in a bushcraft toilet in the forest. I thought that's gross and tried to survive the camp without pooping. I think I did five days without pooping. The next night I woke up and had to run out of the tent and use whatever toilet there was.

Are communities server-specific? i.e, is the "Gaming" community on lemmy.ml different from the one on, say, beehaw.org? in c/[email protected]

How can I search for communities across servers that are particularly active on a given topic?

Should separate instances of Lemmy be topic-based? What else, if not? in c/[email protected]

The thing I'm struggling the most with getting into Fediverse is that I have to create an account on a specific instance. I don't identify myself as part of a single community. I'm interested in several different topics and active in different communities. I guess it doesn't matter that much which instance I select, but somehow I have to select one instance.
