Any plan to update the GUI for conditional logic inside of automations? It's really clumsy to do IF/THEN or switch style constructions. Too much visual space and clunky overall.

There's no such thing as a low energy rich country. Making energy expensive risks dooming Europe to poverty and eventual conquest.

Apparently warming is compounded by the eruption, low sulphur shipping fuel rules, low amounts of Saharan dust and changes by El Niño according to this: https://www.carbonbrief.org…

Back in the day I played a prank on a fellow sysadmin by adding an 'echo "sleep 1" >> .login' Took him a week to figure it out, he was not pleased. :)

5 over 1 construction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-over-1 It's awesome, it should be everywhere.

You think ChatGPT isn't good because it bullshits some times?

You haven't met a bullshitter then. ChatGPT can be a bullshitter. We built a bullshitter.

Lots of Barry's out there, one of them even got elected president and shared his knowledge with the world quite widely. Half the people took him credulously. Point being, yes the L…

If you built a 1000sf detached home in North America you'd have a hell of a time selling it later on outside of some very specific conditions as it'll not be much cheaper than a 15…

Some good, basic guidelines here. However a lot is going to depend on your local market and what the trades are familiar with. In smaller markets trying to push exotic techniques, …

This is what a builder would do in North America, they're the general contractor and will generally budget for you, manage the project and the trades. They'll ensure quality and be…

You might have trouble finding good builders for such a small job. Depends on the market I suppose. Also you'll run in to restrictions on some land, some areas will not let you bui…

Sure, as I said, different geographies have different requirements.

It's expensive and it doesn't cool. Also doesn't circulate the air. I have some fancy filters and humidifiers as part of the system I'm putting in.
