It has been a real double #Anticoup for #JDVance this week. His boy #Orban took a whipping that the #polls and he got bugger all out of the #PeaceTalks with Iran too. Couldn’t happen to a nicer Quisling.

Today’s #dinner was simple, some #soup I made from both shop-bought and home-grown #vegetables, with #potatoes, #carrots, including our own #GarlicChives and #SpringOnions. I added some #GreekYoghurt, a little chopped #Chillies and some #ChineseVinegar to add a bit of tang and it tastes great, particularly with some of my wife’s home-made #Sourdough #FlatBread.

@gutenberg_org@mastodon.social @wikipedia@wikis.world By coincidence, I read that recently. The first time was four decades ago.

@itsfoss A waste of hardware, just reformat the disk and install it over the current system.

@wyliecoyoteuk@mastodon.org.uk Yes, mine also needs a third-party integration and I'm not sure if I can control it yet but at least I can see the data it is producing within #HA.

So far my #HomeAssistant instance had been running on the local subnet, behind the #Router's #Firewall and so was inaccessible from outside my house’s network. However, I’ve now got it onto the #Internet. Of course, there are inherent risks and potential problems with this if malicious actors want to crack the system and so I made sure that it’s only accessible as an #Encrypted connection via #HTTPS rather than #HTTP.
