Exactly. Best place to be.

I am lesbian - love them A LOT in a sexual way and for comfort.

Yeah it’s essentially a trigger. I have a few purposes. One is for my dumb washing machine plugged into an energy monitoring smart plug. After it registers the washing is done, I’ll get alerts through the house in intervals until I get up and scan the NFC tag on the washing machine (I forget to hang out washing.

As I’m in a rental and I can’t have smart switches so I have smart globes and put tags on the switches to toggle the lights.

One by my bedside table to turn off all the lights and smart plugs.

One on my front door to set my away from home scene.

I also have a signed band poster hung on the wall with one, which opens the album in Spotify.

Good fun.

NFC tags are cheap and fun

The Connoisseur baked cookie one I cannot stop eating this winter. I only buy it if it’s on special though.

I’m having success with TubeSync through docker compose.

Party looks killer to me

Not a streaming service but JJ has a fair amount of variety and no ads. I also use Spotify, but it took a while for the algorythims to become decent.

Happy first birthday Rosie, you’re absolutely gorgeous.

Yeah the Girls - Fisher, Meryll

I had delivery recently and asked the driver about this. Can confirm they’re sized to fit the crates.

Aw yeah this looks really good! Got a recipe?

Dude he has so much money he spends on trivial shit like buying Twitter and flying on jets. Who cares if the wife gets some of the money? She’s doing all the care. Does he really hate her that much?

It’s shameful to be so rich and you still fight to reduce the amount of support money for your family (kids and their Mum). I bet when she was in his bed he promised her everything in the world back then.

It’s a light globe for the house that has some sort of connectivity with it. Like wifi, bluetooth, zigbee so that you can control it remotely or automate it.

Ooh nice. I need to figure out some other type of bulb. The ones I have are TP Link Tapo Wifi and they’re too unreliable.

Oh and you can put Adguard on home assistant too as an add on.

I started my home assistant journey with 4 smart globes, a Google home speaker with a pi 4. I learned how to use it and started integrating things I don’t need hardware for, such as shopping/Todo lists, weather, Spotify, last.fm, calendars, basically anything I can learn without hardware. Right now I’m working on getting a shopping list sent to me when I enter the shops zone.

Then I bought a bunch of NFC tags (they’re cheap) for medication reminders, kitty litter reminders/tracking. I have a music poster in my house I’ve stuck an NFC tag to and it opens up the album on Spotify, turns on Bluetooth and connects to my speaker.

I’ve slowly been adding more devices as I go along due to cost constraints. Not that smart home stuff is expensive, I just can’t afford to do it all at once. Which also gives me time to consider/research smart devices before I buy.

100% recommend. It’s addicting actually.
