I’ve been running into issues with trying to post the log file data. There’s something in there that causes the reply button to hang indefinitely.

This is the log file with the Config USB plugged in. This is the config settings I used.

For reference, This is the log file of the installation without the Config USB.

I got the information by connecting to http://homeassistant.local:8123/

I get the following screen:

I put the log file here since it comes out as a long run on sentence in lemmy.

I have another SD card with a functioning version of HA OS that’s currently controlling my lights and switches. I don’t remember how I got the internet working with it but I can still connect to http://homeassistant.local:8123/ as well as directly through the wired IP address so I don’t believe the port is damaged. Unfortunately I can’t update it because I get an error about no internet connection. I can still add add-ons and such so It’s a bit confusing to me.

I only have a laptop computer so I don’t actually own a keyboard. I don’t know anyone nearby who I could borrow one from either.

I created the USB drive in Linux, as well as the file and assumed it was okay.

I did this: aa@DellG5:/media/aa/CONFIG/network$ file my-network my-network: ASCII text

I’m not sure if that helps, I just checked from here.

The actual router rented out by the service provider. I don’t think they would be happy with me messing with their property.

I also lived somewhere else where I didn’t have access to the main router so I use the extender as my personal network for file transfers, a few lights with a couple switches and my terrarium thermostat. If anything happens to the main router, I can just turn my extender into an access point and still have my personal network.

TP-Link requires an account to use my own extender which annoys me. Their app redirects my connection to my extender through their cloud service. It’s not my VPN because I can still connect through the browser. Seems shadey and I don’t like having the account already.

Fortunately the ISP provided modem/router has DNS support. I managed to install Adguard as an add-on in Ha OS. I just need to figure out why HA OS refuses to change my IPv4 address to static mode. After that I can change the DNS address and hopefully I can get rid of ads in my house.

So today I learned the difference between an integration and add-on in HA OS. Adguard seems like the most reasonable solution for me.

That makes sense. I guess it’s not necessary for me to put OpenWRT on there. More than anything, I’m just severely annoyed I must log into an online account just to access my WiFi extender’s settings. I can deal with that issue at a later time.

We may never know the true intentions behind the attacks because we aren’t Orcas. That should not mean we must escalate the situation between humans and orcas. Using more noise and susbtances to fend off one species may have unintended affects in other species or ecosystems.

If they are targetting objects that are luxuries of humans (for example a boat or yatch) then we humans should consider just not participating in those activities. We should not be introducing more sophisticated solutions which may come with even more unforeseen consequences. In this case, I believe less is more. The less we humans invade their space, the less likely either human or orca is to be injured or killed. If this is just an Orca cultural fad then it may mean this destructive behavior will disappear quickly if they are left alone.

Human enjoyment or satisfaction does not have to come from distressing or endangering other life. Sentient or not.

Regardless of Orca intention or perspective, I’m still rooting for the Orcas. It’s their home. We humans have caused way more damage to their homes than they have to our boats and yachts. Their damage to our stuff is totally justified in my eyes.

I don’t think it has to do with a “whales are sacred” mentality. Humans with our modern technologies are invasive, loud and destructive. We travel across the whole world in loud, dangerous, harmful and polluting vehicles. We also take from this planet far more than we return with absolutely no respect for the complex and diverse yet fragile ecosystems we live within.

Here we have a species of dolphin that are working together to try and stop another invasive species from threatening their home. Humans have a long and rich history with the sea but we are still land animals that are invading and disrupting their home and way of life. These Orcas are defending themselves. As humans, our reaction should be to acknowledge their right to defend themselves and leave their home alone. We should not escalate by introducing even more noise and substances. Instead it would be wiser to look within ourselves and see that our luxuries should not be causing so much distress to other sentient life.

I personally believe the Orcas and any other wild life have the right to defend their home just like any indigenous people who want to live in balance with nature. We should be stewards of this planet and respect the life it gave us by respecting the life around us. We should not be waging active or passive wars on everything above or below the waters.

!Terrariums@kbin.social would fit under hobbies.

I’m hoping in the future it can grow and expand to other communities like bioactive. It’s one of the niche communities I miss from reddit.
