Took me two whole days to get my home setup up and running again. It works now!

Fucking hell, this is some kind of different shit, I have to set up everything from scratch because TWO of my backups aren’t really working. What a pain in the ass. I’m actually ditching most of the HA goodies and going back into Home.app for whatever I can. Just because it worked BETTER. It was slower – yes, but it wasn’t dying out of the blue.

Why I’ve connected new HDD to dietpi setup? Because of magic my setup just blew up, I’ve got backups, but it’s 1:30 AM and I can’t turn my lights off. Holy fuck this is my smart home nightmare.

I think I might enjoy using iPad Pro as my mobile computing device of choice but there’s no way in hell I’m buying that with my own money.

Bought myself next HDD for my Plex library. +2 TB it is.

Autistic part of me loves that I’ve bought exactly the same t-shirts. Nine of them to be exact.

Holy fuck, Microsoft Edge added live opened tabs sync and it works SO FUCKING FAST. Thanks, I’m moving to Edge immediately on my Mac and PC.

I mean… this is one way of starting your weekend I guess?

Cola Zero Zero (without sugar and caffeine) is the best Cola and nobody can convince me otherwise.

Jonathan from Australian Survivor is better Jeff than Jeff is. I said what I said.

I don’t care about updated iPads as long as they didn’t update the mini. Justice for iPad mini, please update it to the M1 or whatever.

Dear diary, today my Sonos just blew up and I had to reconnect everything. Apart from that Aqara cameras were disappearing every couple minutes from home app but I did unfuck that as well. Today was a good day.

I know what I said about having Arc on Windows but it’s also the buggiest and slowest browser I’ve ever used.

I adore it when my Aqara camera randomly disconnects from HomeKit, forcing me to re-bind it to the system. It’s moments like these that truly make me appreciate the dependability of these cameras. Fucking hell…
