Do NOT “just have a quick look” at your #homeassistant app while on holiday and accidentally turn on all the lights at 2am, terrifying your apartment-sitter and leading her to believe in poltergeists.

Oops yeah those buttons are a little bit too easy to click

@aaronpk We just had our house remodeled and they installed another breaker panel that doubled the number of circuits. Some Saturday I need to map out a good listing of everything.

Yes please definitely map those out, preferably before everything is finished 😅

Ok we actually should hang out again tho since we're both in Portland instead of waiting to randomly bump in to each other in Lisbon like before 😅

ohh I just realized that the reason I was in Lisbon was because I was at one of the W3C meetings of the Social Web Working Group, working on the IndieWeb/ActivityPub specs! How poetic. 😇

Everyone's talking about revealing their Twitter crushes. TBH if I follow you, I'd probably date you, and might already have a mild crush on you, so, uh. DM me while you can, especially if you're in Portland. Let's hangout!

Now Musk says the top priority for the company this weekend is ensuring Twitter does an awesome job to support the World Cup, according to an all staff email.

This event has required a ton of work over the years from engineers and has prompted widespread outages.

There was no vision shared with us. No 5 year plan like at Tesla. Nothing more than what anyone can see on Twitter. It allegedly is coming for those who stayed but the ask was blind faith and required signing away the severance offer before seeing it. Pure loyalty test.

@aaronpk yikes. Is there a sticker inside the breaker box as to who installed and approved it?

I mean, it's a 40 unit apartment building, you'd think someone would have double checked these things

2) it took me 5 tries to find the breaker for the dishwasher. The one labeled dishwasher didn't turn anything off. Eventually I found that the one labeled "kit lights/living room" turns off the dishwasher

I can't wait to overengineer the crap out of the circuits for my new house.

Yesss give me 20A outlets on the ceiling and at twice the minimum density on the walls, preferably on two different circuits!

And why not throw a few floor outlets in there while you're at it

Whoever did the electrical wiring in this apartment should have their license revoked.

1) the circuit marked "bedrooms" serves literally every lower outlet in the entire place, including both bedrooms and the living room, and the only place to hook up an AC ...

Please stop acting like Mastodon is the "Linux of Twitter." It's literally just Twitter with the signup process of email or old IM clients. The normal use is virtually identical.
Not even close to the accessibility issues of Linux.
Does it need work? Yes. Stop writing shit off.
