  • Just got some power measuring plugs. Home Assistant and immich-running raspberry pi + NAS (dual 20TB in raid 1) + switch clock in at around 30W. Surround receiver playing music ups that by 90W. After a minor water leak I added 5 leak sensors to the system that will blink lights and send texts if they detect anything.

    The biggest problem is that I’m still running lights through hue and some of them have an annoying tendency to drop off the network…



  • I’ve had brake wires snap on me multiple times. On my old bike both brake handles broke (not simultaneously) rendering the brake in question broken. The chain coming loose is expected.

    My latest experience is the handlebar rod breaking leaving the handlebar and the front wheel unjoined - I still have a 6x2 cm scar on my left forearm from this experience (road rash). I was NOT driving that fast, but taking a tumble with a bike can be eventful. I’m hopeful I will never experience losing a wheel while driving.
