"...because it makes us money" could be put at the end of any slogan to make it 100% honest.

Not that irrelevant. They even have their own distro: Mariner

None pizza. Left beef.

That being said, don't discount your expertise in your lived experience. The importance of theoretical and experiential expertise is equal in my eyes.

Maybe not directly correlated, but I would hire someone with 10 years experience over someone who studied the subject for 10 years.

I love how our brains feel like they absolutely have to say something when the best course of action is silence.

However, in your case, I wish I could have been there to see the reactions.

I'm a super beginner so I've been working on basic chords and playing along with a click track. My God is tempo difficult for me especially as I haven't fully mastered fingering positions.

But hey, I'm a little bit better than I was yesterday and that's all I'm aiming for.

Hope leads me to excitement for this game.

Historical precedence reminds me that it will be over-hyped and under-delivered.

I can't. :(

This thread is about Wireshark, not WireGuard. Two different things.

It just feels more alive and real here... If that makes any sense.

I thought the cold shot to the hole was going to be horrible, but it's actually a little refreshing.

No, but you get a reply from a different stranger and that's the microdose of dopamine we all live for.

Seems like most of us are "list people".

How do you all prevent the list from growing too large and just becoming another overwhelming thing?

Whoa buddy, tone down the moxie.

Which would be fine if they were the only ones on the road, but when their dumb ass puts me in the ditch too...

"What do you mean the presents don't want to work anymore?! That have to! They're... They're Pesents!"

The fact that they say "nickname" is insulting. As kids that are trans discover and explore their identity they change their name to match where they're at in their journey. It's not a nickname, it's just simply their name.

This was a while ago. My college didn't have a CS major (small liberal arts college) so they brought in an adjunct professor who was a Director of IT of a small market research firm. After 4 semesters as his student, he offered me a job my senior year. Longest interview ever.

That was over 20 years ago.

My current job (big tech) was from my friend who I worked with coming up to me and saying "A recruiter from [company] is calling you tomorrow. I gave them your name." Never in a million years did I think I was at that caliber, but I went through it anyway because the worst they could say is "no".

They said "yes".

Didn't he already plead guilty though?

I can't give you any ST specific advice, but I figure I can share my Hubitat to HA experience as there may be some tidbits that could be useful for you.

The biggest bit of advice I can give you is around the other people in your house and ensuring their experience is similar or better than what it was. I did this two ways: First, as mentioned in the other comment, link ST to HA and slowly transitions devices to native HA (I have z-wave and thread/zigbee radio). Second, I bought two low-end Android tablets, installed the native HA app, and created meaningful dashboards. The UI change alone between Hubitat and HA was a huge win. Not sure what ST's UI is like, but Hubitat blows chunks.

A lot of your transition is going to come down to how the other people in your household interact with your smart devices. If you use Google or Alexa, then make sure to keep similar names of devices or groups as you move them over to HA. If you primarily use the mobile app, take the time to walk everyone else through the UI and make meaningful, mobile friendly dashboards. If you rely mostly on automations through sensors, make sure you set up the automations in HA as a part of transitioning devices.

Take your time, I rushed a few devices and got some constructive feedback from the wife about it. Little did she know I had already transferred 50% of the devices.

Learn the YAML configuration patterns and capabilities through templating for automations. The UI does an "OK-ish" job, but you can really unlock the power of HA if you take a bit to learn how to set up automations using templates and calling the back end services. Learning this took HA from "slightly better" to "way better" than Hubitat.

Enable Home Assistant Community Store, commonly referred to as HACS, to get access to a lot of open-source tools and add-ons for HA. Development is very active in the community for HA and there are a lot of fantastic integrations and UI upgrades.

I can't stress the "take your time" part enough. It's been tough for me because I get distracted easily and since this impacts the productivity of my family I wanted to make it the best for them. It's been about 6 months since I've started the transition and I finally just powered down my Hubitat yesterday. The family is enjoying the automations and dashboards much better than anything Hubitat provided, but it definitely took easing them into it.

Hope you enjoy and feel free to let me know if you have questions - I'm still a beginner at it, but have really liked the platform so far.
