In addition to what others have already posted, I suspect that this might be an attempt to evade spam/phishing filters that are looking for an IP address with a specific regular expression. Having a fake IP address that doesn’t match the traditional ^((25\[0-5]|(2\[0-4]|1\d|\[1-9]|)\d)\\.?\b){4}$ format might let this message slip through.

HK G36-C no?

was this today? I also need half an hour or so to get going on a friday.

ah yeah I meant to type “enable”.

thanks - changed

they’re all attack attempts. set up fail2ban, enforce ssh key-based authentication, run it in a non standard port and create firewall allow lists for trusted users, networks or countries if you can. make sure everything is patched frequently.

expect consequences for running onion hidden services - captchas and denied service for that IP address, but also attacks against the hidden service itself.

Tuya devices are super cheap, often sold as massive loss leaders and frequently rebadged as other brands (MOES comes to mind, as well as lots of “iThing” type brands)

It is not surprising at all that lots of folks eschew the mobile app and use HA to control them. Also the Local Tuya integration is difficult to use and often doesn’t work at all.

I made a free forever server and it got deleted after 2 weeks. As part of the server running I scheduled a daily rsync backup to my NAS and provisioned it with terraform so I can build it quickly again.

There’s also this cool Zigbee IR blaster device that can learn the IR codes and then fire them out from HA if you don’t have the stomach for ESPHome.

I bought an LG commercial display, which was roughly double the cost of an equivalent LG TV.

It’s awesome, it has 2x HDMI inputs and no smart features at all. It is supposed to go in video walls (big arrays of tiled TVs) so don’t need all that AI stuff.

Control is via RS232, so I soldered a connector onto an ESP-32 and installed ESPHome on it to control power, volume and screen.

A soundbar isn’t quite right for me, but again I would recommend something with RS232 and use an ESP-32 (if you like hacking) or a commercial rs232 to ethernet adapter (like this) if you don’t.

isn’t it “poppers?” a common party drug that it supposed to be left open in a room and passively inhaled?

I use the Hive integration and just let the Hive stuff do its work, monitoring via Home Assistant occasionally. My setup is the Hive thermostat, boiler relay and the hub

I went down a rabbit hole of TRVs, automations, Shelly relays talking to the boiler, zigbee thermometers everywhere, and it got complicated. Ultimately the big risk was the system getting stuck or in a state where the boiler would be on all the time and cost a fortune, so I got rid of it all.

If Hive no longer meets my needs I know I can just pair the hardware to my zigbee network and stop using the cloud service.

beneath a steel sky vibes

but it carries 1000 tons of cargo. Ships with that capacity (fully cellular container ships, but not Panamax cost millions per year to run - five figures daily. There is real potential here.

local control via wifi or zigbee, nothing that connects to the internet.

yes, that’s what kids want in their chocolate, fruit.

there’s a good tutorial to host ollama and a vector database here

Nowhere near as annoying as when you turn on your VPN to get “imgur is over capacity” for half the posts on lemmy.

Have a look at the LinkedGo wall thermostats. They have Shelly chips inside so rock solid and great compatibility with HA.

maybe just a window/door sensor that uses a magnet to detect closure?
