It’s rare to get a good photo of this one. Say hello to Lily. #CatsOfMastodon

I've been singing the praises of #Shelly as a company as I've had good luck with some of the Shelly Plus 2 PM relays, but I've not had such good luck with their smart plugs. I have two plugs stuck in some weird state. They're showing as unavailable in #HomeAssistant. During that troubleshooting, I realized they had updated their app. Ok, no problem. I'll get the new one, but I couldn't log into the new app with the old credentials. Ok, I'll create a new account on the new platform, but now I can't import my devices as they say they're associated with another account.Well, that sucks, but fine, let's just reset the devices to factory. But even after they're still associated with the other account... I presume on Shelly Cloud or whatever they call their dumb thing.I've mentioned a few times here how I have struggled with ESPHome devices because I don't think I'm quite managing things correctly. At least ESP Home is 100% fully local—no 3rd party app is required. No account. My devices don't get registered with the mothership.All that to say, I'm going to take a closer look at #KaufHA plugs for smart plugs, and probably #Zooz relays for relay applications.

@jan how do you join devices to your wifi network? Admittedly, I didn't look very hard but I don't see a way to bypass the sign-in screen of the app.

Hey #fediverse I've not been paying much attention lately but I'm interested in having an account hosted at my own vanity domain but I do not want to run a single account instance. I'd love to pay a hosting provider, much like I can pay #Fastmail to host my mailboxes at michaelharley.net, but with my mastodon accounts.Is this feature on any feature roadmaps for mastodon?

@ChrisWere, I updated the post. I don't want to use a single account instance. When I tried this previously, there were challenges with discoverability because of how federation works. Do you know if this has been updated in the last year or so?

AMD named a processor the Ryzen AI 300? I think we all know why they put AI in the name... stupid marketing people thinking that it will somehow rub off some magic dust on their thing?Hate.

@jon I feel more and more people are tired of the enshitification of Windows and Mac. Maybe I'm projecting though.

@thomas_klopf many people mention kiosk software for tablet dashboards like that. Don't recall specific names but 'kiosk tablet software' should get you most of the way there.I'd probably put them all over the dang place. Near the front door, near the back door and one in my fish room as I have many aquarium sensors and automations
