Yeah. I ran it in docker for years and it was such a hassle compared to HAOS. The switch to VM was best decision I made regarding HA.

Sorry, I didn’t phrase that clearly. Sunn O))) was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. GY!BE was terrible.

Sunn built up such an intensity and anticipation, and during the show they put a hell of a show. Fog covered the venue… they had vocalist Attila with them who was wearing a robe covered in mirror fragments and he had lasers on the end of each finger that he would bounce off the mirrors and into the crowd/fog. I’ve been to a few hundred shows and this light show alone would rank it up there, but the performance was something else too. It was the most intense and loud show ever (don’t forget your hearos, lol), you could feel your skin and clothing vibrate. Supposedly the Brooklyn Masonic Temple has no noise ordinance to follow because they’re grandfathered out of it, or something like that. It was loud.

With Godspeed You! Black Emperor I would have been better off if I stayed home and listened to low quality mp3. No stage presence, no engaging the crowd, nothing notable to say really. They sounded off and bored, like they were doing this because their family was held hostage. I don’t know what I expected, but it was at least decent sound quality. This was not long after they got back together, so maybe that played into it.

I saw Sunn and Godspeed You Black Emperor at different times in the same venue (Brooklyn Masonic Temple) and they were both the best show and the worst show I’ve ever seen in my life, respectively. Walked out halfway through Godspeed, it was so bad. Anyway, Sunn O))) rocks

Sorry you’re getting downvoted. I don’t know if I agree with you, but back in the golden ages of Reddit the rule was don’t downvote because you disagree, downvote because it’s a shit comment. I don’t think your comment was shit… I think we’ve brought way too much of modern reddit to lemmy.

I’m sure they checked first, they just weren’t very good at checking.

indeed. It comes in as reallyshadywebsite@squidspinachfootball.xyz, so not only can you easily filter/label them, but you can immediately tell who had a security breach and/or sold your email.

Google doesn’t even factor into this. Go to your registrar of choice (namecheap, etc), buy a domain, and setup that domain to forward all emails to your email address.

So if you have abraxas@gmail.com and you just bought abraxas.me, in namecheap you can setup *@abraxas.me to go to your gmail account, and then sign up for sites using whatever@abraxas.me you want. There’s no + or - involved, use any word you want. Signing up for lemmy.world? lemmyworld@abraxas.me will go right to your gmail (or whatever email you use)

you can also just buy your own domain and set it up your gmail/whatever as the catchall, then use appname@mydomain.com

I have something similar to this with my kitchen setup: I have two motion sensors on either end of the island. I have 2 “bright” light fixtures (hooked up via Zooz smart switches – these can be dimmable) and one middle light fixture (smart bulb with the switch left on because the switch is in an awkward spot that I never use anyway).

If motion is triggered and it’s between 5pm - 11pm, turn on all 3. If it’s between 11-4am, just use the dim light. And then after X minutes of inactivity, kill the lights. You could easily add in brightness levels and fades.

I used to have it set to factor in the lesser of sunset or a helper I created (“is it cloudy?”) that read the lux value of my weather station, but in the end I just liked the predictably of set times.

All that to say it would be no problem for you to add dimming based on motion + time of day. Grab the Zooz Dimmer and replace your switches with that and grab whatever regular dimmable light fixtures your wife likes. In your automation set your lights to go on at full brightness during sunset, dim at a specific time, then have it adjust brightness when motion is triggered, and then back to the dim setting after a delay.

You can also set a transition time, so lights on at sunset, transition from 100% to 30% over 3 hours, etc.

Another suggestion: with the HA app on your phone, use that to detect if you’re coming home and turn the lights on full for a few minutes as you pull in.

Can you share the older emails? I believe you, I’m just curious what they say if they’re personalized.
