The I installed the xiaomi app on my phone, I think it was called zepp life or something for the scale I have, you do the initial setup of the scale on there, and then it’ll be picked up by the Bluetooth proxy.

Yeah, Mandela failed, there is nothing like a peaceful protest in SA.

1986 gang rise up!

The boomers always used to call millenials snowflakes, but fucking hell, if censoring swearwords isn’t ACTUAL snowflake behaviour.

For clarification, I’m not saying millenials are snowflakes.

Yep, pretty much. Just get an ESP32 and not an 8266.

I have it plugged into an old Nokia charger and hidden in a cupboard to service all the Bluetooth temperature and door sensors.

When I use the scale it automatically sends the data to HA. Really convenient to use.

I have a Xiaomi scale connected through an esp Bluetooth proxy. Works pretty well.

Let’s not fool ourselves, adverts were always there and intrusive, remember those hotbars that your parents would have 100 of installed somehow? Sure things are worse, but they were never perfect.

Any specific brand recommendations? Asking for a friend of course.

Lol, fair enough.

Is Mastadon different?

But they don’t make them anymore :(

Thanks for the suggestion, I was looking at buying another soldering iron. I’m using a really obscure brand one that I got from my dad and that I have been using since I was around 8 (30 years ago).

I can only get replacement tips in South Africa so was looking for something with more support.

Honest question, how long is the fluid supposed to last? And I’m not talking about burning time. I have a zippo, I fill it, a few weeks later I go to use it and the flame lasts a few seconds as the fuel finishes.

Felt the same about Lemmy when I signed up.

Maggots aren’t worms.

You mean the infamous hacker Anonymous, it’s just one person who is on 4chan all the time time.

I initially hated Zoom, but honestly, it did its job really well
