When you’ve just purchased a new grinder there are a couple things you need to make sure of which for some reason is not mentioned in most reviews. First you need to season the burrs. This means putting at least a couple KGs of cheap oily beans through the grinder. I did 2 KGs on my DLC burrs before I noticed more consistency but will probably do another kilo. Different burrs need different amounts op seasoning it seems....
Ever since the unofficial Life360 plugin for Homeassistant started to act spotty (API changes related to Cloudfare all the time that were no longer fun to try to keep up with) I have been looking for an alternative. Luckily the only thing I need to know is whether 1 or more person is home vs not_home. This I determine with a probably way too complex Node-RED if-this-then-that type of flow. As Homeassistant has this built-in it was actually quite easy to setup....

So I’ve been trying to restore the backup of my Wordpress site and I’ve been getting a 504 error. I’ve tried to use the Wordpress REST API to restore the backup but it’s not working. Regardless of the reason, I’ve been getting the error for a long time. Check first with your hosting provider if they are running any proxies. If not, you can solve the issue by adding a ....
Working remote is awesome, especially if you can use proper tools (🖕🏼 Teams -> 😍 Slack). However, not everyone is used to working with these tools and there is definitely some etiquette involved here. The most annoying one is receiving a message just saying: “Hi Carlo” and then nothing… Now my brain goes: shit what does he/she want? If I answer will I be sucked into some unimportant topic I don’t want to deal with right now or does he/she simply want help?...
If you are not sure what a Story Discovery session is about this high level introduction might come in handy. Userstories mostly come from a PO or the business stakeholders. However it’s extremely valuable to get the insights from the team as well. I always like to ask my devs the following: “With the goal of “{Insert goal here}” in mind: what topics do YOU think we should put on the roadmap?...
First I was a bit hesitant on upgrading to 6.x as 5.14 was working absolutely fine. And why fix it if it ain’t broken… 🤷♂️ Then the Hook Up came out with an updated 3-part guide on how to setup and configure the Unifi network and I made the adjustments to move away from the WLAN overrides. I have to say I am not completely happy yet with the controller’s stability as it’s disconnecting quite a bit....
So you might have tried upgrading your Unifi devices via the controller and for some reason it did not work. Usually this means that the download of the firmware-file failed and chances are big this happens for one of your Switches. In my usecase I am manually upgrading the US-8-60W. First you download the latest .bin-file from the Downloads page. Make sure to put it in the Downloads-folder on your Macbook in order to follow the steps I have specified below, else you need aadjust accordingly....
4 Months of waiting I think they were announced somewhere in October and now 4 months later I finally got my hands on 2 HomePod minis. In short: they are absolutely great value for the money and I can really recommend them, especially if you are already deep in the ‘Apple ecosystem’. After trying them out in different rooms (where they all sound great) I ended up putting them both in the living room & kitchen....
