@seanhood @otfrom exactly the same here for CO2 and PM2.5.
But for some time the #Aranet4 bluetooth connexion to #HomeAssistant breaks very often here, in spite of being always at the same place. I don't know why.
The #VINDSTYRKA appears to be a good #Zigbee router, far better than my NOUS sockets. -
@seanhood You could try solving the #AdventOfCode with #VimScript ;-) Nah, better not. AoC should be about having fun.

Dabbled with enabling #IPv6 on my #cilium based #k3s cluster this morning. Seems that it /is/ possible to enable without a full cluster/node rebuild*.
Mostly went fine, prefix, prefix mask, masq set to off. After poking a couple of the Cilium Pods new Pods got an IPv6 addr. ...but couldn't ping anything. Traffic made it out based on what Hubble was showing, but not the reverse.
Enabled v6 masquerading, and it all started to work, yay. Suspect I need to try setting up a static route on my router for this to work.
I have a couple pods w/ quirky networking so they got unhappy. v6 IP, dns query replying w/ AAAA but no dice as they really only have v4 connectivity.
Back off for now but promising that it could work.
*.spec.PodCIDR(s) are immutable on v1.Node resources, but cilium in it's default configuration doesn't get it's PodCIDR from there in the default config.

CW: Spoliers (?) about passive house, retrofit, building science documentatry
Really enjoyed that! Bringing good building practices more into the public realm, with a very relatable house, a 1930's semi at the core of the programme being retrofitted to a PassiveHouse standard (#EnerPHit I assume, I forget if that was mentioned).
We got not one but two(!) examples of blower door tests; first on Guy's house and the other on the retrofit house. Love it when the big red door comes out.
An amusing experiment with cups of tea, insulation and a ziplock bag to demonstrate how air tightness can help, but also the problem that comes when you forget ventilation.
MVHR did get a mention but sadly not nearly long enough. They aren't just a tool for managing high humidity but also very good for #AirQuality
Would have liked to have seen more natural materials used. They visited a factory building modern prefab homes, out of light steel and glued on brick slips. Would have been nice to see the likes of EcoCocon or PH15 instead.
Also got a look into how a heat pump works and a trip to the Vaillent factory in Derby where they have been assembling this "controversial" technology.
Odd mention at the end that the ASHP is ran on a morning and then again on the evening, generally how you /shouldn't/ run these things.
Worth a watch if you're even vaugely interested in how buildings work, or why (some) new builds are a bit shite. But more importantly why and how we can make things better.

Watching "Guy Martin's House Without Bills" on #Channel4. Been looking forward to this!

So I saw a blog post linked on here the other week about someone's homelab where they use #Incus to run all their containers and VMs. And I've fallen into the rabbit hole.
That post: https://linderud.dev/blog/personal-infrastructure-setup-2026/
Anyway, Incus is the fork/successor to #LXD which as recently as last year they released #IncusOS which is a very slimmed down OS for running multiple types of containers and VMs. A bit like #Proxmox in a sense.
What I like about the distro:
- Immutable
- A-side/B-side partition layout for friendlier updates
- Requires Secure Boot + TPM, resulting in encrypted drives by default
- ZFS. I've loved ZFS for many years.It really seems like this was built for edge type deployments where secure "appliance" like things really excel yet still a net benefit elsewhere.
Since vSphere was killed, this feels pretty damn close to what I liked about it.
Can already run VMs along side "System Containers" (shared kernel + init system) and "App Containers" (what everyone calls "Docker"). I see on the roadmap support for MicroVMs (OCI container + individual kernel).
I run all of my stuff bar storage on #k3s on baremetal but there's times when I need a VM or different container behaviour than it offers.

I have both of Marion's "Residential Retrofit" books, so already knew this would be a good episode, even then it blew me away. Myth busting that low energy buildings require the occupant to "manage" their environment, and the "rebound effect" is a non-issue as once energy demand has been reduced by 80%, even doubling that still works out to be less energy.

Shoutout for #Atuin too, making shell history searchable by directory. Very helpful!

What's a shorter way to describe: "Outside humidity if it were at inside temperature"
---
I have a helper sensor in HomeAssistant which calculates this, but #NamingThingsIsHard -
@coldclimate I've been reading plenty on this topic for a good few years now but non of my notes are quite organised.
Firstly, I'd recommend this book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0993077234 even if you know most of it, I feel like it cements things, but if you don't it gives you the words and generally how the different measures work together.
There are many retrofit co-op which have already been referenced, but I'm still not aware of any which operate in the north east.
You mention #PassiveHouse, their lesser standard #EnerPHit is a good term for searching, then there's #AECB which have more attainable standards while still taking a holistic approach.
This whole podcast is a treasure trove but this episode in particular: https://www.houseplanninghelp.com/hph383-a-beginners-guide-to-creating-a-comfortable-home/
Understand the current building fabric, the materials used, and the effects of using non-"breathable" materials on buildings which are. I'm generally for woodfibre or similar first, and then PIR (or similar) when others aren't so suitable. Trades seem to opt for PIR for everything.
I like the guides on this site: https://www.ecologicalbuildingsystems.com/post/best-practice-approach-insulating-suspended-timber-floors (it will look strangely familiar to the wall I'm working on)
Insulation is one big part, it has to be continuous, but air tightness (not just "draught proofing") as such an impact on both comfort and heat retention. Ventilation is another, can't seal up without letting that moisture escape, for that I'm looking into #MVHR, also helps keep down CO2 levels.
And finally, have a plan, with deep(er)-retrofit, everything relates to something else so the sequence is critical.

My very smol #PiHut haul yesterday. 5 switch navigation buttons, got a couple more i2c 0.96" OLED displays and soft touch buttons too. Plan is to make some #esphome projects more interactive. Not pictured: silicone soldering mat so I'm not grabbing a random bit of cardboard or an envelope.
Also photobombing my haul, a 3d printed jig with pogo pins for flashing firmware onto Mijia temp sensors via UART.

I love spacelift.io for a number of reasons, namely it saves you from running #Terraform or #OpenTofu in whatever "CI" tool your company uses this week (been there, hated it) and doesn't cost an arm, leg and kidney that Terraform Cloud charge you (loved TFC until that switcharoo).
Anyway, I've been wrapping up a thing I've been working on. Many SaaS tools allow you to send #webhooks, but rarely give you control over if, where and what is sent. Now #Spacelift let you control all of this using a Policy based on #OpenPolicyAgent.
SL provide an event, you develop your policy in the #Rego language, not only can you use that policy to decide: Is this an event I want to send a webhook for? But more than that, you can use the policy language to craft the exact payload. Since you may not get a choice of what that looks like on the other end.
Docs: https://docs.spacelift.io/concepts/policy/notification-policy
Now that's just for notifications etc. You can control almost anything within the tool: Logins, Plans, Triggers, Pushes and more.

I keep posting my #retrofit stuff to bsky as that seems to be where the other #passivehouse people are but ought to post them here also:
Got my work cut out for the weekend. Bedroom bay window is a stud wall filled with brick off cuts. To be insulated with 160mm of the finest German made woodfibre. New book for if I get bored too. More details in alt text.
Current U-value is ~2.1W/(m²K), will be ~0.22W/(m²K)
From the thermal image, can see how bad the problem is. The detail is showing a horizontal midsection slice, it's also more complex as this is a curved wall. I hope to also insulate the part of the wall between the floor joists too.
