So… Almost between tierce and a rundlet? Or is it just over a quater?

That is usually how straws work, but it might not be very effective here.

I just saw your comment so your opinion is no longer valid.

Quitting drinking is a peculiar beast. If you were a “normal” drinker, you might only experience some mild mood irritation or have an issue getting to sleep if nightcaps were your thing. You might experience nothing.

If you were a heavy drinker and immediately quit, that can actually kill you. I am going to be realistic here: Ex-drinkers in my class of alcoholic could drink a few bottles of wine, or a case of beer or 5th of liquor throughout the day and then drink more after that, pass out drunk and then start the next morning with a couple of shots.

Alcohol withdrawal in those extreme cases can be deadly. When I quit, I was in bed for a week, with supervision, and had a detox center on speed dial, just in case. It’s no joke. (I should add that my approach was still risky and stupid.)

But yeah, quitting anything that is addictive is going to piss your body off a little. Eventually, if you lay off the “bad things” long enough, your body will recover. You can see the full gambit with nicotine though: Agitation, higher BP, sweats, etc. It depends on your body.

Above all else, talk to a doctor. Everyone’s situation is always unique and is rarely diagnosed properly over social media.

FreeCAD is fairly good. Some of the controls are a bit wonky, but that is just a minor gripe. If you are starting on FreeCAD, that doesn’t matter so much. FreeCAD is good to know if you design components for KiCAD as well.

Parametric modeling is fucking awesome, btw. I am not quite sure how old that concept is though.

Yeah. If they comment the same thing over and over it’s repetition. 100%.

Having pissed off my fair share of people on social media, there are people that could just be sitting around and downvoting just you. It happens and it’s really weird.

However, I have noticed that here on Lemmy a little more. New comments or posts will get downvoted fairly quick, but they will bounce back fairly quick. It’s also weird.

Wait. I thought you were taking about thumbnails for some reason. Sorry.

It’s for images that you open?

I just dug a little into the Flutter API and saw what might be going on. Scaling is done properly on a regular browser, but there might be a built-in function for it somewhere. It may take a few more steps with Flutter.

(Just rambling a bit for those who care about details and theory crafting.)

Calling BoxFit in Flutter is significantly less expensive for thumbnails, I would speculate. It appears that it would take a few operations to scale an image properly and could impact slower devices.

An option to enable or disable image scaling would be nice. It’s just annoying that its probably not a one line code change. (Unless it is. That would be great.)

Settings -> Post Customization -> [Full Width]

That takes up much more screen real estate, but some people like it.

I think this post is a wonderful example of

Zwave Thermostat- Outlier stats (feddit.nl)

Can anyone explain these annoying outlier points from my zwave thermostat? This is from a honeywell thermostat, but before this I had a trane that suffered from the same problem. It happens with current temperature and humidity. It’s not like its terrible, it doesn’t mess with my automatons or anything, but when I want to...

This is fairly common with remote sensors. Some are perfect and exist in a perfect system, some do not. I am going to rattle off some of the first things that pop into my head…

Honestly, there are a thousand reasons that you could miss a data point every once in a while. Just looking at the chart, it is still sending a data block but the humidity just reported low for a second. Maybe the thermostat is not getting a data block and filling in the data based on its own clock.

Compare it to other data and see if the system turned on or off. Electronics can be sensitive to power drops and it wasn’t able to feed power to the part of the board that manages the sensor for a second. Maybe there is a condition where a capacitor gets fully discharged for a second and is pulling all current away from the sensor. (It’s usually an analog signal from sensors and maybe a measurement of resistance that translates to temperature or humidity. A voltage drop would significantly impact a reading.)

It could be a timing glitch with the code where it can’t read the sensor but builds the data block anyway. Depending on how the sensor works, it could be trying to compute the data the second it gets polled for data and it has nothing to give.

It could even be the wiring to the rest of the system. HVAC systems vibrate and a screw might be getting loose. It could be a cold solder joint, even. What is to commonality between the two thermostats that you had?

The list goes on. I have always treated sensor data as unreliable. Heck, I have a couple of CO2 sensors that do the same this as what you are seeing here. Every so often, the just report zero for a second.

Mesh protocols like zwave and zigbee aren’t 100% reliable. It could be local interference with the signal.

Without some extensive debugging and the willingness to disassemble your thermostat, just treat it as an annoyance.

Connect instance switching will be buggy sometimes, especially when there is a Lemmy update that modifies auth tokens in some way.

The only way I know how to resolve account list bugs like that is to purge your app cache and app data. It’s not ideal, but it has worked for me in the past.

I can only suggest typical troubleshooting stuffs:

  • clear all app data/app cache (requires reauthentication to instances)
  • logout/login to all instances (if you didn’t clear app cache and app data)
  • disable any kind of third-party task manager (those don’t really do much anyway.)
  • temporarily disable third-party ad filters (many apps absolutely hate local SSL proxies/local VPNs. For me, Connect is unusable with AdGuard’s SSL filter, but it could be a general Lemmy issue)
  • Try and get crash logs. (This is a convoluted process on Android, so you will need to research a process that works for your phone. If someone has a point-n-shoot process for this, I really want to know.)
  • Different post display settings might reduce memory consumption. This is a theory, and I don’t know whch ones would have the biggest impact.

Connect will consume a considerable amount of phone memory, but it’s less than my average for other apps. It is currently using ~400MB RAM, but it peaks at ~1.5GB. I am also a heavy user, so there is that. (My app cache is only at about 500MB, for now.)
