Fcking up the ZigBee Sonoff dongle update to move to ember, and all of my ZigBee devices left my network...
It's really annoying that there isn't a single standard for resetting ZigBee devices. Blinking lights and pressing buttons in random order. And have to open up my doorlock to get access to the button to reset it, so it yet again can communicate with my #homeassistant…

Happy news: in 2025 global new installed 814GW of wind and solar (solar is 664GW). china solar factories at 1/2 capacity! (US installing, but slowly, but you know that and why). big batteries working and improving
a nuclear power plant is 1GW -- why still talk nuclear?
so 1GW datacenters is one of siting correctly with local solar batteries. could be not a big deal
The water use is not consequential if sited with thought
rare good news
