I installed Dashy a couple of days ago and have got things pretty much how I want them I think. There is more off the bottom of the screen but this screen shot shows the main things I need.

I've set the stats widgets to auto-collapse on load so they don't take up the entire screen, and I'm pulling those from Glances running on my ProxMox server.

Really impressed with Dashy, and how easy it is to configure and customise.

I decided to spin up Home Assistant on a VM on my server yesterday, and so far I'm not having much luck getting to to much that is actually useful.

I'm wondering if it's me doing something wrong, but I can't see what that would be.

I've signed up for the free trial of the cloud services which all seems to have gone fine, and I have a couple of integrations working (Roomba, printer ink levels, Sonos and a couple of others) but mostly everything else I've tried just doesn't want to play ball

• Apple TV - won't pair - I press the pair button in HA but the ATV doesn't respond with a pairing code

• Ring doorbell / cameras - these are found but won't display a live feed

• Ring alarm - not recognised at all

• Netatmo thermostat - widget displays but doesn't sync correctly with thermostat and if I try to adjust temp it sets the target temp to 137 degrees C

• Hue lights - having issues but this one might be my hub not HA

I was really hoping I could set up automations to, say, turn off my TV, turn off the lights, arm my house alarm - all with one press of a button but it looks like currently this isn't going to happen.

Is it just me? Am I doing something wrong perhaps? Maybe I'm missing something obvious but it just seems like the integrations with these devices just isn't quite there? I'd really be interested in other people's experiences and whether they were able to solve these issues (if indeed they had them at all).

I use Cloudflare tunnels for most of my self hosted stuff and I wanted to point a subdomain at my piHole, but it seems that you can’t install the cloudflared software on a pi zero. Is there any way to get this working?

It’s not a massive issue if not as I’m currently just pointing to my Pi-hole from my load balancer but it would be nice to have everything tunnelled.

Over the last year I've been learning Swift and starting to put together some iOS apps. I'd definitely class myself as a Swift beginner.

I'm currently building an app and today I used ChatGPT to help with a function I needed to write. I found myself wondering if somehow I was "cheating". In the past I would have used YouTube videos, online tutorials and Stack Overflow, and adapted what I found to work for my particular usage case.

Is using ChatGPT different? The fact that ChatGPT explains the code it writes and often the code still needs fettling to get it to work makes me think that it is a useful learning tool and that as long as I take the time to read the explanations given and ensure I understand what the code is doing then it's probably a good thing on balance.

I was just wondering what other people's thoughts are?

Also, as a side note, I found that chucking code I had written in to ChatGPT and asking it to comment every line was pretty successful and a. big time saver :D

Edit: Thanks everyone for insightful and considered replies.

I think the general consensus is basically where my head was at - use it as a tool like you would SO or other resources but be aware the code may be incorrect, and the reality is there will be work required to adapt and integrate with your current project (very much like SO) and that's where you programming skills really come in to play.

I think I still have imposter syndrome when it comes to development, which is maybe where the question was coming from in my mind. :D.

Hey, I'm hoping someone can help me out with an issue I keep having with Kemp Loadmaster.

I use Kemp to point various subdomains to different VMs and physical servers and for the most part, everything is working. In the attached image all the VS above the disabled one are working just fine. The issue is with 10.0.0.75:5100.

However, if I try and add any additional VSs they just don't seem to work. Instead, they just point to the website hosted at my domain and the subdomain is ignored (so, if I navigate to the subdomain that points to 10.0.0.75:5100 instead I'm seeing the site hosted on 10.0.0.70).

I've created the VS, created the relevant rules and as far as I can see everything is set up in a similar fashion to the working ones so I'm really at a loss.

Can anyone suggest why this might be happening?

I should add, the same thing was happening with the VS I was pointing at 10.0.0.72 so it's not just the machine on 10.0.0.75 that's the problem as far as I can see.

I don't really want to move to using Cloudflare Tunnels for everything - I had that set up before and one day all my tunnels just stopped working so I'd like to get Kemp working correctly.

Edit: As a temporary workaround I've set up TwinGate so I can access my SnippetBox instance when not on my local network which works fine, but I would very much like to get to the bottom of this Kemp issue
