Well looks like the hanging issue on iOS 27’s notification screen is still there from the betas. At least I know how to reboot it faster when it happens now. #Apple #iPhone #iOS

Now that I’ve had time to think about the new #Apple devices. I don’t know how I feel about other people’s devices recording me all the time. Let’s see what the community will say about this.

Episode 584 of the HomeTech Podcast has been released. Based on the feedback I've gotten recently I must have said something bad (it rhymes with IQ). You will have to listen to find out. #HomeAssistant #HomeAutomation #SmartHome www.hometech.fm/shows/584

You are not one of the cool kids until you announce that your LLM broke out of its sandbox and hacked into another company. #AI

Browsing the internet without an ad blocker is an absolute mess. I know these companies need to make money but can we find another way? /rant

RE: fosstodon.org/@esphome/117003802198… This is going to be fun.... not just because I'm on the panel but its something exciting coming to both #HomeAssistant and #ESPHome from Apollo Automation. Hope to see you there.

On this episode of the HomeTech.fm podcast I learn about Jimothy! Plus a bunch of other tech talk. Hopefully the Jimothy reference boosts our ratings a bit. #SmartHome #SelfHosted #Jimothy www.hometech.fm/shows/583

Hmm.... wasn't there a movie where they weaponized something like this???? www.theverge.com/science/965263/ref…

Just loaded the #iOS 27 beta on my iPhone 17 and 2 things I notice right away. It feels a lot faster and the basic new Siri is already way better than the old Siri. Looking forward to eventually trying Siri AI.

This is a reminder to update your tech in the house. I've seen a number of highly critical CVE's lately. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secur… #HomeLab #SelfHosted

My favourite photo's app Immich 3.0.0 (and now 3.0.1) have been released. Make sure you check the release notes for breaking changes. This is a significant update. github.com/immich-app/immich/releas… #Immich #SelfHosted

The DJ said he was going to to play some old school and started playing hits from the 90s!!!!! I wasn’t ready for that. :(

I thought the war with Iran was suppose to be over. What did I miss?

Gavin Campbell @gavincampbell.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

So I have 11 #Hermes agents running on unraid. Why are they utilizing so much of the CPU when they are doing nothing at all?? Time to troubleshoot.

Of all the things in the new #HomeAssistant 2026.7 beta this is what got me excited!

Gavin Campbell @gavincampbell.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

I think this is an important read for #HomeAssistant users as it will be much bigger in the next update. Frenck did a great write up to make more sense of "Purpose Specific Triggers and Conditions". Helps to explain it a better. frenck.dev/more-power-less-complexi…

Got this from switchbot. Looks like they got some good Primr day deals if you are looking for something.

This World Cup I have slowly become a Norway fan. Haaland is so fun to watch!!! #WorldCup #Norway

Is it normal that when I switch pages on an #iPhone 17 running #iOS 26 that I get to watch the icons refresh?

Gavin Campbell @gavincampbell.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Check your #Rogers cell phone bill for a another price hike. Not sure how these companies get away with it. They all seem to be doing it. www.iphoneincanada.ca/2026/06/21/ro…

Looks like a new version of Hermes got released. Upgraded all of my agents with no issues so far. github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agen… #Hermes #AI

I have to admit... this World Cup has been very entertaining. Go Canada!!!

Did a few upgrades to the server rack this weekend. Added a 16 bay disk array. Installed the new console. Added another UPS that I won’t be hooking up until my panel upgrade this week. I’ve also swapped in some Noctua fans so this setup is pretty quiet yet cool. #SelfHosted #HomeLab

Server rack in the basement loaded with Unifi, Dell and a few UPSs.

Server rack with the console open which slides out and folds up to present a keyboard and 17” monitor.

Playing around with the new image generation in ChapGPT and this is impressive. It is producing some quality images.

Second project for today. Playing with the Homey Pro. I don’t plan to move away from my dear Home Assistant but always good to see how others do things. This will be interesting. I have enough devices in my junk drawer to setup a 2nd house. #HomeAssistant #HomeAutomation #HomeyPro

My Dell R730 server has 2 Nvidia Tesla cards (P4/T4). They don’t have fans so I have a dedicated fan to keep them cool. The 40mm fan however is way too loud. Today I’m replacing it with a 60mm Noctua fan that is way quieter. Had to remix and 3d print a new fan duct for it. #SelfHosted #HomeLab

It’s projects day! Time to knock some tasks of the tech todo list before the nice weather arrives and my free time is no more!!

Did the iOS 18.2 update just take down chatgpt?

I love being able to use #Ivorty for #BlueSky as well. (Yup I’m gonna make you ask me how.)
