To me this automation seems much better suited to using the Node-RED addon. There is a built in “delay” node that can be used for rate limiting. You would set the delay node to once per hour and put it between the node watching your motion sensor, and the node flipping the light switch. Easy stuff. You could do the same with one or two more nodes to get and check the current wind speed and put that inline as well.

Keep in mind though, any kind of rate limiting/cool down makes it more likely that the lights won’t turn on when you actually want them to. For example, if you leave the house and come back after the lights have turned off, but before the cool down period expires you won’t have lights.

tl;dr It was a bug. It is fixed in 17.1.

In general, if you think that the government should have a new or increased power (in this case deciding the “truth” of what people say online) you must consider how this power will be used when a government you do not agree with is eventually elected. They will still have that power, so how do you think they will use it?

I just can’t imagine how much time was spent making that.

Everyone should know that, very often, they are just wrong. And that’s ok. We all are.

The more ready you are to really accept that you could be wrong about anything, and admit when you are wrong about something, the better you will make your own life, as well as the lives of those around you.

You make a very good point here. Currently the provided backup node is limited to 10GB, which is a lot, but probably not for what you are trying to accomplish. The Anytype folks have also stated that in the future they plan to charge for larger backup nodes, which may be something you want to avoid.

In the meantime, because syncing is p2p, I believe you can effectively self-host by just making sure you have an internet-connected machine always running the client app. In that way, there will always be a peer to sync to, even if your backup node is full and not accepting more data.

Not self-hosting, but I have been using Anytype for a few months now and absolutely love it. I’m doing a lot of online coursework, and so I’m using Anytype to take and organize my notes actively for several hours a day, every day. I also use it for task tracking, journalling, and it has just generally become the place where I dump any kind of info I might need to retrieve in the future.

There is a learning curve before you get the hang of it. I was also frustrated by the editor at first, but now that I have learned some of the slash commands, added in with markdown formatting, I find it to be really efficient. One oddity that likely trips folks up is that every paragraph is a separate “block” which makes partially selecting text across blocks impossible. On the other hand though, it makes grabbing a block and repositioning or reformatting the contents super simple.

Keep in mind that Anytype is offline first, p2p for syncing, and end-to-end encrypted. So the value of self hosting is, I suppose, not using their provided (currently free) backup node? It doesn’t seem like a big deal to me unless you don’t trust the encryption.
