An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Are there any cloud-free vacuuming robots still available?
Our current one is now 5+ years old, so may be in need of a replacement someday soon.
Was already hard to get a cloud-free one even then.

I'm incredibly happy with my Dreame robot that has been de-clouded with valetudo.

I've de-clouded a few of them for friends and family and everyone has been very happy with them.

I recently got a Dreame with the intention of eventually getting Valetudo on there. Seems pretty overwhelming though to make the little breakout board

[–] narp@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

They have a telegram channel for sharing the breakout boards.

Yeah I bought a premade one instead of making it myself. Specifically this one: https://www.tindie.com/products/scacht/dreame-pcb-breakout-for-valetudo/
