Circadian vs “dim to warm” (lemmy.world)

I just read a great article about a company wanting to do Circadian lighting on the International Space Station! It was very inspiring, so now I want to look into automating that. Up until now, my priority has been smart switches (both Zigbee and Z-Wave) and voice control, but I also have an automation to dim when it’s bed time.

Can anyone compare Circadian vs “dim to warm”, by how happy you are with results, cost, complexity? I guess I’d have to get all new bulbs either way, but I’d have to rewire and reconfigure switches for smart bulbs to do Circadian and I’d have to actively automate, vs “dim to warm” would just do it

This comment appears to be set as English, let me know if that changes anything. The previous comment appears to be set that way too. But I did set my profile to filter to english posts so maybe Kbin is auto-setting it now?

That one is showing as Undetermined as well. I setup a Kbin account and had the same behaviour, comment was set to English in Kbin, but would appear as Undetermined on Lemmy.

The issue with replying from Lemmy seems to occur when Communities have set their Language to only English (or at least not Undetermined). For some reason the Kbin supposedly Undetermined messages are allowed to post, but if anyone on Lemmy tries to reply to it, Lemmy will try to use the same language, which will result in a silent error (but visible in Developer Tools).

Again, manually changing my reply on Lemmy to specifically use English works.

In conclusion there’s probably nothing you can do, but there is an issue for Lemmy language issue here.

Hey there, a patch for the reply issue was added to Lemmy 18.3. I’m just testing if it seems to have fixed it.

Good news, Lemmy 18.3 did fix it, no issues replying to you and I didn’t have to manually select my language, it was auto set to English! Hopefully 18.3 gets rolled out to everyone’s instances posthaste!

Sweet! Thanks for the update.
