MY DASHBOARD LOOKS WEIRD TODAY #192

Closed thomasloven closed 2 years ago

thomasloven commented 2 years ago

Please update card-mod to 3.1.4.

I thought it seemed like a fun idea, but I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

ThaGhost-NL commented 2 years ago

Hahaha, you got me off quard with this one. Just tinkering my dashboard this evening and suddenly all tiles were off. Like eh?! What the hell, need some sleep, perhaps a beer to much. Thanks for the good laugh!

kongjudas commented 2 years ago

F***! I trashed all today's work and restored a backup over it in a hurry. I see the joke and SHOULD have been on guard for the 1st. but you got me. Thank you for reminding me how dull Home Assistant is without HACS.

XJ-09 commented 2 years ago

I was changing my layout today and suddenly everything shifted. Was really thinking "where the (...) did I just mess up!?" 😂 Luckily I didn't restore my backup yet. Thanks for the laugh (at the end) anyway!

kongjudas commented 2 years ago

00:47 My pulse is down to 104.

NMe84 commented 2 years ago

I appreciate April Fools jokes but if you make one, at least make one that only affects your own cards rather than the entirety of Home Assistant or make clear in some other way that it's coming from your mod. People taking this badly are not necessarily people who can't take a joke but people who have spent ages tinkering with HA to get it just right and who have little way of knowing what screwed up this time, causing them to spend a lot of time trying to figure out yet another weird thing happening.

Just look at some of the comments above, someone already restored a backup and someone else was just about to before they found out.

Actually, this was predicted: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod/issues/170 I suggest people to monitor GitHub sometimes )))

NMe84 commented 2 years ago

Ah yes, because monitoring every random ticket or commit for every single piece of vendor code someone might be using is a reasonable expectation to have of users. Taking some amount of care is always useful but at some point you're just gonna have to trust the developers of the software you're using.

mark007 commented 2 years ago

This one had me haha I was rebooting HA, restarting phones haha got me nicely.

genestealer commented 2 years ago

If your frontend looks weird today Community Post

Sloth-on-meth commented 2 years ago

@thomasloven mate, it's funny. People who are mad should check the date. Not your fault. Hell, even google did something similar in the past

RobMatteson commented 2 years ago

I... see nothing wrong. Is it that I'm UTC -5 and the trick doesn't kick in until midnight on April 1?

peledzius commented 2 years ago

I updated to 3.1.4 but still facing issues with the tilted / misalignment

Clear cache.

ildar170975 commented 2 years ago

but at some point you're just gonna have to trust the developers of the software you're using.

I totally agree. But - I think that HA is a joint work - some people are creating SW, some are testing. Users should be interested in the final result, and issues on GitHub are a good place either to report a bug/FR or to learn smth or to help others.

susanacf90 commented 2 years ago

I didn't notice anything until just now, maybe because it's 4.30AM on the 1st of April. I do read the release notes (because lazy ass me didn't use to do it until something broke and she didn't have backups) so I was curious as to what was messed up. I spent a while wondering are the tiles tilted or am I too tired and seeing things? That was funny. 😂

nibblerrick commented 2 years ago

I like it. No need for excuses. Nice one!

michaelarnauts commented 2 years ago

Try not to worry about it. I think it's a fun joke, and a gentle reminder for everybody that stuff in HACS isn't verified or code reviewed.

You are doing a great job with your integrations!

rasssta commented 2 years ago

Must say that I laughed a bit at the joke when noticing it :D

However my HASS RPI crashed at 03:00, CPU went through the roof. Not sure if it's related. Rebooted it (hard) and CPU kept rising until I upgraded to the new version.

Pirol62 commented 2 years ago

Already executed the update to 3.1.4 but still have one weird element: image After clearing the cache it just changes it's direction

domalab commented 2 years ago

I cleared the cache, closed and re-opened the browser. Issue fixed

Pirol62 commented 2 years ago

thanks @ruaandeysel . That fixed it. But it looked really funny before :-)

Knodd commented 2 years ago

I loved this joke but I didn't realize it was a joke until i saw a notice about a HACS update and checked it. Next year (if you dare), maybe have the integration post a notification about April's fool (or flood the log with 100 lines of "April's fool!!!") to avoid people rolling back backups or going completely nuts googling.

I also appreciate the reminder that my smart home is exposed to many kinds of potential threats when installing custom integrations.

Thank you for all the great work you do for HA!

qbushome commented 2 years ago

Nice joke, but it took only 2 seconds to realize what was happening. So no harm done.

Looking forward to next year !

SmarterHomeLife commented 2 years ago

You got me as well @thomasloven when I first woke up this morning and grabbed my phone I thought my eyes weren't focussing properly!! As noted above it was a very good reminder to be mindful of the things we install in HA.

No apologies necessary in my opinion and thank you for your continued work on this and your other amazing contrbutions to this community, that allow us ALL to have better looking dashboards!

fusionstream commented 2 years ago

That was funny. Hahaha. Maybe store a cookie though so after the first refresh everything will be hunky dory (everyone gets a chuckle and production systems aren't broken). Cheers. Thanks for the laughs.

guelinator commented 2 years ago

This "prank" has showed many people, that home assistant is not a seriously meant project, but a playground for pranksters. There are some serious things inside home assistant, like doors, alarm systems, and this prank has shown that everybody with a github account, can fuck with your system.

i think this prank has done some serious harm to home assistant...

Sloth-on-meth commented 2 years ago

@guelinator please, get over yourself. Companies like google have done this type of stuff in the past too. It's a harmless April fool's joke that had some unwanted side effects. @thomasloven don't listen to these people

Electronlibre2012 commented 2 years ago

Please update card-mod to 3.1.4.

I'm sorry.

@thomasloven dont be sorry lol, its a joke, and i found its a good one...just a dev joke .... some persons have no humor...bad for them lol, but some have, and you make me smile today, 15 secondes after thinking "what the hell today with my dashboard???" ...realize we are the ...1st April lol...go to HACS and see your update and note...

Have fun, life is short!

and thanks @thomasloven for his great work!

Nice day all

i think it really has show how vulnerable such open source projects are.....

SmarterHomeLife commented 2 years ago

Wow! All you've shown here @guelinator is that you don't understand 'open source' at all...

NMe84 commented 2 years ago

@guelinator please, get over yourself. Companies like google have done this type of stuff in the past too. It's a harmless April fool's joke that had some unwanted side effects. @thomasloven don't listen to these people

Companies like Google did not cause people to recover backups and they did not cause people's system performance to tank. The fact that there is a joke is not the issue, the execution of it was terribly poor and though it may not have affected you in a bad way it did affect others. Who are you to tell others their issues are invalid just because you didn't experience them?

Because they are invalid. It's an April fools joke. It's free software. Touch grass

thomasloven commented 2 years ago

Now now.

I messed up. I admit this. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience this caused that I did not foresee.

But no issues are invalid. I do not want anyone telling anyone so to defend me. There's nothing further I can do now to change things, but I deserve the hard words as well as the laughs.

Sloth-on-meth commented 2 years ago

It's fine. It's only an April fools joke. Whoever's angry about this needs to go outside haha

Just for clarity: I'm not saying you are handling this badly. You owned up to what happened, pushed a fix and published it just about everywhere. And I do appreciate jokes, despite how much other people here seem to want to paint me as an overly sensitive ass. I just hope that the next joke is a little bit more self-contained to your own cards.

Don't let the people who had problems get you down to much, and that includes me. And don't let it stop you from doing fun stuff in the future either, because the idea wasn't bad at all.

ildar170975 commented 2 years ago

So much negative. This is not a nuclear station. It is just a UI stuff.

sdotter commented 2 years ago

haha i could laugh about it... maybe it was just too subtle... Anyway still like card mod a lot!

@thomasloven just also noticed your "sorry" in new releases release notes... Dont be sorry man... you are putting a lot of time in this stuff that we all can use for free.

Thanks!!

GarSys commented 2 years ago

Thank you Thomas for all the coding you do and for this April Fools joke. I love it. And it is so easily fixed. I really appreciate that you exposed (by affecting more than just your cards) how much trust we have to have in all the coders. Community add-ins or not, Frenk could have just as easily done this joke on us. :)

Pirol62 commented 2 years ago

No, it was not that easy fixed in the end. Clearing the cache means, that all HA settings were deleted, means that all browser_mod identification tags changed, that I had to identify each device in HA and reconfigure the devices in the configuration.yaml and so on..... It looked quite funny but I needed some time, to bring all browser_mod related stuff to work again. That part wasn't funny.

GarSys commented 2 years ago

All I had to do was install the update, refresh the browser, and both my instances (at home and at work) straightened themselves out (pun intended). It is very unfortunate that it was not that easy for you.

Clearing cache is enough, I think you also cleared cookies and local settings. I just had to refresh the page, and force close the mobile app. But that's the same as a normal update of something in HACS.

Indeed, a simple STRG+R would've done the trick. Geez. 🙈

thomasloven commented 2 years ago

Or if not, the tricks mentioned here https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-config/wiki/Lovelace-Plugins#clearing-cache

Pirol62 commented 2 years ago

Sorry, but a simple clear did not work, but the link is new to me. Thanks @thomasloven

MrThiemann commented 2 years ago

Amazing !!! thank you for pointing out the "dangers"! you can see how fast this can happen! We talked a lot about it on Discord too! For me it remains exciting to what extent anyone can access the core through such manipulations...?!? was definitely a cool action! 🤝

@thomasloven hands down.... your good work outweighs your, lets call them questionable pranks. so lets call this a night, and I'd like to thank you for your hard, and unquestionable outstanding good work for home assistant.

thomasloven commented 2 years ago

Just for clarity and for the people who feel they missed out.

Here's what I meant to happen: Wonky crooked cards. Harmless fun for the entire family. cards Up to three degrees of randomly applied rotation, meaning on a 4K screen with a card in panel mode stretched as far as it could go, a control could move up to 104 pixels (about one inch) out of place vertically. But that's an extreme case.

What I did not anticipate: The effect stacks in the automations page when many ha-card elements are used in parallell. Automations

Also, apparently the rotation can cause bad performance on some devices.

What I absolutely did not anticipate: Common browser behavior means applying a transform to an element makes it throw the render stacking rules to the wind, making context and dropdown menus unusable. menus I learned a lot from this one... maybe it can be useful in more constructive ways...

I understand people being really upset about the last two things, and ask you to consider that bugs. It really was not my intent in any way. Part of the problem is that card-mod has grown more powerful since I came up with the idea. I should have done more testing along the way.

scidoner commented 2 years ago

Mate, this was hilarious once I found out it was the cause. I wasn't stupid enough to go poking around restoring backups or spending hours trying to fix the problem (I knew I hadn't changed anything anyway) and when I saw this in the change log I was amused!

Still, you got me - and to be honest I thought it was a recent Chrome bug as that is the only browser I end up using on all my devices!

CrallH commented 2 years ago

@thomasloven I think the prank was both fun and a really good learning for my own setup! I have handled customs just as regular addons, but they are not regular! We need to actually focus more on the security flaws we intentionally install on our systems. No hate from me, only love! Keep up the good work!

tiancom commented 3 months ago

Please update card-mod to 3.1.4.

I thought it seemed like a fun idea, but I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

Are you sure it's just a funny? today 4.1

thomasloven commented 3 months ago

This was two years ago. If you haven't updated in that time, you're on your own.
