I thought the meta-narrative around data structure and patterns (Enoch Root) against the Indiana Jones-esque adventures was absolutely amazing.

When I was a kid, my hometown was ~5-10 miles from one of the U.S. Great Lakes. I road my bike to the library one day, checked out some books, and set up outside in an old disused train station that had been converted into a sort of park. That parts relevant because of the piled up mound of rocks that made the track foundation meeting the grass.

As I read, I noticed a bird landed pretty close to me, I was thrilled to be watching them! But then I noticed it seemed to be limping, it’s wing was broken. There was a vet not to far, so I went into my backpack for a sweatshirt, and figured I might be able to safely wrap him up, and take him to the vet, who probably knew the number of a wildlife rehabilitation center or something.

As I approached with my sweatshirt though, it took off! Must not have been that hurt after all… I kept reading. The bird showed up again, it must not have been able to fly to far! I tried again, again it took off… repeat for hours until eventually, having made very little progress on my book, I went home.

… It was around a decade later I learned about the “broken wing display”. He was probably as confused as I was.

big whoop. With the power of migraines some of us have had desktops like this for decades!

The collar does have BLE but I thought that would be a violation of my sisters privacy and I don’t want her to feel unwelcome.

Ii use esphome to flash the firmware on his shockcollar. Now when he barks the shock collar on my sister goes off and she gets him a treat.

Frankly you shouldn’t stop with just IoT devices. My sister wouldn’t listen to the HA so she’s not allowed over. It was a bit of a fight in the family but the dog listens so it got to stay and I think that’s totally reasonable.

A wall of ivy would be nice. Maybe make some planters that straddle the wall. If you need to “bribe” your wall neighbor there you could offer to have some hang over on their side to if they’re interested.

The one and only positive of stores doing this is cheap e-ink displays.

I JUST put together that the moto partnership means “buying a phone loaded with gOS” not “moto is working with gOS to ensure it runs smoothly on their hardware”. I was excited before but that is awesome

Had the “dadjokebot” jump in a tread about not having children in a subreddit for folks with a genetic disorder. The novelty of those bots wore out in 2013.

Get into Lora (meshtastic/core). When I settle into bed I check to see if my solar powered nodes made any friends or if the heltec I keep in the car pinged anything cool.

I did a meetup a few weeks ago and its a cool smattering of younger folks and HAM folks who go wayyyyy back.

People talk about it being useful in an emergency, and sure, but mostly it’s just cool.

oh duh, that’s fantastic! Thanks!

I didnt know it got to that level of specificity! I’ve been using HA for going on a year now, but the app only recently. It has WAY more features than I thought.

I like that idea, that works on everything but my car, which I may be able to do some GPS fencing to get around.

excellent, do you know if tasker pics up specific wireless chargeres? I love what you’re saying about HA, but one of the use cases I’m interested in is turning off my VPN when I set my phone in my cars wireless charger (one of the hardest spots for me to to de-google at the moment).

Do you have tasker on grapheneOS?

LongFast for shitposts babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

This is hilarious to me because other than a Samsung once (which made me go back) I had only moto… Until when I finally upgraded I wanted grapheneOS so pixel it was. Very happy about this.

Looks like they screened it and then were able to reproduce the relevant antibodies in vitro.

Thanks for your quick description! Did some reading and I can see why people are excited now. Right now I’m renting and doing a smaller area that my one router/zigbee radio covers pretty well, but I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on Matter over Thread. Based on what I read looks like a great protocol system as I get into widespread coverage. It’s exciting Matter is becoming a standard for all manufacturers and is compatible with local only stuff!
