I'm reasonably certain this is a metaphor for something else, but I can't put my finger on it. But just in case, I'm going to have ad-free salad tonight.

Today was not a total waste. I introduced a (French) friend to “Carrot in a box” He agreed the French could never make something so funny from such a simple concept

Just about everything you can find at Lidl you can find elsewhere for more money for the same quality Except digestives. Sorry Lidl, but you are not McVitie’s

I have an exceedingly skittish rescue cat, and am genuinely over the moon that she finally is comfortable enough with me to lie down on my chest when I go to bed With one small remark. If she could stop sitting on my face at 3am that would be great. Kthxbai

It really isn’t pretty code but… Wanted my esp32 to take a picture every hour but only between 10am and 4pm. So I check the current hour and if it is above 15, sleep for 19 hours. Else sleep for an hour Am I proud? No But does it work? Yes Is it idiot-proof? Enough for my use-case

Big update to my #homeassistant setup. I treated it to a brand spanking new Raspberry Pi 5 with 4g of ram and an m.2 nvme drive Only seems fair, given everything HA is in charge of around here, from the solar, to the heating, to the car, hot water and everything in between

So. I managed to get my esp32-cam to do what I wanted. Take a picture, send it to me by email. Deep sleep for six hours, reset, repeat All in three hours-ish. With no previous knowledge and with no eh-aye input. Maybe there’s some mileage left in these ole fingers yet

Clarification: China did not steal our technologies. Western companies rushed into the Chinese market and accepted short-term deals, trading long-term sustainability for immediate profits. China didn’t take it. We handed it over to deliver dividends.
