Good thing I kept all those Covid masks…

You could do regular manual blinds with solar powered Sunsa motorized wands.

I’ve had mine for 5 years now they work great with HA (once you get past the setup)

I got a Dawarich instance running yesterday, so far it is pretty good. Getting it running over SSL was an absolute nightmare but now that it’s working the tracking is pretty powerful.

Same. If I had the time and thought it would help I would email every one of them to let them know how disgusted I am they still maintain a presence there.

Lemons is an excellent racing league and a fun idea. They have managed to make racing somewhat affordable and kept it from being a “who has the biggest wallet” contest. The race wrap ups on their YouTube channel are also hilarious.

I highly recommend it if you are interested. On their user forums there are lots of already prepped cars for sale so you don’t even have to figure out all of the safety regulations right away. It’s also fun as a spectator so if there is one in your area go check it out for a couple hours, walk the pits, take part in the shenanigans.

Also for a laugh and a good read on the vibe check out their official policy on bribing the judges :

“Previously, investors in OpenAI’s commercial entity were capped at making 100 times their money before the rest of its profits flowed back to the nonprofit.

With the new PBC subsidiary, OpenAI spokesperson Steve Sharpe tells me that investors and employees will own regular stock with no cap on how much it can appreciate. “

They got exactly what they want anyway. This is no victory.

Brilliant, love these options. I think Dawarich looks fun, and really powerful data gathering that is mapped to places and summarized, which is very cool

So many good options! Ya'll are the best

Self hosted place check-ins (seattlelunarsociety.org)

I am an information hoarder and liked the Foursquare swarm app for checking into restaurants and other interesting places when I travel, because I love seeing the pins on the map of the places I have been and remembering places later. I have scripts running to download my check-ins and store them in a self hosted map.

But I obviously don’t need to keep giving them my location data. Are there any self hosted alternatives with that kind of international database of places?

Not liquid enough.

So Batman and Catwoman did hook up after all!

I honestly don’t know if we are capable of this level of bravery anymore. I hope so.

 

I don’t have a dirty mind… you do!

It’s a good caturday to sit in a windowsill and watch the world go by. #caturday

 

The TSA has attempted to roll out more facial recognition in airports but has so far been blocked from doing so. Clear is stepping in to gather all that biometric data for them, in addition to the fingerprints and Iris scans they already have, and provid it to TSA directly while making a profit on the side from doing so. 

“In the near future, Clear's new facial recognition system will electronically transmit members' digital identities to TSA's second-generation Credential Authentication Technology (CAT-2) scanners, Clear says.”

They have not received any OSHA fines, but that’s because they haven’t submitted injury data to OSHA since 2016. But now employees are starting to self-report.

 

I really love this Kickstarter digital photo/art frame and even though the company shut down this week, I have kept mine alive and made it work really well, better in some ways than it did before.

Here's the post on keeping the EO1 alive in zombie mode. I hope it helps someone else not throw away this cool device! https://z32guru.com/tech-projects/electric-objects-eo1-zombie-mode

I also started/hosted a community for fellow EO1 hackers to help share knowledge on how the device works. https://seattlelunarsociety.org/c/electricobjectseo1
