Just looking for some advice if the idea I have in mind is even feasible.

I have 2 light switches in my kitchen, one for some pendant lights, one for some overhead cannister lights.

I hate the placement of the switches, since the pendant lights which I prefer are far away from the actual doorways into the kitchen. Meanwhile the cannister lights are on the switches near the doors.

I'm looking to do some clever "hackery" to make it so the switches by the doors control the pendant lights, if possible, but I don't want to have to rewire things in the walls/ceilings.

Is there a good solution to this? I was looking at some Shelly switches, but I'm not sure those solve for the problem I wanna solve. I'm willing to swap out switches or wire in things near the lights, but trying to keep things simple as possible.

Just came here to say that this also affects any applications that use the libwebp library.

That includes many apps that most people don't think of as "browsers".

Electron based applications all use chromium under the hood, and are quite common/prolific these days.

Expect updates to a lot of things in the near future.

Turquoise, by Electric Six (electricsix.bandcamp.com)
 

Any other E6 fans on here??

I think my fave track so far is Staten Island Ass Squad but there's a lot of gems on this one.

Ever notice that this movie is basically the same story as The Three Amigos?

BetterTouchTool (which isn't free but is worth every penny) lets you do everything rectangle does. Also lets you configure your mouse buttons to do whatever you want. Also infinite custom hot keys and shortcuts.

Also Raycast as a replacement for Spotlight.

Pretty much anything by Electric Six or Clutch. Honorable mentions to Soul Coughing and VNV Nation.


Karma chameleon, you come and go ⋅ Karma police, arrest this ho. ⋅ Karma's a bitch, it gets a little jumpy when you come near.

-- Electric Six, (It Gets a Little) Jumpy


Like Harry Truman dropping bombs out of the air ⋅ Like any self-respecting multi-billionaire ⋅ This is who you are, five dancing teenage boys ⋅ Who sing their way into our hearts ⋅ Backstreet's back, alright

-- Electric Six, Jimmy Carter


Next thing that I did was tap out Morse code ⋅ With a wooden nickel on the receiver of the phone ⋅ Before I could complete it, I was quickly overtaken ⋅ By the angry spirits of Ronald and Nancy Reagan

But he also discusses why things froth and some of the science behind it. Might be helpful when selecting an alterna-milk?

I'm curious, what brand/model is the frother?

_____, by Sadness (sadnessmusic.bandcamp.com)
 

Not sure what to call this album. "Series of Underscores" ? 😂

Love it so far.

And because I drink coffee and I'm a total klutz...

  • Contigo Auto-seal travel mug. These things are practically bomb-proof and prevent spills!
  • a stainless steel double-walled french press. Also bomb-proof and retain heat really well.

Just a word of advice about any/all non-cast-iron pans... never take a hot pan and run it under water. It may create a very satisfying blacksmith blast of steam effect, but it almost invariably results in the bottom of the pan warping to be not-quite-flat.

Things I have done with my Pi(s) --

  1. AirplayPi so I can airplay to my non-Apple speakers.
  2. OctoPi so I can interact with my 3D printer via the local network.
  3. Kodi media player
  4. HomeAssistant hub
  5. PiHole network-wide adblocker
  6. I put Tailscale on an older Pi and plugged it in on my parents' network, so I have remote access to help them with their router or whatever.
  7. RetroPi - classic game emulator. Plays just about everything prior to PS2 generation stuff.

The Blog That Celebrates Itself Records (theblogthatcelebratesitself.bandcamp.com)
 

I'm sure this is probably old news for many folks here, but this label has some fantastic compilation albums. Quite literally days and days worth of material.

 

first album: Terrifyingly Evocative Sets

 

Oh, my bad, I was thinking of the Dutch King.

I'm a little sad there's no Jimmy McMillan character, just for this one prompt.

I'm sure this is a total longshot, given how few folks are likely learning Yiddish on Duolingo, but figured I'd create a community for it anyway.

They say if you don't practice the language every day, it'll never stick.
