Bought a lifetime pass, switched to Jellyfin after way too much Tidal promotion on my server.

I just downloaded the .deb (unless it was an AppImage) and it ran without further tweaking.

Cool! Eversource too, also only a couple chargers and not ours. Though ours has a “PV divert” feature, which tries to only use excess production (if you hook up an MQTT topic with that info), and that saves on transmission charges at least.

Oh look at that, just got notice of automatic enrollment in today’s mail as well. Nice!

Even with all the bike lane improvements, that stretch is primarily a busy automobile road. A bike/pedestrian first crossing would be great.

The feasibility study, authored in 2023, proposes a $302 million winding pedestrian bridge that connects the Leverett Circle, Charles River Dam Road, and the museum to Lechmere Canal and Cambridge.

The multi-use paths will be used by walkers and bikers, the study says, connecting a series of islands built as part of the project. The islands will attract wildlife and simulate river ecosystems, which the museum hopes to incorporate into its programming.

Sounds very cool, but I would be happy with just a straight bridge if it could be done faster/cheaper.

The project is in early development stages, and MassDOT will begin to engage neighbors and other stakeholders and identify a funding source, a spokesperson for MassDOT said. Then, the timeline for the project will be finalized.

So, not for a while.

I’m just getting:

If you haven’t played with Pulumi (for configuring cloud services) and Ansible (for local services, shell commands, apt installs etc) you may enjoy them as a way to capture / re-apply configuration.

This is also the day of the DC protest, and there is a pay-what-you-can bus from Boston to DC for that: https://bit.ly/boston2dc . But great to gather in Boston & thanks for spreading this info!

Hmm, it’s been a while, maybe I’m misremembering. There were definitely some categories of Plex content not from my library that kept reappearing on the home page of my server, despite trying to get rid of them a few times. Maybe they weren’t actually paid, I just assumed they’d only be pushing something if it was going to bring them more revenue.

The other thing that made me want to jump ship extremely fast was when they started sharing your recently watched items with other users, without asking.

Even with Plex pass they were really pushing their paid content. Much happier with Jellyfin, and it was very easy to switch.

I very briefly tried a couple zwave light bulbs with a USB zwave adapter for Home Assistant, but couldn’t get it reliable. I do like the mesh + low power idea though and played around with ZigBee dev boards previously.

I have settled on mostly Tasmota firmware on ESP8266 based devices. Lots of switches (from the CloudFree shop among others), smart plugs, and other devices. I also like to assemble my own sensor/relay boards, which Tasmota is great for. I did have to set a fixed 2.4Ghz channel on one router, and later set “IoT mode” on my Unifi network, to avoid devices falling off the network. I also have flashed most of the devices, but am happy to do that (not so different from uploading an Arduino sketch once you’re used to it).

Training / requirements for somewhere to park besides the bike lane would be great too, though I think that’s as much on street design as drivers.

I have ESP8266 WiFi modules running Tasmota firmware for a few parts of this. Some report temperature (and humidity just for fun), I like DS18B20 sensors better than SHT30s which seem to have a bit more self heating. Then I also have Mitsubishi mini split heat pumps for which there’s a Tasmota control library. MQTT for communication + HomeAssistant for UI + AppDaemon for automation scripts in Python.

Examples of the UI in HA:

Nice job Tufts.

“We are committed to exploring the most educationally rigorous means to teach and learn about the impact of war on the delivery of healthcare and on the health of affected populations, and to do so in a way that does not divide members of our community who hold disparate views,” he wrote.

Can’t offend those backing genocide!

Me debugging SQL syntax errors in complied dbt models.

I really enjoyed working with SQLDelight when I was briefly writing a Kotlin backend, sadly it wasn’t complete enough. (It “generates typesafe Kotlin APIs from your SQL statements.”)

Reminds me of AWS Lambda. Gateway Error 502 you say? Gotta go digging in the application logs!

Yeah, every time I find some weird annoying behavior or some missing feature in MySQL, PostgreSQL is doing it right.

That said, also ask yourself if you really need a relational database, or whether an object store or append-only / timeseries db would fit better.

Interesting article, I hadn’t heard about need for replenishing groundwater v just surface moisture, and for preventing underground fire fuel too. 10 inches is a lot to catch up on, makes the 3" I measured in the last two days sound like much less.
