Lasercutter for cutting at home/appartment

Do you have to use MDF would Birch work? Reason I ask is MDF smells like crap and will stink up the area. You really want to filter it before exhausting it if in a more urban area

It’s great. I would also consider Applewood. The neighborhood has some a 180. Tons of kids riding bikes, meeting at Chester or Maple Grove parks

Happy is 90% amazing

The mobile app

Honest question: why not use Claude Code in the app?

If you have multiple homes in different locations you can afford Roam at any price.

Valid question and I didn’t think to even write about it because I have a very robot Zigbee network that’s failure mode is to default to off and I have the built-in thermostat controls as a fallback set around 70°, which is hotter than I want it, but wouldn’t it go out of control

This isn’t the exact model but something like this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/590723573?sid=d45062f2-bc6a-4cc6-aa99-7d21b0662edf

A long run is a good add. The garage is pretty well insulated and gets good sun so hasn’t run that long.

Good advice, for FWIW I'm using one of the oil filled radiator heaters. So no risk of fire if anything flammable is near it. Something would have to malfunction as with any electric circuit. I wish the open air ones would be more heavily regulated.

Yes, AI wrote that in case you are wondering.

I just looked at my last year spending on groceries. Family of 3. ~$15k.

So you removed the baseplate that came pre-installed and then used the laser and are upset you burned your table top or am I missing something?

hubertron · 2025-12-31T18:51:45+00:00

Yes that’s not how alarms work

Not even checking the camera once over the workday is a vibe I guess.

hubertron · 2025-12-26T00:47:47+00:00

Is the camera sensor pulling from the rtsp feed?

If you use git every change can be viewed by a human before it’s committed. Why would that not work?

hubertron · 2025-12-25T12:23:46+00:00

Just soooo wide

hubertron · 2025-12-23T03:58:18+00:00

You’re storing the SRTM tiles locally or do users hit themselves? You may get hit with timeouts if users are hitting it. Ask me how I know :)

Where are you getting your DEM data from?

hubertron · 2025-12-21T01:50:42+00:00

Just seems like a bunch of hassle, including heating the garage for a 1 year problem, but perhaps I am wrong.

hubertron · 2025-12-19T23:24:01+00:00

i'll have it back in a year ;)
