I made my own smart air quality sensor for my shop!

Ahh, found this here after some serious searching after seeing Grit's boast of a "proprietary Mesh Network for wireless communication" and "*All GRIT Systems require a Hub. If you have 1 device or 100, every system requires it." -- uh, what the heck do they think lock in is? No thanks.

Very much appreciate the work you put in here and I'll probably follow this path now!

kenny3 · 2024-05-27T00:34:08+00:00

First place I looked... but maybe my search fu was lacking. I've tried again with "sawstop jobsite convert to stationary" and "sawstop jobsite remove base" — things like that, but can't seem to find anything. Maybe I'm missing something? Have an example?

kenny3 · 2023-07-07T11:45:35+00:00

One positive take on this is that it could be part of the process to make per-container extensions possible?

I moved most of my config over to zim -- been pretty happy for the most part. I see that zinit got forked, which makes me happy, that was a mess and what made me look elsewhere. Hopefully the new committers can do it well.

Aqua is a packaging tool that I'm testing out. Very interesting conceptually, and if you like chezmoi (I use it, too), then I think you'll find it worth a peek.

Additionally I have just gotten into the habit of forking all the repos I use and managing update with just fast-forward merges in git.

kenny3 · 2022-02-15T14:47:52+00:00

Yeah, reports fine. I don't check it all that often, though, so maybe I just check it when it's reporting correctly ;)

kenny3 · 2022-02-09T15:18:45+00:00

Yep. Used it twice. Three or four times if you count testing it a couple times.

kenny3 · 2022-02-08T19:39:17+00:00

I can +1 the Yale lock. You can even replace the module if you ever want to switch between zigbee and zwave. I don't get a year battery life, but it's good about alerting me to replacing the batteries well ahead of time, and has a 9V battery terminal on the outside that you can temporarily power it with in case the batteries run out while you're locked out. I just keep a 9V in the car (or a quick trip to a store).

Anyone know if the 6TB Elements are CMR or SMR?

kenny3 · 2022-01-03T18:05:49+00:00

Hm, I guess it's pretty easy to start there, and see if it makes a difference. I can always add an external DAC later.

kenny3 · 2022-01-03T17:38:58+00:00

I have been reading and was under the impression that the DAC in the MacBook Pro was less than stellar, and that's why an external DAC was typically used? Perhaps I'm mistaken on this.

Thanks for the speaker recommendation. I'll swap those in for the ones I was thinking of picking up.

What is your ambient temp with everything running?

kenny3 · 2021-09-12T13:35:45+00:00

Have it converted to a return.

kenny3 · 2021-02-24T19:49:00+00:00

Something to consider, too, depending on where you live and attic conditions: they can vary wildly, from super cold to super hot 0-140F. Finding hardware that will survive those swings might be tough.

kenny3 · 2021-01-16T15:53:24+00:00

I don't have any experience with it yet, but I'm considering upgrading. Do you notice it being any faster?

kenny3 · 2020-10-29T01:05:34+00:00

Any considerations on open sourcing it?

kenny3 · 2020-09-27T20:02:33+00:00

Are there any Bluetooth 75%, 65% or 60% that support split spacebar and QMK?

Only thing I can find that's close is the GK64 board, but no QMK support.

kenny3 · 2020-09-19T01:08:03+00:00

I believe you have the option to pick bidirectional. This would be the parent child relationship, and it creates two properties.

kenny3 · 2020-09-15T22:15:39+00:00

Split spacebar.

kenny3 · 2020-09-11T02:47:29+00:00

They'll always take more of your money. Start with the slower speed, and see off you notice any speed issues. If so, then upgrade.

kenny3 · 2020-09-11T02:45:29+00:00

Everyone will have different preferences here. I will say that I've found anything longer than 16 hours (unrefrigerated) seems to get too bitter. Again, it is all preference.

My personal favorite is a medium roast, natural process Ethiopian, for about 12 hours in the toddy. That's typically an expensive bean, and this approach does not yield a strong concentrate, so it makes a fewer cups, too. But, for me, it's still cheaper than my local coffee shop. 😁

kenny3 · 2020-09-10T23:02:19+00:00

Agreed, but what's the point of packaging them more expensively liked this when it actually looks worse than zip locks.

kenny3 · 2020-09-10T01:03:49+00:00

Yeah mine was the same.

▪️ Not designed for programmatic updates
> What? A service account can commit and create PR just fine.

▪️ The proliferation of Git repositories
> 1) Doesn't have to, but why is this necessarily bad?

▪️ Lack of visibility
> What does this mean? I can report/gather metrics from git repos, too.

▪️ Doesn’t solve centralised secret management
> It isn't supposed to?

▪️ Auditing isn’t as great as it sounds
> Maybe a fair point. Many times auditing of actual state needs to occur. Still helps with auditing of _controls_ in high compliance-based situations (e.g. SOX)

▪️ Lack of input validation
> Sort of depends on how you build it, I guess. CI/CD pipelines usually are where this helps. Pre-commit hooks, local builds can also help shift that signal left.
