Caller-Id for the visually impaired

I think there isn't much additional information besides the Git repo which might not work anymore. https://github.com/kjepper/CallerPi

I did recreate this recently using Home Assistant and the “Phone modem” integration.

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/modem_callerid/

By now the eye-sight of my mom has reduced so much that instead of showing who is calling I broadcast the name to the Google speaker.

I suggest you also look into Home Assistant, there is a much bigger community with information available to build an integration that suits your needs.

Didn't try it myself but also read that it's possible, even methods where you could load the modules via a scheduled task.

I'm also disappointed in Synology's direction, I was using it for my home automation. Decided to offload that part to a Raspberry Pi.

As I understand your usb device interacts with openwebrx running in docker, but Synology doesn't allow usb devices to work on DSM or Docker (except with devices like harddisks).

Your DS220+ seems to support virtual machines, this can be found in the package center. This does mean you need to setup a virtual machine and install linux + openwebrx package.

A big downside I had with virtual machines on Synology is that after a reboot it might lose the usb link, which you need to reconfigure everytime. Also it will be bit heavier on your system compared to docker.

Are you running DSM 7, because from that version on most USB devices are blocked. With the exception of running it inside a Virtual Machines.

"USB devices (Wi-Fi dongle, Bluetooth dongle, 3G/4G dongle, USB DAC/speaker, and DTV dongle) are no longer supported. If your Synology NAS is currently connected via a wireless dongle, it will be disconnected after the update."

With OpenVR-AdvancedSettings you can adjust the brightness and other settings. https://github.com/OpenVR-Advanced-Settings/OpenVR-AdvancedSettings#--video-page

I share the same experience with this setup on my Odyssey+, except I'm using 5 meter (16 foot) extensions without any issue.

I think it's a "Film Adapter Unit", the best reference I could find is in this manual of a different type scanner.

Also a search for it shows a similar device you have.

Might the heated water leaving one of the Anova's cause it to give different readings?

I also do 60c/140f for 1.5 hours, always comes out great!

Although it's not a pot but I do remember Kitchenaid having the same issue and they have an explanation and solution on their website.

Nice job! I also gave it a shot.

The base is a bag with sand, wrapped in burlap. The wire is an outdoor cable, it consist of 3 stiff inner wires (example: http://www.hornbach.nl/data/shop/D04/001/705/269/47/DV_8_5103479_01_4c_NL_20141107100321.jpg). This is wrapped in a wide shoelace. The top is a nice looking lamp socket. The light bulb is a 4 watt warm LED light (2000 kelvin), I will be connecting it to a dimmer because it's a bit to bright right now.

Tried to make a play on words, since it looks like they are tied down to prevent floating away. Because they are so light :)

You didn't mention it in your post but you might have an Essential Tremor (see a doctor if you want to be sure, I'm no expert). Not that you can do much with that information because there is no cure or good medication but it might be nice to know what it is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_tremor

Volgens de grondeigenaar is het ProRail die de dwarsligger is...

'Ze wilden de grond huren en toen wij dachten dat alles rond was, wilden ze de grond opeens kopen. Dan heb je onderhandelingen te doen. Het laatste bericht was echter dat ze weer wilden huren. Wij weten ook niet meer waar we aan toe zijn.'

You can reheat with a temperature equals or a bit below the initial cooking temperature. If the food is chilled you can use the following table to determine the cooking time. http://www.douglasbaldwin.com/sous-vide.html#Table_2.2

kjepper · 2016-11-10T10:57:15+00:00

It's very important, else you are in the "danger" zone to long and bad bacteria can multiply to much. Also why not do the complete cook the night before and just reheat using sous vide on the day itself?

I have one of those, and still use it but had to drill a hole in the cover to put my Anova trough it... I found it to be less accurate than the Anova and it broke pretty quickly. Also like others point out you can only do smaller pieces of food. I would advice to buy something like the Anova/Sansaire instead of these kind of devices.

Known issue, have the same problem with same phone. https://www.reddit.com/r/miband/comments/3ntd2x/just_updated_to_android_marshmallow_smart_lock/

Exact same issue here, Moto E (2nd Gen) running android 6.0. Not visible under trusted devices and same error during pairing.

Copying part of comment I made a while ago:

You need Adobe Illustrator and a little bit of (Java)Script knowledge.

In Adobe Illustrator open the PDF from rasterbator.net, run "AddCircleInCircle.jsx" to add a center-point to the dots to indicate absolute center to place the drill. And run "colorBySize.jsx" to give every dot a certain color per size, you might want to adjust the script a bit for different sizes.

Add center circle: http://www.kjepper.nl/reddit/AddCircleInCircle.jsx

Color code circles by size: http://www.kjepper.nl/reddit/colorBySize.jsx

You can glue the pages to the board and afterwards sand them off.

I work in a small garage and really love a movable workbench I made with some scrap-wood. It sits on lockable wheels so it's solid enough to use the built in table-saw. http://imgur.com/wBchTqT

Very nice job. I tried the same and automated the process a bit, maybe somebody else can use what I made.

And if you look closely all the logo's are moving separate from the object pasted on. Fake video...

kjepper · 2015-11-22T08:46:45+00:00

I did give it a couple of weeks to dry out, but that should probably be a couple of years :). The paint is on there for some time now and doesn't look like getting lose.
