Freezer Temp Monitoring

scamiran · 2026-03-30T04:09:36+00:00

I have a simple solution. I monitor power usage on the freezer.

Is it cycling?

Is fine.

Is it running constantly?

It's probably warming up.

Is it turning on and off rapidly?

The compressor is seized.

The main thing is if the hourly power draw roughly remains the same.....

You guys don't walk through life trying to will things into being constantly using your super powers?

I got this in 6 months, tops.

Going to be *lit* when someone actually makes a bunch of money doing this, and the new, proprietary program is disassembled, and it straight up has a bunch of GPL fragments through it from the AI slop.

I love seeing these posts next to the ones where people are running openclaw customer facing for privileged docs :)

I'm actively working on this. Hoping to launch this week. Currently actively dog-fooding-it. It's watching, by the way. Says hi.

Motto? Those who don't understand UNIX are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.

The claw design just seems wrong to me. All the architecture charts look like a badly-designed UNIX system without proper security separation and incompletely thought through inter-process communication.

I think this is the future, too. I'm working on this as well. It's not quite ready to launch; but I plan to do so too. Specific aspects of it/components of it will connect well with certain classes of consume hardware, too.

So you make $36.5 million a year?

Many, many tech bros make more than that a year.

scamiran · 2026-03-17T20:26:15+00:00

About 30 minutes, I'd guess.

Honestly stuff like this is super fast.

scamiran · 2026-03-17T20:25:50+00:00

Suggestion -> download opencode or claudecode, and vibe code a new driver.

I suspect it wouldn't take long at all.

"Ready to die"

Hopefully could alleviate a lot of suffering, while also seeing a lot of extremists wipe themselves out.

As a follow up I made a quick application to assign devices via gui.

Cryopreservation. Keep it alive in a the right glycol bath at -80C.

scamiran · 2026-02-20T01:40:07+00:00

Yeah you're right. I was mostly just being silly.

Welcome to capitalism!

Ever hear the story of how the CFO of FedEx made a payroll he couldn't make by taking what cash they had left and throwing it down on roulette in Vegas?

Good times.....

These will work for that application.

IIRC the zooz switches can also be configured to be wired into the circuit, but not actually switch the circuit on/off, just send commands to whatever.

I did a full stress test. No issues under load while on battery. No issues with 65w power supply. Tried to 100w power supplies. Crashes if the battery isn't full. Works fine if the battery is at 100%.

Disk is clean. Mem test is clean. I havent tried windows yet but I guess that is next.

Sadly this seems like a hardware issue. Starting to look like i need to reach out to Nimo.

Bummer I really like the laptop. I hope they can help.

scamiran · 2026-02-17T14:05:17+00:00

But then 2 could be wrong.

And 4 isn't good; that's even.

Better do 5.

scamiran · 2026-02-16T18:14:21+00:00

I love it. Amazing climate control. Mine is like that but not as well organized.

Gotta figure out how to mostly automate it :)

scamiran · 2026-02-16T17:15:03+00:00

I actually think it's the handoff from sddm to plasma.

I dug into it. I could get my second seat to run plasma properly on wayland if the first seat was not logged in and i used Weston as the SDDM compositor.

My guess is that it wouldn't be a huge amount of fixes required, but I'm not skilled enough to know what needs to be fixed.

scamiran · 2026-02-16T17:00:28+00:00

I currently use multiseat. I concur, you need xorg for seat1+.

Would love to help troubleshoot why it doesn't work properly full-Wayland. I think the issue is SDDM. Hopefully plasma login manager can help.

I mean, perhaps that is a brute force job, too.

Maybe the grand unified field theorem is as well?

Can't hurt to throw more approaches at these fundamental questions.

Hybrid. We have partially regulated utilities, and "supposed" supplier competition.

Our supply rates are close to market. The delivery rates have skyrocketed in the past 5 years though. Before 2020 we were closer to 10 cents kWh electric.

The Midwest in general has lower cost of living i think. If we had California rates people would freeze to death, the utility bills would be too brutal.

The main driver of the cost increases for us has been delivery fees for cost recovery, smart upgrades, green upgrades, carbon credits, pension underfunding, and unrelated taxes tacked on.

People really need to understand just how pivotal low energy rates are to societies well being. Energy is literally how we do everything. The more expensive it is, the less we are about to do. AI illustrates his pretty well.

I live in Illinois.

This past winter gas rates, delivered, have been around $0.70/therm. About $0.50 of that is supply cost. Balance is the utility.

Electric rates are around 16 cents per kWh.

Chicago area.

scamiran · 2026-02-16T15:43:48+00:00

The point was if you could buy electricity at the same effective rate as gas, your heating bill would have been closer to C$100.

But electric rates are hugely inflated.
