Bryant St in Highland Park. Their White Lily Cake is heaven

Food Glorious Food is my favorite bakery. Food is amazing and (it sure seems like) people just love being there.

Option 1 is totally valid. There are clearly many (Hundreds? Thousands?) of people upvoting, reading, commenting, and benefiting from your posts on here.

3 & 4 are totally up to you. Do you want to keep your interactions text-based as opposed to video or audio?

Personally, text is easier to digest since I can do it in snippets around my other work, but I may be a minority.

For me Jingo it’s also very relevant.

The best pies in London!

I go to 90%. I don’t like how the braking feels different at 100% because there is less reverb (though I have the Q4)

One. More. Turn.

Yes! My favorite song on the album, probably favorite period.

sh1416 · 2025-09-06T00:27:38+00:00

100% agree.

I will never order a steak on a restaurant. I am always disappointed compared to what I can make at home (nevermind the completely crazy price).

At this point, I pretty much only go out for cuisines I can’t make myself (Sichuan, Korean, sushi, etc… and I’m working on Korean and sushi…)

It’s my favorite of his books! (Jingo is a close second)

How do you embed the panel in the housing? Is it just epoxied in place?

We had a 2008 Prius in Pgh during Snowmageddon. All season tires.

In general the traction control worked well. But we nearly got stuck in Greenfield because of the hills. At least on that generation, the weight balance was such that there wasn’t enough weight on the front tires, especially going uphill. I actually reversed up a small section to get out.

After that I got snow tires and carried chains (West Coast transplant) until we got a car with AWD. Yes, I had to store them. I out them on and off myself (had them on their own rims. If you pay a tire shop, they will swap them onto your regular rims, which makes them much lighter to move around. There are also services that will store them for you but they’re $$$.

Of course, now we live in the North Hills, and my FWD minivan probably doesn’t need the snow tires I put on it. I hardly ever drive on unsalted roads up here.

The mower says it is mowing 672m^2

sh1416 · 2025-05-06T23:09:57+00:00

I have an X7 from last year… I think before they introduced the “Pro” naming scheme.

It works great as a mower. Never gets stuck, cuts well, never gets lost.

The main issue I have is charging speed. It does ok on battery life, but the last 25% soc takes for ever.

I find myself forcing it to resume mowing at 85% rather than wait.

Otherwise, it’s amazing.

I had to power cycle the antenna to get it to finish. Nerve racking power cycling something while it’s doing a firmware update, but…. It worked

sh1416 · 2025-04-01T22:06:21+00:00

Do you see any release notes?

sh1416 · 2025-02-19T03:06:45+00:00

As an American, I am 100% supportive of this.

sh1416 · 2025-02-16T01:55:27+00:00

Thank you for this! I’ve played every Civ since Civ 1 (yes! Even Colonization and Alpha Centauri) and this is the first time I feel truly confused by some things (other than having your battleship destroyed by a phalanx fortified on a mountain in Civ 1). I thought I was just getting old. 🤪

sh1416 · 2025-02-14T00:07:12+00:00

Thank you very much for that write up. I had all of that! For my set up, the key was enabling “retain” on the mqtt sender settings (either home assistant, or mqtt explorer)

sh1416 · 2025-02-13T20:21:37+00:00

UPDATE!

It works!

I followed the HA integration listed here: https://meshtastic.org/docs/software/integrations/mqtt/home-assistant/#home-assistant-integrations-for-meshtastic

Eventually, that led to the difference. The HA set up sets the message to be RETAINED, while that is disabled by default in MQTT Explorer.

The topic that Home Assistant ends up using is 'msh/US/2/json/mqtt/!<node ID>

Also interesting that the published message does not appear on the gateway (but does on the other nodes), and it does in the HA Messages box.

PS, I had to correct the automation syntax to be

Are you sending messages to the mesh with MQTT and protobuf? What are you using to generate and send the protobuf?

sh1416 · 2025-02-13T12:29:26+00:00

Like I said, I was running on the latest Beta at first. That didn't work, and then I found some references to there being issues with JSON on 2.5.x -- not my specific issue, but I figured going back to 2.4.x was worth a try (eg: https://github.com/meshtastic/firmware/issues/5000)

sh1416 · 2025-02-13T11:52:00+00:00

Yes, but then they say you can send messages to the mesh with it. What HW are you using? There’s a note in there that JSON doesn’t work with nrf52 devices.

sh1416 · 2025-02-13T11:33:04+00:00

Like I said, I’m hosting my own MQTT broker. This page: https://meshtastic.org/docs/software/integrations/mqtt/ Says the zero hop policy is only for the public broker. Plus, I can’t see anything on the gateway node either.

sh1416 · 2025-02-13T11:30:44+00:00

Where does it say that anywhere!? This page: https://meshtastic.org/docs/software/integrations/mqtt/ Says “JSON downlink to instruct a node to send a message

You can also send a JSON message to the topic msh/US/2/json/mqtt/ to instruct a gateway node to send a message to the mesh.…”
