Smart Home? Make It Smart Quarters With This LCARS Dashboard

At the risk of starting a controversy: is there anyone who goes to the effort of setting up Home Assistant who wouldn’t really rather be living on the Enterprise-D? If such a person exists, i…

Sector 004 Infrastructure: Fully Documented. 🖖🚀

I've mapped my entire network into a unified, LCARS-inspired tactical ecosystem. From the "Subspace Gateway" to the "Hive," everything is accounted for.

The Grid: 📡 Core: 5-Port Gateway expansion 💻 Edge: 8-Port hub for workstations 🧠 Collective: PoE+ 8-Port switch for the Hive 🤖 The Hive: RPi K3s cluster with Netdata telemetry

Now that I finally installed @homeassistant I also (finally) reflashed my old WiFi RGB lights to @esphome
This took some trial and error, but they're now all flashed to #ESPHome 🙂
And here's a screenshot of my next project with #HomeAssistant, #LCARS baby 🙂
If you're not tired of the holiday jingles yet, here is more. ❄️From my #TitanDS 2023 December update. Info on how to play the jingles directly in Titan.DS's DNA module, see➡️ https://mewho.com/logs/#t2023.12.19a

Just venting:

I am a long-time #StarTrek fan... but I fucking hate the #LCARS design language. Massive swoops of useless blocks of color eating up and cluttering screen space, containing equally useless numbers to look "sci-fi"; an ugly-ass font-choice; and annoying beeps and boops to sound "sci-fi" too. Discovery and Strange New Worlds do it so much better. Even DS9's Cardassian design was more appealing.

Let LCARS die, Trek fandom, I beg you.

In the Starfleet Technical Manual, there is a throwaway detail of the LCARS user interface that when it is upgraded, users can still utilize the previous several versions. This is because their work is mission-critical and it is unacceptable to compromise the mission by forcing unfamiliar changes; eventual retraining is part of their job, but the flexibility allows them to take the retraining at their own pace.

I think about this from time-to-time and how this is still a sci-fi idea that is seen all too rarely in how we do actual computer UIs.
