Happy #CanadaDay errybody!

I replaced the power contact relay in my EV charger. Only took like 8 hours but it works again

@jerry Cancelling Twitter, apparently.
@jerry Getting ready to go spend the 4th at Fort Eisenhower with the grandspawn, where I'll probably die of the heat
@jerry enjoying Canada day and the third "once in a lifetime" thunderstorm season we're having in the last 10 years here.
@jerry rejoicing to the shitposting gods for the gifts they hath given
@jerry I'm programming my blinds to open and close using a light sensor. So far, I think they'll run out of battery real soon
@jerry watching the world burn. You?
@jerry been fighting with some work stuff but i think my part of it is done. i'm determined to make progress on my g5 air cooling project.

@jerry Well, I was going to procrastinate editing the novel, but it looks as if I might have to edit the actual novel now.
@jerry watching the flames get bigger

@jerry cackling that i can have air conditioning for ~450 watts, and crushing on the new empanada spot nearby :D

then adding the new ac unit to home assistant so i can have automation and that sweet sweet graph data

@Viss impressive. What sort of AC unit do you have?
@jerry @Viss I can't immediately find the thread, but it's a portable AC unit that has a heat pump instead of a traditional compressor.

@jerry My macbook is finally back (for the 4th time) so having to set it back up and probably going back to play with zig and osx internals.

What about you?

@jerry in the woods with this beast. The cabin was 50 degrees inside and cell phone service is spotty.
@jerry watched The Last Drive-In last night while following related posts on Mastodon. Tonight I'm watching Barbarian in-person with friends. Tomorrow night, dinner with my parents. Should be a good weekend.
@jerry
Trying to get homeassistant working!

@FritzAdalis

@jerry

As someone who had to restart my 2 year old homeassistant from scratch, godspeed.

@Jakorat
@jerry
I think my biggest problem is I think I can make it run as not root and in an unprivileged container. Developers can be irresponsible.

@FritzAdalis
What type of issues are you running into?
What're you running it on?

@jerry
I'm cleaning up my server room. Coming up on "only" two years since we moved in & a lot of stuff I "temporarily" left in boxes or set up in a "temporary" configuration are still there and the entire flow of the room is off since nothing is where I'd have put it today!

@tjhart85
@jerry
My biggest problem is I think I can make it run as not root and in an unprivileged container. I'm running it on a Rocky 9 vm under podman.

@FritzAdalis

@jerry

Gotcha ... sorry, I'll be of no use. I run it on ProxMox and imported their qcow2 image and used that as my baseline and before that I ran Core (before it was named that) in venv's, but haven't run it as raw docker.

Good Luck!

@jerry when I get home I’m going to catch up on the F1.
@jerry learning about GraphQL and how to attack it.
@jerry About 5’1”, but that’s every weekend (along with weekdays).
@jerry Got the brewery patio evening taken care of last night, pre-4th party this evening, and hopefully a quiet Sunday before a day off on Monday!
@jerry hiking today, working tomorrow

@jerry Implementing on-device mastodon status archiving on my iPhone in a way that also supports full text search

https://hachyderm.io/@mikeymikey/110640678363836784

too many names (@[email protected])

Attached: 4 images Annnd it's done! I now have locally searchable copies of all my mastodon #hachyderm posts and replies on my iPhone via #python running in #Pythonista - which then saves them within an #Obsidian vault that backs up to iCloud Every status is saved as "id.md" and self-contains a #markdown link to its own post as well as a html2text rendered copy of the post contents Hashtags are discoverable by #Obsidian and it's all full text searchable

@jerry Regretting buying a game for €20 that have an UI design from some kindergarten developer and fanatic nerds who defend the UI design and think's it is some kind of litmus test for their manhood to suffer through it.
@jerry Testing different HF wire antenna configurations.
@kb6nzv what bands do you play on?
@jerry Pretty much all of HF. Some VHF, UHF as well.
@jerry Latest experiments with 12:1 Balun on a 48 foot vertical which has 105 feet of teflon jacket wire spiraled more or less evenly. Cyclone fence is part of the Counterpoise. Works surprisingly well.
