We have an odd shaped property, so odd that I have found no way to establish a reliable Zigbee mesh network, until I installed multiple SLZB-06 LAN coordinators. As of today I now have 3 of them which means I can now install battery powered devices in the farthest reaches of our property and get a reliable connection.
SLZB06 can also be used as a Thread Border Router - that's the next install.

Following a favourite of one of my Spaniel posts I have discovered your books.
Thanks for both.

Building work is very tiring according to our Spaniel - I can confirm it is 😃

Made the mistake of leaving my Dell laptop (runs Linux, not Windows) unattended with my Spaniel nearby.
Returned to laptop to find 205 instances of Calculator running ... she had jumped on table and stood on calculator key.

Just deleted my Linkedin account as I found their new T&C's regarding GenAI incompatible with my use of the platform.

Just a reminder that if you use @signalapp, and if you can afford to do so, donate monetarily. Every little bit helps.

I can't (and don't want to) imagine a digital world where services like Signal don't exist.

I'm going to start making a very strong effort to NOT use any products that include AI, and supporting ONLY companies that refuse to use it.

First example:

I was on the fence about whether to use Firefox or Vivaldi as my main web browser moving forward. Mozilla made the decision really easy for me. And before all of the, "But Vivaldi isn't 100% Open Source," comments...Yes, I'm very much aware of this, but at this point, I no longer care. I hate AI THAT MUCH, and extremely sick of companies pumping it into everything just to stay up with the cool kids. Oh, and those companies are helping burn the planet. We don't need any extra help with that.

War, children
It's just a shot away
...
Love, sister
It's just a kiss away

I've had enough of Windows 10 / 11.

Installed Linux Mint Debian Edition and very, very happy with the result.

So easy to connect phone to laptop via Bluetooth - compared to the misery of MS Phone Link.
