@caseyliss was just listening to your after show re:zwave and just wanted to comment that after dealing with zwave as “addons” to other ecosystems, I found that dedicated hubs like Hubitat are the answer to having a lot less hassle with zwave (and Zigbee) - these tend to integrate as a bridge well with things like HA and the like.

Erin: Our networks are *worse* now in 2024 than they were back when we created the covid tracking project. We wouldn't be able to do that now. The network is hostile to sociability, it's going underground to private discords, private slacks, partly because platforms have poisoned so much.

Unpopular opinion: the only rule for having a Wikipedia page about a topic should be : "Would someone in the world ever look for information about this topic on Wikipedia?"
