Math teacher by day, tech nerd by night. I like exploring places where the two passions can intersect.

Interests include:
#homeautomation
#woodworking
#cooking
#mathedu
and pretty much all other tech geekiness.

Google's new HIGHLY INVASIVE ad monitoring and selling framework is now live in Chrome and it defaults to ON so you MUST ACTIVELY OPT OUT.

We all know this is bad, but here's how to do it:

Settings>Privacy & Security>Ad Privacy>disable these 3: Ad Topics, Site-suggested Ads, Ad Measurement

To be clear, this is for desktop AND MOBILE versions of chrome.

Daily reminder that Discord is not a wiki, guide site, or a forum. "Did you ask on the Discord?" is not a valid answer because someone will be looking for that info in a few years and either find invalid invites, or a dead Discord that they have to try to unearth their answer in previous discussion like they're trying to find obsidian arrowheads in Egypt. Assuming that Discord server even still exists at that point. And unlike when a site vanishes, there is no wayback machine for Discord servers

My folks are off grid and use #HomeAssistant to manage their batteries and generator auto start. The primary use for this project is to wake them up if the battery runs critically low and the generator fails to start when called by the automation.

I forgot to take more pictures before delivering to the folks house but very happy with my latest #ESPHome project enclosure. This one is designed to sit next to the bed and has a passive rtttl buzzer which can play notifications from #HomeAssistant. The button on the top silences the audible alert. Also threw a temp/humidity sensor in because why not?

This one cuts deep:
The modern condition is mostly trying to do things on your own that people have historically achieved with a large support network and wondering why you're tired all the time.

@homeassistant #HomeAssistant To follow up on this. I just got confirmation from the Raspiaudio account on their forums that i2s_din_pin: GPIO35. Will continue tinkering and post a full config if I get it working.

@homeassistant #HomeAssistant Okay, I got some free time and I'm playing with my Muse Proto trying to get it working as an Assist device. It's in ESPHome, I can send TTS, and the onboard button triggers the Assist pipeline. I'm stuck on the mic. Does anyone know which GPIO it lives on? The RaspiAudio docs... aren't great.

It's been decided that I am going to move away from Arlo, so something less buggy hopefully.

Any recommendations for a doorbell camera that doesn't have privacy implications?

Holy crap I just randomly ran across the way to disable those annoying “Log In With Google” prompts that appear all over the web.

1. https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy?hl=en
2. Scroll to Apps and Services
3. Click Third-party apps with account access
4. Uncheck Google Account sign-in prompts
