UK friends! This week, you can pre-order ETERNITY’S TOMB at 20% off *and* support local independent bookstores by using code PREORDER20 over at Bookshop.org! Why would you not? It’s a no-brainer! (Well, technically there is a brain in the book.) https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/eternity-s-tomb-dan-moren/2f1df51143d9bb6d?ean=9781915998026&next=t

I needed a way to put drones on a map. Drone vendors seem to make this difficult to do natively. So I wrote up a Python application to sniff RemoteID broadcasts and write those to a #CalTopo map. Initial release is pretty basic, but does the job. https://github.com/heytensai/remoteid-caltopo-tracker

@Gjoel @morph This is what I did and it worked ok with a few quirks. I have multiple ESP32 BT sensors so the distance fluctuated, depending on which ESP32 was measuring. And the beacon was not as weatherproof as I hoped, so it rusted out and is now ruined. But it worked well until then.

I created a #Meshtastic to #CalTopo bridge in Python so I can slap a mesh tracker on my drone and record its location on a map. https://github.com/heytensai/meshtastic-caltopo-tracker

@KZ4LN I turn the porch lights on if it's after dark. Mostly so I don't trip on the steps coming home, but also I have scared off teens this way.

OMG I’m *very* tempted to rewrite all my YAML automations for Home Assistant using this: https://github.com/adanowitz/HASSL 🤩

I signed up for Kagi, after a long time considering it. So far I like it a lot and look forward to using a service that caters to me and not to advertisers. I'm curious to see how many searches I do per day. They say the typical user makes about 3 searches per day, but that seems way low for me.

@hyperreal If you're looking for something like VS Code but lets you remain in control of how it works, have you tried Zed? I switched about a year ago and I love it. It does have AI, but only if you enable it.
