Every time we get a weird knife wednesday- “where do you keep getting these weird ass knives?”

It’s some of the best content available.

Invest in a standing desk. Sitting all day, even in a good chair is no good for you. Mix it up.

It’s why I never say “eat the rich”, instead say: “compost the rich”. That way everyone knows I am serious about both parts of the ‘joke’.

Edit: I remember why - I wanted to use a single button dimming option, and as far as I can tell, there wasn't that option in Shelly natively. There isn't really a "native" version of this in Tasmota, but someone had already laid out the method to do such a thing with rules and whatnot within the Tasmota console. But after tinkering with it all this morning, I think I busted it beyond repair, so I might give the native Shelly a try!

Mostly because I'm lazy. This device was set up before Shelly made it so easy to run offline versions of the native firmware. And I've got a handful of devices already running Tasmota, so I'm just resistant to change.

Yeah, Tasmota has 'setoption19' to enable autodiscovery, and I triggered it, and it finds a whole host of SENSORS - but none of them are the switches. It does add one entity which is a single switch. But it seems this just correlates to switch1. I'm thinking it has something to do with how I originally set up the dimmer... it was years ago, so I guess I need to dig into my notes and see if I can figure out what options I set on it before I moved it to it's current spot.

for reference, the data spit out by Tasmota: {"Time":"2024-08-29T15:17:19","Switch1":"OFF","Switch2":"OFF","ANALOG":{"Temperature":35.1},"ENERGY":{"TotalStartTime":"2021-07-13T17:05:01","Total":37178.152,"Yesterday":0.000,"Today":0.000,"Period":0,"Power":0,"ApparentPower":0,"ReactivePower":0,"Factor":1.00,"Voltage":117,"Current":0.000},"TempUnit":"C"}

This is my take away as well.

(Burger looks great, btw!)

Damn. I swear it didn’t say that when I commented!

I wish the wiki post said something about how the tofu was prepared!

[–] Nimrod@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

I second this. How is the tofu prepped? Pressed? Frozen? I’m always looking for new tofu recipes

Aye, good call. My bad. Didn’t mean to come off judgy!

Weird! I love it. I’ll give it a go next time. I’ve got some dill in the garden, so it’s an easy adjustment. I used Thai basil and cilantro in this one. Got both growing this year. Seems like herbs and squash is all I can get to grow around here!

[–] Nimrod@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Do it! It’s so easy. And squash is so plentiful right now.

I’ve found the can of paste is usually enough if I use the whole can for one can of coconut milk.

If I’m making it for guests, I start with half the can of paste per can of coconut milk. I like it spicier than most my guests.

 

I want to get my partner a replacement for an aging chromebook. I was thinking it would be easiest to just grab another super budget chromebook and call it a day. But the more I read about google and chrome, the less I want to do with them.

So my goal is to snag a cheap ($300ish?) laptop that I can slap Linux on (probably mint, but I’m open to suggestions).

The main caveat is the size- needs to be small. Current chromebook is 11.5” I think. I’d like to keep it under 13”. The main use (95% will be web browsing/streaming/email/bullshit) but I’d like it to have enough juice to play Minecraft on my local server.

I’ve looked around a bit, but my god there is a lot of options. I’d love it if there was just a recommendation that was proven to work. I’m busy enough tinkering with all the other tech, and I’d like to just set this one up and forget it.

 

Got some friends together to help us roll some sushi. Here are some of the prettier attempts!

 

I’ve finally configured my garden and landscaping on drip irrigation, but I’m using some dumb valves hooked up to my house hose spigot.

I would absolutely love a smart valve that I can have better control of the schedule, or respond to sensors.

After some looking around, it seems like “Rachio” is the only integration I can find for something like this. It’s a bit pricy ($99 per valve), and it looks like it needs a wifi hub to work. Has anyone used this integration successfully?

Is there any other options? There seem to be lots of “Bluetooth” controllers available in the big box stores, but I’m guessing they will need an app or something?
