  • If you use the command line it can make a few keys take you to your destination since the beginning is always distinct by 1 character (for 10 or less categories per layer to avoid 2 char completion requirement).

    0 tab 8 tab 11 tab, you are now at:

    ~/0-code/8-api-upgrade/11-infrastructure-pipeline

    Works better for work that you use similar repos for a repeated number of times. I find for personal projects by the time I remember a completion combo, I might not need it any longer.













  • I took a really big shit the other day. Like, really BIG. We can call it the shit of the americas and anyone that disagrees would be making it a big hubbub.

    Just because it was a president saying something stupid does not prevent it from being stupid.

    Wikipedia was here before those dudes and will be here after them. They are small in the grad scale of things.







  • Same here. I’m using the Nortek z-wave and sigbee usb adapter with zigbee2mqtt + home assistant (both on docker). They are sometimes annoying to pair, but never had one drop for anything other than low battery (original battery sometimes craps out after a few months, but replacements go for 1+ year). I did hear their second gen motion sensor was kind of a miss when compared to the original one, so I stuck to the v1s. Not sure if they’ve addressed the reported issues. People also say that they don’t follow the protocol to the letter, so it seems possible that depending on the hub, they might not work as expected.

    We also have some third reality smart switches that turn a switch “smart” with a physical mechanism on the outside, while not as good looking, they are awesome for renters when you want yo automate things like kitchen lights without having to replace anything on the circuit itself. The batteries last forever (aaa). I found that adding some vinyl matching the color of your outlets makes them more stealth if you also don’t have white outlets.

    Edit: one of our third reality switches was placed on the porch light, which we wired the Christmas lights to this year using one of those $1.50 light socket to socket adapters (LED Christmas lights use very little energy - should be ok to power with a light socket which can do 100w for porch lights just keep it below 60w if unsure). It made automating them on when the sun set and off after midnight or so a breeze.


  • That is expected. When a lane is added it fixes traffic for some time then it goes back to the same due to induced demand. Look at Texas and their 26 lane highway, it has not fixed their traffic problems and never will. It is always hard to move towards less car dependence, but it will never happen if we keep adding lanes.
