It's a homemade chicken noodle soup kinda night. Smoked whole chickens yesterday so easy 2nd nite meal...

Finally mounted a new hearth powered tablet in the kitchen and tossed the Google nest in the ewaste bin. If you're a "local apps" type home lab user (mealie, home assistant, music assistant, frigate etc) check it out: hearth-home.io

On the chance that McDonalds is the drive through option that wins I hate how they play a prerecorded "what can I get you" then open the mic line so I can hear the one person who is back there working talking to the other line. I've been fooled into talking to no one too often. #pettyproblems

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

South Dakota in the fall means corn pits and every single communicable illness possible.

Excited to get some time over the weekend to work on Galaxy Twin, a modern interpretation of Darius Twin from my youth with a SNES. It's going to have a banger soundtrack like the OG and awesome artwork thanks to some friends. I'll post more as the storyline gets written!

It's been a long week of doing a lot of things I never thought I would have to do after my 42 year old sister died very unexpectedly. She left a husband and 9 children, which means a lot of bills for him. If you're so inclined to make a strangers life a bit easier: www.gofundme.com/f/in-loving-...

Had a blast at Open Home Foundation Summit. See @paulusschoutsen.nl giving one of his signature community welcome speeches, complete with Fuck Venture Capital money statement!

Hello Portugal!

Last Jetski ride of the season, we are all out of the water.

Lets see what we can turn these into!

The whole Open Home Foundation team is in Lisbon on Wednesday, Sept 23, and so is the community 🎉 Come celebrate the open home with the people who build it, and everyone who runs one at home. Free, 7pm, Impact Hub Lisbon. Just a few spaces left 👇

Took the kids to a hockey game last night and had a blast watching the action.

NYC Diner food and an airport sipper. This was some unholy mix of red bull and citrus juices and was fantastic.

Welcome to Fall, SD.

Fall rack cleanup is starting

My weekend was chilly but fun

Frankie dares you to try to get work done.

Pewee flag football for Saturday

@home-assistant.io is almost ready to replace Google Home devices for voice access, one thing I wanted was a custom wake word, so I asked AI to help me out, and it spit out a Docker setup that takes in a wake word and trains a model (GPU-accelerated even!) Now to test!

This is Frankie. He thinks it's bullshit we have to go back to work tomorrow, too!

These cute little Heltecv3 cases would be way, way cooler if it somehow relocated USB C to the back of the case.

Am I missing something, is there a really great piece of hardware and software for multi-room audio all plumbed to one place? I'm using Home Asisstant/Music Assistant/Plex for the library and playing management... PUtting speakers in ceilings as we rennovate, wired to a single point.

@mikehar.bsky.social Just watched the Wynns video on your beautiful boat, thank you for opening your doors to the world in such a weird time- it's a great boat!

Please enjoy this early week timeline cleanse of Sir Frankie of the 2nd Floor, King of Margarets Room. (Peasants can just call him Frankie)

My first solar mesh node! Hoping to get a few more up in the neighborhood soon.

My wife has perfected her dairy free biscuits and gravy and good lord will I gain weight if she keeps making these.

@iracing.com the ai seasons and improved AI are awesome. This dude is working through ARCA!

Breakfast in WY at the Luxury Diner!

Rockies game break.

Thunderstorms as it got dark last night and woke up to snow. Yuck.

#bird the turkey's don't want to miss out when the squirrels dump the feeder on the deck. Only one female came up to visit but the whole group was down on the ground waiting for a summary of treats available.

We are in that part of the year where I question my sanity for living here.

Jammed my finger up pretty good at Volleyball, but the ankle twist was just falling down the stairs. #oldpeopleproblems

Did some great pond skating then the wife surprised me gnocchi!

We all have an emotional support dead famous guy and who he is says a lot about you

I mean, I think P.R. has nicely asked to be a state, not sure we should get so tunnel visioned on Canada before we do that... Seems like we'd have more ammo for the whole gulf of America thing, no? /Satire

Wife leaves to have a day at her moms w/kids and expects me to get a lot done but asks how my "Day off" was. I love her, but it's never a day off: I will always either get a lot done or procrastinate doing dumb things until I don't get anything done instead of just relaxing and having fun.

Cozy night, despite the single digit temps outside.

Am I alone that I still buy CDs and rip them? #physicalMedia @eve6.bsky.social

Pizza, root beer, spin dip and video games, what a great last few days!
