I'm melting so of course the perfect way to cool down was to create a temperature sensor from a pico and install home assistant on my zero to chart this furnace

Did a social wellness test on my employee benefit platform. It gave me a low score and then advised me to "try talking to people"

Watched a bit of IO. Not sure about the whole cut and stick approach. A lot of care is put into storytelling which is usually just as important as the snippet.

Just a typical weekend activity trying to get my ancient pentium 4 computer to post. I'd love to try and get Linux on this but I don't have a suitable keyboard yet.

@arielsalminen.com so @darn.es showed me the upcoming Lego bike and I think that might end up being my next one 🙈

@arielsalminen.com I'm not calling it yet but I replaced my rd so I guess technically I have a bike back. I don't trust my work...

Am I doing heart rate training right?

Still looking for this. Currently stuck on dark mode despite system being day 🥲

Yesterday I had trouble getting my smart bike trainer to tell my app how much power I'm putting out. Tried resetting the Bluetooth connection to no avail. Quit the app, no joy. Restarted the phone, turned the trainer off/on. Works 🤷 I'm forever curious what exactly changed. Don't say gremlins...

Cripes just wrote another article - whats going on?! www.studioromeo.co.uk/testing-hard...

If you use WhatsApp, I do wish you'd reconsider. Metadata reveals so much about you and your relationships. Consider more privacy focused apps like Signal. wire.com/en/blog/what...

I broke the cycle and published my first post in (very) nearly 3 years 🎉 www.studioromeo.co.uk/fixing-smb-t...

Yesterday I rode 45 miles and today my legs are lead. Crumbs.

@arielsalminen.com I'm looking at building a pwa in the near future. Just wondered if you had a timeline for prod? No rush I'm just scouting options. Thanks 🙏

I like miniflux as a rss reader, it's simple, has a pwa and links me to the post so I can read it as the author intended

Happy 1767225600! 🤓

Maybe I'm getting old (actually there's no maybe about that) but with VISAs wanting years of social media history and Australia banning it outright for kids I am even more hopeful for a return to the humble niche hobby forum 😍

All I want for Christmas is for bluesky to keep me logged in 😥

Watched a friend absolutely crush it on stage. So cool watching a choir singing mashups of pop songs and musicals

Tested out my new very on brand socks

Testing

Kids have some seriously cool stuff to play on these days. Although I think the leap of faith is a bit beyond my courage

Good ride in the forest today 🚴

I'll write a post on this soon but I just wanted to say that with AI I like using it to do fan out style brainstorming. I think that's fascinating. I don't like it for coding even though I have done it successfully. It feels a dull & soulless way to work. I hope that's not my future.

I believe in a world where any browser can create a web apk open-web-advocacy.org/es/blog/goog...

Well this looks like fun! I wonder if I can hook up a pi to a ssh tunnel and start playing 🤔 protohackers.com

Ai generated commit messages are not the one since they focus on the what - and we get that from the diff. Great commit messages succinctly explain the why. The motivations, considerations, aspirations, tribulations. It's messy human stuff which machines either miss or discard.

Dipping my toes into something new 😍 I'm a complete novice when it comes to hardware hacking, but I'm having a lot of fun figuring it all out. Amazing what these little things can do!

POV picking up side projects

This may be a stupid question but if not using a knife how are you supposed to open this?

Gemini: that's a really good point and gets to the heart of "search term" As an old git coming from an era where search was all about most accurate result with fewest words it's so odd to see modern approaches deliberately returning noise their output

Awesome day watching the final stage of the tour of Britain. Lucky to have this end on my doorstep in Cardiff!

Signs you're British 96: apologising after someone steps on your feet

Finally managed to remember the name of this CBBC gem youtu.be/cPUpwSSU15o

GPT wishes it could make graphs this good

If the Simpsons has taught me anything its that the best jobs come from CEO's that wear their shirts backwards

Tell me you're British without telling me you're british. Also I'm convinced these are a heinz dupe

While backing up photos from the cloud I made a spreadsheet to keep track of things. Part of my workflow involved counting photos so for fun I made a graph from it. Looks like I take around 150 photos on average and 2022 Q4 seemed like a good time! 📷

Recently discovered devtoolstips.org . Shows how to do things in each dev tool like viewing the a11y tree for example. Also it's built with 11ty!

Bsky holding your data ransom until you give them more. Awful UX and data handling. Always question the value of your data, where & how it's stored because if not, one day it can be taken away from you. Always favour physical media and open formats over anything else.

Whenever I need advice on something I've written I always go to @jess.darn.es. If anyone is looking for a writer I can highly recommend hiring her. She'll not only smash the brief but do it in a calm and considered way!

This place feels like echoing into /dev/null

You'll be old enough to vote at 16, drive at 17 but you'll have to wait until you're 18 to slide into those DMs

Beach ride ⛱️🩴🌊

Hot ride. Honestly how do people ride in 30+ degrees for fun?! Sneaky ship trying to hide from my camera

For the rest of the summer we can live inside the refrigerator

Started using Instagram PWA a few months ago. There's some missing features but it's much less of a battery hog than the app. See PWAs rock ✨
