Pro Tip for those of you in the UK and stuggling with heating oil prices in these difficult times. Buy 3D printers & print useful things out of ABS or ASA & heat your homes at the same time!
Just under 50 degrees radiating from this bad boy!

Haven't we all!
Or, even worse! πŸͺš
Then again, I actually used a hand hacksaw yesterday to cut down some aluminium profile that was way to small to handle on anything else!

Man, that's annoying. But, look on the bright side. You could have been using a jigsaw and have an edge that looks like some random radio wave. πŸ˜‚

Good luck. I'm finding it a real struggle. Short form socials have become so fragmented. Unless people have made a complete shift, activity still seems higher on X. I find myself checking BlueSky, Mastodon, X, Threads and it's getting to the point where I question the effort!

When I was an IT manager, iCloud was on my application blocklist. Caused so many issues it was beyond belief. Very, very poor.

No. This isn't one of those fancy (and crazy expensive) Skylight calendars. Nor is it one of those e-Ink picture frames that make your photos look like they are badly compressed GIFs from the 90's. It's an Amazon HD8 in a 3D printed picture frame mount.
Links to what I used are in the comments.

Feeling ever so slightly pathetic.
Helping out someone moving an ancient HTML website between hosts and struggled for over an hour to get PHPMailer working. As an act of desperation, I asked Gemini. Working 5 minutes later.
I'm a failure. Shoot me now. 😟

I've had this NSPanel lying around for ages. Never got round to pulling a neutral down to one of our light switch locations so I designed a compact desktop enclosure. The relay module has been removed and it's powered using 5 volts.

I've got an Echo Show 5 running Lineage and it's not a pleasant experience. Fully Kiosk frequently restarts due to webview lockups. Home Assistant dashboard button presses fail half the time. Wasn't really worth the effort involved.

Prototype of the first in a new 'picture frame' tablet wall mount range. This is an HONOR #TabX7. What tablet should I do next? Ignore the bowed edges. I missed out a clip point which pushed the frame out a bit. #homeautomation #3DPrinting

Came across this problem (again) this morning so thought I would do a quick video.

Check it out if your @bambulabglobal.bsky.social A1 or A1 Mini suddenly starts to produce crappy first layers.

This is fantastic news. Reolink cameras with POE are my favorite thing with Home Assistant. They are so reliable. I have Home Assistant provide the cameras to HomeKit. Can’t wait to see what comes next with the Open Home Foundation.
