    When I first heard about them, I thought they sounded useful. I’m a photographer, and one of the challenges is not always having a camera handy when you need it, so the idea of a readily available camera for taking photos of birds, sunsets, landscapes etc, and the ability to use them as ear phones etc sounded kinda neat. I spoke to some vision impaired folk at my local parkrun who use them to help identify what they’re looking at, or read things they can’t read etc. This was in the early days, when I was still a bit naive about where they would go. To me, they sounded like nifty technology.

    And then Meta cranked up the creepy spy factor, and people started doing really creepy things with them.

    It shouldn’t have surprised me, but it did…


  • As far as I’m aware, it’s client side only. It doesn’t stop content federating to the piefed instance, because other people can still see it. As for why you can see posts, but not comments from a blocked user, I’d test that on the default piefed web interface and see if it works the same there. If piefed default hides posts too, then it’s an issue with the app you’re using. If piefed default shows it, then it’s a question for the piefed dev!

    It’s home assistant showing air con integration, with a custom graph. The coloured solid lines are sensors around the house, the green band is the temperature range we try and keep the house. The two coloured dotted lines are outdoor sensors, so we can see how the external temperature is impacting the internal temps, and the grey dotted line is the the temp provided by a weather service for our suburb.

    This is an old z-wave 6 in 1 sensor that was brought out of retirement when we spun up home assistant again.

    It spikes even when not in direct sunlight, so I think it may just be past its prime. We’ve got plenty of others integrated, and a weather station in the back yard, so this one was more just a case of using a sensor we had laying around then needing to use it.


















  • No thanks, that idea can fuck right off. Disadvantaged minorities gain their rights by creating social friction. When you don’t have power, playing nice and just hoping one day the people in power will stop being awful doesn’t work. Every single human rights advancement for minority groups has come about because those groups agitated and fought for them.

    Fostering care and social bonds is also important for our mental health as the world gets more and more anti trans. But that’s a coping strategy, not a strategy to fix anything.
