My pi's are just an easy onramp for me to have a functional NAS, PIHole, and webcam security. Not at all the best, but they were cheap. If i WANTED the best or reliable, i'd actually buy real products.

I use a very basic system similar to this idea of running TODO.txt, but they are notecards i write every day. I sit them Infront of me and any timed tasks go onto the calendar. Outlook Calendar has notifications so those are my prompts for

A nice write up! Thanks for making it. I used to donate ever opportunity I could. I only stopped for medical reasons. I know there are a lot of companies that sell the blood, but it's still needed and can save a life.

I was just about to make a retractable light setup for my workshop. I hadn't thought of automating/motorizing it. A simple pull reel was my goto, but that doesn't work in this application. Amazing work very smart and looks li

I was getting consistent headaches at work, and attributed it to my coworkers being obnoxious. Then I brought in an air quality monitor, turns out my building had some serious ventilation issues, and there was not clean air at my desk.

How much of the thinking/feeling would be due to this microbiome? Is this how people develop mental illnesses? Such an interesting topic! I hope it gets the funding it needs!

I thought this article was going to be about organizing things in our digital lives. A lot of devices are pivoting to being "smart" but they aren't viewed as appliances. They need to just work, not be fancy. I have a lot of a

I sincerely don't think people care. Coca Cola doesn't care either. It was cheaper for them to create, and they can now use those funds for more dispersal of the ad it self. They are just trying to get people within the first 2 se
