Huh? I don't even know what "didn't support" would even mean . A CGI script isn't anything special. It's just "a thing that gets called with some environment variables, and prints out some text (on stdout

Absolutely awful! I'm very glad I didn't wire it straight into the pi but put a connector in the middle so I can replace it. It works and is silent to actuate but as you say the ergonomics are bad. I have to reach for it and it

It's been working reliably for me for a few weeks now, 1 or 2 messages a night. To be clear - I am not sending myself long emails! I am sending one or two words, like "TEMP PROB" or "MULCH" to jog my memory in the m

I did Chicago-SF on the Zephyr about 20 years ago. It was a nightmare disaster of a trip. Nearly all our movement was at night due to cargo scheduling. We ended up arriving over 48 hours late. To Amtrak's credit - we complained and the
