   I actually did set up a smart plug for my soldering iron in Home Assistant [1]. I set it up with a timer and presence detection (using my phone and watch) so that I don't leave it on by accident. After reading this thread, it sounds li

   So now they just need to set up a match that takes place in a Faraday cage, and check each player using a full-body scanner. I'd watch that!

   I've been thinking about this topic for a while. If I ever build any kind of language or framework, I would prioritize backwards compatibility and make sure I don't waste anyone's time with unnecessary changes or deprecations

    That sounds like an interesting idea. I like the idea of capturing all the text content I view on the internet and building a full-text search index. Would also be fun to play with NLP and machine learning. I run Tailscale on all my devices

    I used to use a browser extension that would track every page I visited and index everything. This was a few years ago, and I can't remember what it was called or why I stopped using it. I think I was paying something like $5/mo.
