Smart home crap
I mean if you want to automate your lights off the exchange rate, this is how
- HomeAssistant - really enjoying having just the little touches round the house taken care of, like light white balance shifting through the day
- ESPhome - this framework has quite the learning curve but once you’re on it, you start applying it to all the projects in the house
Browser & bits
- Firefox
- Bitwarden
- ClearURLs - take tracking parameters off URLs and have them shorter (admittedly it’s not super reliable)
- Multi-account containers - I use this extension to sandbox my cookies and separate out the more poisonous trackers, hopefully
Books
Authors I’m currently enjoying:
- Peter F Hamilton
- Becky Chambers
- T Kingfisher
Food & Drink
