What do they mean in the headline “after” #covid?

@npub17ha…t8va That link gives me “Page Unavailable”. Wrong link? Or maybe they already took the story down?

@npub1vgs…4tgk Until I zoomed in I thought this was one of those iconic shots of the Loch Ness Monster. 😜

Working on my latest #HomeAutomation project. An Inky Frame to display calendar, weather, and a bit of status. I have a silly number of big projects tied together making it work:
NextCloud (where my calendar lives and is accessible via caldav)
HomeAssistant for Lovelace dashboards
Calendar integration in HomeAssistant to pull the calendar from NextCloud and draw it on a Lovelace dashboard
Lovelace Kindle Screensaver which fetches a Lovelace dashboard and converts it to a PNG of a known dimension (600x448 in my case)
Some manky Python written by yours truly to fetch the image and display on the display.
Blog post coming some day, and a few bugs will follow in the thread behind this post.

A brilliant thread by Cory Doctorow again. This time on #enshitification of garage door openers.
I use an OpenGarage door Automator on my garage door. The firmware is open source and the device is like $35. It integrates trivially with #HomeAssistant. And it can’t be taken away by a company suddenly deciding it wants more money from me.

@npub19lt…qfjk Congrats on the change. Your summary of your first few days ends amusingly with:
“finding good food stalls near the office, and learning all about the unique set of challenges they face”
I had no idea you were so deep into food stalls. 😜

I just learned about https://learn.makemytestcount.org/ for positive #[0] tests thanks to #[1] ‘s newsletter. I haven’t had a positive test yet (hoping to keep doing prudent things like #[2] and keep avoiding it). But we are having to step up as the #[3] gives up and tries to find something else to work on.
