Tesla's are Thermomix for tech bros.

Thermal cameras are also really handy for electronics repair and spotting invisible water leaks in ceilings.

It's up to you to make it cloudless, but Home Assistant is the only solution I know of out there that even allows this possibility. I refuse to use anything in my home that requires a third party app or cloud connection (aside from initial pairing so I can flash it with ESPHome or some other local-only firmware). Admittedly it complicates things, but the payoff is so worth it.

And it's so nice having zero dependence on the cloud. If the internet drops out, everything still works, including the mobile app.

I'm glad it's steady growth rather than an explosion in users. Much easier to let things evolve organically that way.

The economy is there to serve the people, not the other way around. If the economy requires people to suffer, maybe we need to rethink how parts of the economy work.

Shame they had to put a lid on it after so long... wheel shame.

It's been awesome putting the fediverse "Local" concept to good use. I think having multiple accounts makes sense for this alone, if you really enjoy browsing more than one particular instance.

How would you decide when a post should be hidden? Explicitly marked by the user? Upvoted or downvoted? Visited the link or comments? Just curious what the user experience should be like.

Between this and gutter oil (Google it, or actually maybe don't), it sure doesn't leave me with a great impression of China and hygiene.
