  • The entire family was in on it. They spent exorbitant amounts of money trying to get away from him, three times, and he mercilessly tracked them down across the globe, casually dispatching away the hitmen they sent after him

  • Not the punchline I wanted, but perhaps the one we all needed. Perhaps.

    (I still prefer the original punchline)

  • Stuck on Awesome - all my custom Lua bindings and integrations I've built over the last decade are there

    Looking for a wayland successor so I can jump :'(

  • Aha! But a brick is only as strong as its bonds to its neighboring bricks, and it is inevitable that if one brick falls, so shall the others. So sayeth the almighty brick!

  • Life and Death. Yin and Yang. Who are we to scrape the sky as we scrape the sewers. Is one brick not only as strong as the one next to it?

  • "Every day is hell, but take time to enjoy the small moments of joy it offers" I think is a better message

  • "Who needs beta testers when the world is your beta tester!"

    Microsoft, circa 2020, probably

  • I'm from the UK/Germany. The dollar is a worldwide currency with far reaching impact

    Germany had the same financial crisis around that time with a 70 Mrd € bailout as I'm sure you remember

  • All part of the fun!

  • Real talk: you will never have the time. There's a 101 other things I should absolutely be doing but am not. I think just jump in, see where your interest takes you, and see how your life schedule evolves around it

  • Any. If it happened under Obama, it will most certainly happen under Trump

  • I mean, the housing bubble burst and the government pulled 7 trillion out of its arse and handed it back to bankers, doubling the cost of current living from the knock-on inflation. Life went on, and not a single banker (except maybe some lackey in Iceland) was punished. The Rich got exceedingly wealthy after the crisis.

    This time: the government will pull 50 trillion from its arse and hand it back to investors. Life will go on, no one will be punished, the cost of living will be a few times higher than what it is now, and the rich will get richer.

    My interpretation: the big investors fully expect the bubble to burst and hope to win from the fallout/bailout. It's win-win for them.

  • You can get them much cheaper than that on AliExpress hehe, though you might pay twice for quality. And yep you can wire them straight into each other, no pull-ups or nothing!

    Caveats:

    • I got the LD2410s variant because I think it's the only one that actually operates at 3v3, but unfortunately it's not quite supported by ESPhome yet so I've been having issues getting it to do anything with HA. Methinks stick with 5V versions for now and use a voltage regulator for the GPIO since the ESP32 is not 5v tolerant for GPIO inputs (or: use a Raspberry Pi which can handle anything).
    • Do not use the brand new spanking ESP32C6 for that sweet sweet BLE and Zigbee functionality, because despite the arduino framework saying they support it in practice you'll have to default to using the idf-esp framework, which isn't a huge issue but does seem to throw me stranger errors.
  • Did you know that the LD2410 can be wired directly into an ESP32 or equivalent because it operates at the 3V3 level and has an RTC GPIO that can be used as a wakeup pin? This is a huge upgrade from the LTR5-series of light sensing chips which all use the I2C protocol, because those need a UART chip on the device to handle the clock signal with a 5V open drain, despite being an easier 2-wire implementation. The send protocol of I2C slave devices are much simpler than the 1-wire or Dallas protocol used for multiplexing sensors, and relies on sending information bits in 60microsecond intervals when the clock bit is high, this ensures....
