Spent some time today automating the strobing on my LEGO sets. Required Python to access my BroadLink IR/RF controller to learn the IR and RF codes for each LED set, export the codes in base64, and setup the script in Home Assistant to send the codes every time their USB power bank is turned on.

Update, I’ve got my Davis weather station data flowing into Home Assistant every few seconds instead of every 5 minutes. I did an end-run around their cloud service and I’m intercepting the equipment’s wireless signal using a USB radio and a Raspberry Pi. Pushed to HA over MQTT. #homeautomation

Expanded our Twinkly lights to the mantle this year! First test pattern, had to channel K.I.T.T.

Bye bye Alexa, I’ve got a fully #selfhosted voice assistant! Whisper for speech-to-text, Llama 3.2 for the conversation agent, Kokoro-84M for text-to-speech, and #homeassistant connecting them all together behind their new Voice Preview device! All running on my home network on a mix of OS and GPUs

I wish they knew where the farmer lives that feeds the Orange Pig With a Wig. I suppose that's against the rules of war though... (unless you are the Orange Pig With a Wig). Sigh. Apologies to real Pigs all over the world - it's extremely insulting to you all.

The DEI conversation got exhausting because it kept getting trotted out by companies that didn't feel bad about who wasn't there. They felt bad about where they landed in the distribution. fallthrough.fm/65 #Diversity #TechCulture

In the dead of the night, Republicans tried to pass a shady FISA bill that lets the government continue to violate your rights without a warrant. Thankfully we defeated Speaker Johnson and the White House’s amateur attempt to jam it through without real debate. This overreach won't fly.
