  Anyone know anything about electric radiators and Home Assistant? From a bit of research, it looks as though many of them are powered by the same board (Tuya) and seem to require a manufacturer's app (yuk!) and connection to some cloud (yuk!) to do smart things?! I have found a couple of Zigbee 3.0 enabled ones - I can't tell if they still have to chat to some 3rd party service to work well. Any advice appreciated, ta! #smarthome #homeassistant

  Kicking myself for not buying a crate of solar eclipse glasses and setting up a pop-up stall on the high street... apparently loads of people have been asking store staff for them. Including me (also kicking myself for not getting a single pair) 🫠

  A double eclipse here. Moon in front of the sun and cloud in front of the moon. Ah well. See you in 2081.

  #emfcamp I'm reliably informed that we have some banger entries for the #demoscene #domescene @FieldFX@mastodon.online planetarium show at 1830! https://www.emfcamp.org/schedule/2026/520-demoscene-planetarium-screening Running time: 15-20 minutes probably. With some extra chat about the entries and/or the demoscene. We're only allowed one sitting, but have another slot to show on Sunday 1400 EDIT: had a preview. Confirmed bangers what an amazing setup!

  I made some #Strudel starter cards to tuck around our #emfCamp EMOM tent. They're intended to give people a starting point for play, offering a spoonful of inspiration without getting too bogged down in detail. Feedback welcome and I can host the lot (12 of them so far) somewhere if anyone would like to download them for use or to improve them [as long as you share updates back!] #livecoding #algorave
