It's been literally moths since I've posted a picture of Krissy here, and that's just too darn long, so here she is with a guitar, yes, it's upside down but she is left-handed and also if it was good enough for Jimi Hendrix then it is good enough for her

This is one of those kinds of posts where your plan was to write about a thing, but it turned out your brain had completely different plans

Sometimes what's on your mind just jams itself to the front of your mental queue, plans be damned.

#Framework

This also goes towards people who might need to cross the US border – for example to attend conferences or business meetings, as is common in my line of work; and as is the case for this friend I was mentioning – even if they think they might not be at risk in the parts of the US they are visiting.

#Framework

Obviously only do this if it's safe for you! In fascistic regimes, or countries moving towards fascism, "antifa" is obviously politically charged, and it might get you discriminated against, or even facing state violence. And your personal safety is more important.

#Framework

I don't own a Framework, although I had been thinking of getting one before all of this came out to the surface. But over the weekend I was hanging out with a friend who does own one, and thinking that if the logo is becoming a fascistic icon, anyone who disagrees should explicitly counteract it.

I was thinking, maybe if you own a #Framework laptop, and you disagree with the whole Nazi bar "big tent", maybe it'd be good to put an antifa sticker on top of the logo.

After all, the opposite of fascism isn't neutrality, and neither it is centrism.

We've reached the first tipping point (99% probability even if we'd manage to keep the 1.5 degree target) This means coral reefs on any meaningful scale will be lost. Nearly a billion people and a quarter of all marine life depend on them.

The war is not over, however. Now we move to the European Council, where the issue is unresolved. We expect closed-door negotiations to engage in rhetorical arbitrage--claiming to support privacy by using word games and bespoke definitions--while in practice undermining it. Tedious and dangerous 3/

#HomeAssistant is pretty good.

It has some quirks, but it's not as much hassle as I feared. I had to edit 4 lines of YAML, but everything else I wanted was in the GUI.

Finally, switch to the #Matter standard paid off. I can keep devices shared with HomeKit, while having way better visibility and more features in Home Assistant.

For Signal, Chat Control is an existential threat. If we were *forced* to choose between building surveillance into our services or keeping our integrity, we would choose integrity & leave the market. We hope it never comes to this. 7/

I've got solar panels + 5kWh battery installed!

The battery makes the largest impact. I can charge during low-CO2 off-peak time and avoid the grid during the peak hours.

The #solar output I get is underwhelming (bad roof orientation), but the battery is going to pay for the system. I could have gotten just the battery!

@ChrisWere @uoou and myself finally got together to ramble our way into a finale of this iteration of our show. As always it is mostly us talking nonsense but, hopefully, entertainingly.
