That was an enjoyable read!
I’m David. I live in Tacoma, Washington. I do square foot gardening, home automation with Home Assistant, and have too many cats.
You think you saw me behind some ferns? You just might have!
That was an enjoyable read!
Don’t worry, I’m sure we can come up with a way to explode the sun much sooner than that.
Gotta get with the times, yo.
It’s a busy spring for me! This is year two in a new home, and I’ve started converting larger chunks of boring grass into wildlife gardens and raised beds. So far this year I’ve put together:
New herb garden - Thyme, oregeno, borage, chamomile, sage, you name it! Already Planted!
A small cornfield - currently growing crimson clover and lettuce greens.
A small squashfield more crimson clover! And getting the eventual companion beans going!
A small wildlife garden - sunflowers, more clover, blue hubbard squash, and scarlet runner beans. Food for critters (and also trap crops to keep em off the human food!)
A second raised bed (for square foot gardening) - Currently has little gem lettuce, red fire lettuce, oak fire mustard greens, carrots, turnips and moooooore~
I also got a small plastic greenhouse this year, so now I have TEN MILLION tomato babies. Hooray! The peppers I’m growing are not quite ready for transplanting yet, but they’ll get there.
Don’t sleep on the video walk through, it can be truly invaluable.
To be honest, would a spreadsheet not be a good use for this? There are FOSS asset trackers, but a simple .ods with a pictures column might serve you well. Are there additional features/conveniences you are looking for?
That’s the neat part: you don’t!
Okra sounds fun! I’m trying out corn, cucumbers, and ground cherries for the first time this year.
I had everything inside last year and it started getting a little crazy! I like your greenhouse poly offcut idea, I’ll have to check and see…
I’m growing my second generation of garlic, tomatoes, and jalapenos with seeds from last years harvest. The garlic is doing great which makes me very happy!
I’ve got my greenhouse control setup with fun statistics in Home Assistant.
It’s still getting dark early, so I can see it lit up from the house.
Sometimes I feel I’m standing in front of the window watching the plant babies a little too much.
It’s fairly well known in the Enterprise IT world; like others say, it does induce drinking.
If you have any kind of firewall on your network, you might make sure it’s not blocking that port with a rule. Here’s a couple screenshots from my setup in case that helps.
The config in NPM
The config in HA’s configuration.yaml
Try adding just the NPM IP and HA IP first, then add the docker internal network as well if you still have issues.
Once upon a time the plural of ‘wizard’ was ‘war’. Nowadays, I believe it’d be an argument of wizards…
A pizza stone can definitely help. You might also prebake the crust for a few minutes before adding sauce+toppings, it can help with soggy bottoms.
Pretty cool, I’m glad you got it working. I hope that’s the gold standard going forward - we should be able to open up, inspect, and even fix our own devices. That used to be the case for most electronics.
Soon, human. You cannot watch it forever.

Boy, that cat sure has egg on it’s face.
Furthermore, I consider that Nestle must be destroyed.
Hear hear.
Well, I’ve maintained my music collection from the olden days, and acquire new music as I discover I like it. I mostly have trash vaporwave tastes so I actually buy most of my music cheaply on bandcamp. My music collection isn’t massive like some peoples, but it’s a decent amount of GB. Mostly mp3, I’m not fancy enough for FLAC.
As for hosting the music, check out Navidrome. It’s a great subsonic compatible service that can run on your OS of choice. I use Symfonium on Android to access the library. It supports playlist syncing, offline caching, etc. etc.
