This is literally an orphan crushing machine story. 38 dogs were heroically saved after…checks notes…they encountered disaster on a freaking FOX HUNT run by humans?!
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!

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.
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.
food prep is love, food prep is life
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?
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.
As Principal, teaching Juniors should be like handing out a boon from your deity of choice. “Here, young one. Here is what you do, and why. Have an easily consumed meme to easily illustrate the concept.” Then you return to the ether, to watch with benevolent eyes.
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…
What would you recommend learning instead?
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.
We have also made small amounts of fire on Mars.
Ugh, I KNOW. All these people developing these amazing alternatives and I have to checks notes make an effort to degoogle myself for my own good. SIGH.
Like, even the UK.
