My latest pet #project: Replace the "free" #location sharing services with simple solution where one has full control of (a) data collection (b) data storage (c) data sharing/visualisation.
If you want to give this #GoogleLatitude like alternative a go, I'd be happy for any and all comments:
We use #sensibo sensors to #automate the #airconditioner at home. It worked fine for the first few weeks, but now the triggers seem to fail randomly. 🤔 I need to look into this. Also, I'd like to be able to control them locally rather than via their cloud and saw that there are some #opensource tools available to do just that. 😎

Ah tiens je n'avais pas encore pensé à faire une synthèse vocale des messages que je reçois sur Signal quand je suis en voiture. Maintenant c'est fait.
Allez zou y'a plus qu'à tester.
Feeling a bit sad about the “ruthlessly automate things” message from the last talk of day 1 at #DevRelCon - I feel like there’s certainly value in having advocates share content, but too much automation is going to reduce the developer-to-developer connection and community empathy spoken about at the start of the day.
@andypiper I've now gone a touch backwards on the "#automate everything" thing often favoured by "10X developers" and management. Similar to reducing dev to dev content I worry that automation can reduce people's [] understanding of the underlying actions, making people don't have to learn them, and risk running into trouble if it goes wrong and needs to be debugged/changed ... Unless adequate #documentation are in place, which they often aren't
[] - Except the person who wrote it
You usually want a separate virtual environment for your #python project. And it is quite annoying to activate it whenever you start your work on it.
Here is an example of how you can #automate the activation of your env with Makefile. This makes it possible to just run make go to start your project in your #venv automagically. You can also add a similar test target to run tests in the env you want by just running make tests. #makefile#development#automation#coding
The #Nextcloud upgrade process never works for me and I always end up having to walk through the manual upgrade process step-by-step. After yet another failed update, I decided it was time to #automate the process using #ansible.
