   Mastodon is 100% the early days of social media all over. Some of you will already be familiar with this story.

   My weather station (a very nice Netatmo that has served very well) crapped out after nearly 10 years of excellent service. I asked for recommendations here for a new station that would play nicely with #HomeAssistant, and hopefully, also HomeKit. I received *many* recommendations, with Ecowitt (and the brands it manufactures for) taking the lead.

   A connection on here offered me their *unopened* Ecowitt weather station for a very generous price. It arrived yesterday, and I set it up, and it's already doing a great job. Works offline, talks to Home Assistant without any problems. I just need to do a couple of bits of configuration jiggery-pokery and it will pass data to HomeKit.

   This is very much how things were when I first joined Twitter in 2007. In spite of attempts at #enshittification of everything, the #fediverse is putting up a good fight.

   May your day online be as satisfying as mine was yesterday.

   Prompted to tell a go club story.

   My recprd: I got all the way to amateur 5k, which is like, basically nothing. But it did give me great joy. It is a beautiful and intricate game, not so penile as chess.

   I am starting to think that the whole Epstein thing is heavily overrated but not as we think it is.

   That whatever evidence there ever was it was all destroyed or sent to Israel before it blew. And silencing Epstein took care of all loose ends.

   Thus we will never get the full story.

   My reason for this is that I do not credit the democrats or the republics or the Jews enough to actually execute such master scheme.

   Everyone are too incompetent. Humans are humans and loose lips sinks ships.

   @LifeTimeCooking I worry about this.Some things that have been central in my life are permaculture, feminism, science, history, art.Mollison called permaculture "revolution disguised as gardening".The feminist saying "the personal is political" is part of my life story.My thesis is about storytelling climate science as a novel.I find Anzac stories profound. Beyond party politics, what to call politics & what to call ethics, stories, science, how to be a good human, is not always obvious to me.

   A old Sunday morning story.

   My wife: I need to get out of the house. (She’s been heads down on a project for the last 9 days.)

   Me: It's f*king cold out.

   Wife:Can we just drive somewhere?

   Me: Where did you have in mind?

   Wife: Target.

   Me: Oh, so you want to go shopping?

   Wife: What do you think get out of the house means when it's so damn cold?

   I don't think I've ever told this story.

   My grandfather was an appraiser and had to travel by car a lot through Pittsburgh. He was extremely frugal and wise with his money so he drove a beat up old shitbox.

   One day, two fine upstanding melanated individuals were looking to liberate some drivers stopped at the light of their belongings. One of them looked inside my grandfathers car and yelled to the other one "Sheit, this nigga poorer than you is!"
