Home Hardware, Part 2: Width Matters (opens on the source site)
We’re back! Not with rework. This time we’re talking about impedance and review. Apparently I can get into a heated argument about a board before it even gets here. In part one, I wrote about using Codex to design my own hardware because I’m sick of Control4, Savant, and the rest of that shit. The useful part wasn’t one-shotting a PCB. It was having the agent work through datasheets, compare parts, and check the design. Then I had to notice that the connectors were facing the wrong fucking way. There was more to review. Which board are we arguing about? I was talking through the Sensor Hub’s…
Home Hardware, Part 1: My Control4 Revenge Arc (opens on the source site)
Fuck1 it, we’re doing consumer hardware for ourselves now and getting fucked by economies of scale, I guess. This all started with me buying some Olimex Bluetooth proxies for Home Assistant. Then I started looking at the components and wondering if I could get better range. Now I’m designing boards, displays, and enclosures, and emailing manufacturers because their bezels are enormous. I’ve ordered the first two boards: a Bluetooth sensor hub and a little maintenance display. I’ve been working on this in Codex, and this post is going to go through what it was good at, where it got stuck or…

A common approach is a two-tower model: a user tower encodes the user, an item tower encodes candidate Pins, and approximate nearest neighbor search retrieves Pins close to the user embedding. But Pinterest users often have multiple…

Two nasty surprises in Home Assistant's config (opens on the source site)
Last year, I motorized the rolling shutters on the southern façade of my apartment. My idea was to manage them via Home Assistant. I had a couple of automations in mind: In the evening, roll down the shutters of my bedroomIn the morning:If it’s too hot outside, roll down all shuttersIf it’s too cold outside, roll down all shuttersIn other cases, roll up all shutters but my bedroom’s Living in France, I added the official Météo France integration.

How I Built Monitoring for My Home Solar System — And Why You Might Need It Too (opens on the source site)
Svitgrid dashboard: real-time power flow from PV to battery, home, and grid A few months into living with my home solar installation, I realized the apps shipped by inverter manufacturers were, to put it politely, unloved. Menus that read like Modbus register dumps. Graphs that took ten seconds to load. No clean way to share access with my family without handing out a password. So I started building my own — and that side project turned into Svitgrid, a solar monitoring platform that now ships on iOS, Android, and the web. This post is the story of how Svitgrid came together, the…

Network booted, home initialized (opens on the source site)
I had a lot of fun writing blog posts in the past about my home lab and some of my personal infrastructure so I thought I would do the same as we built out our office. Much like moving into a new place, the first thing I always plan to have setup on move-in day is internet. We did the same with our office as well. Before we even had any real furniture, we made sure that we had a network connection. You may recognize that furniture from the garage. For the office I really wanted our network infrastructure to be off-the-charts good. Everyone knows shitty internet is a productivity killer. Since…
Home streaming my games in 4K (opens on the source site)
I have two 4K TVs at home, one in the bedroom and one in my living room. Both have consoles attached. One has a PS4 Pro and one has a Nintendo Switch and both are great. However, I also have a gaming PC in my office, which is quite powerful compared to any home console Mine is equipped with a RTX 2080 TI GPU, and a 9900K processor, so it can play pretty much any new game at 4K with a solid 60 fps on high settings.
Quest for the Lost Home Server (opens on the source site)
Today I lost access to my home server. As I described in a previous post I depend heavily on the server to fetch my emails, as a file server, to synchronize files, for newsbeuter and irssi sessions and many other things. As no one was going to be in proximity of the server for the next few hours, my goal for today was to solve the problem remotely. The symptom was that my SSH connection attempts failed. The server also didn’t respond to pings. As the server is sitting at home behind a regular DSL connection it uses a dynamic IP address that is shuffled every 24 hours. So my first hunch was…
Building a Home Media Server with Docker Compose (opens on the source site)
I recently moved into a bigger condo which had a wall mount pre-installed in the bedroom for a TV, so I decided to take advantage of it and bought a second TV. Previously, I was using an Intel NUC attached to my TV and running LibreElec. If you’ve not heard of LibreElec, it’s a very cool minimal Linux OS that sets itself up to run Kodi. It is remarkably easy to set up, and even found and setup my obscure USB remote control automatically.
