So, I’ve recently joined the rest of the world and created an account on Instagram. I haven’t posted anything there yet, but who knows? I may at some point. If you’d like to prepare yourself for that possibility, feel free to follow me at: instagram.com/trites_mike

Am I the only one who ever starts something over, rebuilds it from scratch, then ends up with something pretty similar to what I started with, but still somehow feels better about it when I’m done?

So, it seems that I get to do that thing that people are doing.

This Christmas, brought to you by our sponsors, @linusgsebastian and @LinusTech. My wife surprised me with a new LTT screwdriver and I’ve already put it to good use, assembling one of my kids’ new toys. Thanks to the LTT team for a great screwdriver!

Is there anyone who didn’t know this? He can’t seriously be this oblivious, or think the rest of us are.
Did you know Apple puts a secret 30% tax on everything you buy through their App Store?
I decided to update the complications on my Apple Watch to get more info out of them. I'm happy with the balance between information density & visual appeal, so I thought I would share. Blue labels indicate data from @home_assistant. Red labels are complications from other apps.

As a follow-up to my previous tweet about @home_assistant complications on my Apple Watch (teapawt.net/mike_trites/status/158…) I've posted the highly-requested tutorial so others can replicate what I've done: community.home-assistant.io/…

How do I know I’m killing it as a parent? My daughter just mistakenly referred to an elevator as a”turbolift”. #StarTrek

Looking for some help from the @home_assistant universe… I’m having an issue with my NMAP integration. It‘s not picking up anything that’s connected to my network through my wifi extender (TP-Link RE315) . Is there some configuration I need to change to make this work?
This has objectively changed my life for the better.

I’m not for or against switching to Daylight Savings Time. But I am a fan of logic and this man seems to be lacking. The argument that it will be too dark does not ignore that we already do it for 36 weeks. It simply considers that it is lighter in the morning during that time.
The argument that it will be took dark in the morning kids if we make #DaylightSavingTime permanent ignores the fact that we are already on it for 36 of the 52 weeks a year It’s time to #LockTheClock
Probably for the best. The last thing we need right now is someone assassinating Franz Ferdinand.
