  Great, so you’re already halfway there! You may be right on the temp sensor and the gas detector would probably be spotty too. I was thinking you could glue some magnets to the knobs and use a hall effects sensor nearby to map their position, but that would take some tinkering and I personally haven’t done anything like that.

  But you mentioned you already have a camera pointed at it, you could add Frigate to Home Assistant and use object detection to notify you about events such as ‘knob turned’ or ‘panel glowing’ for flame detection or even just have it compare snapshots every x minutes and notify you of any change at all. Then you still always have the camera for visual backup as well.

  Definitely don’t have to take anything apart. If you can’t use a smart plug on the outlet, A zigbee temperature sensor mounted above or near the range would do the trick. There’s also methane/gas detectors.
  If you’ve never used Home Assistant, it’s super easy to get going and you can automate nearly everything, so getting phone notifications or persistent temp reminders would be a breeze. Let me know if you have questions about that part. I’m by no means an expert, but I’ve been slowly automating everything in my house and it’s been great.

  Every confession is a confession too, and they’ve come out and said it multiple times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coffee ☕⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe someone mentioned this, but I’m sure there’s a million ways to tackle this task through Home Assistant and a cheap sensor. That way you get passive notifications instead of having to actively check.

  Been feeling this lately. Not so worried about if my comment in the work chat would be considered weird. They all know I’m weird already, may as well say what my weird little brain wants to say.

  It looks pretty AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spicy spicy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually haven’t seen the remake/continuation (though I hear it was good and cancelled too soon), but the original with Scott Bakula was a great sci-fi series with a full run. It’s episodic, as all TV was then, so beyond the first and last episodes you can really watch them in any order. I believe the clip is from one of the first few episodes though.

  Transparency. The developer lied and then stopped crediting Claude.

  I made the mistake of buying 7. “It’s Civ, how bad can it be?” I literally forgot it existed until reading your comment. When I want to play Civ I pull out 6.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which faction you expect to be antagonist in some next Star Trek story?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is interesting, even without the benevolent AI, though that could be interesting as well. But what happens when The Federation runs into essentially another Federation? Do they combine and double their knowledge and territory or do they clash over differing ideals? There’s no way humans were the first species to say “hey, let’s work together,” but if they ran into, say, space capitalists, we could wind up being the USSR of a new galactic Cold War.

  That’s around when reddit really started getting astroturfed by right wing and ‘leftist’ boys and r/conspiracy became r/thedonald and r/the Donald was all over the front page all day every day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the two party system is just one big party⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which of your instincts was to read my reply before responding because I don’t see how anything you’ve said is relevant to anything I’ve said.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the two party system is just one big party⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is going on here? Can’t be an LLM because at least the LLMs responses are based somewhat on what they’re responding to. This reads more like a script. I’m getting deja vu to 2015.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the two party system is just one big party⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your skirting of my question and the demonstrably untrue claims you’ve made aside, yeah of course there are Dems that absolutely need to GTFO. Bad faith content like this is what keeps people from bothering to vote those people out.

  What in the Jill Stein bullshit is this? You honestly think shit would be just as bad if a dem was in the Whitehouse? Do you need some help off the toilet?

  Yep, and the “sour” layer lasts about half as long as the flavor in a Juicy Fruit.

  I do agree, but it’s too bad they ran both that game and the goodwill generated by it into the ground.
