So Kristina won a Google Nest Hub from her work today. While there is no fucking way I'm plugging it in and letting Google spy on us, there's a security researcher who hacked one of these to boot Ubuntu: https://fredericb.info/2022/06/breaking-secure-boot-on-google-nest-hub-2nd-gen-to-run-ubuntu.html He popped all the code up on GitHub (https://github.com/frederic/chipicopwn) so I reckon I'll give that a go!

Yaaaay, the "Pokit Pro" multimeter I backed back at the end of 2019 finally arrived! I got the one that comes with the Arduino starter kit and holy crap is there a lot more stuff in it than I was expecting. 😮

I've been having entirely too much fun overhauling my dashboard in Grafana this weekend.

Woohoo, my order from battlefoam.com arrived! Going to be much less nerve-wracking trying to carefully put all my Warhammer Underworlds warbands away without breaking any of the pointy bits now. (Beanie had to have himself a good sniff of all the new smells).

Woot, replacement power supply arrived for my old Power Mac G4! Now I just need to get a molex extension cable so I can swap the pins around on it rather than directly on the new PSU so it fits what the G4 uses.

Aussie Broadband had a Black Friday deal for 6 months of 250/25 for the same price as our current 100/40 plan, so I figured I'd give it a shot. If we _do_ end up really noticing the decrease in upload speed, we can change back anyway. Speed test looks pretty nice! Also amusingly, our router doesn't have enough CPU power to do QoS at these speeds (SQM with OpenWRT). If I turn it on, even with the limit at 250Mbps, we don't get more than about 120Mbps down.

Ok, I think my Grafana home dashboard is pretty much finished. The power-related data now matches the colours that Tesla's own app uses, and the colour of the temperature changes as it gets hotter or colder!

Oh shit, I just discovered Grafana. I... may be here for some time.
