There is also Vagrant which lets you specify VM specs, but also lets you install software in the VMs automatically. It also works for other VM software then just Virtualbox.

While true regarding open source vs closed course. The risks are quite large for patients. For example, a few years ago there was a company called Second Sight that made artificial eyes so blind people could partially see again. Then the company discontinued the product and now they are stuck with an unsupported surgically implanted device that they rely heavily on but can break any time. It’s pretty risky to have something implanted if you don’t know if the company will be around in a decade or so.

This is definitely an older one, but I would like to add Cow & Chicken! Some of that stuff was pretty wild!

It seems impossible to log in right now. Emails with the verification code (valid for ten minutes) take many hours to arrive…

Sort of. I wear a camera while cycling because there are a lot of angry people in cars that have some weird hatred towards people using a bicycle.

I only have the one ZBT-1 at the moment, but like you I was also thinking about getting a second for Thread (though in the form of a HA Yellow). There’s this bit in the documentation for the Yellow about multiprotocol support and one of the things is that it’s better to have a second wireless chip in some cases which I take to mean that you can have multiple ZBT-1, one for Zigbee and one for Thread.

For large networks it is advisable to add a second wireless chip. This allows to run Zigbee and Thread each on a dedicated wireless chip and on separate channels.

Oh, I see. You fixed that one in 1.2. That wasn’t there yet when I commented. :)

Yeah, works great now!

Cute! 😀

It mostly works. I think line 103 should maybe be:

os.remove(os.path.join(cdata, "teat.txt"))

So, “teat.txt” instead of “eat.txt”. I think this prevents the cat from ever getting happy since that line causes an error and it never reaches image.set_from_file(os.path.join(current_dir, "data/happy.png")) which is very sad!

Actually, you may just want to catch the error if the file happens to not exist. Like this:

    try:
        os.remove(os.path.join(cdata, "teat.txt"))
    except FileNotFoundError:
        pass
