By day, I work in SharePoint/Power Platform development.

For fun, I enjoy fiddling with my #aquarium, riding my #ebike, tinkering around with #HomeAssistant, playing #Factorio, going to #MetalShows, #Grilling, and reading about spaceships fighting.

We have five cats, which are henceforth referred to as The Goblins.

📍 Richmond, VA, US

Smarter Thermostat with Home Assistant I set up Home Assistant to automatically switch my thermostat between heating, cooling, or both based on weather forecasts, so it stops trying to heat the house on summer mornings or cool it on winter evenings. https://michaelharley.net/posts/2026/08/03/smarter-thermostat-with-home-assistant/ #HomeAssistant #HomeAutomation #Blaugust #Blaugust2026

The Zooz Motion Dimmer is the smart switch that does more, automatically. It combines a dimmer, motion sensor, and ambient light sensor in one device, so lights turn on only when someone is in the room and only when extra light is actually needed. Hey look at this new #Zooz device. Looks pretty cool!

Y'all! I have a dang flower in one of my 20 longs. I'm shocked. This tank is running fine. Animals seems healthy but I'm not really doing anything special. This makes me feel like this tank is exactly dialed in though if this plant is so happy it wants to flower! I think it's some sort of Buce but I've bought many randoms from /r/AquaSwap. https://michaelharley.net/photos/2026/07/27/ #Aquarium #Aquariums

@riverpunk@defcon.social The challenge for me is finding something my friends and family will actually join me on. We've landed on Signal. It's better than some others but I wish I could convince them to use XMPP with me (I'd self host snikket and invite them). Normies don't see the point though. Most have heard of Signal at least but even still, some just prefer their iMessage and just don't care about anything else.

@h3artbl33d@exquisite.social Yes, learned this lesson the hard way as well. my DNS stays on my Unifi controller and HomeAssistant stays on it's own hardware. Then, downtime on the proxmox host is less impactful for me.

One thing I've noticed since using Vivaldi as my daily driver is that I get more bot challenges. I presume this is because the Vivaldi tracker and add blocking features? Unsure. On the one hand, it makes me feel like it's working but on the other, it's annoying having to prove I'm not a robot. You're a robot!!

In the UK, privately owned e-scooters that are popular in cities around the world remain illegal to ride on public roads, while legal e-bikes must comply with regulations limiting motor assistance to 15.5 mph (25 km/h) and meet other technical requirements. 15?! Sheesh! My Aventon Aventure 2 will do 20 by throttle alone so it's illegal in the UK? :( Met police break their own record for seizing illegal e-bikes On my site: https://michaelharley.net/links/2026/07/26/met-police-break-their-own-record-for-seizing-illegal-e-bikes/ #eBikes

📺 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S1 (2022) I just finished Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1 I'm watching Star Trek in timeline chronological order so I finished the first two seasons of Star Trek Discovery then came straight to Star Trek Strange New Worlds season one. After watching Discovery for two seasons, which is very serious and big and heavy and OMG CONTROL IS GOING TO KILL ALL LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE, watching this crew bounce around doing random adventures felt... kind of goofy at first. But after a few episodes, I was into it and really enjoyed it. I especially enjoyed the Spock and T'Pring thru line. The season finale was really great. ★★★★½ 🔗 https://michaelharley.net/watching/2026/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-s1/ #TVMastodon #JustWatched

By day, I work in SharePoint/Power Platform development. For fun, I enjoy fiddling with my #aquarium, riding my #ebike, tinkering around with #HomeAssistant, playing #Factorio, going to #MetalShows, #Grilling, and reading about spaceships fighting. We have five cats, which are henceforth referred to as The Goblins. 📍 Richmond, VA, US

@temporal_spider@masto.ai The reason govee shows up is because it's on your local wifi network so there's a multicast group that's basically being advertised to. That's why it pops up automagically. The other one uses a different way (bluetooth) to communicate. As Jari says, I think there's probably a way to get it connected still but you gotta do a little extra.

I wish they'd really lean into the open source and open web like their users want. I saw someone say they had a fediverse instance but shut it down. That's crazy to me. Why not keep your own instance man?! What they're doing just doesn't make any sense. I'm ranting now but ugggghhhhhh.

You know... none of the shit that Firefox did before really pissed me off like them going back to twitter does. That might actually be the straw that does it.

FWIW, I use Porkbun and like them quite a lot. Previously, I've used Hover and GoDaddy. GoDaddy always felt like they're trying to make things as confusing as possible so they can trick you into paying for something you don't want or need. One of my favorites things about Porkbun is they offer API support to manage your domains which means you can use scripts or other automatons to manage things.

Yes I agree with this take. It's hard to find horror movies in the spirit of Haunting of Hill House. Just a good ole proper scary movie. I guess I prefer Possessions, Hauntings, Exorcisms, and Scary Nuns On my site: https://michaelharley.net/links/2026/07/17/i-guess-i-prefer-possessions-hauntings-exorcisms-and-scary-nuns/

I think one of the biggest benefits to teling BAs and Project Managers that they can write code is that it becomes obvious pretty quick that there's a lot more to writing code than just writing code.
