My thoughts exactly. Node-RED is long overdue for a UI/UX overhaul, but it’s been around forever and is very well established with a lot of plugins.

I started using it for IoT ingestion, but now I use it for all sorts of things (mostly related to home automation).

That said, im also running n8n now due to the hype, and it is nice… but I dont see any differences that would make me move to it for most of what im automating.

Hummingbirds. I put a feeder out and I’ve been staring at that thing for days waiting to see a hummingbird.

That’s just Big Cute propaganda. The puppy-kitten industrial complex has brainwashed us all. Have you even considered that tarantulas and anglerfish might be the true standard of cuteness?

Nettle tea is delicious.

Counterfeit

It’s spelled correctly right there in the title.

I tried Grocy for a while, but eventually stopped. Data entry was a huge pain.

Using the iOS companion app to scan grocery items into the app resulted in data issues that prevented me updating the item in the web app later. The only recourse was to add the items by hand in the web app, but then go in to each one separately with the mobile app to register the barcode. This also resulted in losing the additional metadata about the products that the mobile app would automatically configure if you onboarded the items through the mobile app, as it was able to look up additional data online and prefill a lot of stuff.

At the end of the day, it was too much of a hassle. I do like the idea, and may come back to Grocy again, but for now I have to pass.

Yeah it's Traefik for me as well! Heavy docker user, of course - it's nice just tossing some labels into my Portainer stacks and letting Traefik figure it out. If I wasn't so invested with containers I'd be using nginx.

 

Every time a new update drops, my friends and I set up a server and play together.

We have some basic rules, like don’t touch each others factories. And we have strategies like building a shared rail system where we set up stations at our personal factories to trade manufactured items with each other.

Does anyone else do this kind of thing? If so, what rules do you play by, and what other things do you do in general, to make it fun in a multiplayer setting?
