The Aethereal Echo is complete now!
This was a fun project, which took me way more than I hoped.
The ultimate Ping machine pings the Internet, displays ping time and monitors WiFi.
Inside, ESP32 configured using an Access Point and captive portal allows setting IP addresses of monitored servers.

Soyalella is soy milk maker. Soyabell is IOT ESP32-based milk making cycle end notifier. 90% vibe coded with Gemini including ESP32WiFi library.
Does it really make sense to publish such code to Github when anyone can just ask for it?

GitHub - v01dma1n/Soyabell: Soyabell is an ESP32-based IoT device that listens for the specific "beep" frequency of a Soyabella milk maker and sends an SMS notification when your milk is ready.

Good advice. At this point it does not talk over Wi-Fi much but this is one of those not obvious things.

I noticed this 6 months ago; have they really not fixed it?
Is it actually rarer to discuss microcontrollers than old Spanish money?

I keep my filament in cerial boxes with dessicant and internal humidity does not exceed 35-40%. During the printout the filament is pulled throug a port in a box via tubing. So it is under control but still, the differnce between summer and winter printouts is shocking to me.

While I can't complain about lack of dust, the printer is in an enclosure. What do dust cause?

In dry winter air everything prints perfectly on my 3d printer. So, was the humidity the source of all the troubles?

Gemini rushes with explanation:
The "Why"
The text-to-speech engine is prioritizing the ISO 4217 currency code (ESP = Spanish Peseta) over the alphanumeric string. Since Pesetas were replaced by the Euro in 2002, the algorithm is definitely outdated contextually.

While I agree with you that most likely he has no clue about RPi, I believe that this overzealous decision was made by some security "expert".
