Trail running, good beer, and a dumb golden retriever.
I've been running BirdCAGE for a while at home. It listens to my home security camera stream then uses very similar waveform analysis to identify the birds that it hears. Lovely to know who/what is singing around our house year around :) github.com/mmcc-xx/Bird...

From last time I test drove a car… I’d suggest the physical license requirement is because it’s easier to photocopy and throw it in the pile of paperwork they don’t properly manage or dispose of.

I am pretty sure they are too important to dispose of, though.

And he did the Bowie bits pretty well, I reckon. Dempsey did a surprisingly good Freddie Mercury vocal range too!

Rather different stage presence but we can forgive that part.

3. The Day You Come - Powderfinger
2. Bloodbuzz Ohio - The National
1. Gosh - Jamie xx

Not sure Gosh is actually my 3rd in the list but equal with about a dozen others so let’s get the lad up on the scoreboard.

And yes, this is the brute force way to doing this. Yes, we have conversations with our kids about this stuff. Yes, we supervise most of their use.

But sometimes you need to just flick a switch and move on!

This plugin (via HACS) did a great job of exposing my Unifi traffic rules to Apple Homekit, so we can toggle rules very quickly and easily. Quick taps to "disable streaming video for the kids" or "make the internet unusable for the kids" is very welcome in this household! github.com/sirkirby/ha-...
