Project mention: I built an offline smart home, and why you should too | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-11

I am planning to do this soon(TM).
Probably starting with ESPHome to control my heat pumps over IR.
The remote works but I forget to turn it off when not in one of the rooms, and it can't do smarts like keeping temperatures in desired bounds.
An ESP32 running ESPHome with high power IR LED, a presence sensor, temperature sensor, and some pre-built library to control heat pumps[1]. it looks like it should be fairly simple to implement with Home assistant.
Now if I could only disable the beep from the heat pumps receiving commands.
I would like to do smarter lighting, but the lack of decent smart light switches that support local control and are also licenced for use in AU are a blocker there.

Project mention: What led you to use Linux as your daily driver? | /r/linuxquestions | 2023-12-07

I started with Linux in the late 90s. I switched to FreeBSD around 2013 and returned to Linux a couple of years ago. Io_uring was the main reason I had to come back. At first I ported the back tier of my code generator back to Linux and then I ported the middle tier from being POSIX based to Linux.

nanocobs

1 41 5.5 C++

A C99 implementation of the Consistent Overhead Byte Stuffing ("COBS") algorithm.
