Here's a short video about my cloudless, portable, small, low-resource "smart thermostat".

@stefano if you don't already have something in mind, this might make a very interesting conference talk. We've already had a FreeBSD Fridge. I think a privacy first NetBSD thermostat would be well received.
Here is a link to the FreeBSD Fridge from 2024 BSDCan. It is available on the SDF Peertube instance Toobnix.org: -

@stefano It's not that special to be honest but it's cool to have anyway!

@stefano I wish I could find the HN comment by the Honeywell engineer that talks about like 6 different safety features none of the open source DIY thermostats have but I cannot seem to find it anymore. Stuff like
- it needs to lock out instead of continuing to try to start the gas heat so you don't flood the house with gas if the ignition is faulty
- it needs to automatically turn on the heat no matter what if if gets too cold
- it needs a mechanical safety feature to shut itself off if the heat gets stuck on
etc etc -

@stefano I wonder if this is perhaps a fundamental difference in design between some of the EU and US equipment.
Maybe it's only older equipment in the US that doesn't do this and Honeywell had to build it into the thermostat to cover themselves legally? -

@stefano For sure, it's fun! I have been putting these kind of no-cloud things all over the house lately :). This is my main thermostat for the house https://diyless.com/product/opentherm-thermostat3

@kenobit la buona notizia è che comunque anche se decidi di non ripararlo e di comprarne invece uno "nuovo" il mercato del second hand è sterminato. Per me la tecnologia nuova da scaffale non esiste praticamente più se non in rarissimi casi in cui magari voglio la console nuova appena uscita o qualcosa di simile, veramente una volta ogni molti molti anni. Per me comprare usato ha un grande valore a livello di sostenibilità.

40 anni fa scoppiò il più grande scandalo alimentare (a mia memoria) italiano. A qualcosa è servito. Ma meglio non dirlo ai 23 morti e 150 intossicati (alcuni dei quali ne portano ancora il segno) che non vennero neppure risarciti.

Ravenna: se i medici non fanno i carcerieri
@anarchia
di Vito Totire (*). Con due immagini del mix odio-bugie contro chi disobbedisce al razzismo di Stato. Basta “caccia alle streghe”… La storia si ripete: pare che il tribunale di Ravenna abbia ritenuto giusto sanzionare i medici dell’ospedale accusati di...https://www.rivoluzioneanarchica.it/ravenna-se-i-medici-non-fanno-i-carcerieri/
