I am designing a smart alarm clock to replace the one in my phone, because I can turn off that alarm in my sleep, which isn't conductive to actually getting up on time.
Here's some of the features it will have:
- Home assistant integration! Trigger scenes, automations and more when alarms go off, or only make alarms go off if somebody is home
- Getting current time from ntp, changing automatically for DST etc.
- Automatic skipping of alarms on bank holidays (enter country and state during setup)
- Different schedules for different days of the week
- Play mp3 files as alarm sounds
- eInk screen to show the time
- Push notification to your phone 5 minutes after the alarm has been turned off, if notifications aren't interacted with, the alarm goes off again
- No snooze feature
- Ability to set skip days (eg don't wake me up next week since I won't be home)
- (potentially) ability to use as a bluetooth speaker
- (unlikely but would be cool) ability to use as an airplay speaker
Software will be open source, so even if I stop supporting it (which is unlikely since it'll be my alarm clock too) others can step in to keep their devices functioning.
If you're generally interested in a device like that (no "internet of shit" style comments please), what features would you like to have in it?

一日断食レビュー！人間の持つ力を感じられた日。
本日はむっちゃ個人的な話。 ひょんなことから一日断食してみたレビューでございます。 ワタシ、もともとずっと「プチ断食」は続けているのですよね。 かれこれ半年くらいは続けておりますかね。 「オートファジー」という言葉はご存知でしょうか？ 一日16時間何も食べずにいると、細胞が古い細胞を食べて健康になれる。という説でございます。うまい！ この説が正しいのかどうかはわかりませんが、他にも食事の回数を減らすのが良いという話はいろいろと聞いておりまして。 EXILEの関口メンディーさんは、椅子…おかか容疑者 (note（ノート）)
The video begins with a close-up view of the interior of a Cord 810 from 1936, showcasing the green dashboard and steering wheel. A hand is seen interacting with the car's controls, highlighting the vintage design. The scene transitions to an exterior view of the Cord 810, displaying its green paint and classic design, including the front grille and headlights, set against a residential backdrop. The video then shifts to a Chevrolet Corvair Monza GT from 1962, featuring a sleek, silver body with a modern design, including a prominent front grille and headlights. The Monza GT is shown in a garage setting, emphasizing its aerodynamic shape and contemporary styling. The video contrasts the vintage Cord 810 with the modern Corvair Monza GT, showcasing the evolution of automotive design over the decades.

I think the funding problem comes down to not having an open protocol for fiat transfer. we need new norms around support too, but it's currently too big an ask for most people in this space to use crypto or have a middleman when avoiding those are a big part of why we are here. we'd be fine with our own banks acting like fiat fedi servers. if I understand correctly, #WebMonetization is pursuing exactly this and I wish we could all rally around it for the good of the #SocialWeb.

The video demonstrates the process of parking a car next to another vehicle on the side of a road. It begins with a view of two cars, a white one and a black one, parked parallel to each other. The road is marked with a green bike lane, and the surrounding area is a park with trees and a grassy area. The text "РАВНЯЕМСЯ С АВТОМОБИЛЕМ" (Align with the car) appears, indicating the initial step of aligning the car with the other vehicle.
The video then shows a close-up of a steering wheel with the text "ВЫКРУЧИВАЕМ РУЛЬ ВПРАВО" (Turn the wheel to the right), demonstrating the action of turning the steering wheel to the right. The next frame shows the car's rearview mirror with the text "ПОКА В ЛЕВОМ ЗЕРКАЛЕ" (Until in the left mirror), indicating the driver should wait until the other car is visible in the left mirror.
The video continues with a close-up of the rear of the white car, showing the text "НЕ УВИДЕМ ОБЕ ФАРЫ АВТО" (We will not see both headlights of the car), emphasizing the importance of not seeing both headlights of the adjacent car. The final frames show the car reversing into the parking space, with the text "ВЫКРУЧИВАЕМ РУЛЬ ВЛЕВО" (Turn the wheel to the left), indicating the final step of turning the steering wheel to the left to complete the parking maneuver. The video concludes with the white car successfully parked next to the black car, with the text "И СДАЕМ НАЗАД" (And reverse) appearing on the screen.

Humans are so amazing, look at those faces, the personalities. If I wasn't one of them I would probably be terrified. I bet all the other animals are terrified when they see what we're like. Those little heart-breakers! 🤣 For some reason I feel like being good and eating my vegetables and helping with the chores. lol

Does it Make Sense to Upgrade a Prusa Mark 4S to a Core One?
One of the interesting things about Prusa’s FDM 3D printers is the availability of official upgrade kits, which allow you to combine bits off an older machine with those of the target machine to ideally save some money and not have an old machine gathering dust after the upgrade. While for a bedslinger-to-bedslinger upgrade this can make a lot of sense, the bedslinger to CoreXY Core One upgrade path is a bit more drastic. Recently the [Aurora Tech] channel had a look at which upgrade path makes the most sense, and in which scenario.
A big part of the comparison is the time and money spent compared to the print result, as you have effectively four options. Either you stick with the Mark 4S, get the DIY Core One (~8 hours of assembly time), get the preassembled Core One (more $$), or get the upgrade kit (also ~8 hours). There’s also the fifth option of getting the enclosure for the Mark 4S, but it costs about as much as the upgrade kit, so that doesn’t make a lot of logical sense.
In terms of print quality, it’s undeniable that the CoreXY motion system provides better results, with less ringing and better quality with tall prints, but unless you’re printing more than basic PLA and PETG, or care a lot about the faster print speeds of the CoreXY machine with large prints, the fully enclosed Core One is a bit overkill and sticking with the bedslinger may be the better choice. The long and short of it is that you have look at each option and consider what works best for your needs and your wallet.

A imagem é uma sequência de três quadrinhos que retratam uma conversa entre um adulto e uma criança. Na primeira cena, a criança, com cabelo azul e vestindo uma camiseta laranja e shorts azuis, está olhando para cima e dizendo: "As Crônicas têm temas difícilílimos, mas com humor!" Ao lado dela, há uma rã verde. Na segunda cena, o adulto, cujas pernas e sapatos são visíveis, está segurando um livro e responde: "E a leitura é agradabilíssima! É verdade?" A criança, ainda olhando para cima, responde com um sorriso: "Veríssimo!" Na terceira cena, a criança parece satisfeita com a resposta do adulto. A imagem é colorida e tem um estilo simples, com linhas grossas e personagens desenhados de forma minimalista. No canto inferior direito, há o nome do autor, Alexandre Beck, e a data "3919/21".
