  • Was at a bird sanctuary, approaching a blind, and there was this amazing blue kingfisher on a fence about a meter in front. I saw all of its spectacular colours, but I wasn’t ready with my camera at all, and it flew away a few moments after I arrived 😭

    I waited for a good thirty minutes, but it never came back (saw it at various other spots along the water, but way too far to get a good photo).








  • Still using my release edition 3DS here (modded to hell lol).

    I think a big part of the popularity is the portability. The whole folding family of devices from Nintendo naturally needs no case (the screen is protected), and it fits easily in pockets where the switch 1/2 doesn’t. Also it has a huge library of games that you can get for “”free””).

    As for the more recent popularity, I think with how much Nintendo is jacking up the price of the switch2 and games, of course some people will look to older hardware, especially if they never experienced it when it was new. I’ve been a diehard Nintendo guy since the GBC and N64, but I’m skipping the switch 2.







  • For zigbee dongles, take a look at the SLZB-06. I used a sonoff usb dongle at first (which was fine), but then switched to the slzb which works nicer and lets you run it independently from your home assistant machine over Ethernet (you can still use usb if you like though).

    I have like 50 ikea zigbee lights running off mine (plus the same amount of other zigbee stuff) and it works super stable with zigbee2mqtt.
