I switched from Windows a few years ago, and I had the hardest time getting used to moving/maximizing/resizing windows on Mac.

Not sure if that's what you mean, but if so then "Rectangle" solved all my window management problems, so much so I bought the pro version almost immediately.

If you're talking about MacOS, I've been using Maccy for this

You'll find a lot of Italian chefs used julienned mozzarella/fior di latte, or batons, rather than big circular slices. There's no firm rule that I'm aware of!

That said, trying to grate fresh mozzarella, instead of low moisture mozzarella (like is generally used on non-Italian style pizzas), would likely leave you with a big wet smeary mess.

I make a dozen large pizzas a week (I do a weekly pizza night for our small cottage bakery) and I cut my fior di latte into strips, then let them dry out a bit, covered on a wire rack in the fridge overnight before using.

Last I checked, Kobo will be better specs (screen, water proofness and connectivity) for the money, and if you're technical it can be modified very heavily, including pretty easily user expandable storage.

Kindle will have a more seamless Amazon experience and maybe better support.

I have a Kobo Clara HD, and I love it to bits. Warm temperature backlight, and I have installed custom firmware on it which lets me use a different reader app, and run an SSH server on it so I can remotely transfer files etc.

Is there a reason you wouldn't want to just get a zigbee/zwave/wifi smart outlet switch?

Me too! ~~Unfortunately I believe they were bought by Intuit a while back, so I fully expect them to start sucking or disappear soon~~

Edit: Okay I think I was operating on faulty information/memory, or just bullshit. Disregard, sorry

Nah, I just put a relay and esp32 together and connected it alongside the garage door switch (super old school). It sits on top of the opener in a little enclosure. I originally controlled it with mqtt, but later reflashed the esp with esphome.

I've been thinking about this recently too!

I kind of have a very crude version of this, by simply mounting my garage door tilt sensor as high up on the door as I could. Since it would go horizontal along with the very first section of the door, it triggers as soon as the door is open about 1/5 of the way.

Response isn't very fast, though, so if I wanted more precise control I was thinking about building 3 ESP distance/ultrasonic sensors mounted to the ceiling pointed downwards, one at the end of the track, one about 1/4 of the way from the end of the track, and one at the start (where the top of the door stops when it's completely open).

So the sensors would detect in order of sensors triggered, "closed -> cracked -> slightly open/ing -> open".

Tracking the previous state of the door in a variable would let me know the direction the door is moving as the sensors get triggered too.

I was going to suggest this too. A magnetic white board on a conspicuous wall in a common space. It's what my wife and I use for her cottage food business. Whiteboard marker, post-its, or notes affixed by magnets.

Thank you for this post; there's a lot of this that I didn't know, and I've always had a vague anti-PETA sentiment without really knowing why.

I have both (they both can coexist peacefully on the same library). I use jellyfin for any watching on my phone or computer.

However, where jellyfin still really kind of falls apart is when casting to my Chromecast. Controls don't work, subtitles are unpredictable or missing, and it's just generally a mess.

So I use Plex for casting, and jellyfin for everything else. I bought a Plex lifetime pass ages ago, so it's an easy call to just have them both running.

I've been trying to find suitable brake pads for these brakes on my bike; Kool stop and swiss stop have both been recommended as brands, but i can't figure out which actual pads to buy.

I'm not picky, and mostly ride in dry conditions, just want to make sure I buy something that i can mount on my bike and will work!

I make Al taglio inspired pizzas for my wife's cottage food bakery. Still refining the dough and process but we've been happy with the results!
