I did a quick search and a paper + some articles say that you need a lot of plants (10-15). Just a few only make a negligible difference.

I got a qingping monitor (with NDIR sensor) because of the price. It’s not open source though.

I have a somewhat small room. The sensor was mounted on an opposite wall so I’m not sure what could be causing this high reading besides me and my CPAP machine. I think it might be coming from the sump pump that’s a few floors below my room. I calibrated it last night outside and it set itself to ~400ppm. As I’m writing this the room has mostly settled back down to 770ppm. To be fair though, my room regularly does feel muggy and hard to concentrate in (less so with a door open), so I’m not entirely doubting this reading.

yeah. I think so, anyways.

insurance fraud!

probably to support devices that only work with it enabled

complimented very well while listening to “Grand Central” by Werner Tautz

I dunno the specific model, but it seems to be a Flir.

Sauce?

US government loan forgiveness 🤣

This is probably the #1 reason I started using qbit and now use it in my homelab’s docker container.

1337x.to was blocked for me today! Even though it doesn’t stream content. Feels like an “enshittification pincer” is happening right now.

I like flatpaks, kinda. If something is in the standard repo, I install it. If it’s a library or CLI tool, I add the repository. If it has simple build instructions, I build it. If all of those things are too complicated or they want me to run a script, I just install the flatpak.

Just use WHOIS protection (which should be free, but whatever).

I’m using Thunderbird. It’s convenient for having multiple inboxes and has a subjectively nice interface without much bloat on it. It has a calendar app which is good for planning too. For email, I have a custom domain+TLD plus an account at purelymail. If purelymail goes dicks up I’m not dead in the water.
