Lode Runner (Web Version) and "Scavenger" for X-Windows. I spent many an afternoon with our Apple IIc playing this game, good times.     #>


Upgrade Home Assistant for ZWave-JS. That wasn't a terrible process though I wouldn't call it fun either. Everything transitioned ok except for the FirstAlert ZWave Fire Detector. I'm thinking I might try and remove it from the network and re-add.

The only other pain is the websocket server wants to run on port 3000 but Grafana is already there so I just had to remap and point Home Assistant to the IP:3001 instead, which works fine.     #>


Firefox user.js by arkenfox. Tweaks some things to make your browser better. Do read the "implementation" wiki first though.     #>


Material Design Icons, free icons you can download and use.     #>


Animagraffs, wonderful moving illustrations about how things work... Check out a sample, How a Sewing Machine Works.     #>


x265-converter, will transcode your media files into x265 (takes way less space than the x264 most files are in these days).     #>


Making Home Assistant’s Presence Detection not so Binary. I like the idea of HA presence detection but on the other hand I know when I am home or not... Still neat to see how someone would do something like this.     #>


One Hit Wonderland, a youtube playlist. Some nostalgia in there... With the current state of not really albums and spotify and everything else will there still be one hit wonders?     #>


Mdadm Cheat Sheet. Bookmarked and saved since my NAS is running MDADM and it's been so long since I set it up I don't remember any of the commands...     #>


spotify-backup, been using this to capture my liked songs in case I ever drop Spotify I'll be able to go looking for them...     #>


MakerCase box maker. Feed it the params you want and it'll generate a template you can use to cut it out of your material.     #>


Draw.io Desktop, make diagrams simply. This is the desktop version of the draw.io website. Not quite Visio but a WAY better price (free).     #>


Droneception - How to create mind-bending drone photos. Does require work in a photo editor after but it's a neat idea.     #>


Huginn: An Open-Source, Self-Hosted IFTTT. I keep waffling back and forth on "I need this but I don't know what I'd use it for..." It's still very cool and at some point I suspect I'll find a good reason to install on the home server.     #>


LibriVox, Free public domain audiobooks; Read by volunteers from around the world. So great.     #>


Managing Your Money Like a Billionaire: Part 2 (and part 1). An interesting take on dealing with spare cash.     #>


s5cmd, gives you a better experience working with Amazon AWS S3 files.     #>


GPS Correlate and GPicSync. Two programs that will take a gps track file and add the GPS location to a set of images. Since clocks on regular digital cameras (not phone cameras) tend to drift pretty bad over time I've taken to taking a picture of my smart watch (which has the second hand displayed) with the camera so I can figure out what the offset is for the group of pictures.     #>
