A CT Yankee hellbent for glory, now a #retiredmoocher with wards @NickGreyhound1 and @MissyGreyhound. Living the tangerine dream one day at a time.

Roon Labs calls Roon "The audiophile player for music fanatics" There's something to that. With Roon, the jazz world is larger than without.

Dave is upgrading the Roon Server to simplify our installation and meet Roon recommendations. https://t.co/TsD67CtI2i

Dismal Wizard writes about the decision to transition from Ting Mobile to Mint Mobile and the onboarding experience with Mint. With the iPhone now up, we have iPhone visual voice mail again. First time with a NVMO! Yeah Mint. https://t.co/0zkopgzZvB

Desk litter had taken over the Dismal Wizard's desk top. Time to sort things out and clean up. Oh, and give a Bravo Zulu to GroveMade https://t.co/LE2gDaJHn6

Dismal Wizard has been looking for a way to keep all the lame user notes organized. I'm pretty much in the Apple galaxy but what if we moved to Linux? How would I bring along notes and calendars and stuff? ActivityPub can help with that. https://t.co/CaMRmfeCGU

EVSE are a source of Internet of Things torment. Words were said while updating the EVSE Firmware. Dismal Wizard sorts a colicky EVSE. https://t.co/gqjvy3mZc4

Back in 2017 I posted a FreeNAS forum post about using FreeNAS shares as Time Machine spool volumes. Continuing product development at IX Systems has made the post obsolete. Things are much easier in 2023! https://t.co/ONkQVbPnoS

This article explains the ATSC 3 network DVR rig set up to replace our original TabloTV ATSC 1 DVR. Why DIY with HDHomeRun and Channels DVR? Because we could. And Channels is getting better marks than TabloTV. https://t.co/nHXr0k8ldH

Dismal Manor Gang, anticipating the Twitter Apocalypse, created @[email protected]. After about 2 months of activity, the Gang has become taken with the joint and is pretty much ignoring Twitter. https://t.co/J3eW2tYvYv

Dismal Manor Gang uses a mix of electric and gas heating and cooling to keep Dismal Manor comfortable. This article explains what we have and how we use an Ecobee thermostat to manage our equipment for low cost operation. https://t.co/vZq0uvTE92

Home Bridge UniFi Protect is a slick piece of kit. Like all DIY home automation, it needs some occasional care and feeding. This post covers updating of Raspbian, core HomeBridge, plugins and node.js. https://t.co/gL7YGBgWgY

Recent Electrify America updates make it easy to charge your ID.4 at an Electrify America Charging Station. Wish I were aware of these before the Richmond road trip. https://t.co/7GzgVJ215H

Dismal Manor denizens awoke to 68 degrees with churning (heat pump running) indicated. Below 50 so burning (furnace on) expected. Ecobee was not set up correctly for dual fuel. There's a manual for that but not in the box. You have to ask! https://t.co/DB07OPOx6m

Those of us not blessed with Telsa vehicles are unable to take advantage of Tesla's voyage management tools and navigation. We have to make do with third party tools that are not quite as smoothly integrated but perfectly adequate. https://t.co/VabNVilnnQ

Dave, Missy, and Rocky took their first ID.4 road trip. WOW! ID.4 is a great interstate cruiser https://t.co/xVrWtt2OQ5

Millenium Falcon completed its first DC fast charge Saturday. It was not fun. EA and VW software in series made for an annoying first charge. https://t.co/RtEEL8uLWF

The Dismal Wizard ruminates on the disaster location and disaster communications problems. Some of the issues but no solutions.
