    It's got buttons that turn lights on & off, so that's cool https://github.com/lmorchard/tessera

    So, I finally got one of these little ESP32 touchscreen widgets I ordered from AliExpress. I'm turning it into an LCARS wall panel for Home Assistant. Here's a screesaver I threw together for it. I blame @cruftbox since I forked his Tessera code as a base #iot #HomeAssistant

    I feel like this is turning into a #WoW Forever review blog post, but: Played again last night with the gamepad support turned on. Worked great. Was nice to just sit back on the couch and quest away. Since my gaming PC runs Sunshine for LAN streaming, I might try playing WoW from my jailbroken Nintendo Switch 1 that runs Moonlight

    Also, I haven't really liked being social in WoW for a very long time. Whenever I've played, it's as a solo RPG that happens to have spicy NPCs jumping around. But, playing WoW Forever last night, I actually had some fun getting a random party invite with some strangers to steamroll through a bunch of newbie quests. They weren't jerks and even had fun spamming some emotes and half-assed RP chat

    I guess the one saving grace, as I'm rifling through all my containers, none of them has a public-facing ssh port and nearly none of them have ssh at all
