translate the shopping list into a kroger cart

I’ve always had this idea for an app. Most all major grocery stores publish their sales online. I’ve always thought it would be cool if you could have an app that imported these published sales, matched that up with your grocery list, and even gave you a route from store to store so you could efficiently shop. I’m pretty sure my lady friend isn’t the only person that shops based on good sales.

I just ran across this. It might be of interest in conjunction with Mealie: github.com/GerardPolloRebozado/social-to-mealie

I collect recipes that are out of my wheelhouse or a variant of what I already consume because I like trying new things. Go out to the garden, pick some fresh herbs, and produce to accompany said dish. As far as mass importing recipes, I’d get too overwhelmed and probably not use 3/4 of them. I also add my own variations on a theme. One of my go to, quick eggplant sides is to take slices of eggplant, egg wash and planko, a layer of parm, slices of tomatoes on top the eggplant, more parm, moz, fresh cracked sea salt and pepper corn, a spritz of evoo, and bake in the oven. So good!

Maybe I will at some point?

As far as tags, I haven’t run across any miss-tagging. That’s usually pretty straight forward. I have had some lyrics that didn’t apply to the song, that got imported, but that’s separate from beets. When it comes to importing and embedding lyrics, I found MusicBee to be quite efficient. Takes a very long while for large collections, but it works.

Haha! I didn’t notice who I was chatting with. Have you mastered automation yet?

That must be a regional thing. I run Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust and I didn’t have to provide any ID. Scanning down through the thread, it seems hit or miss as to whether companies require ID or not.

Hey bro, did you ever get Cloudflare going, or did you decide on another route?

I’m sure you are being inundated with suggestions, so I figured I’d add to the work load. /s

I’ve always found The Linux Upskill Challenge a good starting point for newcomers. Covers pretty much all the basics in easily digestible chapters. Not sure if you’re looking for anything like that, but there it is.

What a flippin’ moron he was…both of them actually.

Longevity, like a lot of things, has it’s positives and it’s negatives. It’s been a pretty decent ride even tho I was forced to ride the train. ;)

Well, that was super cool of him. You don’t get a lot of mail carriers that really give a shit.

At this point, I would treat it as a failing drive and have a solid back up of the data.

The weird part is the sda device stops showing unless I turn the PC off and take the sata cables from it and restart the PC

That is the weird part. Almost like some intermittent power or connection glitch. Is this an internal drive or external in an enclosure? When you say the ‘sda stops showing’ does it disappear completely from lsblk? Does the drive have any SMART capabilities?

RIAA: Recording Industry Association of America

All you really need to know is they are a bunch of self serving pricks.

Our lives went separate ways and I got caught up in other things. That was 28+ years ago. Lots of water under the bridge.

Some of it’s magic, and some of it’s tragic, but I’ve had a good life all the way.

I keep everything in the main library Artist/Album/etc. Reason being, the software we used at the time was playlist and script driven. So you’d have something like: 'play 5 songs from the top 50 set list - play 3 songs from the commercial set list - play bumper and station id - play shoutout from random Indie band - play 5 from secondary set list - etc. So, at the time it didn’t make sense for me to segregate the Indie from the commercial. We played commercial cuts obviously for those familiar with them, but introduced Indie bands and promoted them for the most part. It was a shit load of fun really. Then the RIAA screwed everything up levying fees on internet radio that weren’t even required for terra radio. We had to pay $.5 per song, per listener, which doesn’t seem like a lot but when you figure up how many 3:00 minute songs fit into an hour and you have several thousand people tuned in daily from all over the world, it started to become some real money. Then we went to Washington to plead our case in front of a commission headed up by Senator Leahy. In the end a lot of us disbanded because we were doing this as a work of love for music and the Indie bands, and just couldn’t cut the fees on top of ASCAP/SESAC/SOCAN/BMI licensing. It was fun for a while tho. I’ve had a lifelong love affair with music.

I also have a lot of local independent albums that are just not likely to get tagged anyway

I feel your pain. I have a lot of Indie stuff from where I used to run a legit, licensed, internet radio station back in the pre-Napster days. A lot coming from the now defunct MP3.com and Bandcamp. Some of which is a bit obscure. For those, I had to tag them manually.

But it could have been different

It should have been different, but we are shortsighted, greedy, with an overly inflated sense of self importance, and enamored with the shiny. It may sound defeatist, but I gave up trying to save the world back in the 60s when I came to the sobering yet liberating realization that 1) The world doesn’t want to be saved. 2) At best I can only try to influence a few people around me, relatively speaking, and in turn hopefully they do the same. I vote, go protest, do call and writing campaigns, but at the end of the day, I am but one man hoping that America does the right thing…which we rarely do.

My logs, including fail2ban, are quiet and boring.

Every once in a while, I’ll tail my f2b logs, almost half heartily hoping I find an anomaly. But, no…it’s a snoozefest. pFsense out there on the edge, just doing it’s job.

Nah…you’re good.

Ooops! Well at least the link was helpful to ZebraGoose

When I ran Crowdsec, I thought it was a great piece of software, and a very decent free tier. I didn’t have any real complaints other that there was not a way, at the time that I knew of, to have the UI selfhosted. I think now someone has created a selfhostable user front end to it, but I haven’t dabbled in that.

I think this gent posted this a week or so ago.

Fingers crossed.

I’m an expert at nothing, but I’m going to guess and watch the thread: Power/Under voltage or SD corruption. I’m favoring the latter.

Reason being, the logs are pretty normal. I don’t see anything that would portend a crash. So it could be that when the RPi crashes requiring you to pull the plug, it hasn’t had a chance to write that to the logs. I know, back in my RPi days, I had a lot of issues with SD corruption.

Well, your efforts are to be commended. I will say, that since you arrived, I’ve seen more interesting things posted here. People seem a bit more relaxed. I don’t know if that is coincidence or if there are exterior forces influencing that, but keep up the good work.

I wish you would have posted this about a month ago. LOL I’m still going to have to check it out. I love weather.

Wow! I’m impressed with our new overlord(s). You hit the ground running. You need some volunteers.

There certainly seems to be a lot of slate at 104 Davidsons Mill Road, North Brunswick, NJ 08902

AI isn’t a silver bullet. It (sometimes) is another tool in the toolbox.

I would fully agree with that statement.

Ever raise cats? They’re work!!!

It was really never the work involved in raising a child. It was what I would be raising a child in. At the time Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missile Crisis, the very real threat of global thermonuclear detonation, Nam, the violence and civil unrest of the 60s into the 70s and 80s, to name a few. It has done nothing but escalate.

Interesting. Never heard of it. I’ll have to do some reading.
