As it skims within a cooee of Earth, our planet’s gravity will tug on it strongly enough to alter its spin, potentially trigger landslides and even asteroid quakes, and perhaps reveal what’s hidden beneath its surface. Two spacecraft – ESA’s RAMSES mission and NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX – plan to watch the encounter unfold in unprecedented detail.

And there was actual interesting science to put in the headline!

What tool to cut them off without damaging surroundings? Just a circular saw?

Cross-posted! (I kinda wish cross-posts shared comment threads.)

I used vuegraf to publish MQTT from my Emporia Vue, which OpenEVSE can natively consume. I’m running Mosquitto for my MQTT broker.

I’ve considered flashing my Vue with ESPHome, which people say would make this even easier, but haven’t yet.

What other details would be useful?

I learned Ansible for this purpose, so all the modified configs live in a git repo. I still get lazy and modify some things directly (looking at you Minecraft plugins) but a lot of it is pretty easy to set up via IaC.

Cool! How did you do the joints?

Sure if we can do both! But it seems like lots of easier options are still untapped in many places, like the sides of the rail right of way.

Does deleting the root post nuke the whole thread?

Cheap materials like pieces of the IKEA furniture my neighbors are throwing away?
