Thank you!

Not necessarily something that would get you into his music, but one of the coolest things I ever heard was when he was asked if he would still be able to play the Super Bowl halftime show in heavy rain, and he responded “can you make it rain harder?”

Again, I feel introversion is being conflated with social anxiety. I’m totally fine with and even enjoy being around people, I just need a lot of alone time to recharge my battery. Though people see my confidence in social situations and never believe I’m introverted.

Obviously a privileged position, but I wish I were.

Dude’s rock did what?

I actually kinda like how it feels to say.

Man, I have my diabetes under control now (6.0 A1C) but never stopped peeing all the time. I can’t remember the last night of sleep I got with less than a few bathroom visits. Didn’t help I had to get on a diuretic for my blood pressure.

It’s a paid product, but I’ve heard good things about Kagi.

“Good to know” doesn’t necessarily mean they’re happy to hear this. They’re just glad to be aware of it, possibly so they can make adjustments.

Same. I turn 40 next year, and remember my dad at that age, but still feel like a kid.

I’m thankful I’m dog sitting tomorrow so I have an excuse to keep my family time to a minimum.

I absolutely sing to my deaf cat.

I’m sure not everyone’s cup of tea, but I’ve been getting a kick out of Anti Meme lately.

There was a mention of Trump “blowing Bubba” in the latest Epstein files release.

I’m honestly not sure if the developer edition is required to make custom plugins, I got the Clarity Kit upgrade for the battery upgrade, which apparently also includes the developer edition. Probably worth reaching out to them for clarification.

As for my experience, their web UI for making private plugins basically lets you provide an API endpoint for data and an interface to paste in templates (using Liquid templating). So all of my logic is completely outside of the TRMNL system in a custom API I mostly vibe coded and am hosting on a cheap server, which effectively gave me infinite freedom to build whatever I wanted and just have TRMNL handle the UI. So you could really use whatever language you prefer and just return JSON to the TRMNL. Since the logic was decoupled, I also threw together a web version using the same API.

Here’s the API code if you’re curious!

I like it a lot! As a software developer that stares at LCD screens all work day, I’m really into e-ink/single-purpose tech outside of work. I found their UI framework docs for custom plugins a bit lacking, but eventually got everything working.

Nice! I used the Astronomy API for planet positions and the 7Timer API for astronomy weather conditions, I wonder if they’re using those as well.

It’s the TRMNL. I plan to share my plugin eventually too, but need to develop a few different layouts for different display options before I can submit it, so it’s just a private plugin for now.
