OpenScale works great and kind of does what you want. If you have an old Android phone laying around you can have it persistently connected to a cheap Bluetooth scale. Functional, but at a much have higher power cost than an ESP32 solution. Automated database exports to a local file (on the android device) and Syncthing can move your data around for analysis.

The good folks over at Gadgetbridge might have a solution too, although their list of supported scales looks pretty short.

You might also look into making a project like rmfakecloud to trick your Fitbit device into pushing data to a local server.

Not sure about home assistant though, I’ve never used it.

Nice work! Thanks for putting in this work and self promoting. I hope this continues to grow.

5, years, later…

Debian: You’re good bro, no updates today.

Or switch to NixOS 😉

Unbelievable. What would we do? Hand it over to a non-profit akin to the Linux Foundation so we can have a flourishing ecosystem of technologies sharing momentum while branching out into their own flavors and augmentations? All of that, for what! To serve a public good via most common piece of software used on a day to day basis? Madness!

That’s the beauty, it’s both

I’m more of a dust man, myself. It runs recursively so it’s easy to pinpoint the culprit.

I’ve heard that a lot of custom domains get filtered by tech giants. Have you experienced any problems like that? I agree it would be nice and self hosting it is pretty straightforward.

Like?

This offers no features over the embedded calendar in the mail app. Not even widgets.

What is an option then?

Tears of joy, no doubt

Thanks for the note on Ditaa. I didn’t know it existed but I love the idea of rendering bitmaps from ASCII, especially on the web. It’s like Mermaid but the original syntax is a diagram in and of itself!

Like the author writes:

There is a number of formats that are text-based (html, docbook, LaTeX, programming language comments), but when rendered by other software (browsers, interpreters, the javadoc tool etc), they can contain images as part of their content. If ditaa was intergrated with those tools (and I’m planning to do the javadoc bit myself soon), then you would have readable/editable diagrams within the text format itself, something that would make things much easier. ditaa syntax can currently be embedded to HTML.

Right, for a paper physics problem. Try telling someone to multiply their hand by -1.

The only thing I don’t like about this is the implication of a left hand rule for left hand threads, which makes my E&M physics brain sad

Oh that’s so cool! Thanks for the link.

When you say you host it live on Codeberg, do you mean something akin to GitHub pages? I didn’t know that existed

It’s mostly Mastodon. (Shoutout to @RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works for posting the link to FediDB)

I prefer Syncthing-fork for some more straightforward configuration. Mainly the three button options equating to “follow the run conditions, damnit”, “run damnit”, and “stop damnit”
