  • So poking around, here is what I have been thinking about.

    Multi-sensor - cabled

    • Adafruit Feather RP2040 Adalogger (RP2040, STEMMA QT, microSD, LiPo connector, USB-C)
    • Adafruit PCA9546 4-Channel STEMMA QT I2C Multiplexer (4 downstream STEMMA QT ports)
    • Adafruit SHT40 Temp/Humidity Breakout (STEMMA QT, ±0.2°C / ±1.8% RH)

    Single sensor - direct attached

    • Adafruit SHT45 Trinkey (USB Temp and Humidity Sensor with PTFE)

    or

    • Adafruit SHT41 Trinkey (USB Temperature and Humidity Sensor)

    available libraries should make coding this up fairly straightforward. I have not worked with adafruit h/w before, but definitely interested I doing so.


  • honestly, I have always had pretty decent experiences with non-oem lead-acid batteries. my local battery place has a decent supply and longevity is roughly the same as the oem ones (3-4 years). I have never had any issues (type or frequency) that were not also an issue with oem batteries.

    almost no UPS mfcr makes their own batteries, so if you strip off the labeling from the oem ones, you may even find an exact replacement.

    edit: another advantage of a local place is the core-return rebate and disposal of your old batteries.












  • You shouldn’t be getting downvoted.

    agreed. a tad snarky, but it was an honest opinion. lemmy will grow and communities will fill out.

    dumb idea here..

    one thing that may help are clients that allow community aggregation into meta communities. this would allow users to be presented with a themed superfeed of similar communities across many instances. easiest done at the client level (no protocol changes needed), but could be extended to communities using meta tags or moderator inclusion into meta communities with protocol help. protocol support would also allow meta communities to be presented via the web interface.

    perhaps this has already been done in some clients. if implemented thoughtfully it could be interesting and perhaps even useful.
