I assume it's very similar to what Home Assistant's backing commercial entity Nabu Casa sells with the "Home Assistant Voice PE" device, which is also esp32-based. The code is open and uses the esphome framework so it's fairly easy to recreate on custom HW you have laying around.

Absolutely. This kind of list isn't the price to entry.

Toward the middle of your career you should have a reasonable understanding of roughly what's in all of those and why someone cared to write them down, and be able to know when to consult them. And you will know at least a few of them very well.

Watching some of the Netflix docs like the Formula 1 one or the Tour de France one is a good gateway drug into "sports watching". It turns out it's all just for the stories, and a bit for the game.

Setting up this wiki to collect and organize the massive amounts of information seems like an excellent idea.

A Trumpedia documenting the extent of the case, with cross-links and what not, could be one of the game-changing educational tools of the century.

If you figure out write rights and moderation.

I know we are not supposed to talk about karma (and therefore a downvote ironically may be appropriate on this comment), but I agree vote behaviour on HN lately shows a still-small but growing tendency toward suppressive downvoting.

This seems to happen generally for two reasons: Even a neutral comment is evaluated for what stance it most closely aligns with, and then downvoted to suppress the opposing view just in case. Or alternatively, a comment that appears low-key combative (but really isn't directly so) gets downvoted in an attempt to ensure harmony.

Both moves to me have "culture war vibes", and come from either adopting those habits or feeling very tired from strife.

I think it's increasingly easy to fall into either bracket, but let's not do that on HN! If a comment is generally polite enough, the only bar to meet is adding new information or new thought into a conversation. None of us come here to be pandered to, and getting challenged by viewpoints that force you to consider the corner cases of your own views is half the fun.
