That's very cool, but just to point out: that's not JTAG, it's serial (UART).

JTAG is a much lower level protocol, typically used for hardware or low-level software debugging. Serial/UART gives you a command-line interface to the software that's running.

Using a JTAG interface is a lot more complicated. If you're interested in playing with it, check out OpenOCD.

There's a bunch of train video channels on YouTube (because, of course there are). I love throwing on something like [1] just as background while I'm working.

That's entirely the point. A NOR gate is functionally complete: you can build any logic gate out of just NOR gates.

I know there's already Imperfect Foods, which uses a route delivery model rather than traditional shipping. I haven't tried them, but I'm considering signing up.
Assuming you're running the full version with the supervisor and add-ons, I'd recommend the Home Assistant Google Drive Backup add-on[1]. You can set it up to take snapshots on whatever schedule you like and keep a rolling backup in the cloud.

Restoration is now part of the new setup workflow, so you'd just flash a new SD card with the base image, and upload a snapshot as you go through the setup process. Poof, everything's back the way it was.

You know Weather Underground is now owned by The Weather Company, the same parent as weather.com, right?
