Check out Home Assistant. I use Home Assistant to control about 35 TP-Link Kasa devices via local control. Home Assistant supports both local and cloud control of Kasa devices.

I use a mix of ESPHome (using ESP8266 devices) and BLE sensors (feeding back through ESPHome ESP32 based gateways) to gather home air quality data.

Wow! Great project! Added to my to-do list.

A fun project I finished a few months ago was building a PiDP-11 kit: https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11

The creator did an amazing job on this kit and it looks great in my study!

I recently did technical deep dives on my late model Volvo XC90 and XC60. I was amazed to still see SuperH SH4 processors in use in various parts of the telematics system.

Great work on this! NANOG has a good thread going (as one can imagine...). Good post here: https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2019-July/102131.h...

A response I saw on the 44net mailing list:

  What's interesting about this is it was not an ARIN allocation,

  So, to the individuals listed in the blog, that I've excerpted
  below, what do you have to say about this?

I find it interesting how AMPR can sell these IPs vs leasing them.

The community (including myself) only learned of the sale when 44/8 reverse DNS lookups returned NXDOMAIN today. There was no consultation with the community. The decision was made in private by the four listed above.
