It could be a privacy risk, though, because by directly moving a URL (and all its parameters) to another profile, it might be easy to link them together on the server side. It’s not necessarily a problem, but it’s definitely important to be aware of, since one of the main uses of profiles is precisely isolation for privacy and security.
One nice thing about Ventoy is that you can still use the USB stick as a regular drive for other files — it doesn’t interfere with the ISOs you can boot from
Very interesting, I’ll definitely give it a try!
Another approach I recently discovered is an old but beautiful Unix-style tool for renaming files: vidir - edit a directory in your text editor. It’s part of the moreutils suite [1].
You get the list of filenames in your editor – edit them as you like, save, exit, and it renames the files. It uses whatever editor is set in your $EDITOR env var, so it doesn’t have to be vi/vim.
You can also pipe in a list of files, e.g. `find . -type f | vidir -`, to edit just the files you want - and you can even change paths (add, rename, remove directories) in the editor to move files around easily.
To try it quickly on macOS: `brew install moreutils`
Thanks a lot — that’s way more than I expected!
Would you mind sharing some tips on how to set that up? A code snippet or a link to the relevant docs would be super helpful.
I love that it’s a command line tool — I’ll try it soon.
I use OpenIn for this [1] (it’s paid, but a one-time purchase at a very reasonable price). It works with URLs too, supports “browser profiles”, and lets you create logic using JavaScript (e.g., do X if the filename contains Y, or do Z if a modifier key is pressed).
It works really well and even has the ability to “fix” what external apps have changed. I plan to use this on new Macs to reconstruct my app associations and rules.
I do wish the rules were defined in plain text files — sometimes it’s hard to follow the logic through the UI and the way it handles things.
Another comment mentions Hammerspoon (which I used in the past — it was very nice). Maybe I can rebuild part of my current setup with it.
Just tried. You can save the full response to a single file with one click, but it doesn’t include the original request.
I found an issue asking for the same feature: https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient/issues/1311
If you use a VSCode-based editor, a good alternative can be the "REST Client" extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.re...
I’ve been burned a few times by these clients — difficult backups, changing licensing/commercial terms, hard to version — so now I prefer a few simple .http files that I can version in Git and easily read, even if the extension disappears.
Their Raspberry Pi collection is so extensive, it's starting to look like a fruit stand!
Lol :D
Yes, it is possible to use Prompt Caching with your Batches API requests. However, because asynchronous batch requests can be processed concurrently and in any order, we cannot guarantee that requests in a batch will benefit from caching.

An alternative from the developer of Coolify. It’s no longer for sale, but the page mentions he’ll open-source it:
Funny, I realized within the first few minutes that I’m not interested in Rye, but I couldn’t stop watching because I loved the mechanical keystroke sounds so much. I don’t use a mechanical keyboard for various reasons (I tried), but those sounds…
(Not saying having them in the video for everyone is a good thing—I respect the fact that some people can find them annoying)
I studied the mechanism, and while it’s true that some tape must be wasted, I think there is room for improvement (with a different idea or even small changes, given that I have a Dymo that uses the same mechanism but wastes much less tape). I simply believe there aren’t enough incentives to research something that saves tape.
I have the Brother P-Touch CUBE PT-P300BT and “pwned” it (not really) some time ago. Using this code as a starting point [1], I set it up with a FastAPI backend serving an HTML+JS frontend on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. I connect to it using a browser, design the label, and it prints via Bluetooth. One of the first options I added to the interface is the “no feed” checkbox, which I use when I know I’ll print more than one label in sequence before cutting.
My idea is to add another endpoint to the API so that using Whisper or Siri, I can say, “Print Eggs and today’s date” or “Print Coffee in medium size.” I use something similar with an Alfred workflow, but voice commands would be nice in the kitchen.
I hate when someone talks about a project I’m interested in but doesn’t share any code. However, the entire thing is so ugly that I’ll never permit any other human being to see it. I’ll incorporate a Dead Man’s switch to delete everything or burn the Raspberry Pi, if needed.
Anyway, it’s all very simple once you realize that Fabric.js [2] handles 80% of the interface and functionalities on the frontend. Probably with Aider [3] and Claude Sonnet 3.5, you can make it during breakfast (or 7 years: I’m a dev, so I’m VERY bad at time estimations).

I’m sure it can be done with a normal camera and enough light, especially with the advancement of AI technologies in recent years. I haven’t had time to experiment, but if you have an iPhone, you can try this app [1] I installed yesterday to study its feasibility.
On the homepage, there is a video [2] explaining more as well, and their paper [3].

The “Vital Sign Detection & Healthcare”[1] section is very interesting, thank you! I am looking for a way to measure the heartbeat of a single person in a completely non-invasive manner (so without contact) and I see that it can be done with Wi-Fi (2019 Paper [2]). However, I’ve noticed that there are a lot of methods (video analysis, thermal camera, etc.), but they are hard to find as ready-made products at a reasonable price. The simplest solution is under-mattress sleep trackers, but unfortunately they are not an option for me.

I agree with you, especially regarding children and anyone who hasn’t explicitly made this choice, which is why I asked the question. The only thing is, I suspect we get scared by certain words, like “radar” and “microwaves”, and then we might spend all day with our heads next to a Wi-Fi router or a phone constantly downloading files on 4G.
For example: maybe the ESP32 transmitting the bed weight exposes us to more danger than the radar sensor (that can also be placed very far from the bed)? Maybe with our smartphones charging on the nightstand too.
I’m not a big fan of fear-based, illogical decisions. But, again, I understand perfectly.
A little feedback: I want to try it (the website makes it look very clear and promising!), but the installation page [1] scared me and I almost left. Then I looked at the first instructions and they were for installing Docker. I know the section is named “Prerequisites,” but I was expecting just the docker-compose and some documentation on vars, given that the only way to install it is with Docker. Even the “Installation Steps” start with mkdir, cd, curl, vi, only to say “use this docker-compose.” The prerequisites can be important for many people, and there are many ways to solve this (if you think it’s a problem).
One thing to remember: devs and tech-savvy people skip everything and look directly at the terminal commands/code. It’s the reason you should never insert the “don’ts” in your repository readme too high on the page: they will be the first things we’ll cut and paste :D
This is not a criticism; it seems you did a wonderful job. Just the feedback of one of many dummy experimenters that you might lose on that page :)
A little tangential, but are these things safe for humans? I have a couple of LD2410 devices and I’d like to use one of them with ESPHome in the bedroom. I did some research and they seem to be very low power and safe, but you know, before sleeping with a radar pointing at us all night long, I’m looking for as much feedback as possible.

You are right, but it’s not very difficult:
The trigger can be “Double-click Main Menubar” and the action “Show / Hide Menu Bar Icons left of the BTT Icon.”
You can even add actions to hide them again after a certain number of seconds or minutes.
(It’s only a partial replication because Bartender can show you the additional icons in a secondary bar, if needed).
Oh, sorry, thanks for pointing that out!
For the ESP32, an hero is in the process of adding LVGL[1] to ESPHome[2][3]. You can try it out now: https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/6363
Here's the (very good!) preview documentation: https://deploy-preview-3678--esphome.netlify.app/components/...
This is such a game-changer for me that I'll be using the ESP32 over the ESP8266 for any projects involving displays from now on.

I planted seeds last week, and then nothing happened for days and days. Now they're beginning to come up. The link between last week's focus on planting and today's seedlings is something that I have to consciously remember, not the immediate feeling of "click muse, see square change color."
I'm not sure if it's sad or not, but reading your comment made me realize I learned the same lesson by ordering from AliExpress.

Very rich and easy to use! I'm not affiliated; I just discovered it and wanted to share. It uses websockets and has built-in authentication with Home Assistant.
Here's a demo https://shannonhochkins.github.io/ha-component-kit/iframe.ht...
Great documentation available here: https://shannonhochkins.github.io/ha-component-kit/?path=/do...
I had never heard of it before, but I hope it gains a lot more traction!
