We've moved a lot. Mostly, I distrust smart home gadgets and don't have many. But, several of the houses we've owned had lingering smart devices. Many of them ended up useless. Occasionally a Nest thermostat could be coaxed to betray its former owner and work for me. For the most part, it's a mess.
Once upon a time in college, I got a dial-up network connection working to my Commodore Amiga 1200 in my dorm room. I sprinted across campus to a computer lab to telnet back into my A1200. It was so neat. And pointless. But neat.
This, of course, was before it occurred to me that anyone with my temporary IP address could have also telnetted into my A1200. 🤷♂️
Had some adventures in vibe coding, last night. Maybe I'll write about it? I keep reading folks saying this stuff doesn't work, but... it does?
