# Miscellanea for 2025-06-04

- Hello world!
- The Verge, [How to move a smart home](https://www.theverge.com/24184716/moving-smart-home-tech-setup)
	- 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?
