Had not considered how much plastic packaging it would create.&lt;/p&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I have the need to backup a podcast that I&#39;ve made.
While I have the source files I really wanted to save the files that were published.
Wanting a project to try out Deno, clearly this was my time.
It&#39;s a very simple thing that downloads the mp3, images and creates json files with each episodes data.

    <title>Getting Nest Thermostat into Home Assistant</title>

    <id>https://adrianlansdown.com/posts/getting-nest-thermostat-into-home-assistant/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;The battle of getting my Nest Thermostat into Home Assistant been going on for some time.
I&#39;ve previously used the Google Nest integration, but it was a bit hit and miss and the key feature in the UK was that it didn&#39;t expose the Hot Water function.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After quite some playing it seems the best way if you want to have access to the Hot Water function is to use &lt;a href=&quot;https://homebridge.io/&quot;&gt;Home Bridge&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/chrisjshull/homebridge-nest&quot;&gt;Home Bridge Nest Plugin&lt;/a&gt; integration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s not the simplest process to get setup and only seems to work if you use Chrome or Edge to get the Nest account cookie. Trying with Firefox and Vivaldi never allow me to log in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With this setup I can now see:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hallway Thermostat (Climate Thermostat, Eco Mode, Hot Water)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Upstairs Thermostat (Climate Thermostat, Eco Mode)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Home Occupied - Simple on/off switch&lt;/li&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I’ve started using Jellyfin more often which is going well but it leaves me with unwatched videos on my Plex server.
As always seems to be the way someone has already solved this problem with the creation of JellyPlex Watched.
It’s a simple docker container that looks at Plex, Jellyfin and some Emby and syncs up the watched status.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Short queue when we arrived but quickly sorted the kids for their class.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They thankfully take safety seriously, so there are a few forms to complete and an induction tour, but the staff were friendly and helpful.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Josh, who ran the kid&#39;s session, was great with the kids and quickly got them climbing along and up the wall.&lt;/p&gt;

Iced Brown Sugar Oat Latte&lt;br /&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;It seems that a lot of companys doing &lt;a href=&quot;https://managingengineers.net/tags/Solar&quot;&gt;#Solar&lt;/a&gt; quotes use getPylon.com&lt;br /&gt;
Which makes sense, why build it yourself when you can white label.&lt;br /&gt;
Well it looks like Pylon provide a lot of data in the html that never gets displayed to the user.&lt;br /&gt;
More digging to be done&lt;/p&gt;

Everyone has different quotes with multiple variables so it’s hard to compare quotes.&lt;br /&gt;
And that’s once you actually have a quote!&lt;/p&gt;

Yes that is my fastest time this year.&lt;br /&gt;
PB for that Parkrun remains 00:28:49&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe it’s the new trainers, Maybe it’s the extra runs during the week.&lt;br /&gt;
I haven’t been this fast since 2019!&lt;br /&gt;
Average finish time still insight at 00:29:05&lt;/p&gt;

Lots of examples of “I built this in 8 minutes”&lt;br /&gt;
Very few of the next 10 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
If you trust in the system you can go from working to code that doesn’t work and no idea why.&lt;br /&gt;
Looking forward to trying it on a bigger existing project.&lt;/p&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Well the new netting AND holding it down with hose pipe appears to be working.&lt;br /&gt;
By the end of the week we might have a ripe strawberry.&lt;br /&gt;
Hopefully that hasn’t been eaten by an animal or insect.&lt;/p&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;h3&gt;Cook the pasta&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Boil the pasta for 2 mins less than stated on the pack, then drain.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Make the cheesy sauce&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Melt the butter in a saucepan.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stir in the plain flour.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cook for 1 min more.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gradually whisk in the milk until you have a lump-free sauce.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Simmer for 5 mins, whisking all the time until thickened.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Take off the heat, then stir in the cheese.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Mix together&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Add some pasta to the baking tray and then some cheesy sauce.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Once that is mixed, add some of the veg.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Repeat until all pasta, sauce and veg are added and mixed together.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Oven cook&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bake for 20 mins at 180°C until crisp and golden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Can be frozen before baking – defrost thoroughly before cooking.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) / Gas mark 6. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Unroll the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Brush the surface with beaten egg.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If using, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the pastry.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Scatter the grated cheese evenly over half the pastry. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper or paprika.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fold the uncovered half of the pastry over the cheese-covered half and press gently.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Brush the top with more beaten egg, then scatter over any remaining cheese.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cut the pastry into strips roughly 1cm wide and twist each strip several times.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lay the twists on the prepared baking trays and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and crisp.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Leave to cool slightly on the tray before serving. Best eaten the same day.&lt;/li&gt;
