(off-topic): Could the link be fixed to point to: https://www.blockloop.io/smoking-a-turkey-with-prometheus-ho...

I have no idea why it has the root URL. I pasted the direct URL but it looks like HN didn't like it. I can't modify the URL unfortunately. If a moderator could update it that would be great.

You can fix your website: the post has a https://www.blockloop.io/" /> in it, which tells the HN software that the main URL for your post is your homepage.

Do we really need to genocide turkeys every year to celebrate a pockmarked holiday? I'd say a thankful person would be eating something a bit more sustainable than a turkey that's been growth-pumped like a lab animal to epic proportions. Where's the thanks in needless slaughter of sentient beings? Are we so daft that we express our thanks for our fortunate circumstances by causing suffering of others?

A turkey is merely a substitute good for other foodstuffs. It's not like people wouldn't eat on Thanksgiving if they didn't have a turkey. It's not like they'd go hungry for the next week without all the turkey leftovers...

very cool write up. i’ve become obsessed with smoking since the pandemic. i’d love to hear about your other automations you mention!

I'm writing another post about my home lab. Currently it sounds complex and over-engineered, but I think that's because of how I'm describing it. I'm working through some of the details so that it - on paper - it sounds as simple as it is. I'll post back to HN when it's finished. Stay tuned.

Do we really need to apply the term genocide to groups that aren't even human? Or is that an emotional appeal? Have you ever met a turkey in real life? Not the wild ones, the domestic breeds. They are so stupid that they will drown in their own water feeder if you don't keep an eye on them.

Another reason to not support the meat industry.

Thank you. I deleted that tag for now until I figure out how to set it properly with Jekyll. I'll admit that SEO is not something that I've worked with extensively.

Geno means race and cide means killing. The word does not have any roots in it that are specific to humans.

By your logic, we shouldn't care for humans with mental disorders or low intelligence quotients. Are you implying that only smart beings can suffer? If so, back it up. Otherwise you simply are making an appeal to tradition. If we held on to appeals to tradition, we'd still be having Thanksgiving served by our family's slave(s).

> Smoking a turkey with node.js, Electron, and Hello World Run your 4673-dependency "webscale" Electron app for a few seconds until your computer overheats, and then use it to cook your turkey.

But all that heat is client-side, and I hear turkey is a dish best served cold.
