Not directly related, but we did the SPATCHCOCK method this year with a 33lb bird following this video [1] and it was INCREDIBLE. Brined for a day of course. If you have access to a Traeger, I highly recommend it.

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.

>Do we really need to apply the term genocide to groups that aren't even human? No.

Then you do not know what a genocide is.

> 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.

That sounds dangerous. Rewrite it in Rust to make it memory safe, blazing fast, configurable, and minimal with only 1092 dependencies.

If genocide to you only means "mass killing", then I can understand where you are coming from. There's no turkey culture being eradicated, no turkey books burned; only food being produced.

Every definition of genocide I can find online specially includes the term "people".

It's not an OS, it's software. I run it in a container. You can run their prefab OS if you want, but I do not.

I'm running the virtual image because for some reason the addon repository doesn't support containers. For what should just be a simple Python script and a Zigbee stick+driver, is for some reason this eldritch monstrosity (albeit with a nice interface).

You can set up the various addons as just separate containers; this is what I do for esphome, deconz, etc.

At first I thought it was a parody about overdesign and CV-driven development. This kind of feedback loop can be done in hardware without even an IC. Or an 8266 microcontroller (2 euros on aliexpress) if you really need WiFi.

What he did "cost me about $25 for the USB Dongle and roughly 30 minutes of time". How long would you estimate it would take a person unfamiliar with hardware to build the setup you had in mind? I wanted a medication reminder with a blinking light for my partner so that it would come on at the right time and turn off when she took the meds. Could I have done it in pure hardware? Sure. But I bought a Raspberry Pi and…

10 minutes if you start from a code example.

I don't think OP's goal was to get this done in the most efficient way possible, but rather to solve a problem using the tools that they were already familiar with and have access to.

Then why is this stuff on HN? Where is the hacker aspect?
