Right now I’m just using it for an AirGradient dashboard, which is an open hardware / open software air quality monitor. I used claude to rewrite the firmware to send the data to prometheus instead if their own servers, and countless other frustrating changes because they make the whole operation dependent on a connection to their servers…anyway, I didn’t want to pay a subscription for something so simple. I’ve thought about using it for some other projects, but for a lot of stuff I just don’t see the need for a dedicated dash.

Here’s a study that claims night owls are “cognitively superior” and that whatever chronotype you are, you must organize your life around that.

Here is a study that claims you are not beholden to whatever chronotype you think you are, and can retrain yourself.

And here’s a study that suggests there are actually 6 chronotypes.

brb, i need to decide if I am a moderately active chronotype or a daytime sleepy chronotype and what effect that will have on my chances of requiring a disability pension or developing diabetes.
