Anyone have a “smart lights” flow they really like? Currently have Hue and don’t love the lag/occasional bugs/weird switches so probably moving to Lutron, but I *do* love how Hue changes color temperature over the course of the day. Anyone pair both smart bulbs and switch?

Docker noob here. Anyone seeing Docker on Mac getting IPs completely mixed up, where destination IPs are getting assigned as the source IP? Isn't that like… a security issue? Or am I being a noob? (New Mac mini, new Docker install, no iCloud Private Relay, no VPN)

I've spent weeks working on this big release of Please Don't Rain and it's finally out today.
I made a thread that shows the most significant changes.

Please Don't Rain is starting the year off with a big update!
Version 5.20 is rolling out now.
The UI of the main forecast has a fresh new look which adjusts much better to some sizes and orientations.

Got a new Waterpik per WireCutter recommendation
It's a proprietary connector on one end with USB-A on the other

I had a lot of fun playing with CKSyncEngine over the last little bit, but had quite a few questions, so I thought I'd detail some answers plus insights I encountered to save other folks some time christianselig.com/2026/01/cks...
CKSyncEngine questions and answers
I didn't know what to put as a header so here are some iClouds (interesting clouds) in Maine
I’ve had a lot of fun working with CKSyncEngine over the last month or so. I truly think it’s one of the best APIs Apple has built, and they’ve managed to take a very complex topic (cloud syncing) and make it very digestible and easy to integrate, without having to get into the weeds of CKOperation and whatnot like you had to in previous years.

Hot take: Apple CarKey is pretty great, but it’s still not as reliable as Tesla’s proprietary Bluetooth solution

Has anyone ever successfully cleaned those stainless steel air fryer baskets? Mine has developed a slight polymerized layer that despite my best efforts (boiling water + baking soda, Bar Keeper's Friend, etc.) I cannot put a dent in

Quite a few have asked which robo vac I landed on, and (not sponsored!) I landed on the Dreame L40 Ultra. Under $500 on BF sale right now and has pretty much every modern feature you'd want. Only gripe is I wish it was shorter

I was trying to figure out what kind of plant was growing next to my ginkgo and I finally dug it up. My neighbor feeds blue jays peanuts, and one must have dropped a peanut into my plant bed. Nature is wild

Picked up a new robot vacuum and it's remarkable the progress these make every few years. Some of my favorite tech, period

Saw a bunch of posts wondering how the App Store logo works (is it just sticks??), so I made a little 3D printed visualization of the 3 tilted app icons that come together to make it, it's really quite clever!
Makes for a fun desk ornament too ☺️
