I switched from Windows a few years ago, and I had the hardest time getting used to moving/maximizing/resizing windows on Mac.

Not sure if that's what you mean, but if so then "Rectangle" solved all my window management problems, so much so I bought the pro version almost immediately.

If you're talking about MacOS, I've been using Maccy for this

You'll find a lot of Italian chefs used julienned mozzarella/fior di latte, or batons, rather than big circular slices. There's no firm rule that I'm aware of!

That said, trying to grate fresh mozzarella, instead of low moisture mozzarella (like is generally used on non-Italian style pizzas), would likely leave you with a big wet smeary mess.

I make a dozen large pizzas a week (I do a weekly pizza night for our small cottage bakery) and I cut my fior di latte into strips, then let them dry out a bit, covered on a wire rack in the fridge overnight before using.

Yeah, I do something similar to Andrew; bought a few IKEA tradfri buttons and remotes, and set them up to toggle lights or media in various rooms.

Is there a reason you wouldn't want to just get a zigbee/zwave/wifi smart outlet switch?

Cool, I've never used hall effect sensors but I'll look into them too. Let us know how it works 😁

I've been thinking about this recently too!

I kind of have a very crude version of this, by simply mounting my garage door tilt sensor as high up on the door as I could. Since it would go horizontal along with the very first section of the door, it triggers as soon as the door is open about 1/5 of the way.

Response isn't very fast, though, so if I wanted more precise control I was thinking about building 3 ESP distance/ultrasonic sensors mounted to the ceiling pointed downwards, one at the end of the track, one about 1/4 of the way from the end of the track, and one at the start (where the top of the door stops when it's completely open).

So the sensors would detect in order of sensors triggered, "closed -> cracked -> slightly open/ing -> open".

Tracking the previous state of the door in a variable would let me know the direction the door is moving as the sensors get triggered too.

I was going to suggest this too. A magnetic white board on a conspicuous wall in a common space. It's what my wife and I use for her cottage food business. Whiteboard marker, post-its, or notes affixed by magnets.

Thanks! Although I'm using Android; and since I need aliases with mailbox.org anyway, presumably I have that covered with K-9. For MacOS I'm happy with the default Mail client anyhow; it's nice enough to hold all my stuff that isn't browser based.

Their web client seemed kind of crappy, but usable at least, if I remember right. Not often I need to log in from a computer that I don't own, but once in a while it comes in handy.

Could you elaborate on what features are missing? I'm currently using mailbox.org as an email host, but considering swapping over to iCloud+

I kinda like this one better

I have both (they both can coexist peacefully on the same library). I use jellyfin for any watching on my phone or computer.

However, where jellyfin still really kind of falls apart is when casting to my Chromecast. Controls don't work, subtitles are unpredictable or missing, and it's just generally a mess.

So I use Plex for casting, and jellyfin for everything else. I bought a Plex lifetime pass ages ago, so it's an easy call to just have them both running.
