We have a 2 month old, and we’re pretty keen on having him avoid screens for the next couple of years. We’ve already dialled back our phone usage when around him, and never watch TV with him around.
The sticking point is FaceTime. We both have family out of town who want to see him, and it’s great to build those connections. But I don’t really want him interacting with a screen to do it.
How do y’all handle this?

Hey all, dropping a link to my Googlarr project again! I posted it last year and figured it was time for its annual outing.
It's a self-hosted app that replaces all the posters in your Plex library with googly-eyed versions on a schedule. It works pretty well, it got about half my posters with googly eyes, the ones it misses are mostly illustrated or text-only posters where there's no face to detect.
Use this at your own risk. I've tested it extensively back and forth but I can't promise it won't absolutely destroy your Plex poster collection. Apologies in advance if it does.
Yes, it's largely built with AI assistance (Claude Code specifically), but the project is over a year old and I've

I am planning a roadtrip from Melbourne to Kangaroo Island in a couple of weeks. We will be leaving from Torquay on the afternoon of Nov 22nd, and catching the KI ferry around lunchtime on the 25th. I have read countless posts about where to stop along the way, but would love some guidance on what makes sense. I want to make sure we do not miss the ferry to KI, we are staying at the Southern Ocean Lodge on the 25th, and I would like us to get there in the early afternoon so we can make the most of the stay.

Oh no! The lead singer of a decently well known band has died in mysterious circumstances. They have a concert in two weeks, and if you are able to perform three of their songs of your choice on stage without the audience noticing, you receive $5.35m.
You have free unlimited access to coaches for choreography, singing and whatever else you need. Modern technology means that you look precisely like the lead singer (including switching gender and changing height/weight), so you don’t need to worry about that.

A few years ago I replaced all the light switches in our house with Lutron Caseta switches and dimmers. I have a Lutron Hub Pro 2, and one of the extender bridges to make it reach our back house. I have had essentially no issues with Lutron, except for when I accidentally unplugged the extender.
I have a couple of Home Assistant automations which use the Pico remotes as triggers. For example I have TP-Link Kasa outdoor plug which powers the lights in the backyard. A Pico remote by the backdoor triggers an HA automation to turn on and off these lights. It operates immediately. There is little to no delay in the lights turning on and off. My wife actually didn't realise it was a remote cont
