It would be cool to have Lemmy pen pals. Asklemmy, what are your hobbies and what's your life like? (lemmy.ml)

I posted something similar before, but it did not gain too much traction, possibly due to time zones.

It would be cool to see a Lemmy online pen pal/chat pal thread. Tell us about yourself and your hobbies in comments! I’m a person in their 20s who likes world football, theoretical maths and physics, and FOSS stuff. I also like the outdoors and would love to share about outdoor adventures. Feel free to send me a message if you’d like to talk!

Of course if I tried to make it with my own Arduino etc it would be an ugly mess.

A few years back, I found I opened and closed a certain window multiple times a day to better control the environment.

Well- devices to automate opening and closing a window, just aren't something you find for sale- and, if you do- its not going to be cheap.

I ended up spending 30$ on a linear servo, a esp8266, and a couple of relays, and spent a couple hours automating the process of automatically opening and closing my window, at certain times depending on the inside, and outside temp.

It wasn't pretty at all, but, it was extremely effective... and did exactly what I needed it to do.
