Using a little extra juice to power Christmas lights shouldn’t bring the cops to your door — but police looking for cannabis are using power meters as home-mounted spies. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/07/when-your-power-meter-becomes-tool-mass-surveillance
Hang on though don't most respectable cannabis farms bypass the meter anyway ??
As if my brain isn't going off in enough tangents, now I'm really considering switching my oksh interactive shell from #Emacs to #Vi mode. Should I be going down this rabbit hole ? FYI I am a #Vim , #Neovim user but to do this I'm my terminal. I must be mad. 😜
I'm needing some #FreeBSD 14.1 sed assistance as my blarg blog script is now failing under FreeBSD.
When this line runs:
echo "$filename" | sed -r 's|\w+/(.*).md|build/\1.html|'
I get this error:
sed: 1: "s|\w+(.*).md|build/\1.h ...": RE error: trailing backslash (\)
I tried removing the \ before the w and the error goes away but the sed line doesn't do anything then ?
It is supposed to change any .md file paths into build/*.html
For example if it gets posts/my-first-freebsd-server.md it should output build/my-first-freebsd-server.html
This worked on #ChimeraLinux and #VoidLinux
I have noticed this but not sure if it's relevant ????

Any ideas please and thank you ? ❤️
