You've convinced me to learn and implement OTA on my 8266. Thanks!

I stopped commenting on YouTube videos when they stopped showing me a list of connects i made in the past.
Someone please just create an easy to follow DIY front light using diffused LED strip for my old kindle and I'm good for another decade. My Kindle even has power out pins on the back to make it easy.
Because you love the pain that comes with pulling your own hair out, one fistful at a time.
- A spoon of TomYum Soup paste (spicy ground shrimp basically)
- Diced onions and bell peppers added raw once the ramen is off the heat. Adds crunch with taste
- Any of my favourite cup soup mix, mostly hot and sour
Sadly, strawberry season is gone where I am and I can't wait to try this out. This year, i discovered that coriander goes very well with strawberries to make pesto. I ate 10 times more strawberries this year than my previous average.
If you are going the phone way and care to make the battery last longer, you can also install an app that keeps waiting to receive a keyword by SMS, upon receiving which it turns the GPS on, locates itself and sends the location back by SMS. It has dual benefit of not needing a data pack and making the battery last longer since the GPS or data is not on constantly. On the down side it'll be tough to do live tracking by this approach.

These are just two links that came up using a basic search to do this. There are multiple listings on f-droid to help you not just get location but control the phone remotely over SMS.

Yeah, this is why our AI image generators create kooky images sometimes. /s?
I've only tried edible cannabis a few times but one of the fun things is the feeling of epiphany once you realise something when you're high. It could be a mundane thought otherwise, but when you have that thought in the high state, it just feels so mind boggling. Your message makes me wish someone told me this while I was high.

I think a Pi is an overkill for this. If I were to attempt this, i would try getting it done with an ESP8266 module which uses far less power, making the battery last much longer. Bootup and shutdown times would be much less so using coin cells or supercapacitors charged using small solar panels could also be used. If your home is not too far (few km), using LoRa could eliminate dependency on the WiFi. Cool use case, nonetheless!
