I've wanted to do something like that for a while anyway to set different PID tuning on startup to get up to temp faster then switch over to settings for stability and maybe do an auto-off timer. A lot of industrial stuff is simple enough and uses stuff that's sufficiently standardized that these sorts of things can be hacked together pretty easily.
Swapped out part of a heat sealer. Relay on the old controller was periodically failing closed which is the wrong failure mode. Thinking I might pop a Pi or similar with a relay hat and wire the RS485 pins on the controller to act as an extra safety monitor/shut down power to the controller in the event of PV exceeds SV by too much. There's room in the sealer and it's a relatively cheap mod for some extra safety.
I've been wanting to get to that for a while but I never copied those files over to the current computer and I couldn't remember exactly how I had things set up on the server.
Those updates go a lot faster now that I just push changed source files to a git repo and jekyll automatically generates the static files there. It used to be using FTP to transfer files generated by m4.

I also didn't pay the people who threatened to publicize me masturbating and the porn I was watching. That threat always seemed kind of weird. Like, if anybody noticed they'd probably share a kink and that could be the start of a deepening friendship.

A 2nd, slightly different version of the same bogus bomb threat just arrived. Still not buying it.

So the Darmok and Jalad aliens. Picard and crew are stone cold sure that all their cultural references are to Important Serious Cultural Myths similar to Homer and wevs. But it seems just as, if not more likely, to me that Darmok and Jalad are cartoon characters or part of some popular franchise or something like that. I mean which types of references are people in our culture more likely to get and use? Allusions to Ajax or Bart Simpson?
Another day, another day I'm not going to get around to updating my servers. I don't want to let my Mastodon/PeerTube/Gitea/Nextcloud installs get too far behind the latest releases but I've got too many other things that need attention right now and it's not like I've got a lot of users to support on those servers.
