Hence, we (that is James and me) have known it exists since its last outing in 2024. But it’s got to be the ultimate of fediverse influence to actually take that one stage further and buy tickets. And then some… ## [A little gift for every parent ❤️](https://thedadvibes.substack.com/p/a-little-gift-for-every-parent) _2026-07-29 · Tom Piccirilli · Too Much, Too Soon_ Your new downloadable guidebook is here.

After 15 years of London ballot rejections I finally got lucky by having my name pulled out of the hat in my running club draw (at the 6th time of asking), and although it was unlike anything else I’ve ever done, I have to say it was worth the wait. I’m 59 years old… ## [Setting up a Radxa ROCK 3a for Home Assistant](https://coffeenow.moomop.uk/post/2026/04/setting-up-a-radxa-rock/) _2026-04-26 · Coffee now_ The Radxa ROCK 3a Since we got a new thermostat, along with a new heat pump last year, we’ve been connecting that to the Open Source home automation software Home Assistant .
