So I think this is all for not anyway. One diffuser, David Shop writes, and I think that's the correct term for it. Thank you. But as a couple of quick final notes, because I can't leave well enough alone and because my permitting has been denied, I thought, well, what's the next best thing? Well, I can put this junk in my menu bar because why wouldn't I?

And I was looking at Swift Bar, which is my thing that will let me put random stuff in my menu bar, which I really, really love. I've talked about it many times in the past. And one of the advantages of putting all this data on a MQTT setup, a PubSub sort of setup, is that anything can subscribe to these basically is it bad or is it good messages.

And the way SwiftBar works, though, is that it pings away. Like every five seconds or ten seconds or five minutes or ten minutes or what have you, it makes another request and gets the latest version of the world. And yeah, I could like just do this every second or two, but it seems so wasteful when the whole idea of MQTT is you say, I would like to get updated and then it sends you updates.

Well, come to find out, and I didn't realize this until earlier today, Swift Bar actually has the idea of, shoot, I forgot the name of it. I'm trying to stall for time while I look at it.

But it has the idea of streamable, there we go, streamable plugins where instead of just running a script and then getting a result and walking away, it will actually start a new thread and run a script and wait for it to update standard out. And when it updates standard out, it'll update your menu bar. And it took me a little bit of time to figure out how to get this right.

And I had to actually engage with the author of Swift Bar who went above and beyond. This is Alec Masnov. Went above and beyond and it seemed to install their own MQTT setup just to test my BS. Incredible customer service, especially for a free app, but even in general, incredible customer service. Um, and anyways, and between Alex and myself, we got it squared away.

So now as MQTT messages come in, I will occasionally see an envelope appear in my menu bar. If I need to check the mail, I will see a little charging car in my menu bar. If Aaron's car is charging and I will always see the state of the garage door because that's what I want to do either open or closed. And that makes me very happy and you can all judge me and I don't care.

And then finally, finally, we talked about, hey, when I leave the house, I might take all these Caseta switches and so on and so forth. And we had a brief conversation between the three of us as to whether or not I could.

And as per a handful of people, but I think the first one I saw was Mark Bramhill reached out and said, hey, according to their realtor, and obviously the rules may vary where you are, anything you show and the phrase that Mark quoted from his realtor was anything affixed to the wall is has to stay. So if you show the house with Caseta switches, guess what?

They're going to be the new owners, Caseta switches. But if you rip them out before you start showing the house, fair game, baby. So that makes sense. But I didn't know that. And I didn't have that summarized until Mark had told me about it. So there you go.
