But they are both "Sicherheit" since in compound words the main word is the last word. You could say "Ist dein Haus sicher?" and mean "is your house secure" if a burglar is targeting your neighbourhood or "is your house safe" if a storm is passing over it. You can distinguish both cases with context or compound words, but it's not generally done.

As native German speaker I would like to second that. It's a very good description.

I got an AirGradient like 2 years ago and was very disappointed with the quality of the firmware. I wrote my own with Arduino which was good enough for ~2 years. But last week I found out about ESPHome, and they have a blueprint https://devices.esphome.io/devices/AirGradient-DIY that just works. My (slightly) customized version: https://gist.github.com/M3t0r/b81ce82796a2ec30f5470f1345f9ca...

Whatever you think of the openness or quality of the firmware, the hardware is open enough to just flash your own.

Same here. Gotta replace the battery some time soon, but still _very_ happy with it. If it should ever break, this SE generation looks like the best replacement option.

On: M4 as a templating language (2020)

[M3t0r]

There are a couple of tools that try to package Jinja2 (and probably also other templating engines like go-templates) in a CLI friendly way:

- https://github.com/M3t0r/tpl (mine)

- https://github.com/kblomqvist/yasha

- https://github.com/mattrobenolt/jinja2-cli

[M3t0r]

I've spent hours putting that functionality into a unit test. Worth every minute!
