For graphing: different data requires different representations, so I'm figuring out how to do it in my dashboard project: https://github.com/karlicoss/dashboard
For dashboard, I started with health related data, because feel like other stuff (like 'histogram of my tweets' would be amusing, but not super useful immediately), and don't really expect any interesting quantified self insights from it.
I feel like the QS space needs a suite not unlike Home Assistant where you can plugin multiple integrations to these various services and begin collecting data relatively simply. Have you found anything in your travels that is mature enough to extend or spend time enhancing?
I still need to incorporate Home Assistant into my infrastructure, so not sure if I understand the analogy exactly.
But basically I think the answer is 'no' -- there are so many different 'APIs' (quoted because often there aren't proper apis, you have to scrape, export manually etc.), that very few people attempted to unify it.
I have some thoughts on how such system could work like, described here https://beepb00p.xyz/sad-infra.html#data_mirror and here: https://beepb00p.xyz/exports.html . The export tools I wrote are the first order approximation of this vision -- seems robust enough for me so far, so now I'm working on connecting it to other tools and looking to cooperate with other people.
Home Assistant takes many disparate brands, services, devices, APIs and architectures for the world of IoT devices and yet they are able to somewhat successfully pull them together. I see no reason QS is any different and couldn't do the same even if it is scraping or exporting at intervals where an API does not exist. The analogy is different devices with different things they do, measure, record, and interact coming under a single umbrella of a QS service in a time series database (not unlike and maybe even exactly as is done with: Home Assistant + InfluxDB + Grafana).
Ah, yes, putting it into a single database is something I have in mind!
Basically so far I was solving the 'data import/scraping' part, but now finally starting to connect it elsewhere now that it's somewhat unified and normalized.
For mental health and spirituality the Bhagvad Gita. Definitely not what I expected originally and had put it off for years/decades. After reading it, I felt a bit blissed out, what actually led me to read it was another book on taming our mind called The Yogasutras of Patanjali. I feel like it hasn’t been ‘discovered’ yet by the west but it had life changing consequences for me (for the better).
The canadian government is run by a bunch of clowns. Law and order is a secondary thought, we’ve filed for ltb evictions 3 months ago with no hearing date even scheduled. Our tenants have been living rent free for 8 months, we can’t do anything. Now a lawyer doing her job can’t do it because the government has failed to clean up organized crime.
You are criticizing the "Canadian government" as being run by a bunch of clowns, then complaining about evictions, which is a provincial matter. The LTB reference leads me to think you are in Ontario.
I agree that there are problems, but at least be more precise in what you are complaining about.
