Recall petition filed against Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson faces ‘uphill’ battle
two Seattle residents filed a recall petition alleging she’s “derelict in her duties for public safety of the city of Seattle.”

Birdnet-go is a real-time sound analyzer that detects bird species. It can take in audio from microphones. I set mine up to stream audio from my security cameras that I already had installed. There's even a Home Assistant App, if you're using it.
I live in a more suburban/semi-urban environment, but was really surprised to so many different bird species.

Saw this on /r/homeassistant, thought it was pretty cool looking, even though I don't have solar.
Better Forgejo Action Runners config
I have Forgejo working pretty well. I also have a Forgejo runner running workflows successfully using a Docker-in-Docker system running in Kubernetes. This works pretty well and I like it, but I'm starting to run into some challenges with more advanced workflow use-cases.
For example, I only have one runner so jobs stack up. I wasn't sure how to implement multiple runners given that each runner needs to save a static token. I saw some references to ephemeral runners. Does anybody use auto-scaling or multiple-instances such as with ephemeral runners?
Additionally, using docker-in-docker has some issues. The Docker daemon gets persisted across jobs so the output images stack up and I have to periodically run docker system prune inside the runner. Trying to run docker commands that require logging in inside the workflow also conflicts with Forgejo's own control of the Docker Daemon.
Does anybody else run into these kinds of issues and have a good strategy? There was this issue about using firecracker micro-vms which could have fixed the d-in-d issues, but no recent updates.
