#
jeremycherfas Good morning IndieWeb. My internet was out for four hours earlier, which was almost certainly A Good Thing.
#
GWG jeremycherfas: Gave you a chance to get air?
#
jeremycherfas No. Fortunately I had downloaded the thing I needed to work on. Gave me a chance to do that without interrupting myself to pursue foolish errands.

#
GWG Anyone post their kitchen cabinet inventory on their website?
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] uh quantified self might be hitting diminishing returns here
#
[tantek] GWG, you might need to invest in "smart cabinets" for that, like the "smart refrigerators"
#
[tantek] 😉
#
sknebel "liked this post? click here to sponsor a refill of curry poweder in my cupboard, current stock is at 10 %!"
#
GWG [tantek]: I am trying some software to track it
#
GWG It has an API
#
[tantek] GWG, but seriously, if you're curious about that stuff, closest existing work might be factory inventory management. Maybe see if former Amazon employees have blogged about it.
#
GWG [tantek]: I have been looking at grocy.info for it
#
[tantek] I'm guessing something based on PUC barcodes
#
GWG I can't remember what I have
#
GWG But I always wonder if I can use a data source interestingly for other things

#
[schmarty] GWG: that "if" question is missing a lot of specificity and context. 😂
#
[schmarty] it depends strongly on the definitions of "interestingly" and "use". along with many unasked questions like "will the results be worth the effort?" "will i be creating new risks or liabilities with this work?" and much more.

#
GWG [schmarty]: I think of it in the context of people posting what food they consume
#
GWG I'm not sure if going back to what food I buy is of interest...
#
GWG Not necessarily in the individual, thinking the aggregate
#
GWG As in... here's what I bought this month

#
[KevinMarks] I need a safelist/wait list/blocklist for grocery shopping so I don't reflexively buy the things we already have

#
[tantek] GWG, schmarty, often the very act of measuring something explicitly changes your behavior around it, even without explicit analysis or deliberate subsequent action
#
GWG Exactly
#
[tantek] classic example is the meal diary
#
GWG I know know how many All American Burgers my mother has in her freezer
#
jacky lol

#
[tantek] 😂
#
[tantek] IIRC rhiaro tracks her purchases / acquisitions on her site, that's the closest to an IndieWeb Example that I can think of of what you're talking about GWG
#
[tantek] what is an acquisition
#
Loqi An acquisition within the IndieWeb is a type of post that enumerates purchases, gifts, donations, (stolen?!) and found things potentially with additional information like photos, descriptions, specifications, price paid, date/time acquired, location acquired from, and condition https://indieweb.org/acquisition
#
GWG I know chrisaldrich also touched on it
#
[tantek] GWG, your use-case is interesting. Maybe start a new section on /acquisition#Brainstorming describing your goals of tracking your kitchen cabinet inventory (presumably by tracking what acquisitions you make that go into your kitchen cabinets, and what use you make of those items).
