The b-parasite is a small, open-source device that checks soil moisture, air temperature, humidity, and light for your plants, using a simple coin cell battery that can last over two years. It works with popular smart home systems like Home Assistant and can send data wirelessly using Bluetooth or Zigbee. The device is easy to build or buy, comes with free designs and software, and can be protected with a 3D-printed case. This helps you keep your plants healthy by giving you clear, regular updates on their environment, so you know exactly when to water or adjust conditions[1][2][3].

🚀 Bhutan's Bitcoin Mining Activities May Have Slowed Amid Economic Pressures
Bhutan may have halted or reduced its Bitcoin mining operations after selling 70% of its Bitcoin holdings. According to Foresight News, this move contrasts with other major institutions and sovereign nations that are increasing their cryptocurrency and gold reserves. Bhutan's hydropower is reportedly being redirected to supply electricity to neighboring India rather than being used for Bitcoin mining. Economic pressures, along with declining Bitcoin prices, increased network difficulty, and halving pressures, are squeezing mining profitability. As of now, Druk Holding and Investments, the sovereign wealth fund managing Bhutan's Bitcoin assets, has not publicly commented on any asset transfers or the status of its mining operations.
