Adopting Universal Scene Description (USD)

I have seen quite a few questions around Pixar’s Universal Scene Description (USD) lately. Most seem to be about if they should adopt USD as a file format in their pipelines and workflows.

I recognize that there is some confusion about what USD actually is. So this is my attempt to shed a bit more light on the technology while I still keep exploring the depths myself. I find the technology exciting for all the efforts it’s creators have placed on finding an “universal” means of scene data exchange and management in larger pipelines.

Recently, I set up Home Assistant for all my home automation endeavors. To connect it to my Zigbee devices, I use Zigbee2MQTT. This works great so far except for one LED controller that is detected as a different model and does not support full control.

OpenSSH Configuration on Windows

There are certain tasks that I do every couple of months or even only every couple of years. One of those is setting up a new computer for development work. Then I struggle with some basic setup again as I have forgotten how I did it last time. One of those tasks is setting up OpenSSH.
