HyperDash
This one is more of an ML/DL DevOps tips which can work anywhere, even in other Jupyter notebook envs. HyperDash allows you to monitor your model training or anything that is printed via your phone. It supports both iOS and Android and is super simple to get setup. Installation Step:
- Install HyperDash on your phone
- Go to your Jupyter notebook and run the below cell I used GitHub login so I added -github in the end
!pip install hyperdash && hyperdash login — github
- Import module from hyperdash import monitor_cell
- Use this magic in the cell you want to monitor. Which for most will be the training loop.
%%monitor_cell “model/experiment name”
In the app, you can see something like this. While I have included this as a tip, it is not something I have used. Because I have never trained for a very long duration. As per HyperDash website, it also allows detection of the status of your training and can notify when your training completes, fails, crashes or gets disconnected.
Repurpose your dishwater
When you are boondocking, your time off-grid and unhooked will be much better if you don’t run out of water. Washing and rinsing dishes uses more water than anything besides your RV toilet, so it makes sense to repurpose your dishwater. Use a basin to wash your dishes, and then use gray water to flush your toilet.
Salute
Demonstration Because this is one of the hardest dog tricks on this list, teaching dogs to salute will really test your patience. It will take a lot of time and repetition, not to mention plenty of enticing treats. Fortunately, I've found a fantastic demonstration video from the popular Surf Dog Richochet that does an excellent job at explaining it.

Whether you’re trying to capture dramatic skies or expansive shorelines, the 16MP Ultra Wide lens offers a 123-degree field-of-view so you can make your summer photos more interesting. Simply enter the camera app and click on the icon with three trees above the shutter button to use the Ultra-Wide lens.
10. — Random Filler Tips: Dark Mode and Corgi/Kitti Mode
This is kind of a filler tip. (Just because I wanted to round off to 10 tips 😜). Go into Tools -> Preferences -> Theme -> Select dark. While the dark mode is cool. I prefer using a light theme. There is also a Corgi and Kitty mode under Miscellaneous which will add animated Corgis and Kitties in the header.
Make sure your campfire is really out before leaving it
Abandoned campfires are one of the leading causes of forest fires. Not all of these fires were intentionally left smoldering. Campfires heat the ground underneath them hot enough to reignite anything combustible in your firepit hours later. No one wants to be “that guy/girl” so use lots of water or dirt to thoroughly smother your campfire when you are done with it. As a rule of thumb, you should be able to put your hand comfortably on the ground in your fireplace before you leave.
