Hi All,
Is there a such thing as usb thermometer that Fedora
can read? And be able to be place a ways away from
the computer so the computer's heat will not throw

It's not USB-based like you asked for, but I wanted a temperature and
humidity sensor I could place anywhere in the house and which could be
read by my computer. My solution was to buy a Raspebrry Pi 3 Model B+
and a humidity sensor that plugs into its IO pins. That's ~$40 total
cost. Now I have a little computer that reads the temp and humidity
anywhere I put it (it communicates via my wifi) and makes those readings
available through a web service on my home network that any other
computer can query. I could provide more details if this interests you
(outside the list, as this would be way off-topic for this list.) It's
pretty simple to do, simpler than the web tutorials I found make it out
to be. They're all pretty out-of-date when it comes to the software
setup involved. That's gotten dead simple now.

Not what I was after, but I am interested anyway. I
have had plumbing lines leak under the house before.
How do you keep it charged?
