It now looks very stylish and is much, much faster thanks to an NVMe boot drive

Hello there C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS

The size of drives is the most palpable progress in computing in the last 30 years, IMHO.

Every Step You Take, ads will not be watching you

Nothing is permanent on the Internet

Yes I did.

I have a new bicycle, and I created a pipeline to have my own activity logging without relying on some third party cloud service.

I created a Matrix space to talk about Life, the Universe, and stuff

I found a way to significantly reduce the power consumption of a Raspberry Pi Pico W, and I use that new knowledge to make a better solar powered weather station

My thoughts and recollections about the Space Shuttle, inspired by Scott Manley and Wayne Hale

Continuing my experiences with Meshtastic, I built a portable node with battery power and a better antenna

TICKLESS says that you should not open its ultrasonic tick repellent, and should not change the battery inside, I find those claims unreasonable

Growing new plants for my garden gave me a reason to do a timelapse video, and I'm sharing how to do it

Looking at older works

Combined HaOIII narrowband with RGB stars

Continuing the theme of powering stuff

Hopefully beginnng of a series

The not so happy reflections on distributed computing

Even more off-grid solution for a SBC

Let's set up a GPS device and make it work in gpsd and EKOS.

Let's build a NiMH trickle charger for AA batteries!

Pi Pico off-grid solution

A summary

Let's connect a weather station!

Let's build a weather station!

Who are you what and how did you get in here?
