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

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!
