Your guitar is out of tuna!

The USB hub is powered, and the Pi needed a driver swap for better stability. So far works great.

Here we gooooo, the king of all junk setups.

Yeah, I've collected some used disks over the years.

The housing has been drafted in FreeCAD and then sliced out of scrap plywood.

And yes, the temperature is okay.

What's currently running on mine:

  • 10 commodity SSDs through a powered USB hub forming a poor man's NAS with snapraid + mergerfs
  • Podsync for converting my favorite YouTube channels to podcast feeds
  • Syncthing for generic file synchronization
  • K3s for whatever projects coming to my mind
  • Retroarch for occasional gaming needs
  • MPD with a floppy disk interface as my music station
  • CUPS for printserver

Not exactly a terminal bell, but in my own phone I have replaced all system sounds with those coming from Doom 3 and Quake 2. Best UI sounds ever.

Plasma rifle cocking for display unlock is music to my ears.

The only brand new one is the Motorola ROKR E2 in the middle.

It's not quite often to see damaged units on sale, as most of them are headed to a dumpster/recycle shop.

Just today I salvaged a portable cassette player in a decent cosmetic condition, I've yet to check the inner mechanics, but I'm pretty sure I'll bring it to life one day.

Found my old pocket computer at my parents' house, and it still works!

You could choose between RAM vs storage lol, and of course the storage gets wiped when the batteries die

Ooooh that roomba brush is Muscat's favourite toy! He'd play the damn out of it.

Homebox supports the https://<hostname>/a/<inventory_id> shorthand and does a 302 jump for you. Otherwise yes, I would have implemented the API search in a microservice.

Muscat is a totally different beast. Before any treats he would effin' murder for pets.

It's Nelko P21, around $20.

You're absolutely right here, this is my personal bias as I come from that part of the world (ex-USSR), where Palm's market share was almost negligible. I'll make sure to actually fix this in my presentation.

 

Chilling like no one is watching.

 

I hereby kindly invite you all to join me on this little journey, I'll do my best to make it a FUN one!

And I just made an HTTP endpoint in golang that outputs PNG labels with small QRs just as I need them, to print out on my Bluetooth label printer.

 

My ADHD keeps spawning batshit crazy projects of all sorts that entertain people around the world, and since the full scale invasion of Ukraine began, I have decided to give all my possible income that those projects generate to those who need it more than I do. I keep track of all incomes and guarantee 100% transparency. It isn't much, but for some fluffballs it means survival.

If you would like to chip in, here is my tip jar: https://rcmd.space/campaign
All money transfer reports can be downloaded here: https://rcmd.space/pages/support/

All collected funds go to https://instagram.com/kharkiv_animals_help , my friend who rescues and helps animals on a voluntary basis.

My projects that you might find interesting:

 
 

We've been together through a lot. We met first in Kyiv, Ukraine, where my spouse and I decided to build our first family nest, rather small, but decent. My then future wife took Muscat from a family where he was born to a British shorthair cat, and it certainly shows.

Later on, in 2017, we moved to Berlin, Germany. It was certainly a challenge to find a pet-friendly apartment, but in the end we found one, and there Muscat immediately charmed the landlords. Did I say we've been through a lot together? Muscat is very sensible and affectionate. We have developed our own rituals that we follow daily. He knows exactly when am I going to bed, he demands butt scratches on a carpet when I return home from work. He had spent every single home office shift by my side during the pandemic, serving his cat duties of stress relieving his humans. He's been purring me into deepest and sweetest sleep even during our hardest times.

I am blessed to have Muscat in my life. To many more years!

Did a live stream yesterday, where I tried to set up a serial tty connection between my Psion and an old RaspberryPi I had laying around. Got most of the way there in an hour, even though I had to spend some time troubleshooting what turned out to be me forgetting to plug the damn cable in. But then got stuck on it not accepting my login credentials, just reloading the login screen. I did some reading today, checking Man pages and documentation, and forum posts. turns out I was missing a "-h" flag/argument(not sure about the correct term) in my serial-getty@ttyUSB0.service configuration file. And that I could keep most of the settings there by default, but without "-h" rtc handshaking didn't work.

feeling pretty stoked!

Anyways I will try to do a complete write up once I'm done with my little project.
