So this one caught me off-guard. I’m currently working on a project that uses an ESP32-S2, and for expedience I’m working with the Arduino framework. It’s just faster that way, honestly.

I’ve mentioned before that it’s getting to be time for me to get a job. More precisely stated, it’s that an income would be a very nice thing to have. Unfortunately, I recently ran face-first into a psychological …

Every once in a while, I do something stupid. One of the things I don’t want on this blog is data about my location. The problem is that modern cameras – especially cell phone cameras – include your latitude and …

I’ve been trying to force myself to learn about zsh since Apple switched the default shell (why, Apple, why?!). One of my biggest annoyances has been the unexpected munging of the Meta-Backspace combination.

It’s coming up on a year since I switched to Hugo. During that time, the most annoying thing about it has been waiting for builds. Sure, I have it all neatly packaged and automated via GitLab Auto DevOps, but it’s just …

Still growing! Yesterday I snipped off half a dozen leaves, tore them up, and put them in my favorite soup instead of the usual dried stuff. The taste is markedly different; it was really good!

Every once in a while I like to do a round of maintenance on my homelab. This generally includes cleaning everything up, modernizing where I can, and so on. The beginning of 2024 seemed like an excellent time, but also a bit more …
