Boredom is currently offline due to a project I’m currently working on that needed a wide angle Pi cam; my spare was a standard one, and that wasn’t a wide enough view. Don’t worry, though! A new camera module is …

All three of my readers have probably assumed that my recent quietude is because I’ve been busy working on the business since my last post – and for a few months, you would have been right. Then the tariffs hit, and …

I’m Finally Back! For now, at least. As previously noted, I’ve spent way too much time recently hiding from the world and/or not doing anything useful. The reasons still escape me; sometimes, my life is just like that. …

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 …

I finally got around to finishing up the sharing stuff; look for the little sharing icons on the upper right of a post header or a project page. Note that I haven’t tested LinkedIn or Twitter; I use neither service and …

Happy New Year! Yeah, I’m a little late on this one. Some time back in April I got distracted (read: fell into a fiction rabbit hole) and stopped working on things, including this blog. I even had a post all written up that …
