Back to classics: I’m listening to “The moon is a harsh mistress” by Heinlein. After that I’ll go back to the Terry Pratchett saga, which definitely scratches the Douglas Adams itch

I liked all books in the series, but found the ending a bit disappointing…

Man, getting accepted by Polaris was fun!

With displays like these, it’s either parallel or SPI. Try to find a chip in the kapton circuit, that is the actual display driver.

Try to find out the FPC pinout, there should be two pins for backlight, find out of there’s any GND, etc… my gut says this is some kind of SPI based controller, 24 pins is too little for a parallel one.

The “I know a little german” joke kills me every time :D

Wow, this looks really nice! I would pair it with a cool dungeon level underneath ☺️

I settled on OpenProvider.com (Netherlands). If you have lots of domains you can get reseller access and buy domains at no markup, basically.

The only annoying thing is that you need to add money to the account instead of simply paying for the domains.

I got back to Firefox, I’ll try Floorp next, just to see how it goes.

Wow, harsh.

It’s not like this is an oopsie bug, this is a major vuln knowingly indroduced by the dev, and their response is somewhat shocking.

I recommend plenty of alpha/beta software to people, of course with the disclaimer that it’s not done yet, but sure, feel free to not trust me at all, stranger :)

For the record, I did not encounter major bugs in my ~1 month of usage.

I was a user, I even recommended it to people, but since the discovery of this issue I feel uneasy to continue using/recommending it. That dev response is appalling.

I know of two, I think both from Netherlands:

• https://splitkb.com/
• https://bastardkb.com/

Tempo di cambiare banca?

I’m doing a hardware interface for baby buddy. The platform is based on an esp32s3 with:

• round display with touch
• 10x Kalih choc switches
• rkjxt1f42001 (nice part, encoder+four direction)
• Ambient light sensor (to adjust backlight automatically)
• 9-dof IMU (because why not)
• battery controller and fuel gauge from TI

It was a pretty challenging design, first time soldering BGA ICs and using solder paste/stencil! Also, hard deadline :D

Will open source and publish HW and code (written in rust) soon!

Thank you, this was actually inspiring. I’d like to imagine I was making a better world before, and will continue to do so with all my strengths.

Ah, l’ho finito proprio qualche settimana fa sulla mia R36S, mi è piaciuto! Ricorda un po’ Monkey Island…

Aaaah, finalmente la mia pigrizia viene premiata… era nel mio backlog tirare su Omnivore ma non l’ho ancora fatto… mi orienterò su qualcos’altro…

There’s SwiftFin, but it’s been a while from the last update (iOS app was updated recently though) and there’s a number of issues. It’s usable though (I’m using it).

Maybe Scribus (FOSS) could scratch that itch?

There’s LaserWeb but apparently it doesn’t support closed source (Chinese) firmware so you’d need to change your laser’s controller…

They only provide an image at the moment, unfortunately. V4L2 is not supported, from what I read, which complicates support…
