Network nerd. Hanging out with cats and wonderful people whenever possible. I've made computers, gizmos, vegetables, coffee, and occasionally some sense.
Today I tore down a theatre set, so I can build another one for free
Couldn't find a double shot basket for my new espresso machine, but I found one the same diameter on ebay, just different rim, so a bit of time on the bench grinder, and a bit of 14awg copper wire to wedge it into place, and I can have a reasonable amount of coffee in my shots now.
It's amazing what humans are capable of when we're not spending all of our efforts on war crimes.
A lap cat with a paw over her eyes is the most adorable, but I've got a train to catch
I see you have a cable pouch on this cluttered workbench. That looks like a cozy spot to sit.
I've been hanging out at DeltaHacks at McMaster University. So much energy, creativity, and passion happening at this hackathon! I've already volunteered to be sent to any other hackathons that we sponsor.
Explaining the concepts of rewinding, side A and side B, and that a tape starts playing from where you stopped it. The youngest asked for a Walkman for Christmas
Ever get the feeling that the neighbors are watching through the window?
Shaking it up today. Aeropress instead of Clever. I'm unpredictable like that
Built a 2 button macro keyboard. One of the buttons cycles through my tailnets with the `tailscale switch` command. The other one is for future use, the ALT was the only other keycap I had handy.
Puttering, trying new things. Spent a half hour trying to figure out what I had done wrong just to find out was a bad USB cable. Who ships "charging only" USBC cords? :shakes fist: But I got to the "hello world" stage of fiddling with esp32 pretty quickly
In Toronto for BSides - come visit at the Tailscale booth tomorrow!
Waiting on a few parts before its finalized, like a keyboard cable, but my retro gaming laptop project is functional.
You can temporarily extend the key from the Admin Console ... menu. Long enough to disable key expiry. Still breaks things, but if that's your only access path, there's a way back in.
Some progress on my retro sleeper build. Found an old, broken 286 compaq laptop that had the same vibes as my old 386 laptop I had as a young person. I've gutted it, converted the old keyboard to USB, and replaced the dead screen with an LCD from a 1st gen ipad running on an HDMI adapter.
