So we ordered a generator and I'm all excited to install #Genmon. I was going through some tutorials on building an esp32-based adapter but then it struck me that serial to Wi-Fi has to already be a thing.

Turns out you can get a semi-ruggedized serial to Wi-Fi server for $50 off Amazon that works seamlessly with Genmon, and even cheaper if you're willing to wait for it to ship from China.

Late stage capitalism is deeply flawed but it does occasionally have charms.

TFW you buy parts to repair a toilet yesterday but didn't have time to fix it so today you start to work on it but turns out the fill line you bought is too short and now there's a snowstorm so you can't go back to the hardware store to get a longer one.

Went down a very deep rabbit hole today with DIN rail and trying to determine a way to mount a #TinyMiniMicro sized USFF machine to one. I know I can mount it parallel to the rail but I want it to stick out to better utilizes the space I have. The best I can figure out is some regular clips, some aluminum flat bar stock or even some plywood, and some L brackets that I can attach to the built-in VESA mounting holes.

Eagerly awaiting a callback from Comcast re: installing FTTH. For six years they've said "nope" every time I've asked but this time, dear reader, this time they said "yes*". Now I'm playing phone tag with the gigabit pro rep to get more details.

CW: mental health

TFW you've gotten one night of sleep in the past week that was longer than five hours, your partner has lifting restrictions and is semi-immobile, and you spend three days worth of spoons over the course of two hours trying unsuccessfully to convince your super taster 6yo with bronchitis to just take the fucking medicine. Oh and your 4yo refuses dinner because it's not spaghetti again.

It's been a day.

@theprint @magnus919 either a #TinyMiniMicro class USFF machine or their slightly larger siblings the SFFs will likely do well for you. SFFs have the advantage of more drive bays and easily used PCIe slots for fun stuff like 10Gbe cards.
