  1. 🚨 Oh no, a Google ad penalty slashed their pocket money in half 😱! The horror! Naturally, the only solution was to transform into a ✨ publisher ✨ because why not complicate a simple hobby project, right? 📚 Because everyone knows publishing is a guaranteed cash cow! 🤑

  2. Still got some geek going on? Check out this dude’s hobby animation site representing the 796th floor of an imaginary space station. Characters, many, many of them… drawn from film, comics, manga and anime. A distracting rabbit hole. #animation #geek #nerd #HobbyProject #VeryCool

  3. 🚀 Wow, someone made a #game with a custom bytecode VM in just 7 days and 3kB! 🎮 Because nothing says "cutting-edge" like fitting your hobby project into the memory of a toaster oven. 🍞📉

  4. 🎮 Oh, the glory of spending 25 years endlessly #tinkering with a DOOM-based #Sonic #game, only to be blocked by #Cloudflare because your hobby project might just be too threatening for the internet. 🔒✨ "Please enable cookies," they say, as if decades of coding led merely to cookie-clicking mastery. 🍪🔓

  5. CW: Just some rambling about my frustration of fighting against my thoughts to focus on my studies, and not having enough time for Fossery stuff (Post 1/2)

    Dang, I need to study but I can't stop thinking about the things I want to do outside studying. I want to develop FosseryWeb, make some videos etc. My brain can't stop generating ideas, and refusing to focus on my university studies until I do all of that. Dang, my brain! Stop, please stop generating ideas all the time! I have to study to be able to make a living!! I fight constant war against my thoughts to be able to focus, and be able to get a job once I finish my studies, because of course I have to make a living, and this Fossery Tech / FosseryWeb project won't be my main source of income, because I'm not a businessman, can't make this whole project profitable without giving up what it stands for (promoting only FOSS software/services, standing against Big Tech and digital slavery), which I won't. So I guess the only solution is to force myself to study some boring theoretical stuff for 4 years, then work for a company, which may or may not become "evil"... Regardless, I will always separate this project from my daily job, won't tell my employers about it, to avoid situations, like being manipulated/forced to promote the company's product under the Fossery Tech name, because any for-profit company can become evil, then I couldn't say, I don't want to promote their product anymore, it would be a really bad situation. Hell nah, I won't get into that crappy situation (unlike some other content creators...).

  6. Building your own USB device with #embassy, async #rust, and a #bevy frontend feels amazing!

    I don't understand USB patterns enough to do it 'correctly', but its working and that's good enough for me :D

    I am thinking of doing a walkthrough of how it all works 🤔

    But that will come next year!

  7. #screenshotsaturday
    Santa can finally shoot 🎅

    I know xmas is over but still working on my #shooter either I release it for next xmas or I swap out the models.

  8. There's no shame in not finishing your hobby projects. Worrying about that is pointless.

    There is still benefit in finishing projects. The Cult of Done Manifesto has a brilliant 13th entry: "Done is the engine of more".

    By finishing things, you'll inspire more work, you gain momentum and you can get feedback that feeds into creating more.

    I love that phrasing.

    "Done is the engine of more"

  9. Added some capacitors and resistors to make sure eveything is stable. The PCB is not as tidy any more, but it's satisfying to do things right.

  10. And yes, unless it was clear from the previous post, the experiment was a success and the monster lives! 🧟 Making a tidier version of the programmer with a custom PCB would be a nice little hobby project. #electronics #tinkering #hobby #hobbyproject #hobbyprojects

  11. Auf dem Weg zum Supermarkt habe ich mir Gedanken über nachhaltige Hobbies gemacht.

    Dann habe ich einen Dosenverschluss auf dem Boden gesehen und gesagt:

    "Neues nachhaltiges Hobby gefunden! Ab heute sammle ich Dosenverschlüsse"

    Kurz darauf habe ich noch einen Dosenverschluss und zwei Redbull Dosen gefunden und von denen die Verschlüsse abgezogen und die Dosen abgegeben und 50 Cent Dosenpfand bekommen.

    Und ich habe immer gedacht, man kann kein Geld mit nachhaltigen Tätigkeiten machen. Wie ich mich geirrt habe 😀

  12. Everything seems to be working, phew! Warning lights, headlights and horn 🔈 Now I just have to mount the front to the rover, stick the camera on there and this little step is done.

  13. I just received my first batch of custom PCBs! So much fun, and honestly worryingly cheap. It's very tempting to start soldering right away, but I guess taking the kids to preschool has higher priority ... again. #pcb #pcbdesign #electronics #hobby #hobbyproject #hobbyprojects

  14. Adjusting the position of the ride wheels of my little rover. Not quite right yet in this shot. #hobby #hobbyproject #hobbyprojects #tinkering

  15. Earlier in the summer I thought it would be fun to design my own PCB at some point, and a few weeks later I decided to just give it a go. It's half circuit and half just a mounting board for things I need in specific places on my Raspberry pi rover, so the layout is a bit weird, but I think it could work! People who actually know what they're doing might disagree. #pcb #pcbdesign #kicad #electronics #raspberrypi #hobby #hobbyproject #hobbyprojects

  16. Today I found myself with about half an hour of me-time after work, and naturally spent it poking down a stuck toy from the roof of our patio room using my remote-controlled rover equipped with a carefully designed poking stick. It was more difficult than expected since the rubbery toy had almost fused with the plastic roof, but I got it loose just as I had to go pick up the family from a play date. Mission accomplished! #robot #rover #electronics #raspberrypi #hobby #hobbyproject #hobbyprojects

  17. The other day I tinkered a bit with the web interface for controlling my little Raspberry pi rover. It's beginning to look pretty sweet if I may say so myself!

  18. A quick test run! The camera is mounted way too low, but it will do for now. Also one side of the gearbox is a lot noisier than the other. I might have to disassemble it and see what's going on. Still I'm very happy with the result so far, it's a lot of fun to drive around with it! #raspberrypi #electronics #tinkering #remotecontrolled #rover #hobbyproject #hobbyprojects

  19. Finally mounted the battery hat on the Raspberry pi, and experimented a bit with different ways of fitting the different parts onto the base. This is my favorite so far, pretty compact with a low center of gravity. If I decide to stick with it I might get some 3D-printed mounts, but cardboard and tape works for now. #raspberrypi #electronics #tinkering #rover #hobbyproject #hobbyprojects

  20. Surprise delivery early in the morning! More upgrades for the Raspberry pi rover; a Waveshare UPS hat, which will provide power with a *much* slimmer profile than the awkward freebie power bank I'm currently using. Can't wait to put it all together! #raspberrypi #electronics #tinkering #hobby #hobbyproject #hobbyprojects

  21. Unexpectedly got some hobby time in this evening, and quickly prepared a couple of beefier motors for my Raspberry pi rover. I bought these along with the gearbox and the current motors over ten years ago - good thinking, past me! 6V motors should make a difference compared to the current 3V ones. #raspberrypi #electronics #tinkering #hobby #hobbyproject #hobbyprojects
