  1. Erfolg des Tages, nach Kauf eines #IKEA #DIRIGERA Hub “für smarte Produkte”, habe ich es geschafft den IKEA #ALPSTUGA #CO2 Sensor in mein #homeassistant einzubinden.

    Versuche mit #SONOFF Dongle-LMG21 oder Dresden Elektronik #ConBee3 und #OpenThread Border Router haben nicht funktioniert.

  2. The last few days I spent a fair chunk of my day arguing with the nRF Connect SDK and its Partition Manager…

    The goal: trying to get NSIB and mcuboot to behave with the secondary image on external (QSPI) flash.

    Took the better part of yesterday and today just getting a `pm_static.yml` together… only for it to compile an image, and `west flash` to barf because the image file embedded both on-chip flash data *and* a copy of the bootloader for the QSPI flash.

    In the end, I came to the following conclusions:

    1. Partition manager is over-engineered and fails at its prime objective of making partition layout easier (they tell you to skip dynamic layout and use `pm_static.yml` when doing DFU… enough said!)
    2. NSIB is a no-go if external flash is involved because it *insists* on making a composite image that won't actually load.

    Tomorrow, I'll see if I can bend `mcuboot` to my will. Primarily I want to see if I can move the public keys it uses for authenticity checks into a separate partition so I can update those without flashing a whole new bootloader.

  3. What’s one “comfort zone” you know you’ve outgrown… but you still go back anyway?
    (We’re not judging, we’re probably doing it too.)

  5. Well… I think I'm hours away from an #anniversary.

    12 months ago I observed a lot of #InfoSec people seemingly jumping ship from the social network formerly known as #Twitter, to the Fediverse.

    I never joined commercial platforms like Facebook or Twitter. I never "got" Twitter… just seemed to be lots of out-of-context quotes with no apparent "flow". #Facebook seemed like a duplication of what my blog does.

    I briefly considered joining an existing instance… maybe mastodon.radio (since I have an #AmateurRadio license)… infosec.exchange (since I have an interest in #InfoSec), theblower.au (since I'm Australian)… then thought… f-it, I'll just start my own like I did for everything else.

    Today marks a year since I followed the Join Mastodon guide installing Mastodon in a blank VM and getting myself federated.

    I've slowly gotten used to the quirks of this system, and the customs of the people that use it. (Customs which are wide and varied… a good thing!)

    As an #introduction (long overdue)… I work in IT doing software engineering, mostly writing device drivers for energy meters to use in a fork of #NodeRED… also do some embedded #OpenThread work (mostly TI CC2538). Outside of work, I have an interest in programming and networks.

    I got my radio license in early 2008, initially as VK4FSJL, then upgraded to the standard license I have now 8 months later.

    I am on the #ASD spectrum, being diagnosed as "high-functioning Autistic" back in 1987.

    I've got three big passions in my life, #OpenSource, #Radio (both commercial and amateur) and #Music. I consider myself a music luddite, listening mostly to popular music: my collection presently spans 1935 ~ 2023 with the vast majority of it falling between 1960 and 1990.

    Started with #Linux back in 1996, now almost exclusively a Linux user on the desktop, with a couple of servers running #OpenBSD, and some dabbling in other OSes like #NetBSD. I consider Microsoft Windows a legacy operating system unsuited to production use.

    Staunch #RightToRepair advocate. I support #Transgender and #Disabled peoples' right to fair and just treatment. #AntiFacist. #NonDriver #Pedestrian and #Cyclist.
