Did a bit of "fuck around - find out" kind of #DIY .
Protip: soldering irons don't like running at max heat and you shouldn't muck around with a 500 C iron on the PCB for dozens of second if you want to have pads left to solder onto.
Protip 2: Don't ask me to install a cabinet.

Welp. I got a new #soldering iron and tried to put together one of the soldering kits I bought years ago and I think I already managed to fuck up the tip.

At least this is a very cheap iron, so it's not a huge loss. But still, ugh.

Finally finished building my very own stream-deck like shortcut panel from scratch. The wide e-ink screens gives you ten customizable shortcuts that can be activated by the buttons around the screen and the device matches the shortcuts to the currently active window when connected to a PC https://danielbarleben.com/keystone #theFoundry #hardware #diy

the other day i looked through our old box of electronics parts from a few years ago. the box was missing some things, but it had some buttons, and an Arduino-compatible with internet capability (!).
so i taught it how to light the onboard LED, accept Morse code, and send messages to @d6 's nanochat

is this the first message sent to the nanochat server by somebody keying dots and dashes?!

Was hanging around a cool hackcamp we're having in town this weekend and got excited enough about MeshCore to pick this back up! 😉

@hpux735 made some progress on the meshcore-rs library so I updated that and got it working no-std with very little (and much cleaner) adjustments. Now the crypto is working too, so I added this text display printing group chat messages :)

Oops, I fell down the embedded NAND/NOR storage rabbit hole! :oh_no:
Trying to find a data structure that maximizes flash longevity and minimizes RAM and code footprint.

edit: forgot to mention: it should also be simple enough to implement in #Forth or some other minimal language. The aim is #collapseOS -style self-hosting, for maximum #permacomputing coolness.

Made some very small progress on the #CollapseOS #PocketViewer port by figuring out more of the int86 routine.

ps.: my #assembly skills are pretty newbish and rusty, so consider all comments uneducated guesses :neofox_laugh_sweat:

ok, something still isn't *quite* right with the display driver or configuration but we're getting there!

The laptop has a simulation of the same code using wasm-bindgen, embassy and embedded-graphics-web-simulator :)

Swapped an SSD into my sister's laptop with only minimal damage to one of the finicky little flat cable connectors. :neofox_laugh_sweat:
Currently using the ultimate secret hacker technique of using a little USB to IDE/SATA adapter and an ATX power supply torn from its motherboard and animated by unholy magic* to copy everything over. :neofox_uwu: :flan_hacker:

small side project from two weeks ago: a microSD "flash memory necklace".

This was the first time I tried the assembly service of the ubiquitous chinese budget PCB company - designed in an hour on a friday afternoon after a conversation with a colleague, ordered the same day and just a week later I had 50pcs in my hand. It's insane.

Oh good, the assembler in #collapseOS straight up does not support the specific kind of modr/m mov I was trying to use. The upside of this is now I can say that I have debugged an assembler.
