Will it charge the AAA Eneloop battery?
These electronics are salvaged from two garden lights which were supposed to be waterproof and were not. I've merged two into one and replaced the 200 mAh cell with a 1.2 Ah one. Connected both solar panels in parallel to double the current.
It did charge the cell and lit the blue LED when I was carrying it to another room, so it does work!

Today, PC DOS 7 was the first time I personally encountered floppy disks in the 1.840K XDF format. For a moment, I was really confused and couldn't handle these disks at all. They appeared broken or unreadable, no matter what I tried! Luckily, after a little tinkering, I finally managed to make it work... and beautifully!

😆🤖 Murati's Thinking Machines releases a "groundbreaking" 975B parameter model, claiming you can "tinker" with it like a toddler with a toy! 🎉 Meanwhile, it struts around comparing itself to the likes of GPT and GLM as if it's the new Einstein of AI. 😂💡

Design export picture of the new case for the #IMSAI8080 clone called #KneisnerM100. Only have to order the acrylic glas at weekend.

Just to give you an update. After I had nicely soldered new LEDs into the #Imsai8080 clone front panel, it completely stopped working yesterday. So I took advantage of today, Sunday, to desolder all the TTL ICs and replace them with sockets. And you won't believe what I found there. Someone had already tried to repair something there before me. This was evident from the fact that IC 2 was a 74LS type, unlike all the others without LS. And a socket was soldered in for IC 14. In the pictures you can see what was hidden underneath. I think the cut between pin 4 and pin 11 looks intentional, though. But not the missing line to pin 1. I haven't checked what the lines are for in detail. But it certainly doesn't contribute to the function if they aren't connected. It has now been neatly repaired with short wires. And I will get completely new ICs, all standard types. Also I have to check whether it is not a deliberate mod, but IC 2 (first pic) doesn't look like that imho.

After more than a week of #tinkering in the evening hours, I successfully integrated #OpenTelemetry via #SigNoz in my primary hobby project (a web MUD of sorts). 🥳
However, the resulting #docker image is larger than the available space on the VPS where I host the project. 💀
We're gonna need a bigger boat. ⛵ #dev
