😆🤖 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. 😂💡

My goal for 2026 is to manage my digital stuff more effectively on my own (self-hosting)! 😉

That’s why YunoHost is my current project—I’m researching it and narrowing down my options. 😁

I like and need to tinker with digital stuff every now and then—even if it sometimes causes stress and makes me tear my hair out. 😅

So far, @markus has taken care of managing my digital space, which works perfectly and without any issues. 👌

In the future, though, I want to get more involved myself again and learn a thing or two along the way, especially since I’ve been using Linux—specifically Mint (for work) and Arch (for gaming)—in my personal life for a few years now. 😊

Had a successful DIY Saturday—built a split-system air conditioner. It’s supposed to be a bit more effective because it eliminates the negative pressure in the room that otherwise draws warm air back in from outside.

25km on the #ebike this morning — first proper test of the second-hand motor and battery I fitted myself. Battery's only done ~35km all up on this charge and still pulling strong. Cheap parts, a bit of #tinkering, and a good #ride out of it. I'll take that. #cycling #DIY #BikeLife

Oh, joy! Another "groundbreaking" initiative to share data on fixing your vacuum cleaner 😂. The Open Repair Alliance seems to think the world desperately needed a standard for #tinkering with small electronics, because apparently, sharing repair tips is the future of humanity's progress 🚀🔧.

Most students learn 3D printing from diagrams.
Ours experienced it.

Toothpaste + layered shapes = real understanding of additive manufacturing.

Simple idea. Powerful learning.

#HandsOnLearning #STEM #STEMLearning #wow3dlearning #tinkering #tinker #3dprinting #designthinking

What if you could teach 3D printing… using toothpaste?

Our Grade 8 students tried something super fun:
Layering toothpaste over black and white printed shapes to see how 3D objects are built with one layer at a time.

From flat to form, they experienced the magic of additive manufacturing with their own hands.

Learning by doing always wins.

Brýtro.
Tak zatímco jsem obětoval jeden nafukovací balonek na ochranu elektroniky, dostal jsem prakticky magické soukromé oko bez deště 😄
Oproti loňsku jde o obrat, protože tehdy jsem dostal vždycky svůj osobní mrak na cestě do práce i z práce 😅

Right now in my life I unfortunately have a hard time dedicating large amounts of time to huge creative projects in the workshop. So when I get some downtime or need a break from my other engagements I tinker in my cellar instead. Pulled out my old IBM 5155 Luggable yesterday, and tried to connect it via Null modem to a Raspberry Pie, Turns out DOS 3.3 can't even set Baud rate or parity with CTTY. So I'll shelf it again for now as I look for DOS 6+ Floppys. #retrocomputing #IBM #DOS #Tinkering

Csináltam egy merészet.

Van egy Lenovo Yoga 11e tablet PC-m. De, Linux alatt egyszerűen sosem működött a tablet funkció.

Hat éve van nálam, de együtt tudtam ezzel élni, mert igazából nekem egy valóban kis laptop kellett utazásokhoz, ha ügyet kellett oldanom alapon.

Sosem használtam ki tabletként. Még Windows alatt sem. (Igaz, Windowst csak és kizárólag az ősöreg, de LifeTime Garmin Nuvi GPS-em frissítéséhez használok egyedül, mert nincs kedvem kerülő utat keresni rá.)

De, úgy voltam vele, hogy ha már van mindenféle CLI-s AI agent, akkor teszek egy próbát azzal is.

Oda adtam a Claude AI CLI agentjének sudo joggal együtt, hogy... oldja meg, ha tudja.

Dolgozik bőszen. És, igazából nem csak azért nem félek, hogy elront valamit, mert nincs semmi szenzitív azon a gépen és pikk-pakk újra telepítem és kész.
De, azért sem, mert egyszerűen egy netes keresést nem tud megcsinálni anélkül, hogy minden oldalra külön rá ne kérdezne, hogy engem-e.

...és ugyanez minden lépésnél itt is. Egyszerűen nem tudok normálisan gépelni, mert a másik monitoron az ssh-ban folyamatosna nyomkodnom kell az entert a jóváhagyások miatt.

Kíváncsi leszek, mi lesz a vége!

I've updated my Arduino RGB controller:
- color transitions are now much smoother
- I can now control the maximum color intensity
- The ambient light when my PC is turned off is now much dimmer

Finally have the colour boot image now working with a placeholder image 🙌🎉

Continued the setup where the images are stored in flash ROM so the filesystem will be solely for badge images. And the boot image include is driven by a preprocessor define at the board or screen level.

I love messing with #esp32

#platformio #hacking #tinkering

It's alive! Inverted, but still working ☺️

I now have the different screen modules be able to define a Boot Image, which will then include the relevant header and data from PROGMEM to show when booting

I really love working with #esp32 and #platformio

I recently acquired a new Turris Omnia NG router from @turris to take advantage of my new 10 Gbit/s internet speed from my provider Init7. Now I was really curious about my actual speed ...

This led me to LibreSpeed (https://github.com/librespeed), an Open Source speed test tool which is working by default with PHP. Unfortunately the router isn't powerful to provide reasonable measurements because the chunk files to test the download speed are generated by PHP and openssl. This appeared to be a bottleneck.

So I was tinkering a little bit and created a NGINX backend for LibreSpeed which doesn't rely on PHP.

Now I have put together this in a GitHub comment: https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest/issues/375#issuecomment-3769211254

(I still rely on PHP to get the IP address and to store the measurements though, but this is lightweight enough for the router.)
