    That thing where I put off learning a service or a technology long enough that it gets sunset and I no longer have to worry about it

    just watched a Level1Techs youtube video and now I want a big ass drive tray into which to install all the shitty-ass random hard drives I have sitting around the house in boxes to see if I can squeeze some more storage and life out of them

    I should get a bunch of display panels to hang in my office and pretend that it's a starship

    Just saw this over on Bluesky, and it reminds me that I sometimes daydream of a club / bar that has display panels on all the walls dressed up as windows that constantly display sync'd up space scenes like the whole place is a starship https://bsky.app/profile/portalrealm.bsky.social/post/3mzt3nfahus2f

    Content warning:nvidia; jenson huang Jenson Huang is a deeply, deeply stupid man 😂 My wife also does a great number of things for me. She's always got my back, and I've got hers. She also knows where all the bodies are buried. And that's why I will never, ever fuck with her. (Well, that, and you know, I adore her.)

    So, I finally got one of these little ESP32 touchscreen widgets I ordered from AliExpress. I'm turning it into an LCARS wall panel for Home Assistant. Here's a screesaver I threw together for it. I blame @cruftbox since I forked his Tessera code as a base #iot #HomeAssistant
