finally took the time to make my dunst notifications nicer, with a pywal template so they take the colors too

and this is the meme I love so dearly
social.pixie.town/@f0x/1029431 (attached too)

for now tho, this might mean I post a bit more followers-only, and probably will only accept requests from people I know elsewhere

seems I might get targeted by a group of transphobic bigots, after the admin posted a link to my mastodon trying to brigade them.

he added a screenshot, probably to entice his alt-right friends, CUTTING OFF MY GLORIOUS MEME, so just as a "look oh no sjw let's go harass"

pcbs arrived owo
time to solder one under the microscope and see if they work

remembered I took this good pic when I just got my new Xiaomi

btw I use Arch :P

Hackerspace got a new Vinylcutter, so I made these dual-color Arch stickers that turned out suuper well

if anyone would like to critique my very first PCB design:
silkscreen is a mess I'll fix later but all the components/copper should be done:
github.com/f0x52/LiPo-module

I'm now turning this into a pcb module, starting with the schematic.
Adding USB-C wew

and here's the schematic, the TP4056 is a great simple chip. I used 2.2K ohm for Rprog, but with 1.2K it will charge the fastest (1A)

so tonight I did my first real SMD soldering, on a pretty challenging chip :D

I desoldered the TP4056 ic from a dead SHA2017 badge, then made everything work on the smd-protoboard of the eth0 badge.
Great fun learning to do tiny soldering, and getting used to working under a microscope

It charges a single-cell lipo, and gives the charging status over a wire, something the prebuilt modules can't (they connect it to an onboard led instead).

Next up will be adding a voltage divider to get a battery voltage reading, and throwing this all into kicad (also a first for me)
