after being reminded I should enable kvm (oops) it all works really well. Can now set up Debian unstable, and experiment with a disk setup similar to my homeserver, to figure out how to mess with the RAID's etc

@amolith@masto.nixnet.xyz the tamafoxi is a project of mine to make a tamagotchi like thing, and also my intro into pcb design.
I made a prototype a few weeks ago: pixie.garden/~/Thingies/tamafo

For the LiPo module I just paid 16 euros for 75 pcb's, and another 16 for enough parts to assemble 20 (the IC's and connectors make up the bulk of the cost)

If the module works I'll have to work out how long it takes me to assemble one

I still need to figure out how long this will take, switching around data and RAID setups, expect a maintenance window announcement soon(tm)

(I got the Debian one a while ago, it was made in the same way but by someone else)

btw I use Arch :P

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

@amolith@masto.nixnet.xyz
It's a LiPo charging module, similar to these cheap ones on ali: aliexpress.com/item/4000061318

I wanted to have a smaller board as my first pcb design, so thought this would be nice as this circuit will also be part of my larger tamafoxi pcb.

5v in either through USB-C or the pins at the top
charges the lipo connected with the JST-PH connector

two ic's at the bottom are for over-current and over-discharge sensing, which will cut off the battery gnd if detected

left middle pins are for sensing the voltage at the ESP/arduino side, thru the voltage divider to bring it down to 3.3v, right middle pin can be used with a pull-up to detect if the chip is in charging state. Those are features the ali modules don't have

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:

pixie.town got a donation for a new 500GB SSD :)
when it comes in terra hardware configuration will change from:

256GB ssd (rootfs)
2x 2TB hdd in RAID1 (postgres and media storage)

to
2x 256GB ssd RAID1 (rootfs, postgres)
media storage:
200GB ssd cache (remainder of the 500GB)
2TB hdd

this should definitely improve Matrix and Mastodon performance a lot

taking terra (synapse, mastodon) down for a bit while I debug a possible hardware failure

"So i just came out to my dad abt being #nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.

He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”

and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that."

I'm now turning this into a pcb module, starting with the schematic.
