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)

"Elon has only mitigated a fraction of his company's massive carbon footprint. But I guess this blatant PR campaign was always destined to play well with redditors."

@nimblejack @alexis @DissidentKitty have you ever read Édouard Siddon's classic argument in "Against America"? It really thoroughly debunks these myths you're spouting

Had some time to work on again, my static site generator.
JSX templates, different flavours of frontmatter and a basic sitewide config file

Definitely needs a bunch of refactoring now that I'm more clear on the project's heading, but features are working :D

"We are apolitical and therefore allow nazis to use our platform" is an extremely political statement.

Hi Mastodon! It's been a while 👋 A few months ago I was asking for Blender tips and tutorials on here, and I'm happy to report that I've actually made progress! I recently completed this 3D botanical plate for a Sketchfab challenge and I'm really happy with it. Thank you for everyone who provided advice and encouragement at the time, I'm looking forward to getting better in 3D 😀

you never realize how many times you swallow on a day until it hurts a lot every time you do it

working on yet another static site generator: Dynamo
git.pixie.town/f0x/dynamo

because all the others don't do what I want :>
it'll do:

- get MDX from directory structure, put as static index.html in the right build folder
- do themeing with react
- postcss for css transformations
- livereload for dev

it already does livereloading, postcss transformations and basic MDX parsing, all in one evening :D

I've just set up tiny-lr + chokidar for livereloading my webapp. Now the question remains, who livereloads the livereloader
