So I bought one of these mystery boxes of electronic components

I wanted to be able to look up what ICs I have because that considerably increased my collection. I ended up writing a program that takes in folders with a markdown file and datasheet and indexes provided content and the datasheet to make everything searchable and produces a HTML file with all the info on a single page. It works surprisingly well, although I'm not sure if I'm ever going to use it...

I really want to make something like this... https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:316630

Although I wonder if I could do a better base, it looks kinda flat/uncomfortable

Because it's so tiny and runs on 5V, I have some fun ideas for wearable applications of it :D

I bought a tiny thermal printer for $5 the other day. It hasn't arrived yet, but I spent a bunch of last night writing code to control it with an Arduino and my logic analyzer shows it should be working as expected. I've implemented a 5x7 font and QR code support so far. Now I just need to wait until it arrives to test it.

Whoops I ordered a ton of stuff from AliExpress.

*waits for the 10 packages to arrive*

Didn't watch WWDC and I'm installing iOS 12 and macOS 10.14, this is going to end well lol

@asonix I was looking up how to do something online and ran across a library you wrote haha https://github.com/asonix/actix-multipart

It's broken on Windows btw, probably because of os::unix::fs::DirBuilderExt

I've been attempting to learn Rust and it's ... interesting

Look at this amazing commission I got!!

Whoops I bought an i7-8700K and new motherboard >.>

It's crazy how it has 3x the threads of my previous CPU.

The spambots have really been loving this instance lately, huh.

Well this is slightly concerning, a whole bunch of new accounts registered from weird email addresses that haven't set any profile information or posted anything yet.

I wrote a thing about those acrylic LED badges I made, so many people at BLFC asked me where to buy one I'm going to have to take commissions or something for them.

These are looking pretty good tbh

Improved ones of those acrylic badge things including one for my boyfriend

6.5 million blocked requests in the past week :/

And that's not even including however many happened before I blocked their IPs

BLFC (https://www.goblfc.org/) is in less than two weeks and I'm so hyped

Someone has been trying to DoS https://mcapi.us for the past few weeks now and I'm up to 18 IPs blocked :v

Really need to automate blocking their IPs, they just flood it with requests for domains that don't even resolve. Probably wouldn't be hard to just block any IPs that request more than n invalid domains every x minutes

I love it when installers need to download and install an update in order to install the thing you downloaded it to install

Love doing a routine Docker upgrade and having everything explode for no reason
