I've noticed a squirrel occasionally coming through the garden and I wanted to capture it.

Don't pick random subnets to avoid IP address conflicts on foreign networks, use VRFs!

Building a brower game inspired by drawing a PCB in KiCad

There's steady progress towards Megapixels 2.0 Alpha 2 with a lot of small improvements, but there's also a massive roadblock introduced by the GTK developers...

It's a bit more than a month after FOSDEM now. The few bits of hardware I designed for the video capture boxes for the event held up great. I realized I never wrote a blog post about it so here it is.

Just before the end of the year I managed to get BodgeOS to a graphical desktop environment.

Finally after a lot of work I felt it was a good idea to close off this year by tagging the first actual release of the Megapixels 2.0 codebase.

Continuing on my December puzzle of building a toy Linux distribution from scratch. This time getting it to boot up on an actual computer instead of just a container.

A few days ago I got a new laptop and once again had to make a choice of what distribution to install

Building my own replacement for my InfluxDB and Prometheus setups

I've had a janky setup to store data from my "smart" energy meter for a while now. But now I have made a neat finished product from it.

Generating OpenSCAD cases from KiCad PCB files with a bit of Python code and magic.

The last two weeks in Megapixels: Contributors

As projects get more complicated the tooling has to improve. Outgrowing the arduino-ide is easy on the Pi Pico with the excelent pico-sdk but what if things get even more complicated...

sudo chroot without sudo... and mostly without the chroot

Making the pictures from Megapixels look a bit less vintage

The dilemma of releasing a half-working library early to promote contributions.

So this is the (looks at notes) 9th! blog post about the progress in Megapixels development. In this episode: White-balance and SEGFAULTs!

MNT Research is an open hardware manufacturer based in Germany. I'll have a look at their open standalone keyboard.

I did a deep dive in Linux logging protocols for writing logbookd. Here are some of the results.

Let's dive a bit deeper in the config files and how to make them and more importantly, how to sustain this.
