CLI, nvimdiff 90% of the time. If I’m on a windows workstation, I might end up using git extensions GUI as it helps me visualize what’s happening a little better sometimes.

All IoT devices should be on their own LAN segment already with no WAN access. It’s the first rule of having IoT devices. If you need remote access, VPN securely. There is no other way to do it safely.

It’s a feature and it’s also ok to choose to use it.

The Floppy Emu device for interfacing microSD cards with old Apple II hardware has an addon product you can buy that places a large relay between the Floppy Emu and the Apple II. The relay is hooked up to the data lines (decoupled though so it’s safe) so reading / writing will generate remarkably realistic sounds, especially if you house the device inside the computer’s enclosure where it muffles and colors the clicking sound. It’s so no necessary yet it totally is.

Yes mathematically it scales perfectly. Except in the end it still gets rasterized. Because you have carrying line thicknesses in the icons themselves, it’s important to check how the icons look at common scales / sizes on a regular monitor resolutions such as 1080p, 1440p, and 4k.

No no, I understand what it shows. I’m suggesting the blended version looks nice and could be an extra option.

Could be useful to check scaling. How’s it look really small to really large. Might help inform some of the line work decisions. Looks nice with all the colors!

Also, the way you present the bottom row with a blended gradient, might be its own nice set, preserving the blending so each icon has a bit of multiple colors to it.

28 Days Later also used one of the first digital-only production cameras Sony put out at the time. It’s something the director does and it’s kinda neat. This is why there’s no real high quality versions of 28 Days, but it’s also kinda why it has more charm.

Thank you! This is a wonderful post, I will take another shot this weekend and hopefully something will stick this time :)

Any advice? I’m trying to get a handle on it but I’m having trouble remembering anything or finding what to do in the first place.

Jetbrains Rider for C# and VSCodium for arduino / microcontroller programming.

I’m trying to learn my way around the tmux + neovim life but the learning curve might be too much for me.

Just a reminder that as long as you don’t need any kind of platform hosting or complex multi-user setup, git itself works fine on a remote machine as your server, even just on LAN. (As always, just setup an ssh key on the two machines so ssh commands are secure and don’t require passwords all the time)

> cd /my/repos
> ssh user@10.x.y.z ‘mkdir /home/user/repos/new_repo.git && cd $_ && git init --bare’
> git clone user@10.x.y.z:/home/user/repos/new_repo.git

What about a hard drive made of network pings?

I will always recommend Ben Eater’s breadboard computer 6502 project for anyone who wants to know how it works. The 8-bit breadboard computer project as the next step too, to really dive into all the pieces. But the 6502 project is a nice entry point into hardware itself as well as the basic components of processor and memory. How and what the 1s and 0s are doing and how to make them do what you want them to do. Getting up to a working character display and serial input for a keyboard to type is such a satisfying process that takes only a few hours if you kinda know what you’re doing and a few days if you know nothing.

Hopefully they accept the drives with holes drilled in them.

As an engineer, I’m not looking forward to the entire generation(s?) of vibe coders who couldn’t explain what a byte is and the ways one might be stored on a system.

Why is adding a button a problem for those who don’t want to pay for it? It’s not like the button is in the way or used in any game for anything else… why do we have to complain about a harmless button that isn’t even branded??

Don’t ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone for any reason ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you’ve been… ever, for any reason whatsoever…
