Last spring I was laid off from my job. Went all-in as a stay-at-home dad and also started volunteering at my daughter’s school. I’m back at work but still volunteering. I decided that if I won the lottery there’s still nothing else I’d rather do. And the amazing part is that I can do it now anyway!

Every once in a while I wake up at 3 AM thinking how there might be an old battery leaking and destroying my Amiga 500 mainboard. I finally got around to cracking it open today and was happy to see no battery at all! 🌙🥰💾❤️

The plan was to replace the radiator in my parents’ 2015 Sonic and drive it home (for my teenager to have) on Friday before the snowstorm hit. The car is finally fixed but I’m still here. ☃️❄️😁

If you hold this in your hand, the joystick is surprisingly smooth and responsive, like the analog stick on a modern controller. The button position sucks though—too close to the stick.

Serial HAT for Raspberry Pi
Oh man, I could have bolted a DIN rail to my butcher block desk! I just have my cluster sitting on the desk top. I built this during the summer, and it has been a great home tiny lab. I just got this serial communications HAT to play with next.

The hornets DID return this summer! My daughter found their nest today in a new tree. I’ve been walking under this branch all summer, oblivious to the fact that a hornets’ nest was only 18” above my head! I need to figure out how to preserve the nest this winter. Anyone know how?

14.05.2025 17:44 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0While earlier versions of Raspberry Pi were not camera shy, Upton said that the issue relates to a photoelectric effect on the device's U16 processor core power regulator. The bare silicon die is hit by the high-intensity light and the semiconductor material emits electrons, causing the device to power down. "Silicon junctions (the types that are responsible for making diodes and transistors and other such electronic miracles function) can be 'upset' by this photoelectric effect if it is large enough (i.e. if enough light of the right energy [i.e. colour] is fired at them),"
This is fascinating!

This should be 12V DC?!
A working 12.8V DC power supply for comparison.
My internet stopped working today. I power-cycled the cable modem, but it didn’t work and I noticed a periodic high pitch whine coming from the modem. I tried a different power supply, and the problem was fixed. Curious, I put the scope on the bad supply. Whoa, that’s not right for 12V DC!!
