After years of anticipation and excitement, my Flipper Zero has arrived! Software is still early yet, so I haven’t done much more than clone and store RFID, NFC, and IR signals. i am excited to see the interesting things me and my new dolphin friend will get up too.
I’ve kept working on my garden. i have this sweet Home Assistant panel. I am still working on automation, but integration is coming along nicely. I am using Home Assistant as my platform. Most of my garden sensors are command line sensors. I even figured out what i was doing wrong with command line switches (using capital letters). Now that I have had my camera in place long enough, I have a pretty decent test time lapse.

Mama Musubi is something I’ve loved from my farmers market for years. Unfortunately it was shuddered during the pandemic and still has not returned to my market. They did open up in a shared kitchen of sorts in Pasadena called Kitchen United. It was to this location that my desperation would bring me. The spot is mostly for delivery drivers and doesn’t have much for customer service. The menu is a little different from what was offered and entered by app or kiosk. It was amazing to enjoy after the long absence, but not exactly the same thing i was craving. Maybe i’ll try them at one of the other markets where they still operate.
EDIT 2024 (March 29):
It appears even this site is now gone. ?
It was a bit more of a pain than i remember it being back in college. After a subtle inspiration from @stroughtonsmith. I now have BeOS VM. there is an option to play connect four while installing (an unusual feature).
My 3D printer has been sitting half disassembled and sad in the corner of my office for weeks. A simple latch thwarting my repair. I finally sorted it out this week and it’s been printing nearly nonstop! i can even change filament mid print! watch live be3n.com/3D
May your Pi Day be a circle of success.
Nothing like Tacos and a hike in LA!
I sealed the electronics behind a some plastic and weather stripping. Upgraded the solar panel and the reservoir. sensors are collecting data and i can even make some pretty graphs. Plants seem to be thriving.
I have implemented a test irrigation system using a solar pond pump. My sunniest balcony has no power and I always forget to water. Now i just need an alert when the reservoir is getting low.
One of my older Trezor’s had a little hardware issue (USB port broke off). when i went to look for my paper backup, it was not where i expected. With no backup, I had no way to transfer the coins or tokens. This is essentially how coins get burned. Without access to the key, they aren’t your coins. it would be a shame to loose these assets, so i sought out a solution.
Luckily, i had some expert help. my guy, referred me to his guy. amazing work. Huge thanks to Bill, for averting catastrophe. now i am putting my new paper backup somewhere safe. (and somewhere else, also safe)
