Thanks to the exceptional work by justcallmekoko, RogueMaster, and many others there is now native flipper support for the unofficial Marauder firmware for the Flipper dev-board. Marauder is firmware for the ESP-32 chipset full of security tools for bluetooth and wifi. The Flipper dev board doesn’t support bluetooth, but the wifi tools work and are usable from the flipper itself. I cannot wait to see what comes next.
I managed to get a few pretty cool pictures with my iPhone. We even made a sort of camera obscura and projected the moon onto a piece of paper.
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.

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
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)
Continuing my security certificate mission, I’ve set my SSL sites on Security Onion. The certs are stored here: /etc/pki/ adding, renaming, and symlinking a few files here was most of the work. then update url_base.
I made that and some other changes to:
/opt/so/saltstack/local/pillar/global.sls
Excited to have some real power in this tiny package. should i use it for image processing? i’m tempted to make this my new camera pi.
