The rebellious urge to buy the latest Raspberry Pi and Flipper Zero because New York City mayoralty has banned them both. PS: I don't live in the U.S.A.

Got me a couple of new followers! =^/,..,^= Welcome to the chaos. /j No seriously. Welcome aboard, and enjoy your stay. 🖤 My page is a wee bit techie, a wee bit of fun, a wee bit metal af, and a wee bit Linuxy. Don't know where I'll take this, but let's have some fun along the way. =^/.~=

It's okay, you don't have to do engagement tricks and the commercialized shtick here; you can just be a person and post art, it's gonna be okay, it's gonna be alright I know twitter taught you this & sucked your soul out & art memes became the only way to communicate it's over now, you can be free

CRSF for Arduino is officially available to you in the PlatformIO Registry. I have released v2025.12.11 of CRSF for Arduino as a summary of the recent changes. This means CFA can be used in both Arduino IDE and PlatformIO properly. Details can be viewed here: github.com/ZZ-Cat/CRSFf...

CRSF for Arduino is now available for download via the Library Manager within the Arduino IDE. =^/,..,^= This is a huge milestone for me and CFA, as this is one more step towards making CFA more accessible to you all. I shall update CFA's documentation shortly.

I published a new release of my project CRSF for Arduino today. This was done in two-parts, where I was updating CFA's Library Properties. Over the coming 24~48 hours, CFA will be available to you in the Library Manager of the Arduino IDE for your use. =^/.^= github.com/ZZ-Cat/CRSFf...

I spotted an unofficial fork of my project CFA on the PlatformIO Registry. github.com/ZZ-Cat/CRSFf...

Today I deleted my Facebook page and removed the app from my phone. The only social media presence I have now is YouTube, Reddit, Discord, and here, and that is enough for me.

• "AI slop" ❌️ • Hybrid workflow that integrates AI at the start and all downstream refinements are human made ✅️ Yes, AI is a tool, and a tool is a tool, and a fool with a tool is still a fool. It does not matter the tools used to create something, as long as you are creating something.

Well, I definitely called it. This will have implications for my project CRSF for Arduino. I may need to consider rebranding it as something else now as Qualcomm are locking Arduino down. I hope I won't need to shut my project down altogether because of this. =-/.-= www.linkedin.com/posts/adafru...

This is a massive blow for trans rights here in Aotearoa. =-/.-=

1. New Zealand's right-wing govt has banned new prescriptions of puberty blockers in a major concession to its far-right flank. The move was to be announced by the health minister, but the far-right NZ First preempted it, calling it a "win in the war on woke." Subscribe to support our journalism.

It looks like Qualcomm's acquisition of Arduino may have implications for my project CRSFforArduino. Especially for the project's brand name. I don't know at this point. I'll see what happens first.

I have a new song in the works. Currently dicking around with writing/composing it in Guitar Pro (good way to get back into the swing of things, by the way). Let's see what becomes of this eh. =^/.~=

This is how I feel about CFA, sometimes.

Got myself a fret-wrap to clean up my sound. Now, I don't need to work so damned hard to mute strings that aren't being played, plus I can hear what I am playing more clearly—especially when I'm monitoring my sound through my headphones while practising.

Imagine believing skill issues are evidence you should stop. What happened to learning, right? 🤷‍♀️

New release of CFA is out! Get it while it's hot. github.com/ZZ-Cat/CRSFf...

Okay. It's official. I am smitten by today's recording tech. #JacksonGuitars #Focusrite #Guitarix #KDE #KDEPlasma #PipeWire #OpenSource #Metal #MetalMusic

Rest in peace, Ozzy. =T/.T=

A word to the porn bots trying to follow me on this platform: **Don't.** I have carried my long-standing policy over from Facebook and Reddit: If I have reason to believe your page and the content on your page is illegitimate, you're blocked. No exceptions. I don't tolerate bullshit.

I broke my glasses the other day. Today when I had them resting on top of my head, they fell off and hit the concrete, and whatever was hanging by a thread broke clean apart. Now, I am currently repairing the damage, and need to wait 48 hours for the epoxy adhesive to cure.

Me, when I am flying one of my drones—specifically one of my helicopters.

I got the ball rolling again for the [Version 1.1.0 Development](github.com/ZZ-Cat/CRSFf...) branch of my mainline project CRSFforArduino; starting things off with [containerising my project](github.com/ZZ-Cat/CRSFf...).

I did some stuff in Reaper and some dicking around with my new patch bay. Now, I have ZERO EXCUSES to NOT finish writing my Guitar Pro tabs and ZERO EXCUSES to NOT practice playing my guitar. ...and when I get around to it... ZERO EXCUSES to NOT put it up here and on YouTube. =^/.~=

What the fuck is the French government thinking? =/)/.-= Just more out-of-touch politicians doing out-of-touch politician things.

Some more singing practice from yours truly. AvataR's "Paint Me Red" from their Black Waltz album is one of my personal favourites of theirs. This is me singing the chorus to Paint Me Red by AvataR. 🖤❤️ #AvataR #AvatarMetal #Metal #MetalVocals #Covers #MetalCovers

Two days ago my Boss GX-10 arrived, today I installed Reaper on my EndeavourOS rig (that I am currently testing until the end of September), and did some recordings of my guitar to demonstrate to myself what's possible with the tech I have on hand, and I gotta say... it's incredible. =^/.^=

Don't mind me, having a wee bit of fun with my voice - practising singing one of my favourite AvataR songs "House of Eternal Hunt" from their "Feathers & Flesh" album. #AvataR #AvatarMetal #Metal #MetalVocals #PowerMetal

Chocolate rabbits. =^/.~= Happy Easter, everyone.

Wow. As if I didn't already have enough reasons to favour Bluesky and Discord. =-/.-= www.pcgamer.com/hardware/mar...

Getting some practice in. 🤘🏳️‍⚧️ #JacksonGuitars #Metal #MetalGuitar #TransPride #TransPrideNZ

Say what you will about vibe coding. I don't care. It works very well for me on days that I experience heavy brain fog (as a result of my rheumatoid arthritis), but still want to write code for any of my projects. I also use it to draft up ideas, and refine from there.

The blue stripe returns.

I have put Winry back onto INAV, after using Betaflight for a few months and we'll see how she flies... PFA: 2023 pic of Winry sitting on my laptop's riser. #Drones #FPV #INAV #INAVFlight

Summer is here in Aotearoa, and that means it's time to fly... I am a tad rusty, so I am currently relearning everything and getting used to how my drones fly again. Makes me realise how much I have missed doing this. #Drones #FPV #RCHelicopters #KeepRCHelisAlive

Yesterday, I did a short test flight with Sieglinde, my little OMPHOBBY M2 V2 drone, after she had been in storage for nearly three years. I upgraded her receiver to ExpressLRS last year, and she still flies incredibly well. =^/.^=

What a breath of fresh air this platform is. I've come over from Facebook. I did have a Twitter page, but I shut that down back when Musk was still buying Twitter - I dodged a massive bullet, by the look of things. All in all, I am glad to be here, and I look forward to what this platform becomes.
