Unexpected benefit of running a Gitea instance in my k8s cluster: I get an OCI container registry to host container images within the cluster. #gitea #kubernetes

@tobru, your post about Gitea Actions container builds was really helpful and introduced me to the drivers in buildx. Thanks! https://www.tobru.ch/gitea-actions-container-builds/ #gitea #kubernetes #buildx

Sometimes I read things written (ostensibly) by people trying to make a point about a solution they came up with to a problem they had, but the solution seems dubious and the problem is poorly defined (or completely misunderstood) […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

Whoa, my flexible LED strip lamp models have gotten way more views and downloads on #thingiverse than anything else I've shared. https://thzinc.com/2025/11/21/ikea-smasnore-inspired-flexible-led-strip-lamp.html #maker #led #lamp #3dprinting

I'm trying to work through a MicroCeph (and Rook) installation on my #minirack and I feel like I'm losing my mind. The #ceph docs are a mix of nearly-trivial and extremely-complicated configurations.

Also starting to collect my posts about my #minirack at https://thzinc.com/Mini%20rack/

I've been tinkering with booting Ubuntu 24.04 LTS from NVMe on my Pi 5, but had been running into a kernel panic that was really unintuitive to diagnose. Turns out, the Pi 5's EEPROM was old and updating to latest solved my issue […]

I think I'm addicted to assembling uniforms for nuns... it's habit forming

All I wanted to do was use SendBulkTemplatedEmail, #LocalStack. Now I'm cloning the repo to look at adding it myself...

I really like writing recommendations and bragging on the fantastic people I've worked with. The puzzle of trying to effectively communicate how an acquaintance is awesome is a pretty good challenge.

I had the pleasure today of introducing someone to the topic of scrip and the history of company script being used to devalue and control labor.

I was looking around for Tiltify fees and came across their LA wildfire relief case study, which ends with this wild call to action: > Ready to ignite your revenue? Like, this is questionable language for a CTA in any context, but feels pretty tone deaf at the […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

I wrote up the design and build process for my IKEA SMÅSNÖRE-inspired flexible LED strip lamp, which inspired me to create this ridiculous collage. Many words and even more pictures at https://thzinc.com/2025/11/21/ikea-smasnore-inspired-flexible-led-strip-lamp.html #maker #electronics #3dprinting

Hanging out at the antifa monument this morning

Ooooh, my LED strip lamp is assembled and works great! It produces a nice diffuse arc of light around a work area, and is flexible and movable and dimmable 😁

Today was a good crafting day. I printed and assembled the base of an LED lamp I’ve been designing and I finally sewed a lining for a bag my wife knitted and for which she has been waiting patiently. #electronics #3dprinting #sewing

Ok, my social battery is just about drained. In the past week, I've done #supercon, a js.la lunch, and today the maker meetup at Laura Kampf's studio. All good stuff, but this introvert is done for a bit...

I'm back to doing some coding in #golang and remembering how lovely it is to do write tests with ultra fast test coverage feedback. Test writing becomes a practice of "figure out how to make the lines of code green."

Boom, 1st of 4 done.

There were a number of cool badge cases at Supercon this year. @thzinc kinda vaporwave case was really cool in person. Also here's @geekmomprojects 's Souis Cuitton purse and ageppert's Speak&Spell

Fantastic #supercon this year. I didn’t hack on my badge much beyond putting it into an illuminated case, but I had a lot of really enjoyable talks with people. I’m really looking forward to tinkering with this badge in the coming weeks…

Had a good time with Rust at @shawnhymel ’s Embedded Rust workshop at #supercon. Finally had some reason to do some semi-practical Rust development!

Also, many thanks to @adistuder for sharing his LEDomologist SAO with me. It’s delightful! #supercon

Today was a great first day of #supercon! Excited for this weekend! https://thzinc.com/2025/10/31/hackaday-superconference-2025-days-7-through-1-design-by-contract.html

I just wrote ~1,100 words on why a data center shouldn't be built in a particular neighborhood (nor really any neighborhood).

This week, I encountered the SMÅSNÖRE (https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/smasnoere-led-decorative-light-dimmable-adjustable-color-50597243/) light at IKEA and fell in love with the bendy half-desk toy, half configurable work area light. (Think soldering, assembly […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

After spending entirely too much time reading up on the Frawework & Omarchy stuff, I was having a really hard time understanding why Framework would bother gifting hardware to DHH for what seems to be a niche Linux distro. I think it's because DHH is trying to standardize 37Signals on his own […]

I always enjoy when my wife makes a #3dprinting request. She knitted an "Elt-hen John" #emotionalsupportchicken, but wanted some appropriately-flamboyant glasses for the chicken to wear. Now I'm just waiting for the print to complete so I can hand these to her for bedazzling... #knitting #maker

Having some fun with #weirdweboctober2025 by making dumb little games. I borrowed some inspiration from the Observation Duty games for today's "Blink" prompt: https://thzinc.com/2025/10/09/weird-web-october-2025-blink.html
