OK hold on. So they want to buy it? So how about this: instead of selling, rent it for 99 years. That's a standard thing, allowing to re-discuss the fees again and so forth. This is phase one. Phase two is what to do with the money, and that I would only disclose to the top Danish authorities.

Don’t forget

the heat is on! just for a little while to test, though. #gpu #pytorch #kubernetes

In case anyone's interested, this: suyog942.medium.com/my-gpu-time-... works nicely with MicroK8s, on RTX3060 12GB memory is the limit and you can't run more than two pods in parallel as you get OOM errors from TensorFlow, but two can run just fine! #gpu #kubernetes #microk8s

Inside of you there are two wolves...

soundcloud.com/wax-poetics/... I realized that I've been doing it in reverse: when people heard those golden era hip-hop records in the 90s, they'd be like "hey I know this sample, it's ...". In 2025 I'm like, hey I know this, Camp Lo/ATCQ/EPMD/... used it! Go check out the breaks.

I had to use the "pro" mode on the phone cam to tweak the white balance and exposure a little, but it shows the effect I'm after: the colors of our old Sanyo VCRs displays :) I had to make a small change in the "data viz" due to the limited color palette: Air Quality "excellent" and "good" are now

What would make it perfect (in my head) is the red-orange "rosso Alberti" from the Lancia Ypsilon palette and some fanci(er) wheels. I really like the Betas!

This appeared on the external mailbox at the post office: a big epaper display with environmental data. Where does it come from I don't know, but the description says that it doesn't replace the official ARPA (environment protection agency) data, so I suppose that the sensor is somewhere by the box.

An 812 for those who celebrate. It's quite bizarre to see it next to a 595 Abarth, I mean the size. On a side note, I lost track of new things and had to run an image search to properly identify it. WTF? #ferrari cc @creatinglightly.art @petrospect.blog @midnightdorifto.bsky.social

The uFerris has arrived! 🦀 These two PCBs snap together and can host one of many @seeedstudio.com Xiao / @adafruit.com QtPy boards as MCU. Thank you @theembeddedrust.bsky.social for letting me test it 🎉 I hope to get to it ASAP and report back with some demo code 🤖 #rustlang #embedded

and the devil is like "not cool, bro!"

OK, I keep thinking about nicely describing all my tinkering shenanigans in a series of great blog posts, but who am I kidding... So I will quickly describe this one here, for those who might be curious. It runs on a Xiao ESP32S3. I tried with C3 but couldn't compile some dependencies of ratatui,

www.creativebloq.com/art/animatio... I hereby declare this ad very cute. I am also quite convinced that this wolf is Denis from Boris Vian's short story "Le loup-garou" about a wolf bitten by a human under the full moon, with amusing and confusing consequences.

hey, it's #ratatui on Hackaday! 🐀

It started as a side effect, but I kinda like this idea of a passive buzzer connected to the reset pin of the display 😀 My tiny display clicks, which is especially funny when some digits change, it's like those old arrivals/departures boards at the airports, sort of.

got mouse(food)? Xiao ESP32S3 with 1.8'' ST7735 TFT display (for some reason can't get the bigger ILI9xxx version to work), BME280 and ENS160. I modified the example from here esp32.implrust.com/ratatui/hell..., with the sensor reading and calibration done as embassy tasks, meanwhile the display

One non-obvious take from re-watching "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt": all of those nonsensical humanoid robots everyone seems to be presenting for no reason should have "lamp mode", like C.H.E.R.Y./L. did.

Interesting side effect: I have one of those cheap TFT displays, specifically a 1.8'' ST7735, connected to a Xiao ESP32S3, using the Xiao Expansion Board. I just realized that I used the A3/GPIO3 pin for reset, and on the expansion board it's connected to the built-in buzzer. Now every time

It's not very pretty, but it (finally) works 🙃 I used a 5x7 cm protoboard, as it fits perfectly into the Kradex Z123 sensor enclosure. It's a PCF8563 RTC (for which I now have my own async driver, too!), and three female headers: for ENS160, BME280 and a Sparkfun Qwiic connector board.

As a European I sure hope that our leaders remember this simple fact: Leonid Muskov is not an elected official, nor a diplomat.

somehow I managed to attach an SMD JTAG header to the Adafruit Feather RP2040 and now it's doing some Neopixel rainbow thing while printing messages over J-Link with probe-rs, which is pretty, pretty, pretty nice.

this song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDUO... has been haunting me since I've heard it on the French Manucure mixtape, and of course I started thinking how it would be so great in a slow rolling cool car, but they beat me to it as there's what looks like a 635CSi in the video 😍

OK, so I told two friends that a devops favorite dog would be a docker spaniel, and they politely said it was pretty funny, not sure what to think but hey, will share here, too. A docker spaniel, get it?

Looks like the real deal, not some badge+bodykit kinda thing 🤔 #e36 #m3 @creatinglightly.art @midnightdorifto.bsky.social

I got my first @seeedstudio.com Xiao board (ESP32S3) in the new packaging and absolutely love this new round "jar" 🙃 Idea: make the bottom in translucent, not transparent plastic, so it could be reused with some RGB LED ring as mood light :)

How about Rust for real-time applications? @diondokter.nl gets you started: buff.ly/g8qruby #rustlang #embedded

I really, really like tinkering with Embassy on #esp32, and it's mainly thanks to these two sources: esp32.implrust.com/index.html and blog.theembeddedrustacean.com/series/rust-... Now that I got the idea on how to put things together, I can actually think what logic is the best for my use case 🙃

I’ve said this every month for a year.

So I'm saving TinyFlux data to an SD card with embedded #rustlang. How did I get TinyFlux to work in embedded Rust? I didn't, I'm totally fakin' it by saving specifically formatted lines to a text file. But TinyFlux will happily working with that because TinyFlux is great #python #tinyflux

www.ekologia.pl/wiadomosci/z... I like this story a lot. Some dude in Warsaw called the "eco-patrol" about bats on his balcony, and the approx. 20 bats were literally filling the old sneakers he left on said balcony. They were taken to the city forest where they'll be able to peacefully hibernate

On the plus side, I got some first code for RP2350 with Embassy. @raspberrypi.com Pico Debug Probe + @seeedstudio.com Xiao Expansion Board are a great combo for some #rustlang tinkering 🦀

Well, I really like my #rustlang contraption, sending SEN54 data to my small webapp, but I have no clue how to fix the issues it's having with random frequency. It's all about WiFi, at some point I get the RX_QUEUE_FULL warnings from the esp_hal crate, but I don't understand how this whole

Don't fake the funk or yer nose will grow, they say. but this guy, he ain't fakin' it! #jamiroquai The Heels of Steel 2025 tour, Milan. Super groovy!

It turns out that Sensirion SEN54 sensor is used in the IKEA's VINDSTYRKA air quality monitoring device. A common hack is to put an ESP32 inside, connecting the exposed I2C points to push the sensor data to some website etc. So without really trying I sort of replicated this device, skipping the

OK, this is super weird. Color me puzzled. I put together this #embedded #rustlang code on ESP32C3/C6 (tested on both) with Embassy, using a Sensirion SEN54 sensor to send data to my REST API. Here's the weird part: the code works, it sends data, but.. the data is wrong. Wrong as in "6553.5" values

How about a movie called "Mon ami Citroen"? 🙃

It may not look like much but: the OLED is displaying data received in from my web app's REST API. The board is @seeedstudio.com Xiao ESP32C6, running #embedded #rustlang with Embassy. The carrier board is from Tindie. cc @theembeddedrust.bsky.social @astrakernel.bsky.social @therustybits.com

As much as I bitch about this phone, including the camera being super slow sometimes or saying "processing...", sometimes it does a good job.

TFW you forget to add the division by 1_000_000_000 that was in the original function, push the data to Prometheus and all of a sudden your Grafana chart shows "10 ZB" in an S3 bucket :D Exa-ggerated-scale.

liminal spaces but we're not out the woods yet

Hmmm, is there something special about I2C on the ESP32C6? I tried to port this code to the @seeedstudio.com Xiao ESP32C6, used the GPIO numbers provided in the wiki, but... the I2C device won't start. Tried with other devices tested on C3, same thing. But SPI works perfectly fine 🤔

It's pretty gloomy out there, some drizzle, but a seagull just shouted something, probably "where's the sea" or similar, and it's time for this: soundcloud.com/dvsnme/post-...

I checked my photo roll and here are some of the cars that I see out and about every now and then. There's definitely a strong vintage Lancia presence!

github.com/nebelgrau77/... Tinkering with #embedded #rustlang embassy framework and #esp32 is fun 🙃 And the @seeedstudio.com Xiao ESP32C3 with the Xiao expansion board are a perfect platform. Got a DFRobot ENS160 sensor breakout board and a single WS2812 connected, works pretty well. No photo ATM.
