Updating my LEGO White House

My daughter Jadzia, who died in 2020, had Marfan Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder which affected her heart. For this 5th anniversary, we're raising money for the Marfan Foundation in Jadzia's honor. Would you support us? give.marfan.org/team/777133 We have raised $660 — can we break $1,000?

Trump is literally destroying the White House. After promising that his absurd $250M ballroom wouldn't interfere with the existing structure, he lied and is destroying the White House. Wealth & income inequality is at record highs in America, but glad we're spending $250M on a vanity project.

When I was diagnosed with T1D in 2002 while still in college, I remember the diabetic educator telling me in the hospital that I was fortunate to have this particular incurable disease because a vial of insulin only cost about $50 over the counter.

White supremacy is when Republican men and women in their 20s & 30s praising Hitler, genocide, and rape are “just kids”—but 18-year-old Michael Brown was no angel, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was a thug, 16-year-old Kalief Browder was a criminal, and 12-year-old Tamir Rice should’ve known better.😐

3 of my 5 hygrometers in my AMS units were low on battery. So I figured I'd swap out all the desiccant while I'm replacing the batteries. This is a bigger #3Dprinting maintenance task than I expected!

An 84TB USB DAS can be had for $1,156 on Amazon today. It'll just take a little bit of drive shucking and *maybe* some Kapton tape on the SATA 3.3v pin. 1. 6x WD 14TB USB HDD ($169/ea) : amzn.to/4h3qqgv 2. 6 Bay Hard Drive Enclosure ($139): amzn.to/4q0qjX6

Today I will be walking with my kids in memory of my daughter Jadzia at the St. Louis Walk for Victory. Jadzia had Marfan Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder which affected her heart. Your gift could save lives and improve the quality of life for people like her. give.marfan.org/team/777133

Appreciate all the sponsors and booths at the Texas Linux Fest, but have to give the award for most fun booths to @briancmoses.com and the Taris-esque DIY NAS and 3D-Printing setup and @frame.work for having their hardware on display. Great stuff!

Here's Isaiah, the lucky winner of the #DIY #NAS: 2025 Texas Linux Fest Edition! Congratulations!

Everybody's gathered around the booth waiting for the announcement of the DIY NAS: 2025 Texas Edition a few moments ago at #TXLF

I'm neglecting my eBay store while I'm at Texas Linux Festival. Anybody who places an order this weekend gets 10% off

Thanks for stopping by! We enjoyed talking about 3D-printing!

The booth is open! People are checking out the #DIY #NAS. And Pat's A1 Mini is cranking out some SWAG! # TXLF

We're well on our way to Texas Linux Festival! #TXLF

I'm going to be at 2025's Texas Linux Fest the next few days. I've launched a 10% off sale on my eBay store to thank the folks who patiently wait for me to get home and fulfill their orders! www.ebay.com/str/briancmo...

Due to retaliatory tariffs, US soybean sales to China have gone from over 6 million tons to zero. Are we winning yet?

That is pretty awesome. Will be at TXLF and try to check it out in person.

I built a Texas Linux Fest themed #DIY #NAS to showcase in our booth at the festival this week. If you want to learn more about the NAS, I shared some details on my blog. But I'd rather tell you about them in person later this week! Come check it out at TXLF! blog.briancmoses.com/2025/09/diy-...

Yesterday's unfortunate discovery of a #3Dprinting omission put the kibosh on finishing this #diynas. But it won't stop me from hooking everything up and to start putting it through some burn-in testing!

I am so jealous of this oblivious pile of fluff.

I am bringing my #DIY #NAS shenanigans to Texas Linux Fest 2025 and I'll have a surprise for its attendees! 2025.texaslinuxfest.org

Try something different this Sunday — connect to a BBS! I recommend my BBS, Guardian of Forever, but there's plenty to visit ... nearly 1,000 are listed on www.telnetbbsguide.com/bbs/list/bri... ! To get the best old-school experience, use a terminal like SyncTerm (syncterm.bbsdev.net).

Thread… I’ve grown up in Chicagoland since the 1980s. As Trump plans to ransack our city & region with illegal military occupation, here are 3 facts he & most of corporate media won’t bother to address—because doing so would undermine Trump’s entire fascist narrative to enable autocratic rule. 1/5

Like, leftists aren't ceasing to be friends with people just b/c they hold different views on taxation levels. The line is almost always a disagreement over fundamental human rights & treating others with dignity

I'm dorking out this morning reading an article written 2019 about an old BBS game called "Trade Wars 2001" which i remember playing back in middle school. This game was actually pretty awesome. Long before MMOs and online gaming, there was this... breakintochat.com/blog/2019/07...

My #DIY #NAS building is so extra! The first thing I did with makerunit's #3Dprinted 12-bay ATX case is to squeeze an extra 3 drives into the case by using 3.5"-to-2.5" drive adapters. blog.briancmoses.com/2025/08/a-3d...

The theme of tonight's North Texas Makers meeting is 3D-printing, so I'm taking a few things to show off! #diynas #esp32 #bananaforscale

If Denver is a "southern" city then I think @theathletic.com 's writers and editors were busy getting high during their geography lessons and I we shouldn't be bothered to click the link and read their article.

I'm worried that Hank's app being a phenomenon will lead to him believing his 1,000 other business ideas are also good.

-Carry a gun everywhere because the idea of interacting with anyone they don't know is terrifying -"Back the Blue" unless the other side votes for them -Throw Goddamn temper tantrums like a child when they have to get a vaccine

Republicans are such big tough individuals that they: -Have to rig the maps even worse and get bailed out by billionaires to win elections -Completely abandon the ability to think to AI and their goons in the administration -Absolutely shit their pants at the idea of being alone in a diverse city
