Like it wasn’t enough with Arch, turned out I quite enjoy watching anime. Best thing is that I have two great advisers (12 and 17 yo) so I’ll never have to think about what to watch next.

A new version of the project "Home kiosk" is done! Currently running in the test mode. Pictures show v1.0 and v2.0 Transitioned from Raspberry Pi Pico 2W to Zero 2W running Linux. Output is a framebuffer on top of CLI, UI backend is based on Pillow. Wrote a small UI library, might put it on GitHub.

Major change in the design! Now using Raspi Pico W and 4 x SSD1306 OLED displays (128*32). I like the vibe of the OLED display, and look at those digits! It runs on MicroPython now while still experimenting with digits design, but the plan is to jump back to PIO and Pico without wireless support.

It shows time and has two buttons to set time manually. The initial idea was to make it "smart" with going online and use NTP and RTC and other stuff, but it was kinda fun to make it completely "mechanical" too so it only relies on millis(). I like the idea of "non-connected" electronics in general.

Started this small project to utilize two ST7735 displays connected to a single ESP32-S3 board. Might end up with some sort of Nixie clock. Need to buy two small glass jars for displays.

Nearly 150 Russian drones descended on Ukraine early Sunday, rattling Kyiv awake just after midnight to the boom of explosions, which killed three people and injured 10 — deepening tensions ahead of ceasefire talks continuing this week in Saudi Arabia.
