Which is: ENS160 air quality measuring, with the sensor being calibrated with measurements from BME280, Air Quality Index being shown with a color of some WS2812 LEDs, and all data saved to a microSD card for some further analysis. Awesome 🦀 stuff!

The first one could also be an X-files episode, just sayin' 🙃

Sometimes wasting time is absolutely necessary, you're both right.

in fact they were sort of doing that already, but not fully asleep, so the guy just gave up on the shoes so that the wardens could take the whole "bunch" without disturbing the bats too much. 🦇 To quote the classic, "it was the Batman".

OK cool! 😊

so... how to get a wallpaper then? 🙃

yeah, that seems to be VPN. no problem at all on my regular machine.
November 18, 2025 at 5:24 PM
I am using a VPN, I will try later from my own machine and let you know.

I honestly don't mind people doing whatever when they're already in that line. That's moving forward, one way or the other. What really grinds my gears, though, are damn zombies walking around as if it was some kind of interactive self-service commerce museum, wondering what all this stuff is 😵

all these are returning 403. I know that there are some Cloudflare outages today but this doesn't seem like it. It's like various redirections on the site return this.

Hmmm, I would love to have a wallpaper like this but how? So: I went you your website and signed up for the newsletter. But when I click on, say, Artwork or Store, I get the 403 error. What am I doing wrong? 🤔

wifi transmission works and what exactly is happening. Maybe one day, but for now the idea of sending data to REST API from my Rust-y ESP32 is still at a very early beta stage. It works, but then it stops and I have no clue, why. But maybe some sort of a watchdog is the solution?

right... 🥸 nah, I have two smaller ones, B/W and a smaller tri-color with red. just need to get to work on that.

IKEA hack part 🙃 One thing VINDSTYRKA has and my contraption doesn't is a display, but this is going to be the next step, some nice ePaper. Stay tuned.

Lowering the frequency to 100 kHz did the trick. I also thought about doing something like this:

let sda = Output::new(peripherals.GPIO5, Level::High, OutputConfig::default().with_pull(esp_hal::gpio::Pull::Up));

but I can't pass this to .with_sda().

Thanks! I will see how it goes, but I can tell from my little REST API that it's been working fine with that "additional sensor hack". Definitely need to try combining lower bus speed with pullups turned on, etc.
