Huge huge fan of ESP32s over Arduino/RPi/etc for any/all projects where I can do so. I’ve probably got 15-20 ESP32 projects around the house, and have done somewhere around 80-100 for other people. Arduino does a great job wi

It’s just fun. I have zero religious background nor do any of my family yet we bloody love Christmas. Decorating the house, lights in the yard, seasonal food that you don’t eat at other times (you “could” but having it only at Christmas is

I don’t know a single person who still used a real tree. The artificial ones look incredible these days and are infinitely more sustainable, less messy, look better longer, and can be chosen to suit the room perfectly. If you’re a nerd like

That’s such an incredible end result. I’ve done dozens of WLED projects now for myself and clients, and it never ceases to amaze me the cool stuff people come up with.

Depending on the placement you’re after you can quite literally hot glue it, or use 3M command tape, or fabricate a little bracket/housing using hobbyist plastics or wood. Hot glue is probably the most common method since if done tidil

Yes, same is it’d be illegal for me to break into your house and steal something you stole off me. The “act” is illegal no matter the reasoning. The reasoning would probably have influence on how hard you were punished though.

I’m a big fan of OpenMPT, it’s the closest thing to a modern Impulse Tracker I’ve found (or at least that I’ve “clicked” with). I’m a life-long casual when it comes to music making and don’t feel the need to go and learn big modern DAWs so

I’m physically disabled and have various mental issues (ASD, ADHD, Bipolar, and some other minor things, all diagnosed). In Australia I find our medical system to be incredibly supportive of disabled people as long as you don’t go to the “b

Blogspam site. 80%+ of the page is ads, surrounding a paragraph of text which seems to be AI generated and sources another blogspam site.

A lot of my family/friends use Telegram, it's about as close to old-school IMs as you can get these days. I like it, but I spend most my time on Discord as I prefer the IRC-style "browse servers and channels" idea.

There's aftermarket PDMs and BCUs and all those parts already. That's how most people are doing motor swaps on modern cars. It's not a simple job, but it's also not the most difficult. Just a lot more wiring than the mot

Meanwhile the OP post is so full of ads you’re basically scrolling past a full-screen (on mobile) ad for every paragraph. Then when I came across a chunk of text without ads and thought it was over, an ad got dynamically loaded into the mid

I also had a .beat watch and absolutely loved it. I even had the program that changed your Windows system clock to use .beat time. I was convinced they were onto something huge and it was going to be the future... it was fun while it lasted

ABC Kids is awesome. Such a great service and every single show in there is either educational or ridiculously cute.

I spent a solid month trying to switch from Fusion 360 to FreeCAD (as a hobbyist maker) and while I got to the point where I could pretty much make anything I needed… it never stopped being a struggle, and taking twice as long. I really rea

I think if you remove the word “autistic” from the title then almost everyone on HN would have worked with someone like your description. I’ve worked with a few. They’re usually solid over-achievers in general, and have gotten by with their

Not sure what type of clue you’re after, but all of layer 1 is on the “heads” side in its entirety if that helps… and gives you a very clear clue to what layer 2 involves.

The fifth level was a binary puzzle hidden in the colouration of the writing. Darker/lighter letters were 1's and 0's. The second part of the 5th level was that the other ring of writing had 3 "colours", which were

It wasn't super difficult, and was quite fun. I'm not a cryptography person and have zero knowledge of ciphers or anything like this, but a friend and I saw it and thought it'd be fun to give it a shot. We shared ideas but pr

At this point the naming convention has to be purposely obtuse. Some attempt at rage-bait marketing or something.

> While I appreciate the hacking potential here .. I fail to see the point beyond it. That could be said for 90% of the stuff on this site though. It’s just a hobby, it’s fun to tinker and learn.

I’ve had the same system running for about a month now, and it works great. If you’re not short on space I’d probably do the horizontal versions using PVC pipes (for more even sunlight across everything) but I’ve got my tower sitting in the

We played sooo much Spectre (and then Spectre VR) on the school Macs. From memory it even had local multiplayer via AppleTalk? You can play the original DOS version in-browser at MyAbandonWare which is a fun little nostalgia trip: https:&#
