Nice design. I have done similar projects for myself and my friends, aesthetics is always the key to a make and forget music system you will actually use daily. My last one re-purp…

I expect >99% of my web traffic is bots or agents and I was actually considering removing the page counter as it is pretty meaningless and makes my site look far busier than it is.…

Writing styles like this actually gets in the way of reading a story in my opinion and, I also assume, is also some high-brow writers way of getting around for the need for an actu…

The relays sound also like a nice source of monitoring for whoever controls them.

All governments are corrupt even poster children like here in NZ, its all about degrees of corruption. however one system of politics allows you to call this out and potentially vo…

Lots of the comments here are about porting to older kindles or eReaders, but the firmware is currently for the ESP32 chipset which none of these use.

The Rolls Royce modular reactor update page [1] leaves me scratching my head as to where they are, it seems they've passed some really hard UK regulation though, maybe the official…
