Figuring out how to wire a raspberry pi to solar with battery and a Arduino to power it off at night and on in the morning. Just figuring out how to use a relay to control power to the pi. Figured out how to program the Arduino that was fun having it toggle an led on and off. Keep burning myself with the soldering iron and maybe next I should learn about breadboards... electronics are fun

#562I'm working a tool that lists Apple Computers by sound levels. To help people who value silence choose the quietest mac: https://quietmac.app/ A very small side-project that was something I wanted to do for a while. There's no plans to monetise it, it's a resource for those who want a quiet desktop. Mostly finished (not mobile friendly, yet)
Serious question - why is this a tool and not a static list or spreadsheet?

#564Working on a sort of universal dock for usb mass storage devices. It's a little linux box wallwart, udev rule, fstab, systemd unit config generator that runs scripts when the device is plugged in.
I've used this pattern for automating stuff with my Point and Shoot Camera and Kindle. Attempting to make it simple and accessible to non techies

I'm building a covid-19 visualization app, and today I've been working on an interactive comparison tool that allows you to set the base time for graphs, eg, "cases after confirmed case number 100".
First feedback has been great. It's in Spanish and although I intend to translate it to English, I want to prioritize other features like a table, and enriching my data with demographic and healthcare stats like hospital beds per thousand.

#566I created https://projectconnect.us a few nights ago as a central location for small businesses that are still open in our area to promote that they are so. The service allows for businesses in other locations as well.
It had a lot of traction the first day, but kind of lost traction. As long as people are able to reliably find the resources they need, then I’m OK with mine not being their first choice.

#567IEEE VR starts tomorrow (Sunday-Thursday). Entirely online. Registration is waitlisted, until they see how their infrastructure holds up. But they also plan live streaming video of all presentation sessions (papers, panels, workshops, and keynotes) on Twitch, open to anyone. streams: http://ieeevr.org/2020/online/ schedule: http://ieeevr.org/2020/program/overview.html hashtag: https://twitter.com/hashtag/IEEEVR2020 A…
Don't you think the VR industry is now in jeopardy with decreased consumer spending?

#569I'm hacking on https://bankhooks.com The premise is simple - define arbitrary conditions on transactions or balances, and get webhooks or emails when those conditions fire on any of your bank accounts. I have >10 bank accounts and was having trouble monitoring them. I use this to alert me of any activity, on any of my accounts, that is unexpected. I no longer need to log into banks. I also use it to alert me if my ba…
Very interesting. But is it possible to charge without a company created? I lack the /about and other essential information which will make me trust you more.

#570I am writing macros in Elixir to describe schemas mapping to IANA Considerations as objects and enumerations with accompanying references. My hope is to get it to where I can describe data and APIs that I can confidently map to IETF and other specifications.
