I live nearby and often use this when catching the 55! Sort of surreal to start reading your post and immediately recognize it's something from just a block away!
Hey, I also take the 55 but I never saw the screen!

If you use MITMProxy or Charles you can easily intercept the traffic on 99% of all iPhone/Android apps (bit harder if pinned-sertificate). These API’s are often stable because a lot of users don’t update their apps that often.
For newer android apps this is no longer true. By default, apps only trust system CA's. User added System CA's are not trusted by apps. I believe only the browser uses the user added CA's.

I can't wait for my Pi 4 to get in so that I can have a test 4k60 source.

#855I discovered that my 17-month old son loves to mess with stereo controls. So I bought a few rotary encoders and neo-pixel rings - build a wooden enclosure with a plastic faceplate, and wrote some code to generate fancy light and audio effects when he turns/clicks the knobs. He loves it.

#856There's a bus station across from my studio / coworking space. I can see people waiting for the bus and doing either: 1) staring into the void 2) looking at their watches 3) desperately glancing in the direction where the bus is coming from. I figured that it'd be nice to let people know when the bus is supposed to be there. So, I installed a 28" display on a monitor stand, installed the stand on my window frame, tur…
Nicely done. Hopefully the construction there will end soon, too.

Ha! I live a few blocks from that corner. Always wondered who set that up and for what reason. Nicely done. Hopefully the construction there will end soon, too.

#859He also built a solar panel that's mounted on an upside-down bicycle frame, slowly turns all day to keep facing the sun. Lot of interesting math to track the sun across the calendar year.
I'm boring, just building a NAS with Nextcloud Pi. Although it will likely be built on a different board that's better-suited for NAS…

#860I've got 5. I only actively use 3 of them. 1. Media player connected to projector running RasPlex - this software is outdated enough and buffers on some high bitrate content that I should buy a replacement device, but it still works well enough. I tried upgrading to a newer raspi and wasted an hour trying to get it to run, then gave up. So, I still use my old one. It still gets used daily and works well enough (only…
I want to follow your turret project :) I'm trying to teach my cat to stay off the counter and every other method of doing so hasn't worked.
I likely won't make much progress on it this summer, but in the winter when I pick it back up and make some progress, I'll reach out.
