NotesIn this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Docker on your Android phone, specifically using a OnePlus 6T with postmarketOS. I also wrote another blog post explaining how you can run this phone without a battery, allowing it to run forever as long as it remains connected to a power source. If youâre interested, feel free to check it out! This guide can be adapted only for phones on the postmarketOS device list. Please note that this process will erase all data on your phone, so itâs important to use a device you donât need.Unfurl
NotesIf you were to walk into most of the worldâs hackerspaces, itâs likely that the most frequent big-ticket tool youâll find after a 3D printer is a laser cutter. A few years ago that would inevitably been one of the ubiquitous blue Chinese-made K40 machines, but here in 2024 itâs become common to see something far more sophisticated. For all that, many of us are still laser cutter noobs, and for us [Dominic Morrow] gave a talk at last summerâs EMF Camp in the UK entitled âGetting Started In Laser Cuttingâ. [Dominic] is a long-term laser cutting specialist who now works for Lightburn, so heâs ideally placed to deliver this subject.FeedEmbedUnfurl
NotesSo what's it like to set up your own GotoSocial server? Well, I can walk you thru what I used for my setup. Yours might be different; that's OK! I made these up-front choices to simplify the operational overhead because I didn't want this to be a hassle and I don't need the extra engineering that comes from trying for nine nines of uptime:
NotesThe concept is simpleâget an e-ink display, and draw a dial on it using whatever graphics and scale you choose. Then, put it behind a traditional coil-driven analog dial in place of the more traditional paper scale. Now, you have an analog dial that can display any quantity you desire. Just update the screen to display a different scale as needed. Meanwhile, if you donât need to change the display, the e-ink display will draw zero power and still display the same thing.FeedEmbedUnfurl
NotesHaving decided the retro late-80s early-90s theme for JawnCon 0x1, the inspiration for the badge seemed almost immediately obvious: the iconic, venerable Hayes SmartModem oozes industrial design of the era and is instantly recognizable to any of us who grew up when computers had the decency to shriek like digital banshees to let us know when they were plotting against us.

NotesHave a personal domain, put a CMS behind it, use that for publishing static pages, use subdomains of it for standalone services, and register new domains only when you need to. I think this kind of strategy is inherent in the idea of having âyour own domainâ, and a lot of people follow it to a greater or lesser degree, but I wanted to spell it out fully to make it clear to myself how I would deal with different circumstances.FeedEmbedUnfurl

NotesSIDKick is a versatile sound device for C64s and C128s: it serves as a drop-in replacement for the SID 6581/8580 sound chips, and at the same time provides Sound Expander-emulation (Yamaha OPL-based FM sound), a MIDI interface and can control LED stripes. It is based on a Teensy 4.1 and makes no compromises with regard to quality: the emulation is based on reSID and fmOPL. It also comes with a few extras.Unfurl

NotesUSB Insight Hub plugs into your computer through a USB Type-C connector and exposes three USB 3.0 downstream ports, each with a 1.3-inch screen that displays relevant information about the attached device. That information includes operating system enumeration name (COMx, TTYx, or drive letter), voltage, and current. USB Insight Hub also allows you to control the individual activation and deactivation of the D+/D- USB 2 data lines to force enumeration and control the power of each downstream device. A small application running on the host computer extracts USB information from the operating system and sends it to the Hub over USB.Unfurl
NotesI wanted to put together all my learning and build a music player for the RC2014. This will run using my RC2014 Classic 2 computer. It uses the LCD Driver Module, and the YM2149 Sound Card Module from Z80Kits. In addition, it also uses my ROM board, and of course the Rotary Encoder Module.FeedEmbedUnfurl

NotesHighlight:At the entrance to the park was a sign that caught my eye. Iâm fairly certain I have seen it in previous years, but this year it caught my attention enough to park itself in my brain.
Lower Your Expectations
I thought about that sign all weekend, joked on Slack about how to âwinâ it after the festival shuts down, and sketched some iterations of a desktop version while waiting for speakers to start. I wanted to be able to slide out the display board, so the toughest part was coming up with a retention mechanism. I did things like this in the past by sandwiching layers, but found tabbed guides to be a better way to achieve that in this form factor.FeedEmbedUnfurl
