A small but satisfying discovery: Ctrl+L clears the terminal instantly, reducing friction and keeping momentum while working.

A Pi 5 with an NVMe base and Pi OS handles day to day work across Codium, terminal, and Chromium, with the main issue being cooling under full screen video.

Bench-tested two BME280s, deployed one in the dome and one outside in a Stevenson screen, and added an OpenWeather API feed. Logging every 15 minutes for 30 days to inform the condensation fix.

After years of solo stargazing, joining up with the Loughton Astronomical Society adds talks, tips, and company under clear nights

Identifies dome condensation as the image-quality culprit, outlines three potential fixes, and sets up a 30-day two-sensor study plus an OpenWeather API comparison to decide the path forward.

A garden test shows Night Sky Pi reliably captures from sunset to sunrise and packages results. The design moves to single responsibility, with a separate sender app handling off device transfers.

Tracked a bad first layer to extruder debris and a partial nozzle clog, followed by calibration checks. A cold pull and standard Mini maintenance put the yellow silk PLA case back on track.

Why and how this site’s repo history is periodically reset to a single commit on Codeberg to keep storage lean when hosting both Hugo source and generated HTML.

After years on GitHub, shifting priorities and ethical concerns prompted a decision to move to a better-aligned platform. Updates will follow once the migration is settled.

The rack plan gave way to an IKEA SKÅDIS wall for Raspberry Pis, using printed mounts to keep the cluster visible, accessible, and off the desk, with room to grow.
