On a more positive note, my home now features a #vacuum robot running the open source #Valetudo cloud replacement. The guide on how to do that was surprisingly easy to follow. Some light soldering, a bit of flashing that's pretty similar to rooting an Android device, and it's done.
And becau…

A black PCB roughly the size of a USB stick with pin headers, a button, a jumper header, and a micro-USB and USB-A socket. Next to it, a smaller PCB that provides a 90º breakout for the pins for robots that have their debug port mounted in a less accessible location. The PCB layout is available on GitHub at https://github.com/Hypfer/valetudo-dreameadapter/tree/master/pcbs/dreamebreakout.
A screenshot of the Valetudo web interface; the left shows a map of the apartment with rooms in different colors. It is heavily blurred, because you all don't need the floor plan of where I live. The right side shows controls for the robots to set operation mode, fan and water use, issue commands to the dock and show statistics for the last run.

RE: phpc.social/@syntaxseed/115855
I have such conflicted thoughts on this.
What happened? Gross. It's very much a harm as a systemic effect of "AI"
But also _open source industry_ is in fact a thing I think has been deeply destructive and somewhat replaced the collectivist work done before. We could go back to that. That was good stuff.
But TailwindCSS is super popular.
I also think it's a bad technology, meant to undermine the foundations and design of CSS, leading us to technically worse places.
Also the business? It is selling themes and components.
That's a really hard business to be in. The time to buy a license comes in a project's lifecycle too early, so people avoid it. It's a weird business. Not one I think people should plan to have work.

I blogged about my cute little open source computer, the #mntpocketreform, and how it is connected to the idea of #permacomputing.

Permacomputing
I’m typing this blog post on a tiny, cute, but powerful purple ARM computer in the hope that I will never have have to buy a whole new machine to replace it. It’s called the MNT Pocket Reform, and it’s a compact 7-inch laptop with open hardware documentation and a modular internal architecture. It includes a clicky mechanical keyboard and a trackball within a portable form factor. My little computer was built by MNT Research GmbH, a Berlin-based hardware manufacturer with very nice people…

I've set up a #TriliumNotes server to test it as a replacement for my job-related Trello. Phew... I've rarely seen an app that looks so daunting when you first start it up. Dozens of buttons, menus, features... and on first start it wants a password but you can't use it with multiple users. You need multiple servers for that or encrypt a set of private notes.
Trilium integra…

Trilium is an open-source solution for note-taking and personal knowledge bases. Use it locally or sync with your own server to access notes anywhere.
