Okay so I'm starting to get the hang of #knitting the ribbing, and unfortunately it looks way better than the mess at the start of this project so I guess I'm gonna start over in a few more rows (I want a lil more practice lol, I keep forgetting which stitch I'm on)

Trying to make a cute thread bobbin printout that I like... 🤔

(Based on this template [you fold them in the middle to get more strength]: https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/printable-linen-floss-bobbins-4018973 )

I put all my skill points in software and 0 into hardware, so the hardest part of this for me may have been figuring out how to read a pinout diagram and figure out which pin the buzzer is mapped to.

Feeling good about figuring that out lol

Eventually maybe I'll proper fork the repo and make this available, if I test the thing and it works.

Could I have just ordered an ESP S3 or C3? Yes. But that would be too easy.

The other necessary bit was to update the dependencies to work with the C6, which is weirdly difficult?

I had to use an alternate espressif32 package and update h2zero/NimBLE-Arduino to 2.1.0 which deprecates NimBLEAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks, so that has to be modified in the code to NimBLEScanCallbacks

Fun fact, the pin to make the beeps is different on the C6 than both the S3 and C3.

on the C6, it's GPIO2 / BUZZER_PIN 2

Figured that out thanks to this issue: https://github.com/colonelpanichacks/flock-you/issues/23#issuecomment-3764325935

This is running the Flock You detection code, from here: https://github.com/colonelpanichacks/oui-spy

With some minor edits by me because I have an ESPS3-C6 board and the software is designed for either an S3 or C3.

I'm not actually sure if my edits work but it compiles and does the boot beeps, so we'll see next time I'm out.

Rate my soldering.
(Please don't actually rate it, this is literally my first time soldering and it's tiny and not great haha.)

PCBs by https://colonelpanic.tech but the soldering is me, don't blame that on them LOL.

Joy Is a Strategy: The White Leftist Struggle with Spirit

"To me, celebration is not a frivolous add-on to movement work—it is the work. Celebration is how we remember we are alive. That we are worth the effort. That freedom is worth the effort."

I have a second, smaller drawer where I store my pronouns.

Severely just misread a sentence in this article.

I'm making a hat. :)

#knitting

"Reworking an arrest photo to make the arrestee look more distraught not only is a lie, but it’s also a doubling-down on a “the cruelty is the point” manifesto. Using a manipulated image further humiliates the individual and perpetuate harmful biases, and the only reason to darken an arrestee’s skin would be to reinforce colorist stereotypes and stoke the flames of racial prejudice, particularly against dark-skinned people."

When I say "online" persona vs "offline" persona, I mean this like... Fully online pseudonym vs more posting about stuff happening offline in my life and around me.

This may not practically matter to anyone else, but the distinction felt important to me, I guess.

Not that I have to change my name since I started using Jack offline years ago after trying it out online, cause trans reasons haha

I'll post about organizing, us politics, and anti-fascism. I will content warn (CW), and only boost CW'd uspol.

I will post garden vegetables/herbs and other non-processed food without a CW.

I will CW cooked food and insects. My boosts may be less strict.

I will try to include words that filters should catch, in both boosts and posts.

I'm pretty receptive to requests to include filter words or CWs. Feel free to ask.
I'll never be offended by someone curating their feed and unfollowing me.

Hey I'm Jack.
I've moved around accounts a few times, but now I'm trying to shift from having less of an "online" persona to more of an "offline" persona.

I am an organizer in the US and will be political. I also like gardening, open source software and tech. I have opinions (negative) about so-called "AI". I love chestnuts and worms.

How I use content warnings about what I post will be in the replies.
