Your mini homelab needs a mini NAS. I've tested three, now, and each one has its own set of compromises. Video here:

Starting to print little tool helpers here and there where I see a need. Easier to identify little areas of improvement after working on a bench for months. Wherever there's a pile of parts or tools, try to organize just that bit.

We should have mandatory Internet outage times every month, like Tornado drills but for exposing bad IoT devices and software phoning home.

A few times a year, I pick up an old movie or book and have a watch/read through again. 1-2 decades later, the same material can have a lot different impact. I'm glad I have the physical media, too. I can be sure Disney or Amazon or whoever didn't go changing the story lol.

Loved the book, I think the movie will be enjoyable despite probably straying even further from reality than the book's plot points than The Martian did (and it was pretty decent).

And now I have WeeWX going, too!. Working on some more permanent setup, and this will be added to the pile of "fun SDR projects I've finally gotten going on the Pi that I may or may not ever have time to incorporate into a video" lol

Well that was easy. Wanted to get data from my Acurite 5-in-1 weather station into my Pi 5. 1. Plug in @Nooelec NESDR + antenna.2. Install: sudo apt install -y rtl-433.3. Run: rtl_433. And bingo! Decoding all the weather data.

Yep, found the problem. One of the bathroom GFCIs kept tripping. Apparently the storm blew enough water horizontal to get just enough inside this outlet to short it out. Not that it was doing great regardless, lol. It was due for replacement after 50 years!

SDR is an incredible tool for understanding radio with @hydrasdr on @GeerlingEng.

That #stlwx storm may very well have been a derecho. Here's some video. A ton of trees down and emergency vehicles all over Shrewsbury and Affton.

That particular work has shaped a lot of people especially in their storytelling. One of my college presentations (and one of my first videos on YT, lol) gave me a bit of time to look into his interviews. There aren't many people as good as Moyer was at bringing out stories. RIP.

Sad to hear this. Moyers's book with Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth (companion to a television series) made a big impression on me, both about life and for what it revealed about how stories are constructed.
