So much of humanity watching #Artemis2 #splashdown! All of us let out a sigh of relief when radio contact came back through and the 3 chutes opened up. #NASA & #CSA right now: "We're so back."

@gitlab.com what's with all the memory usage?? Do you load every repo all at once for optimal retrieval??? In all seriousness, Love your work. It's great that I can self host my personal source control, even if it might mean buying ...more... #RAM ....<gulp> #docker #homelab

I asked #ClaudeCode to help me figure out how to embed youtube videos in markdown/MDX. It gave me sample code and a sample video. The sample video was Rick Astley... I just got rickrolled by an #AI.... thanks for that @anthropic.com ......

Frequency Sync demo is out now for #SteamNextFest! A few years back I made a #gamejam game that gamified music visualizers as 3D puzzles. Tried it on mobile but couldn't get the UX right and left it. Turns out It's a lot more fun in VR 😁 #gameplay #madewithunity www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNnt...

Holiday break project was to get an ADS-B receiver working with a #raspberrypi zero w 2 for flight tracking. Sending data to @flightradar24.com and might starting sending to others. It's cool not only seeing filtered data on FlightRadar's side that I'm sending, but also viewing it raw locally.

One of my COVID projects was learning more backend code, so I wrote a #DouglasAdams quote bot. I had it on Twitter and Mastadon, but finally ported it over to Blue Sky here. Would love some feedback or for people to give it a follow! #quotes #hitchhikersguide #space bsky.app/profile/dont...
