Sony M-101 microcasette-corder. Been messing with/repairing cassete players/recorders and opened this up, and oh my. What a beauty. #cassette #vintageelectronics
The opened underside of a Sony M-101 microcassette recorder: a green circuit board dense with hand-soldered joints, a large brass flywheel under an angular metal bracket, a smaller brass pulley, black foam pads, and colored wires looping across the board.

Got my OG Bell Labs Lineman's butt-set working as a mic. 🙌 I got it at a garage sale a while back, but can't seem to find a two tone version of this set.... I am thinking the tech may have mixed more than one handset together. Anyone have any insight on that? #Phreak #lofi
A cluttered granite countertop workbench at night. In the center, a white solderless breadboard is wired up with jumper wires, a small electrolytic capacitor, and a 9V battery in a snap connector. Orange and blue jumper leads run from the breadboard to alligator clips attached to a vintage blue-and-orange flashlight lying on its side. In the foreground sits a Roland P-6 sampler, its red LED display reading 138.0. Behind the breadboard are an orange multimeter with test leads, a blue parts bin, a bottle of Four Roses Single Barrel bourbon, a red ceramic crock, and a pair of sunglasses.

"Distracted Boyfriend" meme. The boyfriend, walking with his girlfriend, turns to ogle a passing woman in red labeled "KIMI K3." Beside the annoyed girlfriend, a terminal-style prompt reads: "Switch to Fable 5? Fable 5 runs on usage credits."

Finally setup my ESP32-S3-BOX-3. I figured it was a good project to test out the Claude's /goal skill(command?). It got it to MVP and am pretty impressed. Now trying to get it wired up to @nousresearch.com Hermes Agent. Finally getting my LCARS assistant I have been dreaming of. #startrek
A small ESP32-S3-BOX-3 development board (Espressif's 2.4" touchscreen dev kit with dual mics, speaker, IR blaster, and a detachable mmWave radar dock) sits on a laptop keyboard. Its peach-colored upper face is tilted up to show the square color LCD running a Star Trek LCARS-style interface. The screen header reads "FRI MAY 22 08:00" and "LCARS4722" with a microphone icon. The main display shows "LENNY" in a small label above large block-letter "STANDBY" text. Below, a "TRANSCRIPT / SECTOR 47" bar separates a status panel listing "USER: AWAITING INPUT" and "LENNY: STANDING BY". A left-side rail of rounded LCARS pill buttons in lavender, peach, mustard, and pink reads "01-422 / 47-238 / LCARS-22 / 03-117 / ALERT". The footer shows "READY UPTIME 47:23" and "47". The lower half of the device is a mint/teal housing with an exposed IR sensor module on the left and a "Radar" labeled mmWave sensor panel in the center. Behind the device, a laptop screen displays a terminal with lines of code and text, out of focus.

🤔🫠
Screenshot of an email from Claude (Anthropic). The message reads:

"Hi n0v,

Starting June 15, Max 5x plan subscribers can claim a **$100 monthly credit** for using the Claude Agent SDK and `claude -p`, including third-party tools built on the Agent SDK.

As part of this change, Agent SDK and other programmatic usage will run on this credit, and will not impact your subscription limits. This includes third-party applications built on the Agent SDK. If you use your full Agent SDK credit in a given month, continued use will draw from extra usage, which can be manually enabled and disabled.

Your subscription usage limits don't change. They stay reserved for interactive usage of Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and chat. See the Help Center for more details."

The Claude logo (orange starburst) appears at the top, and "manually enabled and disabled" and "Help Center" are underlined links.

Screenshot of a terminal-style installer interface on a dark navy background. In the top-left corner is a pixelated white "Pi" logo on a dark square tile. Below it, bold cream-colored text reads "Pi Installer" with the tagline "There are many coding agents, but this one is mine." underneath.
The terminal output shows:
"This will run:
npm install -g @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent
Continue? [Y/n] Y"
At the bottom, a horizontal progress bar (mostly empty/dark brown with an orange and red segment near the middle showing partial progress) sits next to the text "Installing Pi fetching package metadata (245)" in bold cream type.

I would have never spent the time to build out an LCARS @obsidian.md theme without Claude. What would have once been a fleeting thought, brought to life. And I freaking love it 😁
Obsidian note editor displaying a SPECTRE Intelligence SITREP dated 2026-02-04, styled with an LCARS-inspired theme featuring orange text on a dark background. The left sidebar shows the DAx-n0v-shared vault file tree with folders for DAx (Chronicles, Decisions, Dreams, Memories, Projects), Documentation, Poker, Research, SITREP, and others. The SITREP folder is expanded showing daily entries from January 31 through February 6, 2026, with February the 4 entry highlighted. The main content area shows the Director's Assessment section discussing five key cybersecurity themes including VMware ESXi zero-day exploitation (CVE-2025-22225), fileless DEAD#VAX malware campaigns, and China-nexus APT coordination by Amaranth-Dragon and Mustang Panda clusters.

Not sure what took me so long to setup Tailscale + mosh +tmux. Claude Code from Termux on my phone. Survives network drops, sleep, whatever. Laptop's the brain, phone's just a dumb terminal.
Screenshot of Termux on Android running Claude Code. The terminal displays markdown documentation about deploying gluetun with `pctl stacks` and enabling a Tailscale Exit Node, with numbered setup instructions. A status indicator shows "Read(CLAUDE.md) - Read 57 lines" and "Concocting... (Esc to interrupt · 52s · thinking)" in yellow/red text. The tmux status bar at bottom shows "[claude-gluetun] 1:claude*" with timestamp 15:46. A mobile virtual keyboard with terminal-specific keys (ESC, CTRL, ALT, arrow keys) is visible at the bottom of the screen.

Was gathering stuff up for a garage sale and found my old pogs. Here's a lil 90s nostalgia bomb. #startrek #powerrangers #90s
A collection of colorful cardboard pogs (milk caps) spread out on a dark surface. The designs include a mix of pop culture and humorous graphics from the 1990s, such as a red Power Ranger with the text “Ready for Action,” a smiling portrait labeled "Kimberly!", a pog with actor Jonathan Frakes, a yin-yang symbol, a neon green pog with a cartoonish upside-down boxer titled "LOW BLOW", and a holographic alligator design. Other pogs feature a skull labeled “Uncle Biff,” a basketball-playing crab, an 8-ball surrounded by colorful lines, a zombie woman with the caption “Spoiled Rotten,” and a sneaker illustration on a glittery background.

Gotcha, I found his x account, which his last post was a while ago, and his goodreads profile which is private. Reddit was able to find a review he left for Ted Kaczynski's book. I was able to use the profile ID to get some cached content via search results of some of his other GR profile content.
A screenshot of a Goodreads review by Luigi Mangione for the book Industrial Society and Its Future by Theodore John Kaczynski. The review gives the book a 4-star rating. The user comments that while the author was a violent individual and rightfully imprisoned, the book raises prescient concerns about modern society. It acknowledges the uncomfortable truths identified in the manifesto and references an external take discussing the ineffectiveness of peaceful protest and the necessity of violence in extreme circumstances for survival. The image includes a footer indicating it was posted in the subreddit r/LPOTL by u/Terror_Reels, with the Reddit logo visible.

A screenshot of Brave search results for Luigi Mangione on Goodreads. The search results include links to various Goodreads pages related to Luigi Mangione's quotes, book collections, and reading lists. Highlights include:

1. A page listing 121 quotes liked by Luigi Mangione, with authors like J. Krishnamurti and Bertrand Russell.


2. Luigi Mangione's Goodreads profile, showing 295 books and currently reading titles like The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan.


3. A list of 'favorites' with 15 books, including The Lorax by Dr. Seuss.


4. A list of 65 'read' books, mentioning Objective-C Programming and The Lorax.


5. A 'to-read' list with 240 books, including Life & The Lindy Effect and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.


6. A 'currently reading' list with 3 books, including How to Change Your Mind and The Omnivore's Dilemma.



Each search result is accompanied by small thumbnail images related to book covers or Luigi Mangione's profile picture.
