#anydesk is popping up beg screens. #enshitification. Dead to me.

What are some good alternatives for personal use?

Anyone have good alternatives to Bitwarden?

A failed attempt to make a SAO PCB for hackaday super con.

So far the responses I have received (outside of Mastodon) are...

1)
To be a responsible Linux users you must publish using all packages, including... .deb, .appimage, .snap, .flatpak, RPM, Autopackage, Guix package, Portage, Nix package, Slpkg, ebuild, PKGBUILD

2)
Wrap my 200mb binary in a ~600mb docker file to make it as portable as possible...

What package should I use to release a Linux application (New to this, coming from Windows)

- .deb (Debian Package)
- .appimage (Universal Linux package.)
- .snap (Snap Ubuntu store)
- .flatpak ('The' universal package)

Also Linux users... Why is this so hard? Why are there so many choices?

I am packaging a binary, not source code.

tl;dw (here’s a short video)

Ordered some "Hello my name is" SAOs and the finalised Han Solo SAO. Also in the cart was 10 more vectorscope add-ons for listening to oscilloscope music on last years supercon badge.

::screeches, hisses and beeps::

But if you truly loved me you’d already know

Continuing my Tetragonal Deltohedron project. Added a grounding plane to the edges to allow for soldering the sections together.

What makes it so cool is that it features a ~0.15$ 32-bit M0+ MCU and some side-mount RGB LEDs that makes the whole board pick-n-placeable (bar the through-hole SAO connector).

I’m really happy about how I was able to add so many LEDs without any vias that ruin the artwork on the top layer.

@LaserMistress

1) both earnings are linked and timed slightly different. so it looks like is fading from one side to the other. As if colored light is traveling thought the head.

2) 5x7 single color grid. With the Atari space invaders pixel aliens animated

#ledart

So cool! A one-pixel-wide font that exploits subpixels.

Newsletter #2 is out! It's true, @todbot and I will be doing a live stream of The Bootloader on #CircuitPyhonDay2024 at 2pm EDT / 11am PDT.

@funkylab @arturo182 Shamelessly stolen from Twitter 😅

If anyone is doing the math. 15mA per led at full brightness * 101 LEDs per side = 1.5 Amp at 5v == 7.5 watts per side.

60 watts (12 amps at 5v)

Powering this sucker is going to its own challenge

Next project, a Tetragonal Deltohedron LED polyhedron.

It seems If you are making Art PCBs eventually you make the LED Cube style project.

101 Addressable LEDs per side, 8 sides. running off a XIAO ESP32, Lipo battery inside...

Same shape as my stained glass version https://blog.abluestar.com/projects/2019-illuminated-stained-glass-tetragonal-trapezohedron/

Same methods as the Dodecahedron PCB https://blog.abluestar.com/dodecahedron-pcb-retrospective/
