Dusted off my old Kindle Paperwhite, installed the jailbreak and wrote a small software in Go (because of super easy cross-compilation support for ARM) to display departure dates for public transport.

Managed to get the development snapshot of #Freifunk Berlins firmware running on this tiny MikroTik mAP lite. Had to netboot the latest OpenWrt snapshot into RAM and then flash from there. Strangely enough it did not work with the last stable release. MTD didn’t show any devices then. Anyways, it’s a fully functional node now, and boy is it fast. Aaand it consumes only 4W peak.

I’ve acquired this Sony CRT and now I’m using a Raspberry Pi and its Composite Video Out together with Gstreamer to send and sync a video stream from my laptop to it. Works now, but was quite an act because I had do enable the experimental OpenGL drivers for the Pi to get rid of the horrible screen tearing, but the driver does not support overscan properly so I had to adjust manually. And In general Gstreamer can be quite a challenge but the possibilities are endless…

So I’ve finally got my own MMDVM hotspot up and running. I’m using a MMDVM_HS_Dual_Hat for the Raspberry Pi, which I’ve ordered from China but it has all the genuine ICs and works flawlessly so far.

Now I can forward my #Mastodon notifications to #Gotify. Works like a charm. 🔔

I’ve written a small library to decode Web Push notifications in #Go (specifically for Mastodon’s)!

Aaaand it works! :3

It’s "Downloading 4GB .sh files" time again.

I’m implementing a hash table with open addressing and now I’m trying to figure out if I should use linear probing, quadratic probing or double hashing for the specific data set and hash algorithm… I like how it looks. 😯

Not sure if political party or german new wave / post-punk band from the 80s

But does it federate?

Today I visited Gropiusstadt to take a few pictures and after ending on top of a parking garage this is what I encountered.
