Hmm. I think I did a dumb by letting nvm build node.js v20 from source on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

Oh, and it looks like the system killed the build anyway :blobsweat:

Had the bright idea to wifi-ify my 3018 CNC by attaching a RasPi Zero W to run a web-based g-code sender on my LAN. But cncjs is the only project I've found so far, and Zero seems maybe too underpowered to run that :thonking:

@tankgrrl I have also seen some firmware for ESP32 that exposes a serial port over websocket. Might be a handy alternative too, just for a virtual serial cable over wifi

Hmm, one gripe with Phanpy after using it for awhile: The emoji search is... weird? Not sure if it's a sort order thing or what, but it doesn't come up with the same emoji for the same input as Mastodon proper.

Like typing :sweat in Mastodon gives me my old standard sweat-smile to represent my persistent anxiety 😅

In Phanpy, I get :chick_happy_sweatdrop: - which is weird?

@craigmaloney @murph @jorge I remember in high school, a couple of my Rush fan friends and I being all "oooh mysterious, which one of them did the rap?" But also, it definitely sounds like a rap I would have written, which is why I don't write rap.

Speaking of Raspberry Pi, I will say this little HDMI USB video capture widget is pretty handy.

Not awesome frame rate or quality for game streaming, but good enough to hook up a Pi and use a PC camera app on a laptop as a quick & dirty monitor. Only about $15 on amazon

I'd link to the HDMI USB widget I bought - but this seems to be one of those no-brand or randomly-branded items that's generically made by a rotating cast of factories and goes in and out of stock like quantum foam

@roland Yeah, on Windows the out-of-box Camera app treats it as a webcam. Same for macOS and Photo Booth. Then, just use the preview window as a virtual monitor.

@mavica_again Nice! Heh, I also have the same Mirabox capture thingy mentioned in that post

(I hear any notification sound at all from any nearby device)

"Oh what fresh hell can this be?"

Just peeked in on the X (twitter) account that I've left mostly abandoned since Dec 2022.

Much to my surprise, my notifications tell me that I've been followed by over a dozen attractive ladies in just the last week alone! Why, I'd be a fool not to hop back on over there and find out what they all see in me!
