Never let anyone try to talk you out of a quick half hour DIY project. Those three hours will be the best six days of your life.
@bloor the "skirt I was gonna sew over the weekend" is currently not in fact a skirt but cut up fabric that's been waiting to be sewn together for a month ​​

@markix @bloor Only a month? That's awesome!

My projects usually have a 1-2 year (at best) lead time between the time I buy the hardware and the actual start of execution.

Actual finishing time is TBD in most projects, and never under 2-3 months...

Upside: I am currently sitting on a brand-new, unused, 16GB DDR4 kit of memory that cost me just over €50, which should tell you just how long ago I bought it...  

*SIGH*

@nanianmichaels @bloor oh this is not the worst offender for me either hehe ​​

I've been wanting to make DIY versions of SlimeVR trackers... 2 years and I still only have one

And there's a bunch of stuff in my list that I haven't even gotten off the ground, I've been wanting to make a Subsonic-based MP3 player for example! But finding a SIM card module that doesn't cost a liver + a way to actually hook it up to an ESP32 has proven to be difficult
