I have been very busy, but I did build something cool, and I would like to share it with you.

I made a power box which can be charged with solar panels. We had a power outage recently, and it sucked sitting in the dark.

I wrote up the components I used for the box here.

I've been working on a PWA in my spare time. So far, the login screen renders, handles errors, and authenticates you well!

Too many green ticks on StackOverflow saying local/session storage is safe for storing access tokens. I'm taking the time to learn how to use HTTP Cookies well to manage access tokens, and will write a blog on it.

Storing session identifiers in local storage is quick solution, but it is a poor choice. If you would not want your tokens to be read in an XSS attack, why use session storage for access token management in the first place?
