Building the future of game server hosting at Nitrado. I post about #SoftwareEngineering, #Leadership, and spending too much time playing Satisfactory.
You can find useful Software Engineering tips under #SoftwareEngineering101!
I can finally mention that my team and I have been supporting the launch of Last Epoch!
The crew at Eleventh Hour Games are a blast to work with, and I'm incredibly proud of what we've built for them over the last year.
The best single thing I've done for my #smarthome is to buy a bunch of cheap wifi power sockets ("Gosund") and flash them with the Tasmota open source firmware (https://tasmota.github.io/).
This allows me to monitor power consumption and toggle the sockets remotely. No cloud, no app, no privacy nightmare. And of course neat Grafana dashboards.
Slack Nebula is really cool.
It's an overlay network, so essentially a Peer-to-Peer VPN, meaning you don't need a central VPN server that all traffic goes through. It's highly portable with pretty much no dependencies.
Here I have it running on a Raspberry Pi on an absolutely minimal setup (only kernel + busybox, 52.4MB total, all in RAM). And it just works.
Spent the time "between the years" setting up a touchscreen with a raspberry pi and... I thought all of this would work much better ouf of the box.
Outside of Android, touch support on Linux is abysmal, and good luck finding an Android that runs on RPi and has the required drivers built-in.
