Good turnout in Boulder. Glad we got to march through downtown. Lots of amazing signs. The papier-mâché puppets were a nice touch.

Introducing Terminus 3D case designs: https://github.com/usetrmnl/terminus/blob/main/doc/raspberry_pi.adoc. 🚀

You can definitely customize these 3D prints further but this shows off Terminus running on a Raspberry Pi 5 using the branded 3D case design along with SparkFun sensor mounts for detecting temperature, CO2, humidity, etc.

Enjoy!

Having a bit of fun with the TRMNL (B/W/R/Y) model which is an ePaper display with only black, white, red, and yellow color support. You can definitely see the difference in rendering between the blues in the Crested Butte photo (i.e. the yellows of the fall colors) versus the reds/yellows in the Sinners photo.

Terminus (https://github.com/usetrmnl/terminus) support for this will be pushed out on Monday (or maybe sooner). 🚀

💡 I'll be speaking on Terminus at Blue Ridge Ruby: https://blueridgeruby.com/speakers/brooke-kuhlmann/

This is fun, got all of my Swing Dance moves rendering on my XTEINK X4 (https://www.xteink.com/products/xteink-x4) device which pulls screen updates from Terminus (https://github.com/usetrmnl/terminus). 🚀

(photo is taken from the top of my fridge since the X4 has a magnetic back).

💡 If you'd like to see how all this works, definitely attend my upcoming Blue Ridge Ruby talk: https://blueridgeruby.com/speakers/brooke-kuhlmann/

Experimenting with Ruby 4.0.0, Preview 3 boxes and discovered you'll get a stack dump when using them within Bundler Inline scripts.

The new `git repo structure` command in Git 2.52.0 is handy as a quick-n-dirty high level overview. Supports table and keyvalue formats (table is shown below).

Also nice to see that "main" will be the default in Git 3.0.0 when using `git init`.

Happy about this where Sidekiq is only consuming 2 MB memory as I run image processing jobs. This is in development, at the moment, and haven't deployed this to production yet.

What's nice is I have Sidekiq configured as a Hanami provider and launched as a separate process via my Procfile. When launched, Hanami is only *prepared*, not booted, along with the Sidekiq provider being started. In other words, only the objects that are needed are loaded and memoized. 🚀

Spent the day protesting. Not sure what the numbers are yet but was a good turn out.

A view from Gem Lake (Estes Park), yesterday, after hiking up and chatting about Ruby and software engineering, in general, for hours before hiking back down again.

Drove the Peak to Peak scenic byway to get there while enjoying the bright yellow colors of the early fall leaves.

Weather was in the 70's and saw a couple herds of elk a well.

One of those rare moments in life you wish could last forever.

Enjoying Git 2.51.0's ability to export and import stashes. This is not only amazing in terms of working with stashes across multiple machines but great for saving/sharing stashes (like for cloning purposes).

In the attached example, I'm using my handle, `bkuhlmann`, to identify my stash (this stores all of my stashes even though I'm only demoing a single stash).

Definitely folding this into my workflow.
