A spaceship landed in the park. A door dilated. A strange-looking alien with artificial antennae made from tin foil emerged.
"Greetings, Earthlings!! We come in..." It consulted a device. "In trick or treat?"
Did you know I studied electrical engineering besides work? On Thursday, I finished my bachelor's thesis with the final presentation and it's time to finally present my project: ZEReader, a microcontroller-based E-Reader.
Inspired by the Open Book Project by Joey Castillo, I designed my own platform from scratch. My focus was on building a reader usable in everyday life that is capable of handling books in the EPUB format. The project is still in a very early phase, but it shows great potential, and I have lots of ideas for future revisions.
You can follow the project's journey and see its current state at https://marx.engineer/zereader/ and the linked GitHub repos!
And of course, a special thank you to @aislerhq for producing and sponsoring the PCBs!

I just can't anymore.
(Yes, it's Homelab service update Friday, and yes, I'm yet again trying to figure out what changed in kube-prometheus-stack.)
If I did release management like this, our developers would have paraded my head on a pike through all 12 worldwide sites - as a warning to others. Also several national and international regulators would have me reanimated afterwards so they could question me.
