HomePod minis are 6 years old, but I learned something new today: how they work in stereo pairs.

It's not magic, it's just good time! Check out my video poking the HomePods with Wireguard to discover their secret: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h-nFbAsJ8M

Also replicated some of these little Xserve rack mount bracket spacers: https://www.printables.com/model/1713195-intel-xserve-rackmount-spacer-bracket-805-7385

Learning more 3D CAD project by project!

Also realizing materials matter a lot, and even ASA or ABS aren't amazing for tight screws and dynamic loads...

Getting full remote control set up for each of them too, but still trying to figure out how to get them to power on remotely...
It has taken far too long to get to this point. But it's also pretty cool having three fully functional Xserves running! (None booted when I got them)
55th anniversary of the 555 going strong, with a Big Clive livestream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzNjFJdaw_I), and a video precisely 5:55 long published at 5:55 on 5-5 from @eevblog - https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-1746-the-555-is-55-years-old!/

I enter the portal by standing on the top of a ladder, far beyond all warnings, with one foot.

Today's job: operation add a network jack in the one area of the studio I keep running long network cables to.
I didn't beat a bunch of college students with my new SBC cluster, but it still performed admirably. In today's video, I tested the DeskPi Super4C in a new mini rack from Waveshare. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjmKpDNsTa8

Raspberry Pi Connect might remote control Windows soon.

I tested a pre-alpha build and it works, but there will definitely be some bugs to sort before it hits production. Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYcL45Qr0Q8

You can download the build from the Pi Forums here: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=397786

Looks like maybe mammatus clouds in south STL? #stlwx
