Playing around with Embedded Rust on the ESP32. It's quite a journey through all the HAL abstractions (esp-hal, embedded-hal, embassy-hal, esp-idf), and blogposts from six months ago already seem outdated.

I did manage to cobble something together that compiles.

(Apart from the libraries, the experience itself is amazing. Just run cargo run, and it'll automatically detect and flash the attached esp32. Great developer DX!)

Thankfully I'm hosting all my assets on a "cdn" subdomain, makes it easier to block all the AI crawlers with a single rule.

I aint paying bandwidth costs for your shitty AI.

Turns out the monorail going through the building in Chongqing is more popular than most attractions there.

Apparently there are a lot of transit nerds in China :D

Welp, there goes the weekend.

If I'm not in the Monday call, I'm probably "Adding just one more line here".

(Impulse) Ordered a beepberry, seems like a fun hardware project to hack on.

European trails: this meandering path will take you up the mountain in about five to eight hours. It's not too steep and there's a "hutte" at the top.

Asian trails: Stairs!
