I needed to replace a notebook webcam with an external unit. The one I had on-hand did not have a privacy cover, nor could I find a simple one on any of the 3d model repositories.
Requirements were minimalist design and functionality. While I found units specifically designed for this Logitech C525, they all featured intricate attachment brackets and required post processing after printing.
Instead, I spent half an hour to ... more on:

This weekend was a low pressure, low ceilings VFR, windy and bumpy. Due to maintenance and weather, I couldn’t fly my aircraft for over a month, so I was excited to finally get into the air. Aircraft performed flawlessly, I did 10kt+ crosswind component landings and enjoyed hours in the air!!

I’ve been 2nd owner of this KTM Duke 390 for over six years and put 9k miles on it. It never failed me and taught me a lot. This was my fourth motorcycle and now is replaced by sixth - the Honda CB750 Hornet.
My asking price is $2,900, but I’m realistic and flexible. This bike is ready to go, nothing needs work, just jump on it and enjoy. This is a perfect first bike or an extra bike for those after work but before ...

#Debian once again introduced a security flaw to #OpenSSH with their custom patches applied to Debian OpenSSH packages 🥳
"Jeremy Brown discovered a flaw in the GSSAPI Key Exchange patch applied in Debian to OpenSSH, an implementation of the SSH protocol suite, affecting non-default configurations with the GSSAPIKeyExchange setting enabled. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service, or potentially the execution of arbitrary code."

Upon riding the new Honda CB750 a few times, I knew I made a great choice. A KTM-fun bike made by Honda :) It is not perfect, but light and nimble, with an excellent torquey engine, and an incredible value. The first component I upgraded, one on which Honda saved on to make their budget, is the Seat.
