(We met shortly after I started this capsule, so if you've also started writing in Gemini-space, maybe there are nuptials in your future?) + +## Updates on the last update + +### HexBoard button station + +My brother's new MIDI controller is shaping up (pun intended). It had a major upgrade to the RP2040 microcontroller, and he's just now gotten the v2 board design. + +V2 is about bringing assembly costs down (so he might have a margin and incentive to work on these things more). + +=> https://shapingthesilence.com/tech/hexboard-interest-form/ If you're interested in buying one of these (assembled or as a kit), sign up on his website. + +(We're going to release the firmware as open source). + +### JMP.chat review + +I mentioned switching to JMP.chat. It's once-again nice to have a texting and calling service which I can use from multiple devices. It's even better that it uses open protocols (XMPP), and supports open source development. +The one downside is that group messages are nerfed: You can't *send* messages to groups which have more than 10 participants, which limits my potential reach by quite a bit. + +Ideally, I'd get more "IRL"-friends onto my XMPP server, so I wouldn't need to use JMP as much, but my current (often iOS) users have enough troubles receiving notifications that it's hard to make the case for more people to "download a special app to chat with me [encrypted] on my server". + +### Future topics + +I was thinking about writing about my newest daily-driver Linux Phone, the OnePlus 6, but Purism has just sent me my "Librem 5 Evergreen shipping" email, so I might wait to make a comparison post on the three phones. +Since I started daily-driving a Linux Phone, I've carried around a second (wifi-only) android phone for certain use-cases. That is still the case to this day, but I think that will not be the case by the end of this year. + +That wraps this post up, as I have new things to care for. + +On to crimping some ethernet cords! + +-Zach diff --git a/capsule/index.gmi b/capsule/index.gmi index 3d68fa5..1657928 100644 --- a/capsule/index.gmi +++ b/capsule/index.gmi @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ # Zach's Capsule ## Things kept to be preserved +=> 2023-03-28-i-moved.gmin 2023-03-28 I moved, and other major life events => 2022-08-26-no-status.gmi 2022-08-26 No more regular status updates! => 2022-06-25-status.gmi 2022-06-25 Life, Liberty, and my happiness lately => 2022-05-26-status.gmi 2022-05-26 Music, Prediction, Games and Icons: a wide variety of projects this month! |
