What the hell is a rotation key? - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Atmosphere Why it's important that YOU should have a rotation key and backups for your Bluesky/AT Protocol account that is hosted on a third party PDS

Reminder: You can take steps to protect your social identity, no matter where your account is hosted. With a rotation key and backups, your PDS going down is just a bump in the road.

I wrote a bit on it here

It's crazy how much routing it took to make this silly little SMD breakout. Like, it feels wrong somehow.

trying out a new kind of vibecoding where I press the buttons on my keyboard and code appears on the screen. the code doesn't work most of the time but after a few iterations it usually gets there

the only thing I'd be scared of is getting bored or running out of things to do but heck, maybe I could just take a house and start DIYing it and vlog it all

woodworking mentioned, there are a bunch of cool YouTube channels where they just do all this in their yard or forest that they have nearby??? I would totally do an adult woodworking summer camp

the on-screen hints definitely help with this :D

it was only a matter of time

pretty much the only thing I miss when swapping between pwsh and bash is aliases not being allowed to include extra arguments

worked around it by defining a function and aliasing that but it feels clunky
