Hey @shwood.com I thought you said you didn't bring any puzzle boxes this year. I found this one in your corner of the @hak5.bsky.social booth after breakdown on Sunday.

It's devious but I'm sure I'll figure it out soon...

I’m putting the finishing touches on a home built telescope.

Hmm, that didn't work as expected, I'll have to put the PNG elsewhere...

I found this graphic online, edited it for a transparent background, and had it put on a shirt. I need to get that one, too!

Tonight’s adventures in sleep apnea, I’ve had mouth breathing issues with the BiPAP and the spouse is displeased. I have chin straps but I want less head gear not more, so now to try this tape thing.

7 other attendees have the same hash as you.

Find at least one match and come together to the Polarity/ThreatConnect booth to claim your parts and build a "Cyberdeck".

Multiple matches mean more parts -- so find everyone with your hash.

Today’s adventure is changing the front stabilizer links and bushings. I showed up later than everyone else at the auto skills center so I go the baby lift

Oh shit, I think he's looking for me over some of the stuff I threw overboard when we took the Indy on her last trip from Pearl to North Island.

Another tip, get a photo storage box at a craft store, use it to store your different cables, @swiftonsecurity.com has another cable storage solution with back of door and cable wall racks.

Cable management tip. Get some braided elastics/hair ties, they are great at holding the cables together but also color coding, I usually do color by length because I usually use USB C cable with whatever adapter is called for.

So a while back I integrated my alarm with #homeassistant and I’ve been meaning to properly mount things.

So I designed a mounting board similar to one that Leviton sells, added stand-offs for the boards, some Wagos for the bus, and a future dust cover.

I loath this time of year, for a myriad of reasons, but I’ve started seeing this new therapist.

Remember to carry your 6 shooter…

Get that blonde roast espresso with all that glorious caffeine still intact.

Remember kids roasting cooks out the caffeine.
