I'm trying to cut down on caffeine ☕☕☕

I'm down to just one mug! (Doesn't matter that this one mug can hold literally two full pot of coffee 🤤)

screenshot of a tweet from username "Mai //Temporary hack TODO - Add perm @MaiValentrans" "I've got like quadruple the followers I had the last time I said this, so I'm gonna say it again. When all the camps in Germany were liberated in Germany after WW2, the captives with pink triangles got sent to prison to finish out their sentence because homosexuality was illegal. That's not something that any history book feels the need to bring up. The queer history of the world is constantly erased, and then we are told by indignant bigots that our identities are simply modern trends."

Replacing the battery for my HumanWare Brailliant BI32 and opting for a much larger battery capacity. I will be merging an orangepi zero 2w into this setup with a much bigger battery in addition to this one I just added. Essentially trying to make my braille display "smart" haha.

Finally cleaned off all the dried sticky residue of a coffee that I spilled 😅 the victim is a Humanware Brailliant BI 32 #braille display that I originally scored for only $20 off eBay. Was kinda panicking about losing it forever so I'm real glad it's working smoothly again!
