Jeff Geerling, the affable and adorkable raspberry pi guy, was a misogynistic forced-birth tradcath extremist from at least 2009 to 2013, and as far as I know, still is today. Do not link to him and do not support his work. This is a matter of record on his own website […]

Just need to scream a little bit about how there are actually hard limits to how much stuff we can have in orbit without severe consequences! It's ok to say that out loud, even if the techbros don't want to hear it!

However, I'd love some help implementing some features, or help with UI design, as it takes me […]

Today, Frank the neighborhood squirrel had to rap his paw on the backdoor window a couple times because I was late to feed him this morning.
