I have a lot of comic book boxes:

I created a script that lets me query the database to return the box numbers for certain content.

I can search by writer, artist, title, character, notes, even down to issue number.

What I’d LIKE to do is hook it into a voice recognition system and smart lights and get it to light up the boxes “Wheel of Fortune” style. But I’m aways off that yet.

I use Redshift to change the color temp on my monitors.

I have cron jobs at 1930 to change to night mode, and 0600 to revert back to day mode.

I’m very certain the temp change can be scheduled within Redshift itself, but I’d have to leave the terminal open, figure out the documentation, arguments, etc. Creating the cron jobs was easier for me. 🤷

I have one deployed project using a raspberry pi.

A water temp meter that reports the water temp at a local swimming hole to a private webpage. Built using a raspberry pi zero w, a timer, an MC battery, a DS18B20 sensor and a bash script running as a service on bootup.

One I miss the most is one I had on my Nokia N900. It would take a photo with both cameras, aquire the current GPS position and upload all those things to my server. Then it would check for a file on my server and if it existed would create an SSH tunnel, allowing me to SSH into the phone from my server.

It was supposed to be an anti theft measure. Never needed it. Was still cool that the phone had this possibility.

It’s not an answer, but I really hate how hard this is to do on Android, including it’s FOSS versions. You can root it and do something like that then, but that undercuts the whole system design and is a terrible hack.

That’s like my main beef with the whole mobile ecosystem.

i wrote a simple program to wiggle my mouse

you can guess why

it was a rip off from a coworker’s program
