Days since I installed Debian on a new computer and completed a complex manual partitioning scheme involving stacked md, dmcrypt, and lvm while forgetting to create an EFI system partition, and so having to do the whole thing over from scratch:

0.

Argh. The installer should warn you about this earlier in the process. I always forget because I only do this every 3 or 4 years.

I've been working on the parts list for this phono preamp project. There are 3 boards:

* The preamp itself
* The rumble filter (a high pass filter)
* The power supply

Can't wait to finish it and order everything.

This doesn't include whatever cases I decide to put them all in.

There's an inexpensive build project I've been meaning to work on for some time. It's an RIAA phono stage called the ESP 06. A friend of mine made up some boards and offered me a set, and how could I say no? My stereo preamp has a good photo stage but this will be fun to play with. Now I just have to find where I put the PCB's.

#Happy420 Day! Den Tag zum Anlass genommen, habe ich heut ein weiteres Development Release meiner #CanGrow Firmware zusammengeschnürt und den v0.2 Entwicklungsstand in den Git main gemerged, da dieser nun voll funktionsfähig, wenn auch noch nicht feature complete, ist :)

Neben einer aktualisierten Readme im Git Projekt gibt es auch unter den Release pre-built Binaries zum direkten Upload auf euren #ESP :)

Ihr findet alles weitere hier: https://git.la10cy.net/DeltaLima/CanGrow

Nach einem Monat gibt es mal wieder ein kleines Update zu meinem #CanGrow Projekt. So langsam aber sicher vervollständigt sich die v0.2, das Dashboard funktioniert schon einmal zu großen Teilen, was ein recht großer Brocken auf der ToDo Liste war :)
Es können jetzt neben den bekannten Tachometern auch Liniengraphen angezeigt werden. der #ESP speichert dabei alle halbe Stunde für max. 2 Tage die Daten im LittleFS :)

"You Win Again" is a song written by #Barry, #Robin and #MauriceGibb and performed by the #BeeGees. The song was produced by the brothers, #ArifMardin and Brian Tench. It was released as the first single on 7 September 1987 by #WarnerRecords, from their seventeenth studio album #ESP (1987). It was also their first single released from the record label. The song marked the start of the group's comeback, becoming a No. 1 hit in many European countries.

A thread of some of my LED projects, for posterity.

One of my favourites, sound reactive LED rollerskates.

Running WLED on a ESP8266 D1 mini pro on each skate (don't ask, one of my first projects). Which are controlled by an exterior ESP32 with a microphone attached.

The left pair were for my friend for a performance we did.
