mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06A series of edge cases packed into a vaguely human shape, my skill set can be best described as ”Oops! All Hardware”
I started the ThunderScope project, which you can now find on Crowd Supply! It's designed to be the best PC connected scope out there *and* it's open source.
My goal is to make open source the default choice for test equipment, like RepRap did for 3D Printing.
I may not have an OSHW tattoo, but at least I'm not a hypocrite.

You're doing open source in 2026, choose your fighter:
loading my prusament by josef prusa into my prusa core one by josef prusa and slicing the model with prusa slicer by josef prusa
the model? that's right! it's a bust of josef prusa
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
Quoting hell is over! Just paid the CM for 500 ThunderScope PCBAs, now to figure out how to send the consigned components over
damn, the one day a year I can't wear camo
Has anyone had to consign parts to a Chinese CM? If so how was the import process? I hear it's easy to get stuff out of China but much harder to get stuff in
roving gang of british transmascs - call that the peaky binders
What's with address length limits on forms? I literally couldn't put the complete address of my Shenzhen based CM on the wire transfer and now can't put the whole thing for shipping parts.
Like, it's a neat format and gets really granular but damn is it not what these western places are expecting (which is funny cuz shipping to a CM in east asia is kinda a big use case?)
