Looking good, Pathfinder!

🚀 Watching the Pathfinder orbiter lift off and return to its ET and SRBs. It's a very exciting time!

It's been a busy week.

Merry says you've got this.

This is so cool - a fully-functioning 35mm film camera made entirely out of LEGO.

It needs another ~1500 votes in the next 33 days. Please support it, I need to add it to my LEGO camera collection.

Oh and I did get it connected to Home Assistant 🎉

🗒 This Week (2024-08-11)

Just time for a quick recap of the week: a solar car, a silver bullet, Tailscale on a robot, and more, probably.

It does! And it even preserved my existing map and other settings.

My robot is now disconnected from the cloud, and running a local web server to provide management and control of the robot.

And, me being me, of course I loaded Tailscale on the robot so I can easily access it remotely.

Now I just need to get this hooked in to Home Assistant...

Pippin says my work passes inspection.

But does it work??

Robot: Valetudo'd ✅

Now for the *really* hard part - putting the thing back together! 🤞

I am root.

(Got root SSH access, working on installing the hacked firmware and then loading Valetudo now.)

How it's going:

I was all set to get started on my robot hack... but I should probably make sure the battery is fully charged first.

I hate waiting.

This looks like it would be a great little commuter.

You know, if they actually make it to production. (I threw down $70 for a reservation to find out. 🤞)

Oh man, wouldn't THAT suck.

(Shade aside, this is a cool look at how *another* security vendor approaches their use of kernel drivers in a way that minimizes the risk of problems.)

I do love the internet though.

I think I might skip my afternoon walk today.

Do you also enjoy gaslighting, hypnotizing, and otherwise social-engineering AI chat bots?

Have fun with this AI CTF from Wiz:

I don't believe you.
