OpenGauge Card

Like everybody who takes stuff apart, I have a box of salvaged screws. Old furniture, dead electronics, that appliance I stripped for the motor: everything ends up in the same pile. And then, months later, you need "a small one" and you have no idea if the thing in your hand is an M...

I always loved boxes for sorting stuff (even if I'm messy, but it's an organized mess) and I'm always trying to have the most portable setup. Most of my tools are powered by Type C with this in mind, but carrying them in a traditional tool box is always tricky and most of the time the box is way big...

It's been a long time since I posted here, so I've also rebuilt the blog using Grav to make posting easier. For some reason Jekyll and the GitHub workflow always broke on me the last time I tried to post.

In the meantime I got a new 3D printer (a Snapmaker U1) and I'm trying to monetize my prints...

I love spending money on my hobbies. 3D printing, electronics, DIY: there is always one more spool, one more dev board, one more tool I could absolutely justify buying. So at some point I thought: the best way to motivate myself is to limit my spending. And as a bonus, I'd actually save some money...

I buy a lot of stuff from the internet so I have a lot of cardboard, and I'm currently testing and sorting a lot of 18650 batteries for another project and I need bins to organize myself correctly.

I'm in an association that has a laser cutter (and I'm planning to buy one) so the goal of my projec...

🚀 FamilyBot: The Code Release

After months, I'm thrilled to announce that FamilyBot is finally released.

🔧 Enhancements Overhaul

One of the most significant additions in FamilyBot is the implementation of plugins. This feature allows developers to extend the bot's functionality without modifyi...

💡Introduction

From the start, I considered using "plugins" to add features instead of modifying the main file. However, after trying multiple approaches without success, I realized that making plugins automatically load at script startup was a challenging task. Recently, my brother asked me to add...

🎯 Goal

The feature needs to display the games that are common to multiple family members' wishlists.
The information to be listed is as follows:

  • Username of the users that have the game in common
  • Game name
  • Price
    • Price per user
    • Historical lowest price
  • Indicate if the game is on sa...

🎯Goal

For a long time now, I wanted a lab power supply to power prototypes and help me repair electronics devices, but pre-builts I found were either too expensive for my usage or not portable. So my DIY power supply must meet personal requirements.

📋Requirements:

📜Context

In my previous post, I described how I made a bot to get notifications when one member of our Steam family purchases a new shared game. With this working fine (with a bit of tweaking), I was asked to add two functionalities:

  • A command which returns the multiplayer games with a given...
