Hi, I'm Sam! I taught myself #programming in the '80s on a Commodore 64 and an IBM PC XT with QBasic. Now I'm a software developer at IRCCloud, building #Android and #iOS apps in #java and #ObjectiveC. Previously I worked on #music streaming apps at Last.fm.
Here are a few topics I'm interested in:
#photography
#cooking
#gaming especially in #VR
#linux on #raspberrypi
#homeautomation using #homeassistant, #python, and #nodered

Aftermath
Trying to explore the debris fields and take screenshots before the Thargoids warp in and attack me was quite a challenge!

"I seem to have got away with only a small amount of spaghetti deep in the dinosaur nostril" and other sentences I swear no other festival organisers have ever had to deal with
Recently bought a #YubiKey 5 to use with my #Linux desktop.
Now I can automatically decrypt the filesystem just by plugging in the key during boot, and login / sudo just by tapping the button! No more typing passwords, but everything is still encrypted and secure.
A little disappointed that Intel Macs can't use it with FileVault during boot, but the Mac already has a fingerprint reader so I wasn't planning to use the YubiKey with it anyway.

People who suffer from anxiety: What are your coping strategies?
Started using this over the weekend and it's awesome!
So much better than copying public key files between my Mac, Windows, and Linux machines. Love how it even auto filled the key on the GitHub account settings page!
I hope they'll also add GPG keys for signing my git commits in the future too.
Migrated my #HomeAssistant server to the new Home Assistant OS ARM64 image running in #Linux KVM on my #RaspberryPi 4.
I was previously using a docker installation on #Ubuntu that is no longer officially supported, and various things stopped working properly recently.
Haven't noticed any performance difference between docker and the virtual machine, and now it's officially supported and much easier to maintain!

OK, I've finally finished version 1.3 of Wordle for the #c64.
Maybe it should be called v2.0 compared to my last release because this one loads instantly and doesn't crash with a full gosub stack after 3 games.
It's on my github now and video coming after dinner.

The VK-Pocket. When you look at it, it looks back at you with your own eyes.
The eye on the screen is a live view. The black dot to the left is a wide angle high resolution camera; it performs face detection and crops the eye region for display, wherever it is in the frame.

free piano concert on twitch
I'm settling down with a cup of licorice tea to watch a piano concert of classic videogame music by Trevor Alan Gomes, starting in ten minutes at http://www.twitch.tv/88bitmusic
This guy's an incredible pianist, and a major inspiration for me picking up the piano again after two decades. These streams are always a real chill time, & a delightful end to the week. Why not join me!
Full set list: https://twitter.com/TrevorAlanGomes/status/1520141449454571520?t=1TqxxatKQ3kXV8W02A-2Nw&s=19
Giving up on trying to rename my Mastodon instance for now, trying to run 2 instances on the same host to do the transfer is just not worth all the effort for a slightly shorter web address 😝
Might have another go if I ever need to move this instance onto more powerful hardware in the future, but it's fine as it is for now.
I recently bought some Game Boy DMG-01 colored buttons from SakuraRetroModding on Etsy for my Anbernic RG351V and they look amazing!
