ESP32 Buyer’s Guide: Different Chips, Firmware, Sensors
The ESP 32 was the most fun side project for me in 2022. For those who don’t know: the ESP32 is a small, cheap and wifi-enabled microchip. Many smart devices that you buy on Amazon have an ESP32 inside. It’s really amazing what you can do with a board that costs less than a good sandwich.

Design your pricing and tools so you can adapt them later
In this blog post I’ll talk about three pricing architecture concepts that I think are really important in modern billing – designing pricing and packaging to be adaptable.

The benefits of everything being a buffer in Emacs
For today I only have a very short tip – or maybe let’s call it an anecdote. (This is not because I didn’t have time for writing last week. Quite the opposite – I’ve been working very hard on one of the projects I mentioned in my 2023 planning post . I think I’ll be able to share some details next week.)

SirTunnel, a personal ngrok alternative
From time to time I need to expose a development web site or web service to the world. In the past, I’ve used ngrok for that, and of course long ago I built ReverseHTTP which is somewhere in the same ballpark, but I recently got fed up with the state of affairs and decided to see whether there was something simple I…

Mjolnir
As much as I loved the beautiful machine , the passive cooling and form factor of the DB4 chassis had limitations. The best GPU I could fit in (and cool down), a 1050 Ti, barely managed to run Diablo 2 Resurrected. Playing could become unpleasant at 30fps in busy levels!

Git commands you probably do not need
Ah, git ! Love it, hate it. Few things are as central to the modern software development workflow as source-control management (SCM) tools. Although there have been and still are plenty of alternatives to git in the world of SCMs, none other seem quite as prevalent both in open-source and the enterprise.
