ALSO HEY, COMMISSION TIME: here's a ref sheet I did for @BestGirlGrace 's character Bird Call! She's a super cool punk crow villain, and her favorite thing to do is cause telecommunications-related trouble. Watch out, she's got your number...

tiny computer, tech 

I managed to get KeepassXC on the tiny computer, since it seems like the best TOTP manager for the job. Now to see if I can make this thing usable, or if I’ll need to try a different program.

pol-adjacent, on writing in impossible times 

After a point, working in computer security made me at least one part near-future SF writer and one part horror writer. Which I guess makes sense.

Some advice from the sf and horror writers’ community for those who, like me, have trouble speaking up in difficult times:

Unfortunately, it overheats when installing large software packages. So I am now letting it install GNOME on a frozen bag of pizza rolls.

I tried doing so in the fridge, but alas, it did not get wifi.

The tiny computer has been forged successfully.

Now to install a touchscreen keyboard and the things I wanted on it.

Raspberry Pi Zero experiment is continuing apace. I’ve tried pocketing this thing, and it’s practically weightless, which is kind of crazy to me.

I also might have bought a second, since it’s inexpensive and enables further experimenting.

tech, dedicated two-factor device 

Just placed an electronics order to see how tiny I can make a dedicated two-factor device. Not everything I use supports U2F or FIDO2 (that’s already easy), and I’m kind of afraid of a simple phone drop leading to manual recovery of ~20 TOTP keys.

I’m a little surprised this is not a common enough thing for there to already exist commodity devices, so I’m going to try a Raspberry Pi Zero W build first.

the difference between an engineer and witch:
- an engineer knows that if a part is designed for one purpose, it won't work well in others
- a witch knows that "what it was made for" is always a subset of "what it can do"

PSA for Washington State Cannabis Users 

Due to a state-wide "emergency ban" of flavored vape cartridges by executive order of Governor Jay Inslee[1], Have a Heart cannabis shops are selling flavored vape carts at a 30% discount and plan to pull them from their shelves as of Tuesday the 8th. I can't speak for other Cannabis shops in the area but suspect you'll find similar situations.
