Redid my entire Home Manager config in NixOS in order to simplify it and add all of it into my NixOS modules. This modularizes it more and makes it easier for other people to use! github.com/techyporcupine/nixos-config

Created an ESP32 powered tally-lights system! PCB design and schematic all done by me, with some help from #electronics. Just made my OnBoard PR for it: github.com/hackclub/OnBoard/pull/796 (Warning for reviewer: this one has a lot of sessions!)

Did a couple different 3D printer improvements. Replaced the dangerous 5V regulator on the Makerbot Replicator, and all the fans and configured them. Replaced a fan on the Ender and configured it. Designed and printed a mount for the Replicator's PSU as well. github.com/techyporcupine/klipper-configs www.printables.com/model/936045-hanging-mount-for-replicator-psu

Did a couple things with NVIDIA in my NixOS config. github.com/techyporcupine/nixos-config Built my Blender installation with CUDA support so I can render with my GPU now. Also rolled back my Nvidia Driver to version 535 as 550 was causing kernel panics. Hopefully looking at this config can help some people who might be struggling with doing either of those things!

Extension to my last NixOS project, I also worked on updating Plausible myself and donating it back to the community, but that ended up not working. (Feel free to not give me time for this, it was kind of a failure) github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/321814

Rolled out support for an HDHomeRun in my Jellyfin instance, and decided since it was so hard to do I'd work through it in Arcade and then opensource my findings for other NixOS users trying to do the same thing! github.com/techyporcupine/nix-server-modules/blob/main/jellyfin%2Bhdhr.nix

Changed the URL of the analytics server for my website as it had "analytics" in the url previously which caused ublock origin in firefox to block it!

Fixed how CF Pages was deploying my site as previously when I pressed on /HOME/TECHYPORCUPINE in the upper left hand corner it would navigate me to the funky cloudflare build page, so a simple env var fixed that!

As the first thing I do for #arcade , I switched my NixOS config from using Powerlevel10k as my Zsh theme to Starship, and I'm liking it a lot. Here is a screenshot of my terminal now!
