New episode! Sean Carolan ( @sean.carolan.io ) joins the show and shares how he built a Pac-Man clone in CircuitPython in just one day with an assist from Claude. Find the show wherever you get your podcasts or visit www.circuitpythonshow.com/@circuitpyth...
Then your plan A is better. Get a small Hetzner VPS and claim your public IP.
Having an IP that stays put for a while is helpful. Mine only seems to rotate during long power outages.
Mine's in a container, using nginx proxy manager for the SSL certs.
I thought you ran your own PDS?
The animation is smooth!
OpenClaw is a bit like the v1 Roomba. It's terribly inefficient, but requires no human assistance. Let it run and it'll eventually finish the job.
These AI agents are incredible at technical grunt work. Writing tests, combing through PDF files, running electronics through the QA gauntlet.
#rpg and #gaming folks I need a few more beta testers for my Android RPG dice rolling app. The app is free and there are no ads. If you're interested shoot me a DM and I can email you the invite link!

The cringe factor on LinkedIn is high. The algorithm seems to reinforce that preachy style of post. It's the text version of Christian evangelical sermons but for business.
A green terminal window containing a text adventure game called Neon Shadows
Neon Shadows - a short cyberpunk noir text adventure. You can play right in your browser! Also included: Zork I, the classic interactive fiction dungeon crawler.

This was a fun little project where I used games to teach Claude Code to work completely autonomously. I play the game, put my feedback in a github issue, and walk away. 10-15 minutes later I get a ping on my phone showing the issues were fixed. It's kind of amazing and scary how good Claude Code is
13 games you can play in your terminal. All you need is Python. There's also a short cyberpunk noir interactive fiction game called "Neon Shadows". ๐จ๐ผโ๐ค๐ค๐๐ป๐ธ

A raised bed garden covered in 20 inches of snow.
The snowstorm from January 25th completely entombed these raised beds creating little igloos. The outside temperature is 3ยฐF, but inside the raised bed it's a cozy 21.3ยฐF (-6ยฐC). This year's experimental winter greens include lettuce and arugula and herbs like catnip, Italian parsley, and oregano.

Got my first board approved for @circuitpython.org:
circuitpython.org/board/m5stac...
The process was easy and the automated test gates let me know exactly what I needed to fix before approval.
Everything works but the SD card which needs some upstream fixes before it can be functional.
An M5stack Core 2 AWS edition running a self diagnostic
Claude Code writes the code and flashes the device, and it can even read logs and diagnostic data from the serial port!
No IDE required. ๐คฏ
Retro screensavers on an ESP32-S3 microcontroller. This is an m5stack CoreS3 SE using the most excellent LovyanGFX SPI LCD graphics library for sprites and animations.

A map of the United States showing freezing temperators as far south as Texas.
What causes these blobs of cold to reach so far south? The arctic polar vortex is normally like a fast-spinning top. As the earth warms up the top starts to get wobbly.
Some names for the blob include:
Arctic Outbreak
Sudden Stratospheric Warming
Bomb Cyclone
Daughter Vortices

The RP2350 really punches above its weight!
The Seeed Wio terminal is an awesome dev board. You've got a joystick, 320x240 display, and a piezo buzzer for the beeps and boops. Runs CircuitPython like a champ!
