This is nothing new, I’m just making it “from scratch” (stitching libraries together). I have a Raspberry Pi 4 that’s in headless mode so no GUI. I could reinstall it with a GUI and just use some python plotting library but… you know me dunce boy. So I’ll stream the data by websocket and feed it to a web app that will plot the three sets of data (accel, gyro, mag) in real time. I bought a couple sets of…

This is using Puppeteer on NodeJS with Google Spreadsheet API to automate website logins and get data eg. current balance and fill in a Google Spreadsheet that’s used as a DB for other personal APIs.

Background

Back in 2015 or so my finances tanked. My credit score dropped to the low 400’s or even lower. Although I’m still broke AF, right now I’m above mid 700’s but it took me a bit to fix that. One of the fixes is…

Update

I did later realize that you can’t really do a proper cost-basis/FIFO with separate portfolios… in the end it’s all “the same pool”. So yeah I did some updates and now it’s more like the screenshot below(no UI yet). But I’ve summed all portfolios, sorted all fills by date and then did the gains/loss again. I’m just barely positive since I bought some $41K chunks and had to sell those first.

The intent

I wanted to see what amount of crypto I bought I could sell where I wouldn’t be losing money in terms of FIFO… unfortunately I have been…

The TL;DR is I dropped Plasma for Mobian. This is the 3GB version “highest spec” at the moment.

This is not a tutorial mostly rambling and building some minor web projects. Warning has some fowl language.

I haven’t written on Medium in a while because I was going to setup my own blog but haven’t put the time into it. That’s on top of being lazy for past few weeks/months.

My main goal in life is financial freedom. I work in the tech industry thankfully so income-wise I’m doing alright for myself however I’m still in a lot of debt(student loans). I’m also supporting several of my own blood-related families so it’s a slow journey. Aside it’s just…

There’s nothing to learn here just a rambling post.

I think I saw this phone in an ad. It was red and when I saw it, I just wanted it. I did like the Yellow version much more and at the time when I was still doing the “phone contract” approach I got the Lumia 920 in black through AT&T primarily because that’s what they had and I was impatient. The black color was nice since you could try different tile colors that didn’t contrast against the phone’s body color eg. yellow looks better with yellow.

It was great, I…

Look how they massacred my boy

Ahh… I overwatered it… tried to save it but its fate is sealed. Planted new ones yesterday only four or five that sprouted.

Update from 12/07/2020

This is the biggest Apple tree I’ve grown from a seed so far. Unfortunately I may have waited too long between the mosquito dunk treatments as one of the smaller ones died recently. I’m fearing for the biggest one, maybe it’s stronger/will recover more. I did have to change the camera mounting/angle…

I am aware that my writing is trash, and that people generally come to read things to take away from it/gain something eg. a tutorial teaches them something new. Maybe some tips/tricks saves them time. This is not that. This is if a pile of rocks on the side of a dumpster somehow gained consciousness after getting rained on with garbage juice for decades.

Also I’ll post my hardware projects on Hackaday going forward and I’ll probably build my own blog at some point. I know “you don’t have to”. But I like to, until…
