The build is successful!
I finally finished* my TagTuner music jukebox and hooked it up to some speakers. It uses the ESPHome-based Home Assistant Voice PE as its brains and audio player, and when it scans NFC tags, it fetches corresponding media from my Music Assistant server.
I still have a couple bugs to work out, but this is definitely close enough to feel "ready".
I'm so happy to have a tool that will let us both (a) leverage my large home media server and (b) enjoy some of the benefits of physical media.

Recorded a couple new tunes. Spurred on by #BandcampFriday coming up again, felt like I should get down a couple of the ideas I’ve been working on. They’re kind of spacey and minimal and desultory.
Here’s a link to listen:
The uncomfortable path
What’s really at stake here is power. The shift has to be away from private ownership and toward the commons - not just in licensing, but in governance, culture, and decision-making. The whole #OMN project is grounded in this understanding. It’s about building shared infrastructure that people can actually use, shape, and trust.
One of the great ironies of many “alternative” spaces is that people believe they’re resisting power, yet by locking everything down - secret decisions, […]
Yes, its messy stepping out of the churn
Everywhere we look - what we see, touch, and use - we are living inside systems shaped by decades of economic and technological assumptions. This isn’t only something happening “out there”. It has been normalised and internalised over the last forty years.
The dominance of #stupidindividualism, combined with rigid economic dogma, influenced how we design technology, how we organise communities, and how we imagine progress itself. The outcomes are now starkly visible: #climatechaos, […]
@hamishcampbell By the way, if you manage to extract and organize information and ideas from your blog, that would not only help clarity and seeding, but also could be an income stream (book) which you could use for your goals. Or release it for free.
@warmsignull on the native #DIY path - the top right sidebar of the site is a campfire, cartoon click on that to find an article then quote post your reaction to create conversation, it's basic seed planting.
On the subject of a book, I applied for a resedental placement to a foundation in Finland to do just that but was turned down on the funding application...
This is something like the 20th rejection for project funding. Can you see a thried... mostly documented on the site.
@warmsignull So, this where the trolling comes from. The assumption is that people are unpaid workers for you...
So let's pointed out, this is collective #DIY thus if you think a job needs to be done don't stand outside and tell the people who are already working to do it, step in and do it your self to add to the collective path otherwise your "help" is negative not positive. I understand this is hard to appreciate from the circling of this tread.
@warmsignull #DIY culture please, not point and blame the people doing the work is a good first step.
@hamishcampbell Why are you coming from assumption that doing archeology on the blog is the right approach, instead of listing the work being done and extracting the core information from the articles in a more processable and presentable way?
Why actively hide and obstruct all of this?
The circling here happens mostly because of this.
If the point of the blog is seeding change, why do it in a way that will discard and confuse almost everyone? How is this not encouraging circling?

Walnut salt well I made for our kitchen.

All I needed to fix the yard gate handle was a vise. I haven't worked much with metal, so I didn't see that thing as a tool in its own right.

My local library makerspace has a free sewing machine AND a free serger... not sure what a serger is... but it looks fancy.
Maybe..... I'll make a quick appointment to get a badge for these machines... Juuuuuust in case I wanna do more sewing in the future.
Ah damnit...
I do NOT have time... nor energy... to pick up another skillset....
But I could totally do this and make it work for exactly what I'm looking for.

This is what's going to get me into sewing finally, isn't it.

Anyone has recommendations for a good pair of crimplers that I’d buy once and never regret my choices? Something that can go from 32 to 16 awg. Asking for a friend #electronics #tools #diy
Succesknap installeret i kontoret. Nu kan der ringes, når en cykel er blevet reparet og får ny ejer!
På cykeltutten er alle velkomne til at komme og reparere deres egen cykel, eller reparere een af de mange cykler vi løbende henter fra genbrugspladsen.
Hver onsdag eftermiddag står der frivillige klar til at hjælpe, så alle kan gå igang uanset erfaring.
Cykeltutten er et socialt projektmhvor vi mødes om at lave cykler.
