  • For field microcontroller programming
  • Sometimes as a clicker during presentations
  • I built a SCD30 extension board, so I sometimes use it to monitor the CO2 concentration in rooms

    It hurts me too, to have no better use for them. I just have no hardware with enough PCI lanes to connect a significant number of them.

    I should have mentioned that I have various other backups (including Hetzner Storage Boxes and continously spinning enterprise HDDs).

    I just wanted to use them to store “another copy” because I have no other idea how to use them.

    Some years ago, I hosted my own matrix server for a few months. I'm an experienced self-hoster, but I remeber that Matrix was paticularly hard to host, requiring weird proxy rules, DNS adjustments, federation never worked reliably and push notifications never worked at all. I ditched the project soon because I also had no real use for it. However, I recently had some ideas where a Matrix server would be useful again. Has anyone attempted to install it recently and can tell me whether the situation has improved? Also, which server do you recommend? There still is synapse but I found it paticularly complicated to host. Dendrite is now archived and the current fork seems to be tuwunel which doesn't seem to be under very active development.
