Some heartwarming news: the recent donations of my viewers and subscribers went to buy 30 kg of dry cat food and to fix leaking rooftop at Kotofeechka cat shelter in Kharkiv, Ukraine.

My ADHD keeps spawning batshit crazy projects of all sorts that entertain people around the world, and since the full scale invasion of Ukraine began, I have decided to give all my possible income that those projects generate to those who need it more than I do. I keep track of all incomes and guarantee 100% transparency. It isn't much, but for some fluffballs it means survival.

If you would like to chip in, here is my tip jar: https://rcmd.space/campaign
All money transfer reports can be downloaded here: https://rcmd.space/pages/support/

All collected funds go to https://instagram.com/kharkiv_animals_help , my friend who rescues and helps animals on a voluntary basis.

My sweet fluffy bud turned 12 recently.

We've been together through a lot. We met first in Kyiv, Ukraine, where my spouse and I decided to build our first family nest, rather small, but decent. My then future wife took Muscat from a family where he was born to a British shorthair cat, and it certainly shows.

Later on, in 2017, we moved to Berlin, Germany. It was certainly a challenge to find a pet-friendly apartment, but in the end we found one, and there Muscat immediately charmed the landlords. Did I say we've been through a lot together? Muscat is very sensible and affectionate. We have developed our own rituals that we follow daily. He knows exactly when am I going to bed, he demands butt scratches on a carpet when I return home from work. He had spent every single home office shift by my side during the pandemic, serving his cat duties of stress relieving his humans. He's been purring me into deepest and sweetest sleep even during our hardest times.

I am blessed to have Muscat in my life. To many more years!

Managed to connect and login on a RaspberryPi over a null-modem from my Psion 5mx.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/38242033

Did a live stream yesterday, where I tried to set up a serial tty connection between my Psion and an old RaspberryPi I had laying around. Got most of the way there in an hour, even though I had to spend some time troubleshooting what turned out to be me forgetting to plug the damn cable in. But then got stuck on it not accepting my login credentials, just reloading the login screen. I did some reading today, checking Man pages and documentation, and forum posts. turns out I was missing a "-h" flag/argument(not sure about the correct term) in my [email protected] configuration file. And that I could keep most of the settings there by default, but without "-h" rtc handshaking didn't work.

feeling pretty stoked!

Anyways I will try to do a complete write up once I'm done with my little project.
