I had trouble setting up an ARM-based Windows laptop to connect to a printer over the holidays because drivers were x86/x64 only. Had to set up a Raspberry Pi as a print server to fix it. It’s 2026, why are printers still such a pain?

Mole is a tool I have always wanted. A simple, open source utility for macOS that can clean up storage by clearing caches, finding orphaned application data, optimizing databases, and showing you exactly what’s eating your disk space. It is like giving your system an oil change!

Gave my site a facelift + modernized the stack (custom Tailwind theme, modern icons, faster JS). Also set up POSSE: publish once here, then syndicate out to the social platforms.

Tracking Water Usage in Home Assistant with AquaHawk
I built an open-source Home Assistant integration that pulls water usage data from AquaHawk into your Energy Dashboard. Track your water consumption alongside electricity in one place.

Good morning Ann Arbor / MI blueskies folk!

Some friends and I (such as @twbrandt.tombrandt.net on here) have launched a campaign to acquire and then forgive medical debt in Michigan. It's a really efficient, high-impact program.

Please consider donating at: ripmedicaldebt.org/campaign/eli...
