Technical notes, engineering case studies, and practical reflections arising from work with software, Linux servers, WordPress, web infrastructure, automation, artificial intelligence, and human–AI development workflows. These writings document not only finished solutions but also failures, debugging processes, design decisions, rejected alternatives, validation methods, and lessons learned from real systems. Alongside implementation details, they examine the broader principles behind reliable technical work: observability, recoverability, security, resource constraints, careful experimentation, and the relationship between human judgment and increasingly autonomous tools.
I have been building a public-interest dashboard (so unofficial) for the 2026 Venezuela earthquake context, using public Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping data for activation EMSR884.
The official Copernicus platform remains the authoritative source. My aim here is narrower: to create a lightweight accessibility layer for selected public satellite-derived data.
This is a simple script that creates a Conway’s Game of Life-based animation of text on a grid of LED lights. The main text is initially displayed on the LED grid, and after 15 seconds, it starts to disintegrate into a Game of Life pattern. The animation stops after 17 seconds.

I tried the MacOS native File Share feature since I need to share data between the two Macs via LAN. Naturally, this function, which by default is based on SMB, also supports AFP.
An accidental irreversible event happened during the attempt to authenticate, and the error form seemed to have the incorrect user name or password. However, I am confident that the login credentials are correct. Even after reinstalling the system from High Sierra to…

I really shouldn’t say much about the desire to have a wireless PC-Hifi setup. Despite having a large collection of CDs and LPs, I feel that digitizing my music library would be beneficial in some circumstances.
Though Audiophonics’ official website shows compatibility with Volumio (a multi-platform music player), I have spent a great deal of time in the last several days and, honestly, had quite a terrible experience when piecing together Audiophonics and Volumio.1 Even so, I am really pleased with the sound from DietPi, which is more distinct and pure, as well as the efficient start time and UI design, and, ultimately, the stability when compared to Volumio.
As a result, the purpose of this article is to serve as a resource for serious philharmonicgeeks who have a limited budget but a need for “adequate” high fidelity quality.
