2026-09-05 - the heck do i use this for

i got rid of all my social media, i don't use youtube or twitch or play video games anymore (taking a year break), and i don't really do much else on the internet. reading lots of books, staring at my piles of unfinished projects. i figure something's gotta give eventually. idk it seems like the era of meeting people online and forming meaningful connections has long been over and i'm just burning out on being in denial. i'd like to continue to build out this site as a place to document all the different things i do, but i find myself wondering "to what end?"

oh and the reason i haven't posted in almost two years on here is that life is hell for everyone and i'm no exception. horses are people too or whatever.

2026-09-06 - look at this guy

check out this guy. he charges a 1F supercap during the day, and outputs 2v regulated 10mA at night. i'll build some stuff to flash lights or something eventually. (better photo of components after the jump)

there he is...
