Create bootable Windows USB from Apple Silicon Mac

Got myself a Mac Studio and decomissioned my Hackintosh for my kids to use as a gaming computer mainly. Doing a Windows install - Wow, just wow. The 90's called and wanted their ux back. * 4GB limit on Fat32, install.wim is 5GB * Splits just doesn't…

Minikube with DNS on ARM-based Mac

Problem: Currently as of June 2023 there seem to be no way to use minikube's ingress-dns addon on an ARM-based Mac. Reading on https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/handbook/addons/ingress-dns/ it seems that this should just work. However, a small repro: minikube start --driver=docker --addons=…

A couple of weeks ago my 15" MBP from late 2016 started showing signs of #flexgate. Please Google it! In short, the backlight flex cable connecting the main body with the screen is too short by design and breaks in a couple of years of normal use. Just around…

DIY Eurorack case

This is a work log of my DIY eurorack synth case. Planning I started out by doing some digital sketches of panel layout using jscad. Idea was to build out of oak boards: I moved from openscad to jscad to be able to abstract using npm packages and such. Still…

Eurorack speakers

Found these old battery driven plastic PC speakers from the "multimedia" era: I've felt the need for some kind of lab/experiment speakers where real big speakers might not be an option. A little bit more fun with speakers than headphones for social tinkering. I trashed…
