It’s a bit sad how deserted this community is, would love to connect more with other makers.

Let’s rattle the cage a bit, who of you is here, and what are you working on?

I’ll start: A wireless cryptographic keystore & signer. Keys are generated with the hardware RNG and stored AES-encrypted with the user’s password, and you can request signatures via BLE.

    Automating xmas lighting is a lot of fun! My wife likes to setup a little xmas village she’s slowly accumulated over the years from thrift stores. A few years ago I ran a string of addressable rgb leds through the buildings and used FastLED to control them. Lights in selected buildings turn on and off at random intervals as if people live there, and some leds flicker erratically so it looks like firelight through the windows. Really looks cool. It seems like people who build little towns for model railroading might be interested in this kind of thing.
