I finally succumbed and bought one of these small TV things in a recent AliExpress sale. Out of the box the closed-source firmware can show weather, clock and more. aliexpress.com/item/1005005132

Today I soldered some pin headers to it and flashed it with esphome, using some other's prior work. Now I can get it to show whatever. I'm aiming to have it show the temperature from the Bluetooth Govee temperature sensor in my study, but I'll probably come up with other things.

Yay! My trifecta is now complete! My blue & orange (is it orange‽) came in last night, & I opened it yesterday, but I was too tired to post about it as I just got off work.

But yes, I am excited that the two smaller Plushes arrived! Thanks @Mastodon for creating these!

Also…we need more apps to create real world wearables or plushies, as they are great conversation starters for folks who are not familiar with the .

Three Mastodon plushies! Bigger one is in the middle while the two smaller ones are on either side.Three Mastodon plushies in front of an iPad Pro, the latter which is showing the Mastodon app.Two smaller plushies next to the iPad Pro in the center. iPad Pro is displaying the Mastodon app.

New blog post, a bit of an addendum to my older microblogging protocols comparison post(s) until I do an updated version at some point. It mostly just goes over a handful of big events and shifts I've personally noticed since my last post in the summer of 2024.

This blog post perfectly sums up my main issue with ActivityPub: I have Akkoma, Lemmy, and Pixelfed, but for some strange reason, I can only interact with Pixelfed. To have the best experience, I need to create an account on each server. With XMPP, all I need is the right client.
