Today’s project: an #ESP32 powered VOC sensor above my cat’s litter box, to try and detect when she’s pooped.
I love her, but she can be a smelly girl. If I can detect when she’s gone, I can automatically dispense some air freshener!

Happy Thanksgiving! Here’s one that hits a little too close to home 😅
Hello! My name is JoAnna, I am a science writer (#scicomm) and science cartoonist (#sciart).
I cover a plethora of topics, including #space, #environment, #oceans, #animals, #earthscience and more.
I'm available for #commissions for pet portraits, illustrated figures for your #science paper or publication, or silly cartoons for your friends and loved ones.
Starting my day off with a fun paper from University of #Sofia -- feeling the #Bulgarian pride! 🇧🇬
I have a lot of pride in my Bulgarian roots, and it makes me really happy to see some representation. And I have huge respect for places that don't have massive funding or resources, but make the science happen anyways.
(Disclaimer: My astrophysics days are behind me, so I can't critically evaluate the scientific content of the paper much)
Scientists in Bulgaria may have figured out how to detect wormholes - A team of researchers at the University of Sofia in Bulgaria may have figured out ... - https://thenextweb.com/news/scientists-bulgaria-may-have-figured-out-how-to-detect-wormholes #nextfeatured #science #neural
Today’s project: I picked up a proper 12U #server cabinet, so I’ve been moving my #supermicro server and #3DPrinter from my IKEA Lack tables over to it.
Don’t have proper rails for the server because broke #gradstudent, but I’m test printing some brackets to mount it on. Not sure they’ll hold up its weight, TBD..
Also couldn’t resist setting up some #DIY LED lighting inside!
#academic job opportunity, 2 year postdoc at Oxford, please boost!
We’re hiring a postdoc to join the Oxford #COVID19 Government Response Tracker project at Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government – lots of opportunity to shape your own research agenda and have policy impact.
Would suit many disciplinary backgrounds… #economics, political science, public health, etc.

Score!
Now… to figure out how the hell I mount and power this
I'm in the Fediverse since 2019, but never did an #introduction so far:
I'm a #Linux #sysadmin, digital #forensics expert and #Debian developer. Programming in #Perl and #shell most time.
I insist on a #mechanicalkeyboard.
I like #Citroën #oldtimers (#2CV, #HY, #CX) and the #CityEL. I travel with #motorhome and #Brompton.
I'm going with #BikeToWork and like exotic #bicycle types: #foldingbike, #recumbent and #trike.
I am and always was a #nonsmoker. Have #asthma, though. I am #vaccinated.
So I was looking at the #smartplugs I have at home, and ended up down a spaghetti loop which ended up with #homeassistant feeding #grafana data which made a dashboard which shows the #energy consumption on each smart plug.
I know there are many different and probably better ways of doing this, I learned a few things though..
So… this is my #cat #introduction. You’ll be seeing a lot of her.
She’s 16 1/2 years young - She’s half #MaineCoon so she’s always telling me stories and looking for snuggles.
She’s a natural therapy cat and always finds me when I need her. #MentalHealth
#Cats #pets #MastoCats
Do you also have a pet that is your world?
I feel like any #homelab enthusiast knows how much fun a good benchmarking sesh is!
In this blog post, I share some CPU #benchmarks from upgrading my quad-socket #server to 4x E7-4870s
https://jdrusso.dev/posts/2022/11/better-faster-stronger-upgrading-server-cpus/
PhD candidate in #ComputationalBiophysics. I work on weighted ensemble enhanced sampling and Markov analysis of molecular dynamics simulations. Passionate about bringing good software development practices into the research world.
In my free time, I'm a #hardware and #software #DIY-er, into #3DPrinting, and a #smarthome + #homelab enthusiast.
