pencillr··on Turning an old Amazon Kindle into a eInk development platform
Great! I alctually always wanted to hack one to turn it into a home weather/calendar screen. It would be great for the purpose as it's battery efficient.
pencillr··on Europe is edging towards making post-car cities a reality
When I moved to the USA for a few months from Europe, I was surprised by the fact that you simply can't walk to places. There are so huge spaces between things except for maybe city centers. (I was mostly in CA and FL)
pencillr··on Ventilen, a Danish organization to address loneliness in young people
This is a big problem in modern society especially for young adults. We're not meant for this. I know it's a bit "Hararish" to look it this way but really: "Yesterday" we were just living in small tribes together and being lonely was hard to imagine. Now you can end up having everyone you call a 'friend' on the other side of some screen and end up totally friendless in your 20's.

pencillr··on Smoltcp: A small TCP/IP stack in Rust
An educational question: If this is a tcp/ip implementation where is it run? On a router? Or on a network interface controller? Both?

pencillr··on Penrose: Create diagrams by typing mathematical notation in plain text
Not the fan of haskell, though I like the fact that it uses react frontend.
