My First Post

Starting December Adventure

I found about the low key coding challenge through the Psion User Discord and it was cool to see that a number of people I follow on mastodon took part previously. In a slight variation I’ve decided to focus on documentation as I’ve been promising to write up all the projects particularly the solar setup of solarcene.community. I’ll use a combination of this blog site and the gitea server I have at https://git.solarcene.community

First job was to setup a blog, I’ve gone with Hugo to create a static site, I’ve set it up on the NanoPi Neo which acts as the nginx router (my system layout will be a future topic). I ended up using the pre-built binaries for go and hugo as building from source would never work succeed (only having 256Mb of RAM - and yes I did try but after 10hrs it just got silly), I bascially followed the quickstart guide and installed the smol theme. Finally setup nginx to point to server.

Projects I plan to document include:

• Solar Hardware (with diagrams)
• Solarcene Mastodon Power code/setup
• Solarcene grayscale/dithering code
• My basic/simple hacks for Grafana
• Summer hydroponics setup (hardware/code and results)
• Plans for 2025
