Upgraded my Linux workstation to increase performance by optimizing thermals through increased airflow, using the XTIA C-Zone 30mm extender v2.0 and a dedicated heatsink for the back-mounted NVMe SSD.

A while ago I stumbled upon an interesting Frankenswitch dubbed the Soju Switch: A combination of an C³Equalz X TKC Kiwi bottom, a Boba U4 top and a Lumia stem. I was tempted to build it, but ideally with parts that are more readily available and maybe even cheaper.

I’ve been rocking Linux on the desktop for quite some time now and decided to provide some insights into what it’s like on a day-to-day basis, as well as cover some of the questions people had about my setup specifically.

After more than 10 years on macOS I made the switch back to Linux on my desktop – but not how I originally intended. The PC laptop market is bonkers and I decided to not play along.

With barely any ecosystem around Khadas’ products, I decided to fullfil the need for a stand with integrated cooling for the VIM3 on my own.

I’m travelling. A lot. And I work with data. With a lot of data. A lot of private data. My own data, but also data from clients. Highly confidential data.

Let’s make the Raspberry Pi 4 finally keep its cool and look that way!

At the end of the day all that remains is basically a tiny SBC with great specs nobody can actually make use of yet.

How to wire two Arduino MCUs as master/slave via SPI and transfer useful data (e.g. sensor readings >1 Byte) from the slave to the master.
