post from Adafruit MatrixPortal makes it easy to create a custom LED sign #RBG
Using the plug-in MatrixPortal board we just released last week, we were able to make a sign that we brought to the Ruth Bader Ginsburg memorial vigil in NYC. The code displays three initials and then scrolls through an image of the Justice. We used the matrix magnetic feet to …

post from How to make an RTMP Streaming Server and Player with a Raspberry Pi
In this tutorial we'll use a Raspberry Pi to build an RTMP server that plays out any video stream it receives over the Raspberry Pi's HDMI port automatically. This effectively turns a Raspberry Pi into a Blackmagic Streaming Bridge.

I’ve been slowly working on taking more control over my own data, extracting it from corporate silos and keeping my own copies of it. One piece of this effort is making myself less dependent on Goodreads, which I’ve used for some years to track my reading and get inspiration from …
