This is what an afternoon in a neurodivergent life can look like. If today wasn't a public holiday, I'd probably get stressed about it at some point, but today I can fully enjoy being neurodivergent:

Was watching a TV show on my laptop. Episode ended with a cliffhanger and just one more episode left. "OK I have to see the finale NOW, but I'll watch it on the TV instead of the laptop".
So I put on the TV and the asshole-fireTV stick wants to update itself. So I decide I want to figure out how to beat the #fireTV stick. I want to try if I can somehow block it's internet connection and still use the #jellyfin app.
So I get my laptop again to check my #pihole settings to see the requests made by the fireTV stick. However, I accidentally click the wrong bookmark so it takes me to the #Fritzbox settings instead. I remember now that I wanted to set up guest WiFi sometime soon. So I proceed and set that up and download the QR code to my phone. The next thing I know is that I'm remembering the melody of a song and decide that I want to try it on guitar because I haven't tried it before. So I put away the laptop and get the guitar. I try a few times, then look up guitar-tabs. I notice that it isn't hard at all, so I feel motivated to play along. So I tune my guitar correctly, switch on the amp and give it a few tries. I end up spending more than an hour playing along to the song 🥰 Then I create a quick phone recording of me playing parts of the song and send it to a friend on Signal "lol guess the song, its from 2011"
Since the phone is now in my hand, might as well check Tusky...🤣

I feel really happy, accomplished and calm (guitar and also sports have this effect when being neurodivergent) so I can now trace the breadcrumbs and do the things that I had left undone, hours ago 😂 the fireTV stick and the final episode of that TV show 😂

maybe I should just watch the show and forget about the fireTV stick. I might 🪓 that piece of trash sooner or later and replace it with a #raspberrypi 😆

I have seen that m5stack has made an #LLM module for the M3core model. Do you think it is worth it?
The llm module is about 60 USD and the M3core is 80 USD. I thought that with money you buy the most advanced #raspberrypi and you put a display, no?

Setting up TensorFlow Lite for Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera and compiling rpicam-detect was surprisingly complicated. Installing a .deb and manually writing the .pc file worked in the end.

My blog post documenting my attempts to get #Unifi #CCTV working on a #raspberrypi has just gone live. It's a bit of a read but I'm hoping it might help folks that are looking to do something similar given a lot of the online documentation and forums appear to be old and with out of date info.
