Old hardware, embedded Linux, reverse engineering, local services, and other things I decided to screw with.
I use Linux, I like old hardware, and I keep taking vendor appliances apart until they do something more useful. This is where I write up the reverse engineering, embedded crap, local services, networking, and whatever else I got distracted by.
I built a physical ESP32-S3 FIDO2 key for Daybreak. OpenAI registers and authenticates it but will not count it as hardware; Support cannot say what technical property it is missing, and apparently I need two physical keys anyway.
A free DIRECTV HR54-700 turned into a standalone Jellyfin box using the stock Broadcom decoder, vendor WebKit, Wi-Fi, Quick Connect, and a native MIPS backend.

A first-generation Google Glass turned into a thin terminal for SSH, tmux, whisper.cpp, and Claude Code.
