About me

Music producer, (ex-)DJ, electronics tinkerer, Linux enthusiast and coder.

Trapped


I felt compelled to write about music for a change, since it's mentioned in the blog header and all, so here's some criticism to begin with.

As a DJ I had the pleasure of closely following the development of rap music ever since the 80's, and IMO the "golden age" of the 90's was truly that. From 2000 onwards I've felt rap becoming too mainstream, too dumb and lacking meaningful messages.

LED wall control with Raspberry Pi, part 1


My IR camera project has been on hold for a while, because I've come up with other more interesting ideas, such as a LED wall. Initially I was inspired by the Aurora LED wall project, but I've realized that with the power of a Raspberry Pi and some Linux audio magic (PulseAudio and GStreamer) I could do much more.

Pre-enabling wifi and SSH on a Raspberry Pi SD card


I've bought many Pi Zero W's, as they're just irresistibly cheap, so I have a lot of little Linuxes (or is the plural Linuces?) running around the house.

Unfortunately I keep forgetting how to pre-enable wifi and SSH on the SD card for a headless setup, and every time Google finds me old, incomplete tutorials, leaving me wondering why a Pi is not connecting, so it's best I finally write my own.
