One annoyance with running agents on remote machines, VMs, sandboxes, etc was accessing USB devices for flashing firmware etc.

No more. I had Claude write a USB/IP host implementation for ESP32 S3. USB-C OTG power splitter for power.

Client running herdr, server running the agents, and device being flashed are now all decoupled.

I missed having failed print detection with Prusa Connect, so I was looking for alternatives. Then it hit me: Prusa’s camera is exposed as an RTSP stream, so now Claude just watches the camera while it’s printing 🤯

3D printed and laser cut a “zome” terrarium for critters the kids find (currently tomato hornworms)

Unpopular (?) opinion: personal resume websites shouldn’t try to be too cute. Give me the basic cover letter summary and ~one-page CV up top with clear formatting and the ability to drill into things I want to learn more about. A little bit of flair is fine but it shouldn’t be distracting.

I gave my agent access to my 3D printer, so I can tell it to model and print something and it just does it.

Kid lost the cap to a glue stick, so I just asked it to print a new one, with a cat on top, because why not (and of course I had to do one for the other kid)
