By using the flex break-out board, I’ve connected a Microchip MCP23008 8-Bit I/O Expander to the pogo pins of my pinephone.

By using SSH, I’m able to login on my pinephone running postmarketOS, but doing the same with mosh fails.

With a free (as in beer) service like uptimerobot, it’s possible to check if some websites are up or down. But sometimes it can be useful to check if some websites on the internal network are up or down, like for example in my case: my smart thermostat my jukebox … Let’s write something in the Go programming language.

Belgium: It’s summer, but the weather is not that great at the moment… So, I’m learning the Go programming language. As an exercise, I’ve rewritten my simple jukebox (that was written in Java Spring Boot) to Go.

In a previous post I’ve written how it’s possible to create screenshots on the pinephone with grim. This doesn’t work on sxmo because sxmo doesn’t use wayland but X. It’s possible to create screenshot on sxmo with the program scrot.
