Is it possible to use Google Drive reliably?
I’ve been using Google Drive in Windows for about a decade and have a good workflow. I recently transitioned to Linux but cannot seem to reliably connect my drive to the filesystem.

Simultaneous joystick 3-axis protocol
Working on a joystick. Seems like any protocol I use to read from peripherals is going to be bottlenecked by having just one input. My microcontroller might have multiple ADCs, but there’s just one processor stepping through them. Same for spi, or i2c, or uart. There’s really only ever one sensor reporting back its data at a...

Accessing NAS when not on LAN
So I have a TrueNAS server set up at home, and it would be cool to have access to it at all times. I currently have Syncthing set up to access and back up my most essential files on my phone and laptop, but it would be nice to be able to access all the … legally obtained files I have stored there wherever I go. I looked into...
