An initial test release of Night Sky Project is currently running and should be tagged soon. Here is an update on some of the changes and functionality.

The printer has been sitting idle for a few weeks. I’ve gone to print some more Raspberry Pi cases using some silk PLA and there appear to be issues with the first layer.

This isn’t usually recommended however I do have a use case for having to delete all commit and version history in a git repository.

I have decided to transition away from GitHub. Upon reflection, I have begun to question its alignment with Open Source principles and seek a more compatible alternative.

There has been some progress on the workspace. I’ve decided instead of having racks of computers, I’m using IKEA and 3D printers.

Quick update on the Night Sky Pi project for the end of February 2024. Not as much as I’d like but it’s still progress.

Plan for a project to allow all Night Sky Pi cameras to send data to, this is ground control. Written with Spring Boot, Thymeleaf, and Bootstrap for simplicity.

So I’ve gone ahead and created another Hugo theme, it reached the point where I couldn’t override the smigle theme to be what I wanted. So I’ve forked it and made the changes I wanted, it’s now even more stripped down. The front end is not my thing.

I host this site on Netlify which is a great choice for static sites, and I have the source code on GitHub. This is how I have the site updated using GitHub actions.

Introducing the Night Sky Pi project that I’m going to be starting. In this post I’ll be writing the requirements that I have in mind, and how I plan to complete the project.
