Not only did I again not blog anything but a ton of stuff has happened, so I decided to make this little roundup of my journey through 2023, enjoy! Late again Alright, let’s start with the most obvious discrepancy: I missed the deadline for this article by a couple of weeks because I procrastinated writing it. Ever since I switched to full-time software development my incentive to blog has taken a steep dive downwards (possibly because I already spend most of my time typing stuff?https://nefarius.at/2024/01/27/the-correct-way-to-expand-the-microsd-card-root-partition-for-openwrt/Sat, 27 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://nefarius.at/2024/01/27/the-correct-way-to-expand-the-microsd-card-root-partition-for-openwrt/I recently purchased a FriendlyARM NanoPi R4S I plan to use as a router in a project I’ll blog about later on, so I downloaded the firmware image and flashed it onto the 64 GB MicroSD card using balenaEtcher.

How code is designed, that is the real fun. 🎮 Gaming peripherals Looking for an expert for gaming devices? I develop drivers, create API-hooks and emulate frameworks.
