You guys have no idea of the combo pain of being a perfectionist and hating JavaScript at the same time :P On an unrelated note, this took me one day from scratch (no starting design, just blank canvas brainstorming). #darkbio

Progress at 2PM vs. 6PM, today 🤩

While waiting for my 2nd CNC prototype - having already finished the 3rd design I didn't even order yet - here's me playing with the 1st prototype :) #darkbio PCB courtesy of PCBWay, CNC courtesy of JLCCNC, certain internals courtesy Prusa3D (and me).

Saturday morning tweaks: fancy boot progress! 🥹

Proof of concept (physical) packaging made by yours truly 😇 Not final yet, but you see who I aimed at 🙈. Currently getting some sample prints done on diff materials to see which feels better. Then will spend a bit on time tweaking the top and lighting LEDs. Dark Bio

Oh, lookie, just got a Verified badge from GitHub 😋

Well, making a packaging inlay (i.e. the thing in the box that separates your stuff) out of moulded pulp costs $2000+ setup fee 😅... Fine for prod, but I'm not there yet. So, I've decided to design my own inlay 😋 Still work in progress (e.g. junk color), but it vörks 🥳

“Details matter, it’s worth waiting to get it right.”

Thinking of doing a security contest for the Dark Bio devices (far in the future): - Auction away a small number of devices (10-25). - Give people 2-3 months to hack / jailbreak them. - Anyone succeeding walks away with the pot. No jailbreak => pot used to bootstrap the launch.

Just guard it✔️

Slow at first, then all at once 🥹

Who's interested in becoming an alpha tester? ;) (aiming around August)

Trying to convince a friend to help me with my genomic project; his first question: "How can I debug the device"? Me: Ugh, you need a dev board and a custom prototype assembly. Him: ... Me: Oh FFS, I'll make you a shell access to the thing. A month later: It vörks 😊

New root of trust for my genomic Arks. 🥳 Because I don't want to trust myself to not mess up handling the root keys. Also because I can generate an audit log of signatures to prove nothing malicious was ever signed. #yubihsm #darkbio

Just had breakfast with Péter Szilágyi and Dark Bio here in Zug. Welcome to switzerland Péter and may you one day come back to Ethereum. 🫡🫡🫡

Do I know anyone in my follower list who can do a small text animation for a mobile app startup screen? It's for my Dark Bio project, looking to start with the logo, then have the DNA strand animated to unwind into a D and then have "ark Bio" appear afterwards.

The Ark companion app just got a facelift :) It's not yet coded up so the small details are not final, but definitely shaping up to look amazing 😊

Heh, I just recreated my old #golang #Ethereum log styling in #Grafana for #Cloudflare workers 🥰

First develop device to be shared with someone 🥹 Yes, it is 3D printed to allow roughing it and taking it apart if need be. Still looks gorgeous... 🤩
