Tillitis Key 1
The secret project I’ve been mentioning in my gemlog is out!
This week we presented the Tillitis Key 1 at the Open Source Firmware\
Conference (OSFC). What we unveiled is a new kind of USB security
stick and a new company, a sister company to Mullvad VPN: Tillitis.
The stick is a small computer that can load and run small programs
uploded to it from a host computer. It always measures … ⌘ Read more
It seems that mobile reception along German high-speed train routes has improved lately (at least compared to 2019). I’m sitting in an ICE 4 between Hanover and Hamburg, and I’ve initiated a speed test via USB tethering. My mobile phone contract is limited to 10 Mbps, but I seem to be able to take full advantage of that. ⌘ Read more
Stream a USB webcam to HDMI on a Raspberry Pi
This post exists to collect my notes on displaying a USB webcam on the Raspberry Pi HDMI outputs. This is not the same as streaming the webcam (easy), and this is not for use with the Raspberry Pi camera module. This is specifically for USB UVC webcams. ⌘ Read more
How to convert USB webcams to HDMI
There are a handful of interesting USB webcams out there, which naturally work great with a computer. But what if you want to combine video from a USB webcam with your HDMI cameras in a video switcher like the ATEM Mini? ⌘ Read more

I have ~10 different kinds of USB cables/adaptors, and I can’t make the conversion I need.😞
MX Workbench, a live-USB Linux build made with MX tools is that is meant to be a “Swiss Army” kind of tool for sysadmins, containing a bunch of useful programs. ⌘ https://sourceforge.net/projects/mx-linux/files/Community_Respins/

Previous best: plugging a USB foot switch into the iPad to make it turn the page.
My USB power brick says to cycle the charge in it every so often, so I had it keep my iPad powered up away from any outlet. Fully drained it and plugged it in to a powered-off computer to recharge. Overnight, it’s only recharged…halfway. Didn’t expect the recharge to be this slow.
I need to bring my piratebox to my new job :) It wasn’t really exploited in the former one, it even got the USB stolen, but I love it and I want it used
so glad USB phone tethering exists. no way am I going to stumble through wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli to connect to coffeeshop wifi
USB PD Stand-alone Sink Controller (USB-C power module) ⌘ https://blog.oxplot.com/usb-pd-standalone-sink-controller/
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org that sucks. Hope the USB Dongle works out for you.
It seems like every time I reboot, Ubuntu manages to forget about another piece of hardware I have. First it was the USB controller, then the wifi (still not fixed), and now it’s my sound card.
Bad idea of the day: a fuzzer disguised as a usb charger
