The WLED project is something I have been meaning to use for a while but never got around to experimenting with until recently when I purchased some WS2812B Fairy Lights to decorate our living room with. The setup was easier than expected and the capabilities of this platform far exceeded my expectations.

I recently upgraded to a new PC which has multiple drives that I wanted to encrypt and decrypt these automatically on boot.

It’s been a while since I’ve had the need to intercept traffic from an Android when things were a lot less secure and you could just use a tool such as Charles Proxy as a proxy between your device.

I’ve been running an ESP32 NodeMCU in the bedroom for motion, temperature, and humidity for a while and have wanted to extend it’s functionality by adding light sensing too, in order to improve the motion light control to trigger when the lux is a certain level vs the current functional, but limited mode based on the position of the sun.

I was an avid user of custom ROMs for my Android phones when vendors used to stop providing updates or included too much bloat with their releases. However that stopped when I got a Moto X4 which was for me the right balance and it performed well.
