I think some displays allow fast enough updates for that. But the early versions of the Divoom didn't have enough docs and/or had broken firmware and wouldn't show any custom gifs I sent it. But it's been working great for me for a few years now as a wall clock/weather display.

Finally got around to writing it about this yesterday, actually. https://ryanmpoe.com/2026-01-03-weather-pixel-art/

Happy coincidence, OP!


Posted this because I didn't see it, just now getting back (toddler).

I started messing with this yesterday and was able to get a fully functional refactor engine (complete with code review, running tests, building TS, etc.) going in less than a day.

We were looking for a tool to bake into our developer tooling that supports things like this, and this GenAIScript project has been perfect so far. Definitely doesn't seem quite ready to embed this into customer-facing stuff, but I'm finding it tremendously helpful for LLM-powered tooling!

Many thanks, pelikhan, for publishing this!


Just some random capitalist virtue signaling. Not really an expression people use.


I wouldn’t overthink their comment. It’s just a standard racism. Using DEI as slang for people of color is a 2023/2024 era dog whistle.


Oh neat. It seems useful to manage this through a CLI tool! I wonder if something like this can build in protections for common dot file mistakes like accidentally committing API keys in one’s dot files?

Nice idea!


You can put something like detect-secrets[1] in a commit hook.

  no_secrets=$(git diff --staged --name-only -z | xargs -0 detect-secrets-hook --baseline .secrets.baseline)
  test -z $no_secrets && exit $no_secrets

Concur. Elm is an excellent addition to one's development quiver. Its strictness made me a far better, more careful programmer, and the push toward functional, side-effect free programming styles (something also coming from the React community) has been a huge boon to the JS world. Loving the current state of JS!


They are shipped here over sea lanes made safe by the trillions the US and other countries pay to make them safe; to fly in airspace made safe and regulated by those same countries; to be shipped to individual stores over roads built and maintained by taxpayer dollars that allow such wide open shipping lanes; allowed to move from truck to store and stay in said store before the point of sale to me and other buyers safely by a police force also paid for by taxpayers.


Net neutrality has only existed since 2015. It's vital because it halted a bunch of attempts by cable companies to shake down businesses (small and large) and their potential customers for extra money for prime access to pipes. Dismantling net neutrality won't open up new markets. It will make cable companies the gateways to those markets, and essentially cripple innovation the same way cable companies crippled television by having an iron grip on channels, packaging, and all the other nonsense we deal with today in cable TV.
