• Reverse engineering the Hyundai Bluelink and Kia Connect Apps

  I recently bought a Hyundai Ioniq 6; it’s a fantastic car that I’m enjoying a lot, and I only have a couple of nits with it that I’ve largely gotten over now.

• Running Hifiberry OS with an IQaudIO DAC+

  HifiberryOS is a small, functional OS that supports multiple audio sources (Bluetooth, Spotify, Airplay, etc) and has a great looking web interface to control it. However, the only officially supported hardware is Hifiberry’s own DACs (which is reasonable).

• Installing Realtek RTL8125B drivers on Proxmox

  I run my router as an opnsense VM inside Proxmox, and recently upgraded to a new RTL8125B 4x 2.5GbE card. Opnsense was happy with it, but I had quite a bit of jitter and dropped packets. Because Opnsense gets a virtualised bridge, I needed to update the Realtek drivers in the Proxmox host instead.

• Playing Switch games at 4K

  After working on plex-placebo, I realised that I could potentially use Anime4K for upscaling my Switch games. Turns out it works perfectly! Nowadays, you can get a 1080p60 capture card for ~AUD$120, so it’s essentially a $120 upgrade to play Switch games on your PC at up to 4K – totally worth it imo.
