Yep, it's Fedora on KDE
Yes I did test that too! It seemed to sound a little nicer this way though, more cartoonish

Show HN: Make your Framework 12 sound like a creaky door

https://github.com/ArcaEge/creakwork12

I was poking through the iio devices on my Framework the other day and turns out Framework 12s have a pretty accurate hinge angle sensor! So I made a version of LidAngleSensor (https://github.com/samhenrigold/LidAngleSensor) but for the Framework 12 on Linux, so you can make your hinge sound rusty

You could, but from my measurements the capacitor tends to pull ~1A before it bursts, so you'd be running up against the 3A limit of USB. At voltages below 12V, they don't seem to go off reliably.

Show HN: Capacitor Alarm Clock

https://github.com/ArcaEge/capacitor-alarm-clock

I made an alarm clock that blows up capacitors to wake you up.There are more details on the Github repo but it's made from an esp32-c3 as the microcontroller, with 3 capacitor slots. There are relays on each capacitor slot to put 15v reverse voltage on the capacitor, with 5.1 ohm resistors on each slot for current limiting in case the capacitor shorts out. I also chucked in an SSD1315 OLED to...

I wish I could've made it there :/
