close2on Backblaze drive stats for Q2 2026

You are left behind. That's like saying: "I am using punch cards for programming and I feel left behind as others are using real-time IDEs" You don't need to vibe code (and even this is only a matter of time as llms become better and better), but not using AI at all will definitely leave you behind.

close2on Speech Recognition and TTS in less than 500kb

close2on ESP32 based old clock controller, with NTP sync

I've also written a controller for those slave clocks. Instead of an ESP32 I used an ESP8266. [1] and [2]

Those slave-clocks are pretty loud. Both versions have a way to pause the clock.
