How Better Auth configuration is shared between the Astro runtime and CLI schema generation without sharing their environment-specific dependencies.

A home lighting system grown from experiments with WS2812B LEDs into independent installations, shared local control, and repurposed hardware.

Set up FreeCAD from its Linux AppImage with a permanent path, desktop launcher, optional icon, and a repeatable update process.

How Better Auth sessions are resolved into app-owned access context with Drizzle and exposed through Astro middleware and locals.

A practical process for estimating load, choosing a power budget, planning power injection, wiring multiple WS2812B sections, and configuring WLED.
