Chilli peppers & my latest Chilli pepper time lapse project here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX8C3mBhuGqQqPr0YbYSo9mDJjkzTFRSh which was rebuilding every 30 minutes displaying the latest videoi. Cactus, Drone photography, Cycling, Running, glass cutting, candle making, chilli sauce and jam making. Creating security systems using Raspberry pi and checkout my serverless recipe website here as I love my food too https://mbaileycooks.co.uk. These sites use the Hugo static web framework delivered using AWS S3 so serverless, the time lapse is on a raspberry pi using the same libraries that went to Mars on perseverance to send back video.
