Have you ever wondered how NASA updates Voyager's software from 15 billion miles away? Or how Voyager's memories are stored? In this video, we dive deeper into the incredible story of how a small team of engineers managed to keep Voyager alive, as well as how NASA could perform a software update on a computer that's been cruising through space for almost half a century.

I've been looking into putting together a home office setup for remote development and stumbled upon this nice home automation project by David Zhang, where they use a Raspberry Pi with a customized num pad to control almost every day-to-day arrangement of their office, from desk hight, KVM input/output switching, lighting, all the way to tiling window management. Looks like they've also published the combination of Auto Hotkey, Home Assistant and ESPHome scripts in order to work, including links to dependencies:

• https://github.com/davidz-yt/desk-controller
• https://github.com/jfedor2/hid-remapper
• https://github.com/phord/Jarvis

Anyway, I'm looking forward to scripting a similar setup once I've gathered the general equipment, and figured other programmers might similarly appreciate the ergonomics in such an automated workflow.

P.S. Any suggestions for a developer picking items for a new remote office from scratch would also be appreciated. E.g. office equipment recommendations like desk, chair, screen mounts, AV accessories.
