A few months ago I started building a rally computer out of an ESP32 and some assorted bits and bobs. It kept crashing. So I did the only reasonable thing, bought a thinkpad on Craigslist, installed Linux, and started writing the same thing in Python¹.
It's actually going pretty well²!
1: Why python, when I'm much more fond of other languages? Good library support for gpsd and ncurses.
2: insofar as I had to force myself to stop tinkering with it because it was after midnight

PENELOPE PITSTOP, at a small town cafe getting a soup-and-sandwich lunch ahead of preparations for an open-road rally: If there's one thing this gal cares about, it's avoiding the whole delusion of "the ideal body," plain and simple. Gals like myself can't prefer taking chances over getting noticed, so explaining my desire to enjoy some decent home-type cooking over starvation dieting!

Anyways, the real heroes of the Dakar are the support/medical staff because I would have already strangled half of the participants. "I can still go on, help me lift my bike" sir, your bike is missing a wheel and you have a gash on your forehead that requires multiple stitches, settle down.
