This repository is organized into multiple sub-projects, each focusing on a specific domain or technology:

• ESP8266: A Wi-Fi microchip-based NTP server for IoT applications.
• ANN: Implementation of artificial neural networks for Arduino and ESP32 platforms.
• Blockchain: Bitcoin infrastructure and live network mapping tools.
• CNC: Desktop AppImage for CNC milling machines and 3D printers.
• HA Cluster: High Availability clusters for IT resource management.
• Gekko M4 Globular Cluster Cryptocurrency: Sustainable personal finance modeling.
• Explore additional projects like CityGenerator, CDN JsDelivr, and more.

This repository adopts various software architecture patterns to enhance modularity, scalability, and maintainability. Some notable patterns include:

1. Layered Architecture:
   • Projects like ANN and ESP8266 utilize layered designs, separating hardware interfacing, communication protocols, and logic layers.
2. Event-Driven Architecture:
   • The Blockchain and Gekko M4 sub-projects utilize event-driven principles to react to real-time data changes.
3. Microservices and Modular Design:
   • Projects such as HA Cluster and CNCjs are designed to function as independent modules, making them reusable and flexible.
4. Client-Server Architecture:
   • IoT-related projects like ESP8266 NTP Server implement client-server communication models.

Description:
The HA Cluster Project focuses on deploying High Availability (HA) Clusters effectively to ensure continuous availability of critical IT resources and services.

Key Features:
