I know jack about hardware and had to Google ESP32, but as another SRE I've built many fun things with Raspberry Pis. How hard is the hardware part to get your head around?
It's possible, but finasteride doesn't cause weight gain or muscle loss. In fact, it slightly increases free testosterone due to less of it being converted to DHT. He probably just got older and became less active.
Yes, finasteride can cause a very slight estrogen increase (~15%) but nothing like bodybuilders who inject anabolic steroids for example (3x-5x+ increase). It's similar to the estrogen bump from gaining 10-15 pounds of fat. In any case, it doesn't cause weight gain or muscle loss.
How long ago is this? I literally just had one done, believed what you just wrote, and then came across this video randomly yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL7J2Mqbhrc
I think the finasteride side effects sound too much for me to handle.

That's the bit that puts me off. I don't mind my baldness - it doesn't impact me in any way. I wouldn't mind being able to have hair again to style it, but not at the expense of the potential side effects of fin.
I'll just continue to enjoy not having to style my hair every morning, and saving on extortionate barber bills nowadays.
