OSS development could be fun if people saw you as a person instead of as free infrastructure to take for granted

AMD (Xilinx) are no longer supporting Linux in the free version of #Vivado. You need to pay at least $1200/year! www.amd.com/en/products/... This makes no sense to me. This will make it harder for people to learn and get into #FPGA. 🤔

Introduce yourself with 10 bands you've seen live VNV Nation Project Pitchfork Front Line Assembly Moonspell Skinny Puppy Children of Bodom In Flames Within Temptation Flesh FIeld Master Boot Record

forget sharing the last picture you saved, i want to see the first picture on your phone

typical Alastair Reynolds rambling four pages about the lighthugger Gnostic Ascension's information processing architecture i guess this kind of thing is very doable now, he's basically describing an inverted tree of communicating agents of increasing levels of intelligence and abstraction

though it's frustrating, I never consider a failed effort to be a complete waste. You have a better understanding of the frontier's boundary now. And it's a strange frontier.

Batesian mimicry in drones.

did anyone ever figure out how to get openrgb to automatically set color profiles when a device is reconnected? currently i have to manually click "rescan devices" "load profile" that seems kind of suboptimal. running latest git version, and can't find it in settings

C2+C3. it's overhyped and not applicable to everything, but that doesn't make it less of a powerful or important tech. that's part of the uncertainty/discovery phase

rotors working too!

Okay now we're talking.

just got a USB hub with an on/off button per port, it's such an incredible usability improvement if you have devices you need to reset all the time during development. no more replugging

The art of arranging marine algae into designs, bouquets, and even sometimes intricate little scenes, was surprisingly popular in the 19th century. See an album of such pictures by a woman named Eliza A. Jordson here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/album-of-seaweed-pictures-1848

my embassy-rs based flight controller firmware can now receive stick values over ELRS and set the RGB leds accordingly, as well as send back IMU orientation telemetry to the RC. it's a start!

sigh, the 2.4GHz spectrum, as well as other WIFI bands, in this building are so blanketed they could as well be being jammed. just ordered a 20m ethernet cable to properly wire up things

Etymology of "desire": from the stars

still the most memorable killphrase ever

the nice thing about WS2812-ish being sort of the standard LED driver nowadays is that basically all LEDs are individually addressable (which means more debugging bandwidth if you're using blinking LEDs for that, lol)

when Reynolds wrote this, papers writing themselves must have seemed so futuristic

slightly increase a band Ada Crow

Solo-Mining #bitcoin in 2026 with my excess solar energy. NerdQaxe++ #bitaxe 5TH/s (or 800_000 statistical years to block).

is this getting out of hand

This is probably the coolest thing I've seen in a while

...Hey does anyone have 650,000 dollars I could borrow?

slightly increase a band Front 243

The parable of the 100 blind processes and the elephant

The Birds! feed is cool because you can see weird creatures like this looking towards the camera.

Dystopian novel where only old, out of touch people are enthusiastic about technology

what's it with LLMs randomly, inconsistently, without any explanation **emphasizing** markdown table fields in documentation they generate. stop it lol that's annoying!

tired: figure out sixel, kitty protocols inspired: draw images and custom fonts in the terminal by simply making the font size small enough so that glyphs are pixels

vibe biosynthesis vibe symbiogenesis vibe self-assembly

if RDMA-over-ethernet wasn't cursed enough for you, we're now introducing RDMA-over-ELRS

PSA: Run this on your repos and blog posts now ⚠️ s/WASM/Wasm/g I’ll only accept WASM in SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE for some or other reason when you need to. Thank you for your attention to this matter of international diplomacy. webassembly.org

anyone have an idea what component this could be? - ToF sensor w/ 8051 core, accessed through I2C - idenification: read from register 0x06 returns 0xD8 (there's also 0xA0/0xA1 revisions in a different register) approximate shape of the I2C address space layout:

it will absolutely help you port a FOSS flight controller firmware to a closed-source quadcopter platform

everything's on fire anyway, so went to see butterflies !

probably lost one of my servers in this datacenter fire today www.omroepflevoland.nl/nieuws/46990...

bahahaha friend's phone's "intelligent" photo categorization, classified a photo she took of me under "pets" what does this meann

for sure, 90%+ of bots here get this one thing wrong

"why is godot crashing inside the nvidia driver?" "oh, it's Qwen taking up 100% of both GPU's memory again"

3C 403 with the jet marked in green. The astrophysical jet originates from the supermassive black hole in the center of this #galaxy. The black hole shines bright because it is feeding on material from an accretion disk. #JWST NIRCam (F444W) from this program: www.stsci.edu/jwst-program...

Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove-JVN Photo: It has been almost 9mo since last eruption at Sundhnúkagígar in Iceland ended. During eruption I recorded this brief clip of so-called “lava fall”, waterfall of flowing lava. To get good angle,I positioned drone at same level as the fall,right above hot lava field

Thankfully the theory was disproven, as it fails to explain the presence of the cosmic microwave background. But yes... the universe probably needs to get more high-quality sleep. As do we all! 😂

i need a BCI to just note my thoughts down during walks because the act of [pulling out my phone/notepad/voice recorder and trying to put them into words] takes up like 70% of my RAM and my brain offloads most of the details directly into /dev/null faster than I can record the first word

I've released my experimental Open Tree of Life browser at iphylo.org/ott-viewer. You can navigate the Open Tree of Life synthesis tree in all its (complicated) glory. Single click on a node for information, double click to focus on that node, search for node by name.

big missed opportunity that moonlight doesn't have a way to save the video stream locally

somehow i always end up using the kde/qt tools (latest thing is qpdfview supporting tabbed reading where evince does not), maybe i should just own it and finally switch to kde i've really tried to like you gnome
