Hearing radio astronomy objects is actually fairly easy on the 2m amateur band with a small array. Here a 4x7 element array easily hears the Sun and Sagittarius A. This from an urban backyard!
I was unable to pull the data wire, since the duct was obstructed, so I went the wireless way. Next step: attempting to switch telemetry from legacy to standard format.
j'avais évité ce truc car zéro intégration avec home-assistant et pas envie de bricoler... dommage ça semblais quand meme intéressant. enfin, 50€ pour ça ça reste quand même du vol.
Let's talk about how relays work, and how we can use them in basic circuits :)I scanned The Design of Switching Circuits and uploaded to the Internet Archive...

We have to deromanticize community. It's not some pristine untouched forest of soft moss and good vibes. The corporations count on that misconception to stripmine us for content.
Community has always been as weird and messy as humans are. It's work. It's relationships. It's hard. There isn't a magic number. They aren't inherently anticommercial. They don't all look or act the same.
It’s almost 2023. The world is different, the online world is very different, and I’m pushing 50. So I think it’s time we all start talking about online gathering places with a mo…
I slept very poorly last night due to the news that Musk gave privileged / possibly PII & DM level access of Twitter mod access to a variety of strident anti-LGBTQ (especially anti-trans) bigots who masquerade as journalists. This is an incident which would require user notification under California law, if it weren’t for the platform owner granting it. It still might be a violation of privacy laws. It’s absolutely a disaster for all LGBTQ people who used Twitter.
In short: presume that transphobes & homophobes in the employ of theofascists with ties to foreign governments can read your Twitter DMs & aren’t bound by any NDA, & will use that information however they please.
there's an option to download your data in the settings. When I did that with FB, it downloaded those conversations as well. Maybe do that before deleting everything?
@CordiallyChloe Thank you thank you thank you! I downloaded my data in April. My convos are in a zip file backed up to long term storage only I and my family have access to. You just set my heart at ease ❤️

It's incorrect. The Slack DMs are screenshots because they have direct access to them. However they only have picture of a screen of the Twitter admin panel because they weren't given full access to them, they were only given access to the given pictures.
The Twitter employee whose admin access was used explained it but I can't find it again.
Elmo is a a**hole but we should still be accurate.
Musk gave Bari Weiss some level of employee-privileged access to the control / moderator functions of Twitter. We already knew from Pieter Zatko’s whistleblowing that there are few, if any, meaningful data controls on Twitter once past the perimeter. So we have to assume that Bari Weiss’ cohort of Culture War Manufacture LLC have read DMs. And if so, are likely to behave as if they’re not subject to the implied and explicit privacy regs attached to Twitter user data.
Got recognized in the street by somebody I either don't know or don't remembered 💀💀 0/10 won't recommend the associated feelings. I wonder how famous people cope with this.
In August 2011, Los Alamos techs posed 8 plutonium rods on a work table to take a few photos.
Had these rods rolled into each other there would have been an instant criticality event. (Think "Demon Core")
Worst still, a supervisor who saw the display ordered the techs to safe the rods, ignoring the protocol to evacuate EVERYBODY (b/c even a hand could moderate the neutrons & cause criticality).
Background There is growing evidence that patients recovering after a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection may have a variety of acute sequelae including newly diagnosed diabetes.
For #TDoR2022, I'm having a thought for @lumi_enby@twitter.com who left us on Dec 31st, as well as all of us who didn't make it because of transphobia. We miss you.🕯️ #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance
Finally got rid of Google Authenticator (I'm using Aegis as a replacement). The transfer was a bit tedious, because you need to export up to 4~6 accounts each time with the QR code technique but it worked.
Watching the wild ride that is South Australia power network islanded and having too much uncontrollable power generation (solar). They are apparently tapping sub station transformers to beyond 253v to trip solar inverters.
are there reliable ways in which to control household solar outside of tripping inverters? I like that our power is green, but uncontrolled grid not so good.
@ellie AEMO / South Australia introduced some standards / policies around inverters being remotely controllable (DPVC) however this is fairly recent, so not many inverters have this
@ellie from what my SA friends told me they connect to your inverter to your wifi / and connect to it remotely. it all seems hacky and needs inverters that are supported by the program - but apparently required for new installs.
@ellie TF? Sounds like it'd need to phone home unless port forwarded, but ... something Target something hvac something disaster, but inflicted on the population by the government.
we had an outage here last weekend, things died with weird noises. Reset mains, and some things came on but ups's still beeping.
UPS stats say Input voltage: 74
but spot on 50Hz, which isn't how AC under-supply is supposed to work.
I'm guessing we were islanded, but there was enough solar that a bunch of people's inverters were still keeping clock and trying to feed power. Which clearly they shouldn't.
Weird case of needing more load to cause shutdown, but heavier loads wouldn't start and all that was left was a bunch of switchmode and LED lights and such.
that brings back bad memories of a Christmas eve back in the UK when the cooling at one of the DC's we managed hardware in failed causing a cascading failure of _everything_ and the number of servers and UPSs beeping :|
Was >45°C air temp on the data floor, in UK Winter when it was snowing outside.
not something I wish to repeat for sure. Most of the places I worked in moved to the high mist systems with the double knock to kill power and localised suppression which was less horrible.

There's a lot more to play around with for sure, but this is a good starting point to make your own bot or client. You could have it chunk up messages to fit your instance's character limit and then send posts in a thread. The pastabilities are endless.
a couple of years ago I wrote a (partially complete) "Modbus Tweets" account on the bird site. Never finished it. Kinda wanna dust it off for Mastodon though. I was going to have one of my home's lights operable via @ and DM, just base64 encode a modbus request and get a base64-encoded response...
@reverseics that's such a sick idea. The twitter dev API is annoying because you need to apply to do an application and can get rejected (like me) for not having a good enough reason to have a token. There's a lot of potential for really easy automation with mastodon and enough access controls to make it work without as much hassle
7th month. Interaction between Fexofenadin and Spiro is confirmed, as far as I'm concerned. Since I've stopped the former on last month, the latter's effects have been reduced, which can be seen by the reduced K levels in blood. Let's see what gives with blood pressure tomorrow. T: 0.96 nmol/L (-0.14), E2: 382 pmol/L (+11), LH: 0.3 U/L (-0.18), FSH: <0.11 U/L (same as last mo.) #HRTDiary
Same settings as last time (13J/cm², 3ms pulses, 755nm), but with a wider diameter. Jaw line is still the most sensitive part, but the improvement is undeniable. 💜✨
I keep seeing people say Mastodon is nothing like Twitter. And they’re right.
Mastodon is an echo of the old internet, it’s decentralised, chaotic. What you get depends on your sysadmin. You can’t search, everything has to be shared to you by a human. Networks split apart and rejoin. What you see is your unique connection to it.
Is this good? Maybe. But for me that’s the internet I grew up with. No algorithms, no targeted adverts, just human interaction, and it was glorious.
This also is very much like early Twitter. I joined in 2007. Twitter was a cheap group SMS service, it connected you to your friends not to companies and celebrities.
I get that I’m not like most people. I grew up in a very conservative rural area so the internet has always been my connection to friends and peer groups, a way to converse with people rather than a way to escape or get famous.
@Jelora, est-ce que serveur minitel est encore opérationnel? Je viens d'apprendre que Xtel est encore packagé sur Debian, et si c'est encore le cas, je vais sortir mon Sportster Flash pour tester ça :3
hmmm sur les autres services minitels (3611.re, 3614, computel) j'ai pas de soucis, mais sur le tiens jelora dès l'affichage de la page d’accueil mon minitel beep en continu et des touches au pif sont envoyés, je pige pas
@dashie Mon serveur est bien toujours en ligne mais il se peut que le problème vienne parfois de la conversion analogique vers VoIP chez moi Il y a parfois des petits drops de son sans que je sache pourquoi (paquets réseaux pas assez vite transmis ?) Computel utilise le même boitier VoIP que moi mais les autres que tu cites font appel à un modem virtuel qui convertit directement en VoIP
J'arrive à me connecter et à utiliser les touches spéciales, mais les frappes clavier ne sont pas reconnues... Ré-essayé depuis X11 au lieu de Wayland, et sur un autre numéro, mais c'est pas mieux. Il va falloir que je gratte pour voir ce qui ne va pas...
@[object Otter] modem sportster flash sur un PAP2T. Dans la mesure où les touches spéciales du client fonctionnent bien, je ne pense pas que ça vienne de la. Je suis en G711a lors des appels (codec standard pour les appels data, les annulateurs d'écho sont bien paramétrés pour sauter dès réception de la tonalité ANSam). Je suis sur une ligne VoIP OVH.
d'ailleurs mon minitel a un répondeur télématique, et le minitel-server peut être rendu accessible depuis l'exterieur. mais je ne sais pas trop comment tu emmet l'appel et si tu peux saisir une extension après que ça décroche
en gros dès que ça décroche y'a une fenêtre de 4 secondes pour composer une extension pendant laquelle ça beep ou musique ou whatever je sais plus, ensuite ça fallback
Vraiment curieux. J'ai re-testé avec le HP modem ouvert en permanence: on entend bien le canal de retour moduler, mais ça ne réagit pas en face... Est-ce que tu as un service qui permet de montrer ce que les touches clavier donnent?
Pour l'instant c'est surtout s'assurer d'être facilement trouvable grâce à cet outil, car peu de monde (en tout cas dans la twittosphère fr) y à déjà associé ses deux comptes. Mais plus l'usage se répand dans nos communautés, plus ça sera utile :).
Hi all, this account is still active, I'm planning to use it in case #deletetwitter takes form. TBH, I need to check if I can use something to cross-post to the blue bird from here, it would be a good solution.
@f4grx I do use the crossposter, but only with toots or tweets with a specific hashtag and tbh I use that mostly for statuses with pictures/videos from mobile to avoid having to do two times the thing :P
