Nach dem Abschied von Facebook & Instagram, nun auch TwitterX habe ich alle kommerziellen, sog. sozialen, oft aber antisozialen Medien hinter mir gelassen. Plane daher auch weiterhin nicht, auf BlueSky zu gehen, sondern möchte mich erst einmal auf das Fediversum – auf den Blog, Mastodon, Pod- und Videocasts – beschränken. Ja, ich hoffe gar, dass mit KI-Anwendungen das Fediversum erstarkt und ein Verebben antisozialer Medien einsetzt. https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/warum-ich-im-fediversum-bleibe-aber-nicht-auf-bluesky-wechsele/#comment-157679

Finde es echt stark, dass Sie sich auf seriöse und relevantere Plattformen beschränken. Das würde auch anderen grossen Accounts guttun.
Den destruktiven Elementen sollte das soziale Internet nicht überlassen werden.
Hier bei Mastodon finden sich noch die normaleren Leute, die ich auch lieber mag.

Now sitting on the balcony doing FT8 on 20m with my new #sbitx, and although I don't fully like the UI, its really working surprisingly well.
Especially that you just have plug in coax and power and are ready to go is really nice.

The main thing I don't like on the #sbitx display is that if there's enough going on, stations calling you just scroll away. I don't need most of the (left) spectrum display, but a list of calling/called stations would really be nice.
But I have to say, that's a bit nitpicking and I could implement it myself ;)

We’re thrilled to introduce 4K Executable Graphics - our newest addition to the competition line-up! All information regarding Compo rules and deadlines can be found on our website.
Show us what you got! 👨🎨 🖼️
But how do executable graphics work? Let‘s dive into it!
🧑🏻🏫 Imagine you’ve got 4 kilobytes space to encode the most awesome image you can produce. Photos are several megabytes, right? And if you zip-compress them or save as JPEG? A bit smaller, but still orders of magnitude more than 4 kilobytes.
So, the techniques gotta be different from usual if you want to impress with your image. You would not encode pixel colors, or palette indices - instead, competitors calculate pixel colors from pixel coordinates on their graphics cards!
Entries in this competition are executables, with mathematical instructions how to compute the final and very awesome image, just from parameters, using curves and surfaces, evaluated per-pixel.
Sounds mad? 😲 Damn right, expect some serious mathematical, technical and also artistic skills being shown off in this competition! 💪

The MEGA65's injection molded plastic case is held together with three screws that go directly into the plastic. I routinely open my case for things, and also travel with it, so I wondered if I could mod the case for a more durable screw-hold solution.
I learned about "heat set inserts" and thought they'd be perfect if I could get them to work. It seemed unlikely but I thought I'd try it... 1/ 🧵
teilten dies erneut
Anyway, I cut the bolt, cleaned up the charred bits, and now my MEGA65 is back to normal, minus the middle case screw.
Except then I noticed that the MEGA65 wasn't booting from the external SD card...

Final verdict: I don't believe the MEGA65 case has enough plastic to support replacing case screws with heat-set inserts. Do not attempt.
I might have had a better result removing more plastic before trying the insert, and using a much lower iron temperature. Maybe if I were better with plastic I'd have more options for fixing or completing this idea. For me, I'm just going to stop here. Worth a shot.

This, or Superglue and Baking Powder - Have a look at youtube for inspiration 
Unfortunately in trying to fix what seemed like an obstruction in the slot, I think I bent a pin or something. The reader no longer works, and I'm not sure I can fix or replace it.
Lucky for me the MEGA65 has two SD card slots, and I also have a spare board. That's what I get for taking an interest in hardware. NO REGRETS. 😎
That is definitely the right attitude to get anywhere in hardware!
I broke and almost-broke quite a few of my early computers but gotten more careful with time. Yet, I think I would be a lot more skilled by now in electronics if I were as unafraid to make mistakes as I was back then. Instead, I work in software.. 😹
Personally, joining a local #RepairCafe has really helped me: no risk in breaking something that is already broken, you can only win! 😹

People have always been baffled as to why I refuse to get a Google account or a Discord account, or want programs I actually run locally, subscription-free. @pluralistic explains why:

“The graying open source community needs fresh blood • The Register”
https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/15/opinion_open_source_attract_devs/
The software industry is built on a foundation of junior developers being tasked to extract value by building on free code maintained by older people effectively working for free. But it's also both phasing out those junior developers in favour of a dude with LLMs, burning out the OSS maintainers at a record rate, and exceedingly prejudiced against older workers
This does not bode well for the future.
