I would think they may slowly move over, but yeah doesn't seem like it'll be overnight if at all

@freemo it's definitely easier said than done, but it sounds like you may need to take a step back from all of this

It's really apparent that it's causing you a ton of stress, and it's definitely easy to get caught up in all the negative aspects.

I hope you can keep in mind that there is a ton of really great aspects to qoto; namely the sheer number of really cool and intelligent people that are here. Honestly it feels amazing to have a community that breaks down some of the social stigma of talking to people with a higher social prestige, without having it yourself.

Trying to run the server is a lot of work, and it's clear you've put your heart into it; you wouldn't care this much about ensuring qoto is accessible and open to everyone who wants to join (within reason of course). I don't need to tell you that, but I feel it needs to be said just to put it in writing.

There arent pure good and bad people in the world, only people who strive to do what they think is good and those who are apathetic. As painful as it may feel, there is a point of diminishing returns for trying to convince some people. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try, just may need to switch up how you approach it.

In the end, I appreciate what you've done and continue to do and hope these issues can be resolved in a way that allows you to have some peace.

@hamster Damn I never realized it was from him! Yes, this is definitely it, since it is the VHS based one! Holy crap it’s been so long since I’ve seen it!

Here’s the actual instruction link: http://haze.concord.org/spbuild.html

@hamster I can’t find the original, as it was probably like 2005 to 2008 when it was available, but this is really close: https://makezine.com/article/science/more-on-building-sun-photometers/

@hamster oh yeah, for sure. Pn junction temperature sensors are common on ICs, since it's stupid cheap to add temperature die sensors that way.

And yeah, the LED stuff reminds me of a project I made from a make magazine years ago, like the really early ones, that had a transimpedance amplifier with green LEDs on the inputs, which the resulting voltage fed into this spreadsheet app the guy made to calculate air quality. Doubt the spreadsheet is still available, but I'll have to dig sometime to get the article

Still have the circuit laying around at my parents place; might be able to make a schematic from it

@hamster Probably would just be easier to use LEDs and photo transistors than this specific diode, but I’m assuming they all work on similar principles

@hamster So what you’re saying is… optical logic gates incoming ;)

@niconiconi

Make it only include timeline ads, with nothing else

Really drive that dystopic setting home

What do you mean this isn't a finished product? The cable connections are all there...

Wait there's firmware to write? Nah, who needs that

@Baley Super pretty!

Alright, another board done. At least they mainly get simpler since it's a lot of connectors

Plug in one to another, see if it explodes :p

@malcircuit the best aspects of social media, is the social part

Being able to meet people who are interested in similar things that I wouldn't have otherwise, is awesome

@stux that would be too easy unfortunately
