In an attempt to reduce parasitics I'm minimizing the breakout board leads.

The latest version of my frequency counter prototype using a Manhattan style construction.

If would seem Mastodon now handles long-form posts much better. In the timeline it will automatically add "See More" when a post is beyond a certain length. Does this mean we can do away with the rule to CW long messages?

I have to say, as much as I despise trump I have to give him credit for doing one very important thing. He has lowered taxes for everyone. While i may not agree with how he redistributes the money I absolutely agree with lowering taxes on all brackets.

Damnit, the design still isn't working as expected. Suggestions welcomed.

Anyone interested, dont forget to list yourselves in the new user directory. You can opt-in by updating your user settings. It makes it easier for people to find and follow you.

#QOTO is now officially on 2.7.0, enjoy.

Side note. I also brought up a discourse server for us to use and will slowly be bringing up a/back a few other servers in the qoto family helping us promote and discuss STEM (or just chat).

If you want to play around with the new discourse server while we figure out how we want to use it you can sign up and use it here:}

#QOTO ANNOUNCEMENT:

In about an hour or so the server will be going down to begin the upgrade process. This is a big upgrade so expect a longer than usual down time.

Good news fellow #QOTO members. I just finished upgrading the qoto source varient to pull in Mastodon upstream changes. The code base in github for qoto now has all the 2.7.0 changes incorporated while keeping the qoto modifications in tact.

The system admin team will now begin working on the upgrade itself. If all goes well we should be fully up to date in a day or two.

The best, deepest, dialogues they ever had on Star Trek: Voyager.

Janeway: Let me ask you something. If you were something other than a human being, if you were a different kind of animal... If you were a small bird, a sparrow - what would your world be like?

da Vinci: I should make my home in a tree, in the branch of an elm. I should hunt insects for food, straw for my nest, and in the springtime, I should sing for a companion.

Janeway: And you would know nothing of the politics of Florence - the cutting of marble or mathematics.

da Vinci: Of course not.

Janeway: But why not?

da Vinci: My mind would be too small.

Janeway: As a sparrow, your mind would be too small, even with the best of teachers?

da Vinci: If Aristotle himself were to perch on my branch and lecture till he... fell off from exhaustion - still the limits of my mind would prevent me from understanding.

Janeway: And as a man, can you accept that there may be certain realities beyond the limits of your comprehension?

da Vinci: If I could not accept that... then I would be a fool.

Compassion, not judgement... try it sometime

Perfectly sums up the lesson the vast majority of people on the left end of the political spectrum in english speaking countries desperately need to learn.

There is a sort of beauty in the order and chaos of a prototype design.

Just finished soldering together this frequency counter frontend.

Why is it whenever Trump talks it looks like he is sucking a ghost dick?

Its been years and I still miss my doggo... always.
