"Running a successful open source project is just Good Will Hunting in reverse, where you start out as a respected genius and end up being a janitor who gets into fights." - Bryne Hobart

Very exciting news for collectors of old cellphones:
There's ways again to get data connectivity on devices which don't support GPRS/packet data.

This Nokia Communicator 9110 is running DOS on a AMD x86 CPU and is connected to the internet via a 9600bps CSD call through a private GSM network!

The Osmocom free/open GSM stack gained CSD support over the last months and it now actually works :)

Your life should be more like a pie and less like an avocado⁠... especially if you're working today!

> Krytyka pojawia się nie tylko ze strony środowisk technicznych czy organizacji zajmujących się prywatnością, ale również ze strony organizacji i osób zajmujących się ochroną dzieci w Internecie.

> Czy w takim razie nie lepiej byłoby wsłuchać się w tę krytykę i propozycję odpowiednio zmodyfikować?

> Niekoniecznie, jeśli ma się bliskie związki z organizacją tworzącą komercyjne systemy skanowania i oznaczania treści.

Our current energy system is incredibly wasteful. About 2/3 of primary energy is lost in conversion processes.

The good news is that the potential for energy savings is huge too through improved energy efficiency and electrification.

Below is the example of the US.

I'm sick AND tired of everything, so don't tell me I can't multitask.

Viewing the partial annular #eclipse through a saltine cracker. Was tempted to butter up the findings, as they were a little dry and brittle.

W zeszłym roku spędziłem w naturze, nad jeziorem Dzierżno Duże 2 miesiące pracując i odpoczywając.

W tym roku 4 miesiące, nad mniejszym jeziorem, stacjonarnie bo plan podróży pokrzyżował bór zielony, śmiejąc się z nich ;)

W przyszłym roku zamierzam spędzić w ten sposób 6 miesięcy. Startując 1 maja. Przez zimę dostosuję sprzęt do niższych temperatur i większego zapotrzebowania na energię ze słońca.

Czy można żyć, pracować i wypoczywać w pięknych miejscach naszego kraju, offgrid i całkowicie niezależnie? Przez 4 miesiące?

Sprawdziłem, tak.

Będę miał teraz sporo czasu by wszystko opisać, w tym moje sprawdzone, ale i chybione rozwiązania techniczne, na nowopowstającym blogu w #Fediverse.

Zapraszam już dziś, zaanonsuję niebawem :)

the funniest thing in the Apple is the last version of MacOS features "video reactions" where if your camera sees you do a thumbs up or heart symbol with your hands, stuff happens behind you like fireworks in ANY video app you are using BY DEFAULT.

A friend was in an online therapy session, describing his trauma so the therapist asked if he was alright and he did a thumbs up and then HUGE FIREWORKS BEHIND HIS HEAD.

It's so bad that online therapy sessions now start with a warning dialog!

I am my husband's caregiver, mostly because his many cancer treatments have left him with neuropathy in his hands. He isn't able to take care of everything that he needs to take care of himself because his hands don't always work.
At least once a day, I get out supplies, and he has to lay down so I can help him.
As soon as Summer sees me setting up, she parks herself on her nearby bed so she can see what's going on and be out of the way. She doesn't make a sound until we are done.
As soon as she sees me picking up, she runs over to lick his cheek before he can sit up.
She really is as sweet as I toot she is.

@erinwhalen He may have been a scammer. According to this article, which is supported by contemporaneous newspaper reports, Cove was arrested for fraud. His device didn't generate electricity, and the batteries he claimed it was charging were actually being charged by the household electricity supply. bellingcat.com/news/2023/08/16

This story is NUTSO. Who knew that a Canadian inventor had created working solar panels as early as 1905 – and that him being KIDNAPPED is what possibly derailed the evolution of solar tech for decades?

(I thought the story might be exaggerating that last point until I saw the kidnappers' conditions for his release... 😲)
