It's... wide.

I couldn’t resist. A few hours of soldering, one diode put in reverse direction, a few additional jumpers and #rc2014 is running with #cpm. Time to refresh DDT and undust #kermit program for #z80.
No problems with any module, good job @rc2014!

Installed Ubuntu LTS in a VM after having abandoned it for Debian several years ago, as first steps towards migrating a Win10 game server to Linux, because apparently Steam-adjacent stuff is best supported on Ubuntu.

Security updates are gated behind a subscription - yikes, the threat of microsoft doing this to Windows 10 is exactly why I'm looking to migrate!!!

Also the "App Center" pinned app is just snap-store, and it fails to update itself...because it's already running lmao. Why would you make an upp updater UI that can't update itself?!

We have a bit of unexpected wifi, so here are some hippo pics from the day. -S 🇧🇼

Pic of the day is early today because I'm awake and feeling restless and 'keyed up'.

Big inspiration from the @eulerroom Solstice feed today. Lots of experimentation and *so* many different platforms.

I'll be adding a +1 to that platform list. Coding visuals on #TIC80 at midnight GMT.
I'll be joined by my @creativecodeclub_ncl teammates, @vegemitepumpkin and Shelly Knotts, bringing their talents on @strudel ♥️

ok what if i hand draw ALL the traces front and back for this board? HMM

Enshittification of deliveroo means I spend none on deliveroo and more on supporting local business directly! Yes I have to drive for 5 minutes to pickup but seriously, fcuk Deliveroo! I am not paying £3/- for “super fast delivery”. if I had to wait two hours for food to be delivered I would cook it myself!!!!

🦛 After some great hippo sightings, we arrived at our bush camp. Surprisingly, we have a bar of cell coverage!

Tomorrow is an early 5am start for a game drive, followed by lunch and a siesta, and then an evening game drive before a late dinner.

Still need to make the back half...

... write the code for the inputs (still stuck on naming problems)...

... and get some shorter cables.

Also probably revise ALL the boards (ouch, costs).

@alpenglow THATS ALL I NEEDED! IMA DO IT

I require immense self-control at the drive thru

You still have people saying, "I don't see any evidence that Musk is a neo-Nazi." And it's like, I can't know what's in his heart, but he follows them on Twitter, retweets them, promotes their conspiracy theories, parrots their rhetoric, and now recommends their party for Germany. But who knows?

When I started my last programming job, my colleagues asked me what I was looking for and I blurted out "Enlightenment through LISP".

Working this job was in many ways the first time I got to practice balancing the written with the unwritten, thanks to the guidance of @mkvlr and influence of @jack

Sad how little I found this being practiced throughout my career as a programmer.

Economical Druthers

A local volunteer community encourages people to donate knitted or crocheted squares that can be made into blankets. Those blankets are then given to people who need them, often to people in shelters and temporary housing.

As someone who likes to crochet while watching TV, I saw this as a beneficial use of both my time and miscellaneous leftover yarn. Accordingly, last winter I donated a couple of blankets I had made and I also put together squares that others had made.

This winter I happened upon some very inexpensive yarn at a thrift store and used it to make squares that I hoped would one day become a blanket. I also used up my remaining supply of leftover yarn and these together created 68 squares.

As I looked at the instructions I had received from the volunteer group, I realized I didn’t have enough squares for a queen-size blanket which was their preference. A queen size requires 90 eight-inch squares and a twin size requires 54. When I first asked about this, my assumption was that they would need more twin-size blankets but it seems that there are more families in need than single individuals. So, the polite suggestion was that the larger blanket would be of more use.

My dilemma, then, was what to do with my inadequate supply of squares. Should I make more squares or donate what I had? I decided to donate what I had, but when I got to the volunteer centre I was told that they no longer accepted donations of squares! They already had lots of squares in storage and, instead, needed volunteers to put squares together. I said I would be happy to do that and they said they would be in touch when they had taken a batch out of the storage facility. They also said that they no longer had a supply of yarn that they could give me; the yarn fund had been exhausted.

My 68 squares, which were not quite enough for a blanket, still needed additional squares so I visited a couple of local thrift stores to see if they had any yarn I could use to finish the project. Unfortunately, I was surprised to find that the price of the donated skeins was quite high. It was too high to be a bargain and almost as much as I would pay for yarn on sale at a local department store. I was torn. I wanted to finish the blanket and I wanted to support the thrift store, but I didn’t want to pay so much for miscellaneous yarn. I would rather pay a little more and choose the texture, weight, and colour than I preferred.

I went online to find out the sale prices for yarn at the local craft stores and I also checked out Amazon. My preference is to shop local when possible, but when you are trying to put together a blanket out of leftover yarn, you lean towards the least expensive option. I ended up ordering from Amazon, even though I would much rather have bought from a local charity or craft store.

Sometimes, your druthers are just not economical.

Why are ethics questions always:

“Is it ethical to steal bread if your family is starving?”

And not:

“Is it ethical to hoard a million loaves of bread when other families are starving?”

I just got an email from my son’s teacher saying she had to take his chromebook away because he’s found a way to disable the software the school district uses to monitor their chromebook use

I also learned his school had to stop using some quiz software because he taught all his friends to go into the web inspector and cheat

As a parent, am I suppose to be upset with this? Because a 12yo going on github and looking for backdoors in software shows real initiative... I am awfully proud

I hope you’ve had a wonderful and peaceful solstice 🌙☀️ #solstice #illustration

Elon Musk and JD Vance publicly supporting the neo-Nazis of Germany's AfD, just as an AfD supporter/Elon Musk fan kills 5 and injures 100+ in a terrorist attack at a Christmas market in Germany. Vance's pro-AfD statement came *after* the attack. It's bad. Not sure what else to say. Dark times ahead.
