@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe It'll get smaller, as most things tech do. I'd not be surprised to see atomic 3d printing before I'm 80. It'd be a replicator from Star Trek, but probably a little slower. #makersHour
@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe I hope that people will still want to knit things by hand. I'm less optimistic about my profession, but I'm trying to carry on regardless #MakersHour
@mike @MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe I tried an esp32, couldn't get it to play nice and take code relating to the wifi module without a bootloop happening, and it's languished in the drawer since... still using arduino nano v3 clones! #makersHour
@MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe A4 #makershour I'm not sure the world "needs" what I make... though dragons and little folk... they make ME smile 👍🏻 but there will always be strings and things to mess about with so I'll never run out of materials completely.
Went to an Ionity Car charger in Peterborough today. The central card reader is broken so I had to use the website.
Whilst I was there I selected an invoice. This required me to put in my home address.
Big fail, it insisted on me entering a house number but it had to consist of digits and wouldn't accept a house name. There are many houses in the UK without numbers.
Q6: In the Wokcracy we do six questions! (Hang on. Where’s Q5?) So, you're in a holodeck, what's the first thing you'd conjure? And yes, the Safe For Work filter is on.

A4: Too late. Tech is constantly evolving and allowing for things to be mass produced that *look* handmade. I don’t make to sell but very few people will pay the prices when they can get something made last Tuesday and shipped to them for £10 that looks the part.
@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe the Library at Alexandria! #MakersHour
@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe Probably somewhere in space. Get some perspective! #makersHour

@MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe
A6 #makershour a guarantee of security of tenure. I live in fear of having no safe place to live and grow old comfortably. I'm not planning to ever stop working/being useful. I don't need endless leisure and exotic holidays... just a safe home
It's funny to get wintery prompts in Summer, especially after a warm sunny day like today. The white doesn't show so well, but if you look closely there is some #frost on the window. #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #undatedA5 #InkyParker51
@fediforum Fedi Guys, who is planning to come to Bolzano?
I am going to be going on one of the longest hikes I have done in ages this weekend as we complete the last leg of the Viking Way.
I know it is going to be hot, but I figure that if the Vikings did it wearing big helmets, armour and heavy sheepskin clothing then I should be ok.

@lmccaul @MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe Libraries are great places. It breaks my heart that people don't see their value
@Stratski @MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe yeah nit everything modern and mechanised is better
@Stratski @MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe actually the place i live in is in the grounds of a big house owned originally by the owner of big cotton mills
@TheBreadmonkey They are playing next year at Wembley....https://www.ovoarena.co.uk/events/detail/the-damned
@lmccaul @MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe seeing many of the university students i see now makes me a bit sad. They seem to be pushed into uni and thus debt without any passion or goal. Its just a fear of having no other option. A whole generation and what will thry fo next

This is the hardest message I have ever written.
Does anyone in have a lead on a company that would be willing to sponsor a web development technical lead?
I am open to most Euro, Japan, and Oceania.
My German is bad. My Japanese is a bit better. I would love to get better.
It seems like things are going to be no longer safe for my family.
Help me.
Please boost. 🙇
Edit:
I want to thank everyone who has boosted, replied, and offered advice. Thank you so much. I have much more to go on, and much more to learn.
Everyone. Please stay safe, and keep your family and friends close.
Thank you all.
Finally some GOOD news today.
‘Murderbot’ Renewed for Season...
Rewriting a bunch of my old Micropub code for the web today. Long overdue, and needed to keep adding features.

DHS’s use of the bible to justify militarized crackdowns is not just dystopian—it’s theocratic propaganda. The government has no business quoting scripture to sanctify immigration raids. This is exactly why we must keep religion out of government. …

I had a friend who owned two ferrets, and he showed me that when he was cleaning their cage he used to hang them off of a small washing line that was in the room. He would just hold them up until the little paws grabbed the line and then let them hang there.The ferrets apparently quite enjoyed the change in perspective and of course ferrets have no fear.
👋 Hey infosec.exchange! We’re the CHERI Alliance — excited to join the community!
🔐 We’re all about CHERI (Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions) — a powerful hardware-based approach to making memory safety and software security actually enforceable, by design.
💡 CHERI helps stop things like buffer overflows and use-after-free bugs before they cause trouble — with hardware-enforced protections built right into the architecture.
We’re here to:
- Share news about the CHERI community in general
- Talk about what our members are building with CHERI
- Connect with folks who care about deep, meaningful security improvements
