Oscillator Negativity is a Good Thing


Many people who get analog electronics still struggle a bit to design oscillators. Even common simulators often need a trick to simulate some oscillating circuits. The Barkhausen criteria state that for stable oscillation, the loop gain must be one, and the phase shift around the feedback loop must be a multiple of 360 degrees. [All Electronics Channel] provides a thorough exploration of oscillators and, specifically, negative resistance, which is punctuated by practical measurements using a VNA. Check it out in the video below.

The video does have a little math and even mentions differential equations, but don’t worry. He points out that the universe solves the equation for you.

In an LC circuit, you can consider the losses in the circuit as a resistor. That makes sense. No component is perfect. But if you could provide a negative resistance, it would cancel out the parasitic resistance. With no loss, the inductor and capacitor will go back and forth, electrically, much like a pendulum.

So, how do you get a negative resistance? You’ll need an active device. He presents some example oscillator architectures and explains how they generate negative resistances.

Crystals are a great thing to look at with a VNA. That used to be a high-dollar piece of test gear, but not anymore.

I fan tedeschi dei Massive Attack hanno ricevuto una doccia fredda. L’attesa per i concerti a Bonn e Berlino, previsti per lunedì e martedì, si è conclusa infatti con un’improvvisa cancellazione.

A Bonn l’annuncio è arrivato appena due ore prima dello show. È arrivata poi la notizia che sarebbe saltato anche il concerto di Berlino, che avrebbe dovuto tenersi presso la Zitadelle Spandau.

i Massive Attack sono noti sin dal 1999 per le loro posizioni filopalestinesi e il sostegno al movimento BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) e un giorno prima del concerto di Londra hanno accusato la banca Barclays – sponsor della location – di investire in aziende che fornirebbero armi a Israele finanziando, di conseguenza, “i crimini di guerra a Gaza e in Cisgiordania”.

Resta comunque ancora incerto se la cancellazione degli show sia stata realmente causata da pressioni politiche o da semplici problemi di salute interni alla band.

PPI at the International Labor Organization Conference


PPI´s main delegate in at the UN Office of Geneva, Carlos Polo, attended the 113th International Labour Organization Conference. The event took place in June 2-13, 2025. The ILO predates the UN, and it has a very important place in history. It was founded when World War One came to a close with the Treaty of Versailles. It became the first specialized agency of the United Nations in 1946 with a specialization in social justice. This year´s conference focused on biological hazards in the workplace, but a wide range of employment issues were discussed.

The ILO is an organization that PPI would like to be involved with more to help strive for digital freedom in the workplace. Many freelance workers and small businesses have contacted us about problems they have with antiquated copyright legislations and big corporations that tie up workers with legal malaise that prohibits them from ever gaining an advantage. Engaging with the ILO helps us advance international policies. By neglecting the rights of workers, big corporations stifle innovation and keeps small players from ever gaining a foothold in making their own technological advancements.

We share some photos of Carlos from the event. Pirate Parties International will continue to join these events and update our community about our activities at the UN. We also currently have represenatives at the World Summit on Information Society, WSIS +20. We will be updating soon with pictures from that event as well.

If you or any other Pirates you know would like to participate in ILO or other UN events, please let us know by filling out the volunteer form: lime.ppi.rocks/index.php?r=sur…

If you would like to help PPI continue to send representatives to these meetings, please consider making a small donation to our organization or becoming a member. If you would like to be involved personally in the movement, by writing about these issues or attending events, please let us know.

Edward L. Bernays - Crystallizing Public Opinion (Full Audiobook)


A recent thread here, about the epic blog posts by @tchambers, got me to wondering;

Is anyone hosting spaces for fediverse UX collaboration? I'm looking for friendly, in-depth, *constructive* discussions. Chat rooms are OK, but forums are better.

Spaces I already know about;

Matrix: #fediverse-devs-ux:matrix.org

Forum: discuss.coding.social/

Curious to know if there are others.

I’m also super interested in this. Most of my UX work is at a hobbyist level, but I love exploring designs, and think this is one of the critical areas that the network needs a lot of help with.

This is me too, although I'm starting to think imposter syndrome is making me ignore my decades of experience in various aspects of UX stuff. I probably could go pro on this, and given your extensive background going right back to Diaspora (and probably before), you certainly could.

Looks like a woman bent slightly at the waist. She's facing either 10:00 or 8:00. Her arms are up helping balance a large parcel on her head.

Alternately, her hands are up, and she's screaming "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah", because that's what I frequently think of doing :^D

Das Bild zeigt eine kleine, isolierte Insel in der Mitte eines tiefblauen Meeres. Die Insel ist von steinigen Felsen umgeben, die in verschiedenen Brauntönen und mit rauen, unregelmäßigen Formen zu erkennen sind. Auf der Insel wachsen mehrere Palmen und andere tropische Pflanzen, die grüne Blätter und dichte Blätter aufweisen. Die Vegetation ist dicht und verstreut, wobei einige Bäume höher und schlanker sind als andere. Das Wasser um die Insel herum ist ruhig und glatt, mit leichten Wellen, die an den Felsen vorbeiziehen. Der Himmel ist klar und ohne Wolken, was auf einen sonnigen Tag hinweist. Die Insel ist relativ klein und scheint unberührt und unzugänglich zu sein, was sie zu einem idyllischen und ruhigen Ort macht.

In 2019 Seth Meyers joked about Trump wanting a moat with alligators & snakes around his border wall.

As a joke, DefenseOne did a cost estimate.
defenseone.com/ideas/2019/10/s…

The sum total of Trump’s Snake & Alligator Border Guard comes in at a "roughly $2.5 billion in set-up costs, plus annual operating costs of $1.8 billion."

Totally doable with the new $45 billion #ICE budget for detention facilities.
The annual #AlligatorAlcatraz operating cost of $450 million a year.

US citizens: call on California Attorney General Rob Bonta to protect journalists covering the LA protests.

in reply to Richard Stallman

It does not appear that any journalists need to fear from the protesters. They need to fear from the police and the supposed federal agents that are not properly identifying themselves. So, we're asking the person in charge of those people to protect journalists from those people when they're following their orders. That's worth trying, but I don't hold up much hope.

Da Torino a Palermo, da Milano a Genova, Roma e Napoli, il Liberty ha lasciato le sue tracce lungo tutta la penisola, impreziosendo città, piccoli centri e perfino angoli di campagna con palazzi e villini, tra le avvolgenti volute e i decori armoniosi tipici dell’Art Nouveau.
Dall’8 al 14 luglio l’Art Nouveau Week apre le porte dei luoghi del Liberty - spesso inaccessibili al pubblico durante il resto dell’anno - in 70 città italiane, con percorsi tematici, visite guidate, mostre, incontri e conferenze online su temi legati all’architettura, alle arti decorative, alla moda, all’illustrazione e perfino alla cucina. Sono oltre 100 gli itinerari da scoprire nella manifestazione ideata e curata da Andrea Speziali, dal Nord al Sud della penisola, ma anche all’estero, con appuntamenti da Ascona, in Svizzera, a Barcellona, Valencia e Palma di Maiorca in Spagna.
Il programma completo dell’Art Nouveau Week 2025 è consultabile sul sito www.italialiberty.it.

Dal prossimo 25 settembre all’8 febbraio 2026, al Mudec - Museo delle Culture di Milano, un progetto nato dalla collaborazione con il Kunstmuseum dell’Aia. Novanta opere, tra cui acquerelli, xilografie e litografie, racconteranno l’arte di Maurits Cornelis Escher dalla A alla Z, facendo luce sulle fonti della sua ispirazione e sulla genesi di un linguaggio unico, che ha affascinato generazioni di pubblico e influenzato trasversalmente i creativi del Novecento.
Ideata da Judith Kaldee e curata da Claudio Bartocci, Paolo Branca e Claudio Salsi, M.C. Escher. Tra arte e scienza riporta l’artista olandese a Milano dopo dieci anni di assenza.
