I was having problems with my wifi at the farm, so I moved the modem to the barn.

Das Bild zeigt eine öffentliche Veranstaltung in einer städtischen Umgebung. Im Vordergrund liegt ein großes Stadtplan mit verschiedenen Markierungen und Texten, die wahrscheinlich Informationen oder Anweisungen enthalten. Eine Frau in einem rosa T-Shirt und Jeans steht auf einem Gehweg und liest ein Blatt Papier. Hinter ihr befindet sich ein Tisch mit einem pinken Tuch, auf dem mehrere pinkfarbene Banner mit Texten angeordnet sind. Im Hintergrund sind Bäume, ein Gebäude und ein Fahrrad mit einem Kinderwagen zu sehen. Ein Schild mit Richtungen zeigt verschiedene Orte an. Die Szene wirkt informell und offiziell zugleich, möglicherweise Teil einer lokalen Initiative oder Veranstaltung.

Lightning Talks On Time, With This Device
Ask a Hackaday scribe who’s helped run the lightning talks at one of our events, and they’ll tell you that keeping the speakers on time is a challenge. Conversely if the staffer is trying to indicate to the speaker how much time they have left, it must be difficult from the podium to keep track while delivering your talk. Fortunately there’s [makeTVee] waiting in the wings with a solution, a cube whose faces each have a custom 5×7 LED matrix on them. The countdown is clear and unambiguous, and should provide no distractions.
The brains behind it all is a XIAO nRF52840 Sense board using the Zephyr RTOS, the LEDs are WS2812s on their own PCBs, and the party piece is only revealed at the end of the countdown. A tilt mechanism triggered by a servo releases a ball bearing down a track, where it hits a telephone bell and provides a very audible reminder to the speaker. The result saw action during the lightning talks at the Hackaday Europe event earlier in the year, but it’s taken a while for the write-up to make it online.

'I don't remember': MN Republican suddenly forgets voting against school safety bill
Following a mass shooting in Minnesota, Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) insisted he couldn't remember why he opposed a bill to increase school safety.
In a Sunday interview on ABC, Emmer attacked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) for not giving schools enough resources to prevent a shooting that killed two children in Minneapolis last week.
"It's going to be very important that the schools have the resources," he said.
"You talk about what can be done," host Martha Raddatz noted. "After mass shootings in Buffalo and in Uvalde, Texas, Congress passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions of dollars for schools to expand mental health services, enhance safety measures. You did not vote for that bill. Why?"
"I don't remember the reasons that I didn't vote for that bill," Emmer replied. "I got to tell you, we did a lot for Uvalde, but you can't replace those children, Martha, you can't. And you can't help that community. We're talking about getting on the front end, Martha. We're talking about we need to have the resources."
"This bill sounds like it might have done that," Raddatz pointed out.

August Resümee.
This month was kinda intense but heartwarming, hosting and reading the German Phantastik Prompts and putting out their Fantastic Prompts English counterpart made it clear to me why I stick to three dailies and don't do a fourth.
I loved seeing all the different answers and loved interacting as much as I did even if I wish I would have answered more of them.
Hind sight I would say I would do it again on a maybe smaller scale.
I love that the German writing community picks it up on a voluntary basis and we managed so many different hosts so far.
I now have a way deeper understanding and respect for all the wonderful people who put out their prompts daily, weekly or so regularly.
This month also had me struggling emotionally private but also absolute highlights like the cross over Art work @art_of_goulwenr did.
Simply: I love Mastodon more than I ever did with other social media and it really feels social.
Thanks again everyone.🙏🏿💚

Microsoft offers free Windows 10 extended security updates, but there's a catch: you'll have to use cloud backups linked to your OneDrive account if you want Microsoft to continue to support your PC.

Zainspirowany przez @rozie sprawdziłem statystyki ilości postów na miesiąc przez cały czas istnienia mojego bloga.
Wiem, że słupki w pierwszych latach są tak wysokie, że wyglądam na jakiegoś maniaka, ale to czasy, gdy blog funkcjonował na platformie JoggerPL, gdzie wpisy publikowało się przez wiadomości na Jabberze i było to bliższe microblogowania w stylu mastodonowym, niż pełnowymiarowej pisaniny.

The image depicts a futuristic scene with a person standing in a field of tall, golden grass. The individual is wearing an orange jumpsuit with the name "REEE" printed on the chest and a white helmet. They are holding a large, futuristic-looking weapon. Behind them is a large, white spacecraft with a prominent circular engine and various antennas on top. The spacecraft is positioned on a clear blue sky with a large, pale moon visible in the background. The landscape includes rolling hills in the distance, adding depth to the scene. The overall color palette is dominated by warm tones, with the orange of the jumpsuit contrasting against the white of the spacecraft and the blue of the sky.

Worthwhile to say that the Dublin agreement is a pile of shit.
Very nice for the countries with no borders towards third country, but fucking evil to those at the periphery.
A better accord would have been that countries take quotas according to their GPD.
Still, you're obviously right about the diametral effect of Brexit in that aspect.
