Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Octobike Shirt. Someone please get that octopus more wheels. Or more pedals. I am neither an engineer nor a marine biologist so I do not know what the optimal mode of transportation for an octopus would be.

Does anyone know this flag? I've seen this with the additional chevron only here, I can guess what it could mean, but I am not sure. Anyone who knows?

Quanto cazzo è tossica questa casa. Non so come cazzao fare ad andarmene ma se non lo faccio ci morirò
da sola non riesco ad andarmene, ma qui dentro una vita che non sia profondamente infelice mi viene continuamente resa impossibile, centinaia di volte ripetute, tutte le volte che mi dicono quanto schifo gli faccio e quanto schifo gli fa perfino vedere le mie cose in casa

Solidarietà da parte di uno che era in una situazione molto simile. Il sollievo che proverai quando finalmente riuscirai ad andartene e a fare un bel dito medio a questa gente sarà immenso, te lo garantisco. Ti abbraccio e ti auguro che accada molto presto, prima di quanto speri.

When a tech company decides how long to support hardware what do they base that decision on? Why will one provide support for 7 years and another 10? Are those just arbitrary?

Running a root DNS server on FreeBSD -- from Alpha to Now by Daniel Mahoney

youtu.be/vCiCvQsxucc

ISC has been proudly using FreeBSD in production for a long time, including to serve critical internet infrastructure with a global user base (including you!), from the DEC Alpha days up till now, mostly on bare-metal.

In this talk I'll go over some of how we (and I) got here, how we've managed far-away installs and upgrades without remote hands during a global pandemic, and how we believe that in a Linux-centric world, BSD gives us an advantage, not only in diversity, but from the community, and touch on how a single FreeBSD box has replaced an install that used to consist of separate routers and switches.

We'll cover some of our MacGyver moments, share some head-scratchers, and even cover some of the things we'd love to see in the future, both from the community as well as where we're hoping to go.

If the conference leaders think it wise, this talk could also include a light touch on how BGP and Anycast work, both in general, as well as how the global routing table is affected by the less-and-more specific routes to F that we announce to keep local traffic local, and how ISC works with its CDN partner. (These are not BSD-specific topics, but the maturity of reasonable routing daemons in ports have meant that we can now do this without needing an upstream router).

I have a crazy idea that I can 3D print a D-sub connector. Specifically, the unobtainable 23-pin variety found on the Amiga. So I bought someone else’s DigiKey leftovers to give it a shot.

Surprisingly and helpfully, the printed engineering drawing was included. (Unhelpfully, it is in inches)

These are crimp contacts even though for the Spite Sprite they’ll be soldered directly to the board. TE actually does make push-in solder cup contacts, but they’re very hard to find these days.

Illegals continue to enter #Poland from Belarus at increasing rates. Over 5K attempts in August alone, which is a record this year.

The #EU is under siege and many countries continue to treat these illegals better than citizens.

No wonder they keep coming.

Kid’s secondary school is off to an awkward start as I bought them two different PE tops from the online retailer list without realising that you had a buy a SECRET THIRD COMPULSORY PE TOP which was only available from a shop in town. And they have to wear PE kit for the first two days. FFS.

I fucking hated secondary school and their multiplicity of stupid rules, and now I have to comply with them all over again for two different kids.
in reply to Nick

I think you should fight it. You're in a much better position now and it would probably give you and your kids some satisfaction.

Wolfgang Hammer ist ein Held für mich. Seine Forschungen zu struktureller patriarchales Gewalt, u.a. in familiengerichtlichen Verfahren sind unersetzlich. Und dafür hat er sich viel anhören müssen, selbst von vermeintlich progressiven Stimmen (non mention, still angry).

In diesem Interview gibt er einen aktuellen Einblick in den patriarchalen Wahnsinn unserer Institutionen und warum er müde ist.

Building a Halloween Vending Computer That Talks


A photo of the vending machine sitting on an electronics workbench

Our hacker from [Appalachian Forge Works] wrote in to let us know about their vending machine build: a Halloween vending computer that talks.

He starts by demonstrating the vending process: a backlit vend button is pressed, an animation plays on the screen as a synthetic voice speaks through attached speakers, the vending mechanism rotates until a successful vend is detected with a photoelectric sensor (a photoresistor and an LED) or a timeout of 10 seconds is reached (the timeout is particularly important for cases when the stock of prizes is fully depleted).

For a successful vend the prize will roll out a vending tube and through some ramps, visible via a perspex side panel, into the receptacle, as the spooky voice announces the vend. It’s the photoelectric sensor which triggers the mask to speak.

The vending mechanism is a wheel that spins, the bouncy balls caught in a hole on the wheel, then fall through a vending tube. The cache of prizes are stored in a clear container attached to the top, which is secured with a keyed lock attached to the 3D printed lid. After unlocking the lid can be removed for restocking.

The whole device is built into an old PC case tower. The back panels have been replaced and sealed. The computer in the box is an ASUS CN60 Chromebox running Ubuntu Linux. The power button is obscured on the back of the case to avoid accidental pressing. The monitor is bolted on to the side panel with a perspex screen and connected to the Chromebox via VGA. Inside there are two power supplies, an Arduino Uno microcontroller, and an audio amplifier attached to a pair of speakers.

A 12V DC motor controls the vending prize wheel which feeds a prize into the vending tube. The vending tube has an LED on one side and a photoresistor on the other side that detects the vend. The software, running on Linux, is Python code using the Pygame library.

If you’re interested in vending machines you might also be interested in this one: This Vending Machine Is For The Birds.
