Today in #electronics I built the world's worst Direct Conversion Receiver, for the AM broadcast band
It sounds very poor and low volume, but it definitely works, I can receive both of the two local stations at 630kHz and 800kHz
The LO is my signal generator
I tried adding a RF amp to fix the low volume but it resulted in breakthrough of the stronger station and heavy distortion
also tried amplifying the audio between LPF and LM386 without success

#ICE arrests #superintendent of #Iowa’s largest school district
By Zoe Sottile, Priscilla Alvarez, September 27, 2025
Excerpt: "The school district and #DHS presented starkly divergent portraits of [Superintendent #IanRoberts]. DHS described him as a 'criminal alien' and suggested he was a public safety threat. But at a news conference after his arrest, board president of #DesMoines #PublicSchools Jackie Norris said the superintendent was 'an integral part of our school community' who 'has shown up in ways big and small' for students and staff. And Roberts disclosed his weapon charge, related to a hunting rifle, when he was hired, a district spokesperson told CNN.
"The arrest spurred a protest outside the federal courthouse in Des Moines. '#Education, not #deportation / Free Dr. Roberts,' read one sign carried by a demonstrator, according to footage from CNN affiliate KCCI. Local education and immigration advocacy groups have rallied behind the superintendent."

Weil sie das deutsche Schienennetz über Jahre sabotiert haben: CSU als linksextremistische Terrorgruppe eingestuft
Berlin (dpo) - Immer wieder sabotieren linksextreme Terrorgruppen das Schienennetz der Deutschen Bahn. Nun hat das Bundesamt für Verfassung...Der Postillon (Blogger)
Das Bild zeigt ein steckbriefartiges Poster mit dem Titel "Anarchistische Saboteure – Scheuer/Dobrindt-Bande –". Es handelt sich um eine Veröffentlichung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, die drei Männer als steckbrieflich gesucht ausgibt. Die Männer sind Andreas Franz Scheuer (geboren am 26.09.74 in Passau), Alexander Dobrindt (geboren am 07.06.70 in Peißenberg) und Peter Ramsauer (geboren am 10.02.54 in München). Der Text beschreibt sie als Saboteure, die die Bahninfrastruktur der Bundesrepublik Deutschland zerstört haben und andere Straftaten begangen haben. Für Hinweise, die zur Ergreifung der Gesuchten führen, ist eine Belohnung von 100.000 Euro ausgesetzt. Die Verfolgung ist nicht für Beamte erforderlich, sondern erfolgt unter Ausschluss des Rechtsweges. Ein Warnhinweis am Ende des Posters lautet: "Vorsicht! Diese Täter schrecken nicht vor der Verschwendung von Milliarden zurück!"

Having tried to build a generic ActivityPub server, I can confirm: this is very difficult, maybe impossible. The server needs to understand the payloads -- in order to generate collections, for example. And security implications of allowing arbitrary activities are not quite clear.
However, I think a modified version of ActivityPub protocol could support generic servers.
@silverpill @helge @badrihippo
Do you have a sense of what you feel would need to be modified with ActivityPub to make it work?

@reiver @silverpill @helge @badrihippo
@zoul I really want a generic server. In that case I would have to start developing one of my own?
A generic server that has support to Mastodon, Lemmy and Peertube API would be awesome

@by_caballero
full ack.
We are working heavily towards a generic server and in deed it is super important what Helge decribes but anyway, we need to come together.
original:
„the client APIs necessary to make this a reality haven't seen much development“
But many people want this.
We should change that now and meet.
After organizing the first official Confs conf.tube/c/apconf_channel/vid… (tons of videos) I advised the EU for DMA and DSA and then Client To Server was eye-opening for them.
My last Talks (e.g. together with funder at fediday) and those after had been in German but when we showed the AP Client2Server boardgame at Public Spaces it was english video.publicspaces.net/w/9USsJ… 😀
So, if anyone is interested in a nice dev. meeting about this topic apart from the new taskforces, please comment here !
I am happy to do a video call with anyone interested. (Assuming that is what you were suggesting.)
We would just need to figure out a day and time for it.

PS
according to the temporal polyfill and "Intl to ActivityPub" I wrote yesterday:
This Olson id is the same timezone like e.g. id: "DE-BE" or "DE" and can now be parsed from all localized names of the .Intl world – which is serverside polyfilled as well digitalcourage.social/@sl007/1…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At the moment it is summer in the EU which never implemented citizens demands or democracy results and so shifts are still in effect.
At the moment it is UTC+1
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sebastian Lasse (@sl007@digitalcourage.social)
Hey @deno_land@fosstodon.org can you update Intl. from the current Firefox version https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/13257 ? It is also missing the UN M49 ids as commented. Let's #i18n 🎉digitalcourage.social
I am away from home (on the west-coast Canada) right now — and I am currently in Korea.
So, I am in UTC+9 right now.
I think my very early morning (in Korea) is your late evening (in Germany).
Would you be able to do a video chat in your late evening?

would be able.
just btw: If it is "South Korea", I recommend having coffee with toot.jeena.net/@jeena ;)
I am in Korea right now. But where I am staying is far away from Seoul and Pangyo.

How about doing the video chat on your Saturday evening?
(Which would be my Sunday morning.)

I would be fine. Is anyone else interested?
@xmppbrasil One thing that may be required is a removal of side effects.
For example, when a server processes Accept(Follow) activity, it is supposed to add the actor to the following collection. ActivityPub specification describes it as a "side effect". In order to do this, the server must understand the meaning of Accept(Follow) and how following collection works.
To avoid this, clients could generate Add(target: following) activity whenever they generate an Accept(Follow) activity. The implicit action becomes explicit, so a server would only need to know how to process generic activities like Add and Remove.
@helge @badrihippo @zoul
ActivityPub
The ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol based upon the [ActivityStreams] 2.0 data format.www.w3.org
@silverpill @reiver @xmppbrasil @helge @badrihippo i think with the way you're describing this case, it would really end up being a collection server or endpoint, right? that makes sense if there's a requirement to dynamically page collections. if you're willing to accept static collections, then it simplifies things greatly
but you could still keep side effects if you somehow signaled which clients attached to which inboxes and what they do. a "default client" can manage AP side effects
