How hard could it to be to build a two-stroke internal combustion engine (ICE) from scratch? This is a challenge that [Camden Bowen] gladly set for himself, while foregoing such obvious wastes of time like first doing an in-depth literature study on the topic. That said, he did do some research and made the design in OnShape CAD before making his way over to the hardware store to make some purchases.

As it turns out, you can indeed build a two-stroke engine from scratch, using little more than some metal piping and other parts from the hardware store. You also need a welder and a lathe, with [Camden] using a Vevor mini-lathe that totally puts the ‘precision’ in ‘chatter’. As building an ICE requires a number of relatively basic parts that have to move with very little friction and with tight tolerances, this posed some challenges, but nothing that some DIY spirit can’t fix.

In the case of the very flexible boring bar on the lathe, improvising with some sturdy metal stock welded to a short boring bar resolved that, and precision was achieved. Together with an angle grinder, [Camden] was then able to manufacture the crank case, the cylinder and crank shaft and all the other pieces that make up an ICE. For the carburetor he used a unit off Amazon, which turned out to have the wrong throat size at 19 mm, but a 13 mm version worked. Ultimately, the first ICE constructed this way got destroyed mostly by running it dry and having the starter fluid acting as a solvent, but a full rebuild fixed all the issues.

This second attempt actually ran just fine the first time around, with oil in the crank case so that the poor engine wasn’t running dry any more. With a 40:1 fuel/oil mixture the little engine idles and runs as well as a two-stroke can, belching blue smoke and making a ruckus. This answers the question of whether you can build a two-stroke ICE with basic machining skills and tools, but of course the question that’s now on everyone’s lips is whether a four-stroke one would be nearly as ‘easy’. We wait with bated breath.

Asteroids, the late-70s arcade hit, was an immensely popular game. Often those with the simplest premise, while maintaining a fun, lighthearted gameplay have the most cultural impact and longest legacy. But, although it was popular, it doesn’t really meet the high bar of scientific fidelity that some gamers are looking for. That’s why [Attoparsec] built the Kessler Syndrome Edition of this classic arcade game.

The Kessler Syndrome is a condition where so much man-made debris piles up in low-Earth orbit that nothing can occupy this orbit without getting damaged or destroyed by the debris, and thus turning into more debris itself in a terrible positive feedback loop. [Attoparsec] brings this idea to Asteroids by reprogramming the game so that asteroids can be shot into smaller and smaller pieces but which never disappear, quickly turning the game into a runaway Kessler Syndrome where the chance of survival is extremely limited, and even a destroyed player’s ship turns into space junk as well.

To further the scientific accuracy and improve playability, though, he’s added a repulsor beam mechanism which can push the debris a bit and prolong the player’s life, and also added mass effect reactions so that even shooting bullets repels the player’s ship a bit. The build doesn’t stop with software, either. He also built a custom 70s-style arcade cabinet from the ground to host the game.

Asteroids is still a popular platform for unique builds like this. Take a look at a light-vector game using lasers to create the graphics, or this tiny version of the game that uses a real CRT.

Thanks to [smellsofbikes] for the tip!

Last time, I talked about how MicroPython is powerful and deserving of a place in your toolkit, and it made for a lively discussion. I’m glad to see that overall, MicroPython has indeed been getting the recognition it deserves – I’ve built a large number of wonderful projects with it, and so have people I’ve shown it to!

Sometimes I see newcomers dissatisfied with MicroPython, because the helper tools they initially pick don’t suit it well. For instance, they try and start out with a regular serial terminal application that doesn’t fit the MicroPython constraints, or a general IDE that requires a fair bit of clicking around every time you need to run your code. In particular, I’d make sure that you know your options no matter whether you prefer GUI or commandline – both have seriously nice tools for MicroPython use!

The main problem to be solved with MicroPython is that you have a single serial port that everything happens through – both file upload and also debugging. For ESP8266/32-based boards, it’s a physical serial port, and for chips like RP2040 and ESP32-S* where a hardware USB peripheral is available, it’s a virtual one – which makes things harder because the virtual port might get re-enumerated every now and then, possibly surprising your terminal application. If you want to upload a program of yours, you need to free up the serial port, and to see the program’s output, you will need to reopen that port immediately after – not a convenient thing to do if you’re using something like PuTTy.

So, using MicroPython-friendly software is a must for a comfortable hacking experience. What are your options?

Power Of Thonny And Friends


Whether you’re primarily a GUI user, or you’re teaching someone that is, Thonny is undoubtedly number one in MicroPython world – it’s an IDE developed with Python in mind, and it has seriously impressive MicroPython integrations. Your board’s terminal is being managed as if effortlessly in the background – just open your files in different tabs as you normally do, and press the Run button sometimes.

Expecting more? There is more – basically anything MicroPython adjacent you’d do from commandline, is present in Thonny in a comfortable way. For instance, are you working with an ESP32 board that doesn’t yet have a MicroPython image in its flash? Lucky you, there’s an esptool integration that lets you flash an image into your MCU through a dialog box. Want debugging? There’s single-step debugging that works in an intuitive user-friendly way – you’d find this pretty hard to happen from console apart from specially engineered print statements, but Thonny delivers.

youtube.com/embed/EMAye6AlHFc?…

Not looking to pick a new IDE? There are VSCode extensions. Arduino IDE more your jam? Yeah, well, remember how Arduino has a MicroPython IDE now? It’s decently usable, so if you got used to the Arduino keybindings, you might like it. More of a commandline user? You’ve got a good few options, then, and they are similarly powerful.

Mpremote And Ampy


Rather use the terminal? Maybe IDEs are too clunky for you and the terminal window’s cleanliness provides for a distraction-free environment you can only dream about, maybe it’s just the thing you’ve used your entire life, or maybe you’re even debugging a MicroPython device over an SSH connection? mpremote is the tool to save you.

mpremote is part of the MicroPython project, it’s developed alongside the project, and it’s got plenty of killer features to show for it. It includes an “inline” terminal emulator that lets you access REPL effortlessly to see your code’s results and interact with the variables afterwards, correctly managing things like Ctrl+C so you can interrupt your code if needed and still poke at its variables in the REPL. You can also explore the MicroPython filesystem Linux-style with ease, and, most importantly, you can mount your current directory up to it with mpremote mount, and mpremote will send files to your board as the on-MCU interpreter requests them.

Overall, mpremote offers a seriously comfortable environment for iterating on MicroPython code lightning quick. Without it, you would need to reopen the serial port each time you need to upload a new file – here, you can just chain a bunch of commands together and mpremote will dutifully do the serial port juggling needed to get you there.

In addition to that, you can see that mpremote is designed to help you with awkward-to-do things you didn’t know you needed to do. Need to sync your board’s RTC time with your computer’s time? That’s a mpremote rtc command away. Want to access the MicroPython package manager? That’s mpremote mip. Your board needs to switch into bootloader mode? No need to fiddle with buttons, just use mpremote bootloader. In short, mpremote is a MicroPython powerhouse for everyone who’s most comfortable in a terminal window.

youtube.com/embed/sc6ND-1QZH0?…

There is an alternative here, too: ampy, a personal choice of mine, which I use combined with screen. Ampy is a tool initially designed by Adafruit, and it’s more barebones – I like it because I have control of what’s happening when I issue a command to a software, keeping my MicroPython devices in a known state at all times. On the other hand, it does require jugging the serial port on your own, so when I need to update my code, I exit screen, run the ampy command, then re-enter screen again. I regularly work with large MicroPython files that also import static library files that don’t change for months, however, so having control of the upload process seems to save me a fair bit of time.

There are caveats, of course – the major one is, when using screen in serial terminal mode, you need to press `Ctrl+A k y` (kill window) instead of `Ctrl+A d` to detach the screen session. If you do the detach instead, as you might be used to with screen, the serial port will remain open until you unplug the device or kill the screen process, and ampy will fail mysteriously.

Summary


I hope this toolkit overview helps you make sure you’re using exactly the kind of MicroPython environment that works for you – while compiling it, I’ve learned some nuances myself! Next time, we shall talk about CircuitPython – a MicroPython fork that has grown into a contender in the educational Python space, and how it is different from MicroPython in a number of crucial ways you deserve to know about.

Il ricordo

Giovanna Ricoveri se ne è andata, a Genova, nella notte fra il 3 e il 4 agosto. Cinque anni dopo Giorgio Nebbia, con il quale aveva collaborato fin dal 1991, anno di nascita dell’edizione italiana di Cns-Capitalismo Natura Socialismo. La rivista di ecologia politica, diretta da Giovanna e da Valentino Parlato, faceva parte di una rete internazionale creata due anni prima in California da James O’Connor, il teorico della seconda contraddizione: quella fra capitale e natura.

Nata a Rosignano, sulla costa livornese, Giovanna Ricoveri aveva iniziato a collaborare stabilmente con la Cgil nei primi anni 1970, un impegno durato fino ai primi anni 1990. In seguito, dirigendo Cns, diventata poi Cns-Ecologia politica, si dedicò ad analizzare tre grandi questioni a lungo trascurate o negate dalle forze politiche della sinistra: la crisi ecologica come causa importante di crisi economica e sociale; lavoro e natura come due contraddizioni speculari che nel capitalismo maturo vanno affrontate insieme, due facce della stessa medaglia; l’importanza dei movimenti sociali nel superamento della crisi. Negli anni 1990, forse solo su Cns si potevano leggere saggi guidati dalle interconnessioni che cromaticamente potremmo riassumere nella definizione “rosso-verde”.

Giovanna fu anche straordinaria curatrice di diversi libri. Sviluppò l’idea della centralità della natura anche grazie ai rapporti con l’eco-femminismo a livello internazionale. Approfondì con passione l’antica eppure attualissima tematica dei beni comuni e si inserì, lei proveniente dal sindacato, nel dibattito internazionale sulla decrescita. Le tante persone che – come noi – hanno avuto Giovanna come compagna di pensiero e attività, e come amica, sono approdate a lei per vie diverse.

Chi partendo dal mondo del lavoro, chi da quello dell’ecologia. Giovanna era profondamente legata all’idea che per affrontare la crisi ecologica fosse indispensabile il contributo del movimento dei lavoratori, di chi agiva direttamente all’interno del sistema produttivo. E d’altro canto, per un vero ambientalismo che intendesse cambiare la società, era indispensabile il contributo dei lavoratori. Questione sociale e questione ecologica come inscindibilmente unite, una convergenza necessaria, ecco il messaggio centrale di Giovanna.

Un contributo che ci mancherà, in un mondo pervaso dalla convinzione che il neoliberismo si possa in qualche modo governare, e che la questione ecologica si possa risolvere con la green economy, mantenendo intanto il sistema capitalistico. Tanti i ricordi personali. Gli incontri con lei nella sua casa-ufficio erano sempre densi, a volte agitati, mai noiosi. Prima di passare all’enorme tavolo da lavoro, bianco e un po’ traballante sotto il peso di libri e fascicoli, l’accoglienza avveniva in cucina con il caffè e i biscotti.

E come dimenticare i piatti toscani che cucinava anche per i vegetariani. Negli ultimi due mesi aveva avuto un’emorragia cerebrale dalla quale purtroppo non si era più ripresa. Nel libro collettivo pubblicato dalla Fondazione Luigi Micheletti nel 2016 per festeggiare i 90 anni di Giorgio Nebbia, Giovanna si esprimeva così: “Giorgio è uno scienziato che ha cuore e intelligenza”. Giovanna, valeva anche per te. Un abbraccio alla famiglia e in particolare alle nipoti Eleonora e Luisa.



Giovanna Ricoveri ci ha lasciati. Ma resta tutto il lavoro straordinario fatto in decenni di militanza sociale e culturale. Giovanna entra di diritto nel gotha

You can only imagine that when they made Star Trek back in the 1960s, they would have laughed if anyone suggested they’d still be making the show nearly six decades later. If you told [John Kemeny] at Dartmouth back in 1964 that people would be serving websites in Basic in the year 2024, he’d probably be amazed after you explained what a website was. But that’s what [Jamonholmgren] is doing.

[Jamon] wrote his first Basic program when he was 12, which was a common thing to do. Recently, he decided to build and deploy a website using Basic, and so this project, qub (pronounced like cube), was born. The web server is modified from an existing source but adds features and many new features are planned.

The main program essentially creates a starter set of HTML and related files for the server. Honestly, we don’t recommend a server in Basic, but it is fun to see Basic — granted a modern version of QuickBasic — being up to the task.

It would probably be smarter to dedicate an old phone to the task. Or you could stand up an old DOS computer, but that’s probably not any better.

Welcome back to another edition of the weekly-ish news of the fediverse. This edition contains the news of last week, as well as some news items from the previous few weeks that I’ve spotted while I was on holiday break. My holiday was indeed fully offline out of the feeds, but I could not resist afterwards to dig in to find out what happened while I was offline.

As a teaser: I’ve started working behind the scenes to launch something new with Fediverse Report, that will be in addition to the weekly newsletters. Stay tuned!

The News


GoToSocial’s latest release adds comment-controls, which allows people to determine who can reply to their posts. GoToSocial explains: ‘you’ll be able to configure your account so that new posts created by you will have an interaction policy set on them, which determines whether your instance drops or accepts replies, likes, and boosts of your posts, depending on the visibility of the post, and whether or not an account trying to interact with you is in your followers/following list.’

Safety has been a major conversation on the fediverse feeds recently, especially with Black people pointing out the lacking safety tools and major harrassment they experience on the fediverse. One aspect that facilitates the harassment is the default opt-out approach to federation; where racists and other bigots will simply spin up a new fediverse server and send (semi)-private messages with hate speech to Black people. This is why ‘just switch to a server with better moderation’ is such a problematic response; it does not actually fix one of the main ways Black people experience on the fediverse, while placing the onus on them to solve the problem. One interesting response is in building a separate network with ActivityPub based on allow-list federation, and I’m keeping a close eye on how this evolves.

PeerTube’s latest update adds ‘automatic video transcription using Whisper , a new comment policy “requires approval first”, auto-tagging/labelling of videos and comments based on specific rules and a comment moderation page for video publishers’. This blog post provides more details about the development story on adding the transcription feature.

Patchwork is an upcoming plugin system for Mastodon that is developed by Newsmast, that is tentatively scheduled to be released next month. The latest update by Newsmast showcases the variety of plugins that they’ll offer, including setting local-only posts, changing post length, and scheduling posts. The bigger part is also the addition of Channels, custom timelines that will allow external parties to hook into as well.

Some statistics that relate compare the different platforms. A comparison of sources of traffic to news site heise.de, showing how Bluesky has surpassed Mastodon in clicks. A new comparison by Kuba Suder shows the different ways people post on Bluesky that is not done via a PDS that is hosted by Bluesky company. In February this year, Bluesky started support for having people self-host their own Personal Data Server (PDS) that is not managed by their company. The amount of people who do so is small, with less than 100 active account. Significantly more people post onto Bluesky via their bridged ActivityPub account. Speaking of bridged accounts: Eugen Rochko has now bridged his Mastodon account to Bluesky. Rochko has been outspokenly critical of Bluesky in the past, saying that they should adopt ActivityPub instead of building their own protocol.

Some more updates by Ghost, who is getting along further with their ActivityPub implementation. The newsletter is now getting better connected to the fediverse, allowing you to follow it directly from your Mastodon account.

Mastodon moves their iOS app development in-house, and is recruiting a full-time iOS app developer. Up until now, the Mastodon iOS app was developed by two freelance developers.

A slightly obscure news update because I love interoperability: Guppe Groups have been around for a while, and are a way to get some semblance of Groups added onto microblogging platforms, functioning similar to hashtags. Now link-aggregator platform PieFed has added support for these types of groups, you can see an example here. I’m mentioning this news here because I think there is a lot more space to experiment with different platform designs that take inspiration from both microblogging, link-aggregators and forums, and this is a small example of it. PieFed added support for community wikis as well.

Bluesky released Starter Packs a month ago as a way to easy the onboarding process, and reactions on the rest of the fediverse were that this was a good idea that could potentially be copied. Statistics show however that the feature has not been actively used by the community. Part of the reason could be that signups to decentralised social networks in general have mostly stopped.

WeDistribute wrote about NeoDB, calling it ‘a review system for culture’. NeoDB is one of the more interesting platforms available in the fediverse, with an incredible wide variety of features. NeoDB themselves describes by drawing comparison to other platforms, saying ‘NeoDB integrates the functionalities of platforms like Goodreads, Letterboxd, RateYourMusic, and Podchaser, among others.’ NeoDB’s own pitch is taking fediverse platforms tendency to be ‘centralised platform concept + ActivityPub’ to the extreme, and I enjoy the simplicity of NeoDB is a fediverse review platform for culture more.

What is the fediverse? This question is answered by a tech-free explainer video by Newsmast, a new video series by WordPress.com, or a podcast episode by TheNewStack with Evan Prodromou.

The latest update for software forge Forgejo has foundational parts of ActivityPub based federation, and the first forgejo instances that have federation in some alpha form are starting to appear.

In fiamme. La performance nello spazio delle lotte (1967-1979) è un libro edito da brunonel 2021 e curato da Ilenia Caleo, Piersandra Di Matteo e Annalisa Sacchi. Il volume interroga la scena del lungo Sessantotto in Italia all’incrocio tra sperimentazione artistica e lotta politica, alla ricerca di questioni che ancora turbano il presente: comunità, ecosistemi relazionali e affettivi, processi di soggettivazione, rapporti tra creazione e produzione. Il cosiddetto laboratorio italiano – radicale, inventivo e non privo di contraddizioni – ha preso corpo attraverso percorsi eccentrici tra gli anni Sessanta e Settanta, in quella performance che iniziava a deflagrare nello spazio delle lotte – un’eredità raccolta più dal dibattito internazionale che dalla storiografia teatrale italiana. Nel vivo di geografie, ambienti, scritture e immagini, In fiamme prova a restituire la dimensione complessa della performance come campo di produzione del comune. www.museomacro.it/

INCOMMON. In praise of community. Shared creativity in arts and politics in Italy (1959-1979) is a research project funded by the European Research Council (ERC Starting Grant 2015) and hosted by IUAV, University of Venice. INCOMMON is meant to be the first study to systematically analyse the field of performing arts as resulting from the practice of commonality both theorized and experienced over the 1960s and the 1970s. In particular, the project is aimed to study the history of the ‘laboratory Italy’ as the place where artistic counterculture expressed by performing arts arose in a milieu characterized by a profound relation between philosophy, politics, and revolutionary practices.

10 apr. 2023, Matteo Bianchi sul “Sole 24 ore”:

“La bibliodiversità risalta sulle dodici copertine che segnano il secondo gradino del Premio Strega Poesia. Quasi per contrappasso, difatti, nella fatidica dozzina sono gli editori indipendenti a dominare sui monoliti che solitamente determinano le sorti del mercato, dettando legge tra i generi che differenziano tutto ciò che si stampi in prosa […] E venerdì scorso, per annunciarli dal ligneo pulpito, Andrea Cortellessa si è avvalso di un pamphlet allegorico fuori dagli schemi e fuori dall’angelica bolgia, un Vero metodo per la cernita dei poeti, con cui classificare, nel bene o nel male, il nome e il titolo delle raccolte in lettura. Beati gli esclusi?
Marco Giovenale, che ha pubblicato il taccuino in questione per le Edizioni Volatili, passa in rassegna circa un centinaio di categorie sotto cui annotare i volumi esaminati, senza eufemismi né riguardi di sorta: ‘ossidati dai cliché’, ‘brutalisti del kitsch’, ‘retori del buonismo o del cattivismo’, ‘cannibali anziani’, ‘riavanguardiani a serramanico’, ‘liricantropi’, ‘neofuturisti con la fissa delle maiuscole in giro per il foglio’, ma ancora ‘autocandidati al Nobel’ e ‘ladri di cattedre’ sono solo alcune delle sottospecie più spietatamente spassose”.

Spadolini, un italiano

[quote]Forse anche per il suo aspetto esteriore pingue e pacioso, da professore d’altri tempi, Giovanni Spadolini è ricordato soprattutto come un grande mediatore. E certamente il leader repubblicano, di cui ricorre il trentennale della morte avvenuta il 4 agosto 1994, possedeva notevoli doti di equilibrio, che gli permettevano di giocare un ruolo di rilievo in […]
L'articolo



spesso leggo i commenti che sintetizzo come "il genere umano è la feccia del mondo animale"
ci sono 2 modi di agire: razionale e istintivo. se condanniamo l'operato umano in base a "sentimenti" e paure stiamo agendo a livello istintivo. come agisce un animale. quindi usiamo la natura animale dell'uomo per definirlo lontano da ideali "animali" di una perfezione che in realtà, un etologo, direbbe "lontani" dal vero comportamento animale, profondamente amorale. e come volere un uomo che abbia valori superiori e morali e poi criticarlo di non essere degno animale.
e come se ci fossimo romanzati una natura che non esiste, con animali "virtuosi", secondo canoni umani e non animali, e poi accusiamo l'uomo di comportarsi come un animale e di essere lontano dalla natura. ha senso? no. un autentico corto-circuito del pensiero. la specie umana non può essere contemporaneamente umorale e animale e distante dalla natura e "amorale" sulla base di canoni animali che ci siamo inventati noi.
mi piacerebbe qualcuno mi aiutasse a mettere meglio a fuoco questo discorso.


After 303 days of genocidal war on #Gaza, extensively documented and broadcasted every second, one truth remains: the world is indifferent & lacking compassion. Tens of thousands of lives have been lost—entire families, including children, women, the elderly, and young people

@Simone @Poliverso - notizie dal fediverso effettivamente un CW / abstract “lungo” per accorciarlo quando ce lo si trova nella timeline (soprattutto qui su friendica dove *ritorna*) avrebbe fatto comodo

@Elena ``of Valhalla'' ho provato diversi sistemi per rendere quel post compatibile con mastodon, meno invasivo possibile e leggibile. .

Mi sembra che finora non sia riuscito a trovare nessuna possibilità. Considerando che non è stato neanche pubblicato nella community di Lemmy, e non ho neanche capito perché, ho deciso di cancellarlo 🤣

@Simone



qualcuno pensa che all'epoca (anni 2000) non proporre alla russia di entrare nella nato sia stato un errore, altri (me inclusa) che se lo avessimo fatto oggi staremmo pagando conseguenze terribili (molto peggio di un'ungheria o una polonia dentro l'unione europea). in ultima analisi non possiamo sapere e io non ho la sfera di cristallo. anche perché il problema russo è stato anche forse creato dal modo assurdo con cui Boris Nikolaevič El'cin ha transizionato da un'economia pianifica a una capitalista, e un occidente distratto. il popolo russo è sempre stato "educato" a patriottismo e "grandezza". quindi al di la di putin ci sono elementi per sostenere che in breve tempo la russia sarebbe potuta diventare un paese diverso e amante della pace? teoricamente si, nel senso che l'ucraina è partita dalle stesse condizioni russe e ci è riuscita. ma vale anche per la russia?
