oh, in case anyone wants an esd sensitive electronics symbol for a pcb or something, feel free to use this: https://git.mildlyfunctional.gay/artemist/play/raw/branch/canon/cad/inkscape/cat_esd.svg

@npub1rv4…ft5j The smallest one I know of is https://fpx.oxplot.com/
It's configured by blinking lights on your screen to a light sensor on the board

i hate how home consoles now are just "pc with fucked up freebsd/windows".
they should make another console that has 7 cores of an architecture you've never heard of
games should run at kernel level and have to include their own scheduler. don't worry, you can have 3 cores of 3 different architectures to manage filesystem access and such.

@npub1cpp…e7uy please, i want a 6 architecture universal binary

they should make factorio but more annoying (power lines have a max current carrying capacity and resistive losses, you can create transformer substations for long-distance 250kV power lines, motors create reactive power)

@npub10sm…hjqm Is there a reason that the package was using the tarball with fetchurl instead of a FetchFromGitHub of the more transparent git source? We already have plenty of stuff that uses autoreconf and such

@npub1r9s…xge4 This would be very challenging to do for some countries. AIUI NZ citizens can spend 90 days each in 17 Schengen countries without counting towards their 90 within 180 days, but the rules are somewhat vague and poorly explained

@npub1zdp…vqv8 That hot plate is pretty nice, but IME it can be kind of dangerous, I've burned myself on it before.
It might be less dangerous if you understand the UI though, I would unplug it and have no warning it was hot

@npub178r…qekt If you're willing to do non-USD hard currencies, then EUR is around twice as dense (200EUR banknotes are readily available from ATMs in some countries) and the Swiss franc is around 10x as dense (1000CHF banknotes are still in circulation). EUR is definitely going to be more convertible than CHF but they got rid of the 500EUR note a few years ago

@npub1683…f0qg How efficient is this process? The EU has set somewhat aggressive collection ratios in the past and have sometimes not managed to reach them. They are targeting 70% recovery of lithium by 2030 (this includes batteries that are not returned). According to a review paper efficiencies tend to top out at around 90%.
If it's any less than 100% we'll need massive amounts of lithium as cars get bigger. This seems to often come at the expense of indigenous peoples, e.g. Canada is already planning on destroying more Cree land to mine lithium.
My position, and the position of most people I talk to about this, is that battery recycling and more electric cars are necessary, but not sufficient. A lot of this reasoning is described in a whitepaper from UC Davis and various other researchers around the US.
In addition to recycling it's important to improve public transportation, reduce the use of cars in cities, promote e-bikes, and increase density in cities. This would have other positive effects, such as more social mobility (easier to get to jobs and poor people do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a car), more safety, less noise, and lower PM2.5 from tires.

@npub1qru…8lu4 @npub1c57…awu5 Just as a music listener I've tried to figure out how it works and it's a huge mess.
Most of the services will take almost any music but they don't want to deal with artists directly, so they have a list of allowed distributors that they've authorized to submit music and metadata. Artists have to pay to get their music submitted through a distributor.
The distributors are too small to negotiate recording royalty payments, so those are negotiated by Merlin Network Limited and the money is funneled through them and the distributor before it gets to the artist.
Countries also have separate statutory royalties for songwriters, which Merlin won't deal with and distributors won't collect unless you pay them extra. In the US there's the Mechanical Licensing Collective for mechanical royalties and SoundExchange for performance royalties. I don't really understand how those work except that apparently there's a difference between a listener choosing a track and the platform automatically choosing a track for the listener.

@npub1c57…awu5 It always seems weird when I can't find small artists on bandcamp, just streaming. I prefer to buy lossless music (on a CD or as lossless files, so I can transcode them to weird formats for my various devices) and there are very few places left that let you do that

@npub1znz…8l64
I'm honestly considering doing the same thing. I was born in the US but I'm an Italian citizen by descent and I spent years getting that registered so that I could flee if needed.

2023-08-01 05:12:27

Hot take:
The Compact Disc is still the most futuristic audio format. Forget streaming, files, or the vinyl resurgence, CDs output music at near the top of the quality a human can hear by shooting LASERS at a mirror spinning 8 times per second. This somehow just works and you can read a $0.10 disc with a $20 drive.
When I buy music, I prefer to have it on a CD. I can rip it into my computer easily and if I ever lose that copy I can just rip it again, bit perfect every time. There's no subscription and no DRM that can take it away from me, I have a physical thing.

@npub1r4h…u0jf Adding Rust is a super recent thing and has been somewhat delayed as Rust adds better support for allocation failing without crashing the entire system.

I'm back to looking for work, if anyone is interested in a security engineer with experience in ARM Assembly, C, C++, Rust, NixOS, hardware and software reverse engineering, Linux instrumentation, and container internals then please contact me!
I'm currently based in NYC and am a dual US/EU citizen. I'd be willing to move to large cities in Germany. If you'd prefer to contact me by email, you can use job@artem.ist
