A relatively new YouTube channel that makes some really good foundational videos on various topics. Mostly power electronics related but ususally explained in a way that is applicable to more areas.

@npub1j8a…00pg Do you otherwise have good stereo vision?
A friend of mine had these issues for life too and only very recently discovered that it was due to a form of Strabismus that went undetected, they then got prism glasses that made them able to play games that they never could before.

ThunderScope is an amazing high-speed USB-C osciloscope. With 500MHz bandwidth and an incredible low noise floor it also comes at a fantastic price! Other options go for easily 5-10x the price.
On top of all that, it is open source hardware!
Go check it out at https://www.crowdsupply.com/eevengers/thunderscope
The campaign closes in less than a week!

PSA If you got a Logitech G502 and also annoyed about the rubber getting icky over time. You get fairly cheap replacement top shells with just the rubbery bits on AliExpress for ~10€

Made an adapter to Fuji X mount for the Cisco conference camera and the level of zoom on that tiny sensor is hilarious, that is my monitor from half a meter away.
The quality is really good though, seems to be a CCD sensor not CMOS.

Given that Mastodon now has an ex Twitter founder board member and Bluesky does not.
Are we being consequential and move over to Bluesky or was that reason against Bluesky and ATP just a petty argument because of "not invented here" syndrome?
Both are open source solutions and from a technical perspective I think ATproto is the much better designed system for a decentralized social network.
Self hosting for yourself is actually viable on ATproto without being a hobby SysAdmin.

One example for under 500€ that fulfills the spec limits:

Keep in mind that in Berlin you need aproval before you can buy if you want the subsidy.
Its the opposite in other programs so read up before you make an order.

Was more sparing with indoor masking on my last days and got the prompt receipt🫠
