Hey folx! You probably see a lot of stuff from other social networks mirrored to Mastodon, how about we do it the other way around?
Recently, I've starred to mirror my posts to Instagram, Reddit, and other platforms, and I've had quite the success. My biggest post on Instagram, which is just one screenshot of a Mastodon post, has 44.5k likes and 256k views. My

Erik Uden on Instagram: "Babe, wake up. New man-made horrors beyond comprehension dropped!! In the end of the day, these companies probably realized that, just like with AI, they can somehow use scare tactics to attract venture capital. It's still a horrifying thing to think of, but possibly overblown to get money. The headline of the Science article reads: Not alive, but not dead: disembodied human brains used for drug testing By restoring some functions to intact brains from deceased donors, the startup Bexorg hopes to create a better drug development test bed for neurodegenerative diseases, written by Sara Reardon, published on the 20th of May 2026. Though, reading this Science article made me think: aren't we the brain? Am I missing something here? Now, of course the devil lies in the detail and the article makes it clear that this startup only restores “some functions”, which is certainly more complex in action than it is in theory written here, but certain language of the article makes me question the author's understanding of what is a human. The article writes: “Just a day ago, the brain was in a living person. Now, hours after its owner died, it sits on a cart draped in tubes [...]” What do you mean “it's owner” — isn't the brain it's owner? Isn't that where it's owner is? I mean, certainly the brain had no more activity, the person must've been declared brain dead by all standards before being sent to this startup, still it's odd hearing someone donated their brain instead of saying they've donated... themselves? Also “using a set of proprietary brain-sustaining machines” is a terrible sentence I always thought the people who don't donate their full body to hospitals are religious lunatics, but this is the first time I wrote something on my organ donor card. They can take my brain, but not as one piece."

Continuing to tweak the 25G diff pairs.
Here I replace a single large meander with a couple of smaller ones and adjust trace width slightly to reduce the mismatch at each meander.
The end result is replacing a single large reflection with a slightly wider but much lower one that should present less of an issue.
(The dip at T=100 is at the BGA ball itself and I'll be tweaking the cutout there slightly as well)

I took my better camera damselfly hunting today - and found quite a few; (and some ladybirds) - although some better pics were actually at a pond side I more regularly go past.

FreeBSD in Oracle VirtualBox
A pleasant change with FreeBSD-16.0-CURRENT-amd64-20260713-60382b4a04fa-287406-disc1.iso

Something fun is growing inside a double-glazing panel near our washing machine; I guess it's loving being kept warm a lot of the time (and probably a bit damp). Couldn't say if it's fungal or bacterial or what but it certainly looks very fractal.
