@mcdanlj@social.makerforums.infoToday's #HamRadio project was making elevated radials for an HF vertical. I have a 25' whip, a JPC-12, and some random parts I made. My idea is to have more efficient elevated radials, but unlike ground-coupled radials, elevated radials need to be tuned.

It took about 5 hours.

@chiraag@mastodon.onlineI have been using GNU/Linux for almost 18 years now (started with Ubuntu 7.10 in April 2008, just before 8.04 (Hardy Heron) was released). In that time, I stuck with Ubuntu for a few years, then switched to CrunchBang (#!) Linux, which then shifted its base from Ubuntu to Debian before ceasing to exist entirely (it was a one-man project), at which point I migrated to Debian proper (I think back in 2014).

@tante@tldr.nettime.orgMaybe we should establish a "maintenance.md" practice just like "readme.md" or "LICENSE" where you just clearly outline the amount of maintenance the project/development team are planning to put into the code base and under which conditions.
I have seen that a few times but maybe it should be more of a standard.
@hex@kolektiva.socialThe existence of Israel is a manifestation of European antisemitism, both historically justifying the project of Zionism and European governments continuing to fund Israel instead of addressing the core role of antisemitism in maintaining (at least) the conservative elements of the neoliberal order.
If antisemitism props up Israel, then a core part of dismantling Israel (and thus saving the lives of Palestinians) is addressing European antisemitism. There are Israeli Jews who would leave if they felt safe to do so. There are Jews demanding Israel be armed, because they don't feel safe anywhere else.
Protest, boycott, take whatever action you feel is appropriate. There is a limit to your ability to convince governments to stop funding genocide, but you can learn about antisemitism and you can work to fight it, especially within "The Left." You can learn to distinguish between legitimate critiques of Israel, and antisemitic ones, and you can stand and call out antisemitic ones.
Honestly, this is some of the easy work that I think a lot of people don't consider even doing, don't even realize it is a thing that can be done.
I'm talking to Israeli folks who identify as being on the Left. It's hard because they've been through a lot of propaganda. Israel is a cult that terrorizes its members. This is important work that can have a huge impact, because it focuses on dismantling the networks of support that reinforce what's happening now.
Meanwhile, I still run into wild things like "Rothschild" conspiracy theories among people who identify with the idea of supporting Palestinians.
Not only can you support the liberation of Palestine and the Palestinian people while opposing antisemitism, but you must actually do both in order to do either. They are exactly the same fight, and anything short of both is thrashing against oneself.
@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca#poolpond progress today as we approach spring. Need to clear out the backyard enough so I can get a local guy with a mini bulldozer to soread out and flatten out the dirt mountain.
I came to a realization over the winter that leaving the lining as is in the pool with just a bottom of gravel and nothing on the sides is definitely not an option.
Turns out if the hole is emptied in the rainy season, then water will drain into the gap between the lining and earth... bulging the lining out into the cavity. Nope. Not good. keeping water in it keeps things in place, but realstically winter and spring will be when I want to do cleaning and stuff.
So that means I must do my best rock wall building up the sides this spring once the surrounding ground dries. This was my original plan, but I had hoped to do it without grouting or cement. That was a mistake on my part that I learned in earnest in August.
So now, all the various rock sizes piled around the yard is not going anywhere.... BUT at least with the leftovers from the fence i have material to build some forms to help with the wall building....
So that's why my attention for preparing for spring will turn to reactivating the surrounding yard.
So I need to find a place closer to the house to move what rock is left. Ugh. heavy work. And I realized today that someone has taken our garden cart 😢 boo.
oh well, onward we go! There is light at the end of the project!

I have such conflicted thoughts on this.
What happened? Gross. It's very much a harm as a systemic effect of "AI"
But also _open source industry_ is in fact a thing I think has been deeply destructive and somewhat replaced the collectivist work done before. We could go back to that. That was good stuff.
But TailwindCSS is super popular.
I also think it's a bad technology, meant to undermine the foundations and design of CSS, leading us to technically worse places.
Also the business? It is selling themes and components.
That's a really hard business to be in. The time to buy a license comes in a project's lifecycle too early, so people avoid it. It's a weird business. Not one I think people should plan to have work.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsFor a project to be truly #OpenSource (not to mention #FreeSoftware), it really needs to:
1. Have a *public* issue tracker that enables you to browse and search through issue reports *without* having to create an account.
2. Accept issue reports, with no strings attached. Yes, expecting registration is fine. Yes, expecting some effort to file a good bug report is fine. No, expecting people to ask permission, donate or otherwise put a lot of extra work to report a problem is not.
3. Do not close issue reports as "stale". Yes, it's fine to close a report if you really believe it was fixed, or if you asked for something and the user didn't reply for a long time. It's not fine to run a bot expecting users to jump every month so that the issue report that *you are ignoring* doesn't get closed.
If a project doesn't meet these, it's just a glorified throwaway code.

No wonder. Mostly the industry seems to be settling on using head-mounted cameras rather than sweeping infra-red beams and receptors on the head anyway.
It is true that lighthouses give accurate positioning, but means I can't easily take the headset next door, say. Or to a party.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
We move onto #24 in our countdown of #CanadaRivers with the Koksoak River. At 874 km it is the largest river in the Nunavik region of northern Quebec. The name Koksoak is believed to originate from Moravian missionaries who evangelized among the Inuit of the area at the beginning of British rule and incorrectly spelled the Inuktitut word Kuujjuaq, meaning "great river." It drains a watershed of 133,400 km/2 and because of its volume, 2,800 square metres per second, its waters have been diverted as part of the massive James Bay hydroelectric project. That project drowned 7,000 square miles of Cree hunting land causing decades of conflict between Indigenous peoples and the Quebec government, with major issues resolved by a treaty signed in 2002.
Two rivers into our countdown and I'm sensing a trend: big river -> hydroelectric development -> trampling of Indigenous rights -> treaty to resolve injustices.

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioStill, there are some other things Hypercard did we’d do well to study, even with full-scale tools. Off the top of my head:
- It richly rewarded unguided exploration. Unsuccessful experimentation had a way of leading to paths forward, not just dead ends.
- Much of it worked by direct manipulation: if you want the thing there, you put the thing there. (Unity and Godot both sort of kind of do some descendant of this, but not with the same discoverability and transparency.)
- There was a rich library of good starting points, modifiable examples.
- An empty but functioning new project had essentially zero boilerplate. You didn’t have to have 15 files and hundreds of lines of code to get a blank page.
- Its UI made it easy-ish for newcomers to ask “What can I do with this thing here?” Modern autocomplete and inline docs kind of sort of approximate this, but in practice only for people who already have tool expertise.
- HyperTalk (the programming language) is tricky to write (it’s a p-lang), but it’s remarkably easy to read. You can peer at it with very limited knowledge and make educated guesses about its semantics, and those guesses will be mostly correct. (HyperTalk syntax tends to get the most attention when people talk about this, I think at the expense of the other things above.)

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsLet's get this straight: it is entirely normal for a #OpenSource project to accumulate bug reports over time. They're not a thing to be ashamed of.
On the contrary, if you see a nontrivial project with a very small number of bug reports, it usually means one of the following:
a. you've hit a malicious fake,
b. the project is very young and it doesn't have many users (so it's likely buggy),
c. the project is actively shoving issues under the carpet.
None of that is a good sign. You don't want to use that (except for b., if you're ready to be the beta tester).

I find that noteworthy because I'm going back to the time tracker I enjoyed using until 2018, when due to the project announcing EoL (IIRC) I switched to charmtimetracker.
Now that too is EoL since 2023, but hamster development did continue after 2018, so hey, could have saved myself a lot of annoyance by sticking with the software I like and patching it up where needed.
@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
February 3rd, 1916, a fire breaks out in Canada’s Parliament buildings resulting in a total loss of the structure with only the library saved. In the midst of #WWI, German sabotage was suspected but a later investigation found that a burning cigar in some furniture was more likely. Our current Parliament building replaced the ruins and have served faithfully ever since. But approximately a year ago the rehabilitation of Canada’s Centre Block on Parliament Hill started. Expected to cost $4.5B to $5B, it is a multi-year project targeted for completion by 2031. Crumbling mortar, outdated electrical and HVAC, and weak supporting structure are all on the to-do list, as well as modernizing the building.
I started watching this 2-part CPAC video last night (2 hours in total) and it's full of history and architecture details. Spoiler: there are no tips for your bathroom reno.

@kurtsh@mastodon.socialWhy does Trump want Greenland? “National security.”
Why should Trump’s ballroom vanity project proceed? “National security.”
Why is Trump killing the wind energy industry? “National security.”
Why does #Trump hate the New York Times? “National security.”
The pattern is ... not subtle.

@tante@tldr.nettime.orgAt work we are part of a EU funded research project. These days it's actually expected to track your social media presence for "impact". So I have to listen to a 10 minute report by someone counting the amounts of likes some meaningless post got on instagram. This is a good investment of everyone's time and money.
@cdarwin@c.im"By the end of 2026, Trump will have begun to distance himself from the aggressively pro-AI industry policies that characterized his AI strategy in 2025,"
wrote retired New York University professor and AI entrepreneur Gary Marcus.
"The giant AI infrastructure plays (like Project Stargate) that he championed after his inauguration will look like an unprofitable and underused mistake.
So will his utter failure to meaningfully regulate AI,

@mrwedders@social.linux.pizzaShould prob plug RiffTrax's MST3K project - about £55 to get the eventual episodes, I'm in.
I didn't have too many problems with Joel's modern MST3K and I will miss Jonah, but will def be interesting to see this team again.

@gwire@mastodon.socialWent searching for a technical report of the 2023 incident when a validly-formatted flight-plan contained a logic error that crashed the UK air traffic control.
"The system project designed and tested an expansive and robust set of scenarios, which provided assurance that the system was highly resilient. [...] One specific part of that logic would have dealt with the issue [...] but inadvertently was not incorporated into the FPRSA-R software code by the manufacturer."
@cdarwin@c.imWhen people talk about the Enlightenment as if it were an intellectual garden party where everyone sipped wine and agreed about reason, they're missing the part where producing and distributing ideas was (in fact) dangerous and thankless work.
Today we have more information than any civilization in history.
But aside from Wikipedia, we've organized the sum total of our collective knowledge into formats optimized for making people angry at strangers in pursuit of private …

@tante@tldr.nettime.orgAnyone here has any experience with a ToDo/Shopping list one can
- self host
- has an Android app
- allows sharing lists between users
?
(I have already googled, only interested in actual experience)
(EDIT: I am asking for an app because I want to be usable by another person who's not looking for an ideological project or an opportunity to learn markdown or how weird PWAs work. That's why a dedicated app would be a plus. )
@cdarwin@c.imThe chance that Trump's ballroom will actually be built is rapidly disappearing.
Perhaps it could have if Trump had delegated the management of the project to someone competent,
but that’s not what he does.
Instead, the famously lazy and disorganized president decided to blow off his actual governance duties in favor of micromanaging a construction project he is incapable of handling.
Finishing the ballroom in the next three years would be difficult for anyone,…
@cdarwin@c.imVarious news about a possible future collider,
all pointing to the CERN FCC-ee as the leading proposal.
The Chinese CEPC plan is now on hold, as a decision was reached to not include it in China’s plans for the next five years (2026-30).
As part of the European Strategy for Particle Physics update process, recommendations drafted earlier this month have now been released
As expected, the main recommendation is to pursue the FCC-ee project, which will cost an esti…

@cdarwin@c.imAmerica is numb to this infrastructure problem
Maryland needs to replace the Chesapeake Bay Bridge,
as everyone who has driven on it knows.
Yet construction to replace the structure is only scheduled to begin in 💥2032.
The most shocking aspect of this story is that locals aren't more shocked.
Tens of thousands of drivers cross the Bay Bridge every day. -- It’s a vital link to the Eastern Shore.
The bridge has no shoulders.
No new lanes have b…

@pre@boing.worldNow that Musk has offloaded Twitter and his AI experiments to SpaceX, he can be sure the government will bail it out when the AI bubble pops. The government's defense industry depends upon SpaceX for access to space.
This is probably the main reason for the "sale" transferring money from one of Musk's bank accounts to another of Musk's bank accounts.
The AI price bubble popping could have wiped out xAI and thus Twitter with it, but now it's cushioned against that by contracts with a government who can't afford to allow their only real space access to go bust.
So he can subsidize his failing AI business and his unprofitable media-manipulation efforts at Twitter with his government-protected failing exploding space-rocket project.
All protected by the lie which the media keep repeating uncritically that it makes any sense at all to have data centers in space.
What a great businessman.
