The Netherlands' first major Carbon Capture and Storage project is progressing. Its CO2 collection pipeline through the Port of Rotterdam industrial area is under construction now, with 11 valve stations to connect users.
Porthos should start to store 2.5 million tonnes/year of CO2 in a depleted offshore gas field from next year.
OK, a sidequest on the #tricycle project: I'm going to have to do data capture, storage and display. I need to log speed, cadence, battery voltage, and some indicator of power consumption. I need to display at least speed, cadence, and projected range. I can do speed and cadence off hall effect sensors. I want to use #Lisp

Who's the real enemy now? Extremely wealthy people (oligarchs) and large corporations (especially in health, fossil fuels, media, & tech). Everything else is probably manageable. We need to hobble the extremely wealthy and the mega corporations. We need to end the 'corporations-as-person' model. as well. It is untenable. That also means rejecting, explicitly & systemically, groups like the Atlas Network/Project 2025.
For the record, these have long been the enemy, b…
I hate that every time I consider using an @… product I need to consider how often their products go out of stock.
Especially if I plan to use them in a product/project for someone. Like, will it be available if I need more? How long of a lead time will there be? Do I need to stock up on inventory just in case?

I bought some of these for a project and only realized once I had them that they are effectively gender changers and require USB-A-to-USB-A cables, which aren’t allowed by the USB spec.
I see that nevertheless such cables exist, and it’s for power only, but I wonder whether this can actually work?
Any ideas?

Starting with something like the Grange book of sheet music below and record them ... Apparently the music can get to midi via Play Score 2, and other programs can could sing the lyrics.

"The fundamental problem is this: that most of the means of communication are owned or influenced by the very rich. If democracy is the problem capital is always trying to solve, propaganda is part of the solution. Like the kings and empire-builders of the past, they use their platforms to project the claims that suit them and suppress the claims that don’t. This means boosting right and far-right movements, which defend wealth and power..." -- George Monbiot.

I would guess that 98% of my microcontroller needs are a cheap board I can program using the Arduino IDE along with any of the zillion of existing libraries out there.
Thanks to Earle Philhower's arduino-pico project I switched to using the $4 USD Raspberry Pi Pico years ago, and I was using the Teensy LC boards before that but those were discontinued. (I like the Teensy boards but they are more than I need for 98% of my projects.)

Folks, you know Joy, my partner at Gaza Verified who is herself enduring Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza while trying to help her fellow Palestinians. Well, she’s gone and done the sort of thing Joy does, which is to use the money she had saved from her donations to pay for her aunt’s cancer surgery. She’s one of the most selfless people I know and I’d be very grateful if you could help with her fundraiser so she can afford to buy everyday necessities for her family.
This is her fund…
