"Thats not to say there haven’t been growing pains. When a great steak comes out of the microwave I get really excited. But more than half the steaks that come out of the microwave get sent back by the customer. To solve this problem I now run ten microwaves in parallel cooking ten steaks. One out of the ten steaks will most likely be good. The number of microwaves has required me to upgrade my restaurant’s electrical system and I now have a small nuclear reactor installed in the parkin…

Novel research reveals thriving microbial life in trees
There's a thriving community of diverse microbes living in tree wood, a new study led by a Yale School of the Environment team of scientists has found. A single tree hosts about one trillion bacteria in its woody tissue.

Peaceful microbes outlast aggressive rivals in harsh, frequently disrupted environments

Peaceful microbes outlast aggressive rivals in harsh, frequently disrupted environments
On the battlefield that is the microbial world, where microorganisms often try to wipe out the competition by producing various toxins, sometimes it helps to be a pacifist.

This is the third full build iteration of my miniature #QRP unun supporting both EFHW and "random wire" antennas. At this point, it is still fiddly to build, but I'd expect an experienced #HamRadio DIY / homebrew enthusiast to find the build not terribly difficult.
There's nothing…

Photograph of tiny QRP unun showing size of overall assembly including integrated coax. BNC connector for scale! The corners of the box have M3 countersink screws. There are three knobs on the side; a purple knob for the counterpoise connection, and red (high voltage!) knobs for "random wire" and end-fed half wave connections,
Inside view of unun autotransformer showing construction details, next to a ruler for scale, showing that the entire box is less that 3.5 cm across. There is a half-inch ferrite in the box, wrapped in kapton tape, with a 14-turn autotransformer wrapped around it. There are three M3x8 brass screws through the edges, connected to the transformer with ring terminals. The screws are held in place by captive nuts. An RG316 coax segment comes in through the side of the box to feed the autotransformer…
Side view of assembled unun, without a terminal knob, showing how thin it is. The letter "R" is visible on the side of the box, indicating that the adjacent terminal is intended for a "random wire" antenna.
A photo showing a comparison of this version of the unun design to the previous iteration, configured for deployment. The previous iteration was built on a SO-239 bulkhead connector, with a PL-259-to-BNC connector attached.

Am I the only one who foresees the future #AI business model as enshittified ad-infused LLMs? Once LLMs are ingrained in every class and board room, you‘ll suddenly have to pay big bucks while the free plans will be riddled with ads. It‘ll be like that #BlackMirror episode where the teacher spews comme…

Studie: Menschen atmen täglich 68.000 Mikroplastikpartikel in Innenräumen ein
Mikroplastik kann gesundheitliche Schäden verursachen. In Innenräumen ist die Konzentration der Partikel laut Forschern höher als bisher gedacht.
