Baby's first unun!
My #AmateurRadio journey continues with making some of my own equipment...
I wanted to be able to connect either an EFHW or an EFRW to my KX3, but move the actual antenna away from the radio, so that I can POTA with other people close enough to talk, while keeping the antennas for the different out of each others' near field so they don't interere. To …

Partially-assembled unun. A nut on the upper right is connected to the coax shield, and is connected to a brass screw on the right for a counterpoise connection. A blue 100pf capacitor is in the upper left of a purple 3d-printed box, connected between ground and the center terminal of the input. At the bottom, the 6th turn is tapped and run to another brass screw which provides the 9:1 random wire connection. A strand of red magnet wire goes up to the upper left over the blue capacitor; it conn…

The internals of the unun with kapton tape covering the torroid, and the 49:1 antenna connection brass screw in the lid at the upper left.

The assembled unun with two wires attached. At the top is a wire next to a ground symbol on the side of the 3d-printed box. This wire is the counterpoise. On the lower right is another wire connected to the side of the box. This is the random wire connected to the 9:1 antenna connection. At the lower left, in the middle of the lid, is the antenna connection for an end-fed half-wave antenna.

Each of the terminals uses a heat-set insert as a finger nut to connect the antennas.

Today’s our last full day up north so we’re hanging out on Thunder Bay even though it’s a little cloudy and a little windy and a little chilly.
Lynn’s labyrinth amazingly survives from year to year (with a little annual TLC).

This photo shows a beautiful beach scene with pristine sandy shores stretching toward calm blue-green waters. The sky dominates much of the frame, filled with dramatic white and gray clouds against a deep blue backdrop. The beach appears relatively undeveloped, with natural dune grass growing behind the shoreline and what looks like a simple circular pattern or marking drawn in the sand in the foreground. Small boats or objects can be seen on the distant horizon. The lighting suggests it’s a pa…

This photo shows the same beach location from a closer perspective, focusing on an intricate spiral pattern in the sand made from dark stones arranged in concentric circular paths forming a walking meditation labyrinth. A few dried plant stems or branches stick up from within the pattern. The beach setting remains consistent with the first image - sandy shores, dune grass in the background, and the same blue-green ocean waters under a partly cloudy sky. This appears to be someone’s artistic cre…

This photo captures the same beach location but with dramatically different weather conditions. The sky is now dominated by dark, ominous storm clouds that create a moody, overcast atmosphere. The lighting is much more subdued and gray compared to the bright, sunny conditions in the previous images. You can see the same spiral pattern in the sand, though it appears less distinct in this lighting. The beach stretches into the distance where there’s a tree line visible on the left side of the fra…

$Another Lynn creation, one that Claude fails to capture: a bunch of sticks stuck in the sand around a clump of grass. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This photo provides a close-up view of the beach’s natural vegetation. In the foreground, there are clumps of beach grass and dune plants growing directly in the sand, with their characteristic long, narrow blades and some dried, brown stems mixed among the green growth. The vegetation appears to be typical coastal dune grass that helps stabilize the sandy environme…$

We in Game Workers Unite Ireland stand in solidarity with Animation Workers of Ireland, and the international trade union coalition happening to organise against the threat of AI in the animation industry, and we support their call to acton.

ANIMATION INDUSTRY IN DANGER : WORLD UNIONS DECLARE EMERGENCY IN THE FACE OF GENERATIVE Al USE. Graphic with the text Let's Stop AI Generated Art.

ENGLISH VERSION

This statement was composed by a collective of international Animation Unions, federations, and organisations calling for action in regards to the usage of generative Artificial Intelligence and its destructive impact, not only on the global animation industry and the craft itself, but also on everyone who is employed by it, our culture and our planet. The animation industry is suffering, after the explosion of the streaming bubble and the pandemic. The workers are feeling the …

This same technology is being used to foster dissent, confusion and distrust among the public. This unchecked growth and unjustified techno-optimism comes with incredible environmental consequences, including expanding demand for computing power, larger carbon footprints, shifts in patterns of electricity and water demands and an accelerated depletion of natural resources. As such, there is a need for protection frameworks around GenAl, centered around transparency, compensation, control on the…

We invite all workers, students and allies to join us in Annecy festival, to discuss concerns and defense against GenAl, and to hear unions representatives read the statement on Thursday, June 12th, at 2 PM, on the Paquier (and then a map graphic)

A cormorant standing on rocks at the edge of a pond. June 2025

Photo of a cormorant, standing on a rock at the edge of a small pond in our neighborhood used for irrigation, looking to the left of the image. The bird is dark all over, darker on the belly. The wings are mottled dark gray with darker lines between the gray parts. On the head, also mostly dark, the chin is orange. There is a small hook at the end of the beak. The time is around sunset, in the shade, so the image is dark overall, but there are rocks behind the bird's head that are a lighter gra…

„This loss of income cannot be explained by women's career paths or their exit from the workforce. Nor can it be explained by the very real constraints imposed by the birth of a child.
Not only do heterosexual men not experience any loss of income related to the birth of a child, which might be explained by mothers still being primarily responsible for childcare, but the same is true for both fathers in a same-sex couple.“

Tomorrow, we will dive deeper into ontologies with OWL, the Web Ontology Language. However, I'm doing OWL-lectures now for almost 20 years - and OWL as well as the lecture haven't changed much. So, I'm afraid I'm going to surprise/dissapoint the students tomorrow, when I will switch off the presentation and start improvising a random OWL ontology with them on the blackboard ;-)
#ise2025

Slide from the OWL slide deck of Information Service ENgineering 2025. An example for a nominal in OWL is depicted, i.e. a class that is defined by enumerating its members. The example is "MaddAddamTrilogyBook", which refers to a trilogy of novels by Margaret Atwood, It is defined to consist out of "Oryx and Crate, The Year of the Flood, and Madd Addam. The book covers of the three books are shown for an illustration.

""The [newly formed] Debcrafters’ […] team will take the lead on syncing & merging packages from Debian, reviewing proposed migration issues, upstreaming Ubuntu deltas, and take ownership of major transitions […]""
Makes me wonder how many similar efforts Canonical/Ubuntu already announced over the years to improved the interaction with Debian – and what became of them.

Introducing Debcrafters
Earlier this year, Canonical’s Ubuntu Engineering organisation gained a new team, seeded with some of our most prolific contributors to Ubuntu. Debcrafters is a new team dedicated to the maintenance of the Ubuntu Archive. The team’s primary goal is to maintain the health of the Ubuntu Archive, but its unique construction aims to attract a broad range of Linux distribution expertise; contributors to distributions like Debian, Arch Linux, NixOS and others are encouraged to join the team, and…

I used the Claude AI tools and Claude-flow agent framework to write all the code. Got a simplified thing running and cleaned up on Tuesday, built the full functionality on Wednesday and after a bit more testing and documentation wrapped up work before lunch on Thursday. It’s a lot of well tested and documented functionality.

Entirely reasonable.
"Hamas has responded to the latest US-proposed ceasefire with demands for a pathway to a permanent ceasefire, instead of a temporary one where the Israeli government could unilaterally restart hostilities as they did in March.
"They have also called for a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip and the resumption of aid and assistance to the besieged area."

Why Hamas is seeking to change the US-proposed Gaza ceasefire deal
Hamas claims the response was positive but with added provisions. Still, they’ve drawn criticism from the US and Israel.

#Capitalism

Austrian (@praustrian@mastodon.social)
@remixtures@tldr.nettime.org People can blame #capitalism for the fact that there are 8 billion people on the planet. But they should not blame capitalism for the #climate catastrophe. It is people who are killing the climate, not capitalism. People cannot save the climate with or without #socialism. Socialism will simply kill humanity before nature does.
