"The techno-optimist tribe gives off the distinct impression of people who have been so ridiculously rich for so long that they’ve just completely lost the plot about how the real world works. To be fair, this is an apt description of most of Silicon Valley."

Finally made the SMA connector earrings!

Ah, now it's looking a bit more authentic.

The health and success of a software project is positively correlated to how many furry, anime and pony profile pictures you see in the project's activity page.

Protogens are such cuties ^.^

For this year's G3PYE/P entry in the HF SSB Field Day, we decided to try and operate entirely from renewable energy - but in the high power category!

Between 600W of solar, three Ecoflow Delta 2s, and one Tesla, we managed to avoid starting the generators all weekend.

Including for the bean to cup coffee machine, which was entirely powered by sunshine!

@Foxhack EU law

@thatprivacyguy ... so wait, all those sites that detect adblock and don't let you do anything are basically breaking Irish law?

Today I filed a formal complaint against #YouTube with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner for their illegal deployment of #adblock detection technologies.

Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user's terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service.

In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.
