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!

I wrote about my first two months on Mastodon. I was a Mastodon hater because I thought it would be weird, complicated, or dead. It's been none of those things.

I'm ashamed I didn't join earlier and I'm ashamed I haven't been telling people to join it, because it's a version of the internet and social media I've long advocated for with my reporting: decentralized, portable, user controlled, not corporate:

@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.

I'm your sleep enabling demon

I appear in the middle of the night, tuck you in, then hide under the bed in case you need a glass of water fetching at any point

Didn't even realise when (last 10 playtime hours or so?), but I am now a 'Trusted User' on VRChat.

Terrible mistake.

Kinda feel bad that I've not had the energy to draw anything autumn or spooky themed this year.
But! Here's a couple of pics I did a few months back, that kinda on-theme for the season :)
Thanks to @Beckydog for letting me use her as the subject of the sweater pic.

Oh wow, Neil Newbon who plays Astarion in Baldur's Gate 3 was James the waiter in the classic Goodness Gracious Me sketch, "going for an english".

Just re-read this.

Regulators of implanted medical technology should be demanding that all source code, design docs and other technical material be lodged in escrow.

If the company ceases to make support available, make it all public.

It's one thing for movies or TV shows or video games to disappear "into the vault", but prioritising protection of completely unused IP rights over the the health and wellbeing of patients is criminal.
