@squirrel YAY!

The UTC hand on my watch is now marginally useful! Yay!

(damn DST)

@kibi Of course the tea is fake

Proudhon said that proper tea is theft so we had to switch to the fake stuff to avoid being arrested

ATTENTION:

The United Kingdom is now on UTC+1 as the clocks have just gone forward an hour

Please adjust anything that needs adjusting accordingly

@mxsparks oh if only soy did work like that

A lot of people would be saving a lot of money on meds

@cypnk Seiko movements might be the easiest option for DIY projects, availability is good, different dials/handsets/etc. are easy to find, and they're relatively inexpensive

The NH35A movement for example is pretty damn good and you can get it for under $40

If you want to go upscale though you can find Sellita and ETA movements without too much trouble

@cypnk So far CSACs have been a bit on the large side for watches, someone did make one though; https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/introducing-the-bathys-cesium-133-atomic-clock-watch

And yeah, making your own movement has some seriously daunting precision requirements for a hobbyist

If you want to play about though you could order all the parts and assemble it yourself

@noelle huh, a rare portal to the nice, decent universe

@KitRedgrave@glitch.social I'd probably be burned at the stake for being a witch

@Elizafox could you have set it up as a church instead?

@cypnk looks good, prefer ISO personally but that should do the job nicely

@shekkiesqueaks two radios, one connects to the hotel wifi, the other puts anything it receives through the vpn

Quick and dirty DIY is usually just a raspi zero or something with two radios plugged into it

@cypnk Ctrl key on the home row WHERE IT'S MEANT TO BE DAMNIT

I'll give you the Esc key placement though

@shekkiesqueaks also *pets*

@shekkiesqueaks basic idea is that your travel router connects to the hotel wifi, then you connect your stuff to the travel router

travel router has a vpn client on it that connects via the hotel wifi to your vpn server out in the internet somewhere

all the traffic it receives from your stuff it shoves through the vpn connection to the vpn server so all the hotel network sees is encrypted traffic
