Are there people or groups that teach each other the basics of surviving in nature and/or in harsh conditions? Girl- / boy- scouts for grown-ups? Preppers but without the far right and less individualistic?

There was an article about moving to Codeberg on the orange website yesterday, and out of interest to get an impression of what average programmers think of the idea of moving, I took at look at the comments. (Yeah, I know â€¦)

I’m going to write here my thoughts on a general impression of the comment thread as a whole. (Rather than respond to individuals.)

It feels like all my peers are experiencing Deep Blue and having to choose their future career path:

expert in a dying field

or

collaborator in a fascist project.

It feels like all my peers are experiencing Deep Blue and having to choose their future career path: expert in a dying field or collaborator in a fascist project.

I don't know who needs to hear this (the answer is probably no one Cameron) but the easiest way to close the end of IC tubes like this is to just take an xacto knife and make a tiny cut like this. Then you can press in or out the corner to make a toggleable door, no keeping track of little plastic pegs or tape required
KiCad version 10 is out today! Lots of features, lots of speed. We hope you like it. https://www.kicad.org/blog/2026/03/Version-10.0.0-Released/

New year, new keytar thread.

Here's my power hungry charlieplexed LED board. It will serve as both indicators for various MIDI controls, as well as a low-res display of sorts.

The top row are faders: 9 for organ drawbar stuff, and the last 2 for expression and main volume. The group of 16 LEDs at the button left are assignable toggle buttons. The weird thing in the middle, with 6 rows, acts as virtual guitar strings for the strum section. The big LED matrix at the bottom right is either an XY pad or palm mute depending on the mode your in. And the row of 6 LEDs directly above the XY pad is pitch bend.

Hopefully, I'll have the CAD model soon showing how this fits in with the touch panel.

An old M28 series locomotive, first produced in 1955 by the Hungarian Wagon and Machine Works in Győr. Mostly they serviced industrial railways, moving loads and freight.

This one worked at a now abandoned thermal power plant in Hungary. Now it sits silent and forgotten inside an old rail shed.

After having to low cut the master at our dub / kraut rehearsals I'm seriously considering getting into sound system making. (The smell of burning woofers is no fun).

This is the worst possible video to see in that situation. (And you should absolutely watch it).
