👨‍💻 I am interested in wired & radio communication, DSP, (embedded) software dev & engineering, FOSS, reverse engineering, IT security, space, programmable and non-programmable bricks, old and new computer technology, robots, machine embroidery & other things. Living in 🇩🇪. Speaking 🇩🇪/🇬🇧/💻 and understanding a little bit of 🇫🇷.

This is the hardest message I have ever written.

Does anyone in have a lead on a company that would be willing to sponsor a web development technical lead?

I am open to most Euro, Japan, and Oceania.

My German is bad. My Japanese is a bit better. I would love to get better.

It seems like things are going to be no longer safe for my family.

Help me.

Please boost. 🙇

I feel like I know at least one person for each of these options...

Hey, if you're interested in doing signal processing on embedded devices using OpenEmbedded, and maybe shy away from corporate pricing for OE workshops:

@gnuradio #GRCon25 features a workshop "GNU Radio on Embedded SDRs" by Philip Balister @Crofton (of OE fame) and Toby Flynn (of RedWire Technologies).
There's week/1day tickets available & if you're into SDR, #GPU-accelerated DSP, satellite comms, radio astronomy, physics with SDR, DSP architecture, radio metrology, …, it's a really nice conf.

💬 Lasst uns eine Petition an den #WDR starten...

✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️
#KommInsFediverseMaus
✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️

Ich werde den #WDR anschreiben und ihnen mitteilen, dass sich diese vielen* Menschen "#DieMaus" im FEDIVERSE wünschen❗

Wie könnt IHR euch daran beteiligen?

✅ * ALLE, die sich positiv im #Kommentar dazu äußern oder dieses Posting teilen, werde ich als Unterzeichner.innen im ANSCHREIBEN aufzählen

When I was a kid, I sometimes wondered how a sprinkler "knew" how to change directions without being powered with electronics. I think it wasn't until I was in my late 30s that I came across this GIF and I realized how insanely genius a simple sprinkler really is.

EDIT: Some people have kindly pointed out that this GIF was in fact from a demonstration on how different gears function and not from an actual sprinkler as I had originally led to believe. Other people have been assholes about it.

Die Antwort auf meine ewige Frage "In welcher Welt leben wir eigentlich?" ist "Nicht in der selben!"

👋
Ich suche Speaker*innen (explizit nicht Typen) im #ITSecurity Umfeld, bestenfalls mit und rund um #OpenSource Technologien.
Solltest du dich da sehen, aber nochnie darüber erzählt haben helfe ich auch super gerne bei der Erarbeitung einer Präsentation.

Gerne teilen fürs Hivemind!

Anyone can recommend forgotten books about designing and programming text user interfaces (TUI) for consoles/terminals, also known as screen design back in the 80s?

*Not* curses or using existing libraries, but more like relying directly on ANSI/VT100 control sequences. And *no*, I'm not asking for a list of escape sequences :)

The kind of material I'm thinking of is something close to the 1989 "Programming the User Interface: Principles and Examples" by Judith R. Brown and Steve Cunningham. But focused on TUI exclusively. The more (pseudo-)code, the better.

Gibt es jemanden in meiner Bubble der mir für ein paar Tage ein Differential-#GPS / #GNSS-Gerät in Geodäsie-Qualität leihen könnte?

Bevor ich damit anfange das Katasteramt zur Vermessung und setzen von Grenzsteinen bei meinem kleinen Biotop (ich vermute der Bauer nebenan ackert da immer mehr hinein) einzubinden, will ich das erst selber ausmessen, ob das tatsächlich passiert.

I've iterated bytes from 0x00 to 0xff for each tile and these are the results in terms of colors they produce.

The image below was produced by interspersing incrementing byte values with 0x00 for ease of counting tiles.

The color names I took them from colorhexa.com .

0x00: transparent
0x01: ?? (very dark grayish orange, 686050)
0x02: nature (dark lime green, 008000)
0x03: buildings (dark orange [brown tone], a87430)
0x04: ?? (pure (or mostly pure) blue, 00a0f8)
0x05: track (black)
0x06: ?? (dark grayish lime green, 909490)
0x07: pavements (very dark gray, 505050)
0x08-0x1f: ?? (grayish orange, d0c0a0)
0x20-0xfe: ?? (light grayish lime green)
0xff: ?? (bright magenta, f848e0)

@goncalor I have no idea what any of this means, but that’s one cool graphic.
