Go to ckent@urbanists.social for anything non-tech or political, including infrastructure, solar & selling power, roads, transit, cycling … even maps, even really geeky maps with Wikipedia 'bahnstrecke' diagrams
This will be my forum for IT security and reliability, high tech and high science … but also retro tech, old Apple stuff … no really old … no, older than that. It's helpful for each audience to have these accounts separated.

What can I use to make this? Hopefully easily (as in, the lines all move in a group if I need to reposition), but honestly I don't care if not — I just want it to know about curves and gaps, positioning nicely by default.

ResEdit (not RegEdit), but it turned up in a 1992 beta of Windows 95 … ever seen "WinPopUp" @siracusa ?

Took a year, but I finally made it to Apple Maps lookaround #streetview
It was the departure of a lovely 3 weeks in #Tasmania … I thought I’d check this while watching Angus Thornett’s latest YouTube video
Throwback Thursday: That time Sourceforge hosted a jokey "Lzip" compression engine, but they only had the compressor finished (decompressor coming soon!) after making the breakthrough that throwing away all the zeroes in a binary file is a great idea because zeroes are just empty space!

How to cure 95% of all Windows ailments, with much courtesy to ThioJoe.
This is just a brat flowchart instead of a tight YouTube guide he made. https://youtu.be/yidWdy-Xwdk
Probably how most on-demand tech supports do it. #Windows #troubleshoot
When you were 6, you probably wrote your own address, but despite the teacher’s wishes, added “Earth, Solar System, Milky Way, The Universe”
Well we’re now a few steps beyond that, and it seems every 20 years we add a new layer. (Interesting how old science fiction didn’t really know how to count “galaxies”).
c/o:
- Your street, suburb, state (or sub-national inviolable-yet-only-partly-sovereign voting body)
- Your nation
- Earth
- Solar System
- Milky Way
- Local Group (naming rights still open)
- Laniakea Supercluster
- Shapley Attractor zone

Correction: Billion-fps not trillion-fps.
I made a table of every high speed frame rate and the camera you’ll get it from
He is still firmly in the “experimental” category, in a geostationary orbit above all the “industrial” and even “specialist” categories — he can proudly say his is one of only two entries with a frame rate of too many digits to display (I’m not widening it — it’s a badge of honour)
I added Slow-Mo Guys who started out at 28,000fps
(Wow, I like my table … I built it after Gav & Dan mentioned that they chose 100fps for a reason, and I needed to endorse 100fps for high frame rates)
And … AlphaPhoenix makes an impressive debut at #2 in the league table 🥈 giving world champion, the MIT CUP Streak Camera, a bit of a fright by a guy, in a cave, with a box of scraps

About an hour ago, YouTuber AlphaPhoenix may have changed the history of cameras with his garage experiment. And reinvented lightspeed nanosecond #highspeed #slowmotion video technology to under 1% cost.
By mapping a rotating lens connected to an oscilloscope measuring laser reflections — over and over again — he’s kind of doing a reverse #Matrix “bullet time” to create a billion-frames-per-second image … he’s mapped the oscilloscope x-axis to the time dimension and synchronised it with a pulsing laser.
