Can't be repeated enough:
"Elon Musk is not engaged in an “efficiency drive”. He is not trying to save money. He is trying to cripple the state and destroy the public sector, since oligarchs of his ilk think these are by nature a waste of money and that their functions should be privatized. Media should report it as such."

Elon Musk’s cuts fail to stop US federal spending hitting new record

Government spending rose to $603bn in February despite hyperactive efficiency drive, data shows

I think you give Elon too much credit. His motives aren't some broader organized movement by oligarchs to eliminate and privatize. His motives are self serving. He is seeking simply to eliminate the arms of the US government that were restraining his business pursuits or investigating him. It's individual and selfish. The rest of the oligarchs are happy to let him go and profit in his wake.

Linux Fu: Use The Source (Command), Luke

You can argue if bash is a good programming language or not, but you can’t argue that it is a programming language. However, there are a few oddities about it that make it different from most…

hmm, not really my usage pattern, I also want to save history per project, so I just use this that I wrote decades ago:

(I should probably remove the mentions about CVS someday (and rewrite it to spawn a sub-shell instead of taking over the existing one))

Dipped briefly into news over lunch, decided to go on a mosshog hunt instead. Good call I think.

#sillyScribbles #mosstodon #nonsense

A photo of a small dollop of moss on a wooden surface. The wood is blurred in both the fore and background, with the focus on the moss, and the strip of wood in front and behind it. I have slightly stretched the muddy side of the moss into a snout shape, and drawn eyes, nose and mouth on so it sort of looks like a mossy hedgehog. A mosshog, if you will.

Two X-Men whose names I don’t recall from a recent run are walking outside. As the person in the background looks admiringly at the person walking ahead of them in the foreground they listen as the person in front says, “Most of us just want to survive and maybe bite off a chunk of our dreams. But a few egomaniacs want everything for themselves. Forget mutants versus humans – – the real fight is everyone against the oligarchs.“

The last proper moth ID event I took part in was nearly exactly 10 years ago.

(we also had a moth box there, but this is the only picture I could find of the event)

A bunch of people are gathered around a white sheet that is hung up vertically in an area of a botanical garden and illuminated by a very bright light. Everyone is looking at whatever insects were attracted by the light, while a whole bunch of insects can be seen hovering above the sheet.

during and after WWII the USA gained a huge tech advantage by welcoming European scientists and engineers. Now Trump is offloading all US science and tech over to Europe and China. That should work out well for Europe, but probably not so good for the USA.

A screenshot of a tweet from MeidasTouch (@meidastouch.com) that reads: "It certainly appears that Republicans are bracing for a Trump-induced recession (h/t @atrupar.com)." Below the tweet, there are multiple images. The first image shows a CNN poll graphic displaying "TRUMP’S HANDLING OF THE ECONOMY" with results: 44% approve, 56% disapprove, and 1% no opinion. The second image shows a protest scene with signs, including one that says "HANDS OFF SOCIAL SECURITY & MEDICARE," along with a news chyron that reads, "Democrats get out of the way. Shut up." The third image features a live news broadcast with Peter Navarro stating, "We are in this difficult transition from Bidenomics to Trumponomics," with two news anchors visible on screen.

I've updated the ottopot website and build instructions with the PCB version and the new case.
I'm considering this the v1 release 🙌

The ottopot is a MIDI controller with 8 endless potentiometers sending 14bit CCs.

Special thanks to @Nervengift for the PCB contribution.

3 ottopots presented in different colors and a special case design featuring a hexagonal pattern.

This is the ottopot. It's a MIDI controller I made with nothing but 8 dials. However, the dials I made in the highest quality that I possibly could.

Some stuff from China arrived. Replacement decompression valve for Jonsered. And also the bolt that can just replace it.

And new o-rings for the fuel cap, so it can stop leaking my precious fuel everywhere. Too expensive to spill!

And a shiny new full chisel chain 🔪

Got a nice big table outside the garage now so I can do some work in the sun*.

#Chainsaw #Maintenance #Repair #Jonsered #Homestead #Logging #Firewood

* When available

A crusty old decompression valve that keeps getting stuck and lost its button cap. A shiny new replacement with blue button cap next to it. There's also a bolt with metal sealing washer to replace the decompression valve entirely. Also a bag of o-rings. The red handle of a Swedish chainsaw is partially visible on the edge of the photo.

Just in case like me you didn't know: You can get single SMD contacts like the one in the picture below on digikey under the "RFI and EMI - Contacts, Fingerstock and Gaskets" category, and on LCSC under the "Industrial control electrical / Antenna spring" category. I've looked for these more than once and haven't found them. Links:

#electronics

A product photo of a small SMD board-to-board spring style contact that can be soldered to a board, and contact a bare pad on another, parallel board above. The contact has a boxy shape, has a defined stamped contact point, a small leaf spring to provide pressure, and a folded box that serves as an end stop and protects the leaf spring from damage by overcompression. The contact is gold plated.

Necessity is the mother of invention. It's not until we run out of new training data that we'll invent models that learn better.

Not to mention that we relish the opportunity to take the identity back from the 5% of truckers who were upset that they couldn't go to the US because they weren't vaccinated. Their 15 minutes are up, and it's long overdue.

If I open an @OpenSCAD file that lives in a certain place I get this dialog that shows up and then I click "Allow" and it shows up again over and over until I have to quit OpenSCAD.

A dialog box: “OpenSCAD.app"” would like to access files in your Desktop folder. [Don't Allow] [Allow]

I rode the TGV once, and it was light years ahead of anything we have in the US now in 2025, I mean “like aliens dropped me in the future” light years ahead.

That was in 1993.

I was going to say that the Amtrak is not terrible - and I think the coaches are fine actually. But the food was terrible and we survived by bringing our own and eating in restaurants during the 30-60min stops along the way. 😅 And it is slow of course. The US not having high-speed rail is quite baffling.
