Hey Canadians - remember that USA military professionals are professionally desensitized to atrocities

it's a LOT easier to ☮️ convince a bear the meal is inconvenient, than to claw back at something that survives by claw.
Now is a good time to reduce exposure - everything from financially divesting from the USA and USD instruments, to cycling in emergency water and food. It makes us less convenient.

I'm debugging the ROM emulation on the Firestarter. It looks as if the code to monitor ROM enable and ROM selection is working but the host crashes once it starts accessing the ROM.
The first access of the ROM is when BASIC calls KL_INIT_BACK to initialise background ROMs.
The first read is the LD A,(&C000). A few cycles later the ROM's init routine at &C006 will be called.

“What I said to [Marco Rubio] is Canada’s sovereignty is not up to debate, period. There’s no argument, there’s no conversation about it, there’s no need to talk about it. You’re here, you respect us, you respect our sovereignty, you’re in our country, you respect our people. Period.”

Called it. Wrote this back in Sept. 2024, about a clever Windows Powershell phishing scam that was targeting developers at the time. It uses a fake CAPTCHA that asks visitors to distinguish themselves from bots by pressing a combination of keyboard keys that causes Microsoft Windows to download password-stealing malware. Everyone said, bah, devs will never fall for this. Maybe, I said, but your average user would for sure.
Judging from the number of recent media reports, it appears this one is pretty widespread at the moment.

Maybe you would, but I would not.
$ curl -fsSL https://example.com/install.sh | sh
might be acceptable to some users as it only effects the user's profile. Though I am going to do a
$ wget https://example.com/install.sh
$ vim install.sh
Examine the script to determine if it is malicious or flawed and then invoke it only if I find it acceptable. This is pretty standard among experienced users.
Decades ago someone might have been trusting enough to curl and invoke a script without examining it from unknown sources though that is not an acceptable practice today. Though some sites may still offer this as an install method. Most experienced users, especially devs, are going to examine the script before they run it on their system. The more paranoid are going to check it out first in a sandbox before installing it to a live system. I have a VM especially for this type of testing.
And they probably do not know how to open a terminal to use the command either. Though, as I stated, I was referring to experienced users. Newbies on any system are bound to get themselves into trouble. That is a given.

But if you need relative irradiance data or can cope with about 10% variation from absolute then this DIY sensor will work out of the box!
If you can calibrate it then it can be even better.
