i was looking up how we ended up calling connectors male and female

The Talmud describes arrow heads and mating shafts as potentially being either male or female, depending on their construction, i.e. a prong on a male arrow head fits into a hollowed out shaft and vice versa. This is owing to a prohibition on a female shaft, from its susceptibility as a receptacle for impurity, for use as s'chach.[4]

explaining the shitpost

@s0s0 Traingirl Era @rotopenguinROTOPE~1 :yell: @whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧
1: powerlock is a 5 cable three-phase connction system for high power applications, e.g. 3 phase 100 amps
it features mechanical interlocks to ensure that ground and neutral are connected before the phases

2: in grid applications, fuses are coupled so that if a single phase trips, the other two phases will trip as well. In higher voltage (e.g. 11kv) lines, this may be done e.g. with springs and explosive charges. if a fuse trips, that releases a spring, that hits a primer and fires some charges to cleanly separate the other two phases

Hi, I'm Ridley!

I think a lot about building healthier online communities. I'm interested in distributed computing, consent-focused design, privacy, and object capability programming.

I am currently working on a Dart-based implementation of ocapn.org which I hope will make it easier to create distributed and federated applications.

I am very grateful to have @nlnet sponsoring some of this work.

Tonight’s movie… Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Had the 3D Blu-ray so bit the bullet and risked all my fears coming true that keeping my old Optoma projector around would turn out to be a waste of time as I’d be so used to the quality of the new Sony I couldn’t bear to watch with the old one and have to upgrade that too at some point. I am super thrilled to report it’s still a great 3D projector and that fact has saved future me 2.5 grand.

SCALE 23x is happening this week!
We’re excited to be back at SCALE, one of the best places to connect with the people building and supporting open source in the real world.

This year, we’re looking forward to:
Meeting community members, from new to longtime FreeBSD users

Connecting with fellow open source organizations and exploring what’s ahead in 2026
If you’ll be at SCALE 23x, stop by booth #112 and say hello; we’d love to meet you.

I’m building a new tool and looking for volunteers to test it! A linktree. (UPDATE: hub.vocalcat.com )

It’s designed for two types of people:

Normies / newcomers – Think of it like a free, privacy-respecting Linktree. No trackers, no ads. But here's the cool part: it's a Trojan horse for the fediverse. Your profile link is itself an ActivityPub actor. That means people can interact with it directly in the fediverse, and it encourages exploration of open platforms.

Fediverse users, If you have multiple accounts (, , Loops, a federated blog…), you know the struggle: sometimes you just want one persona to follow. This tool gives you that. It doesn’t post on its own (read-only), but it boosts all your other accounts and even has its own inbox. PLUS it can receive and show your badges issued by @badgefedThe BadgeFed Project !

Interested in testing? Right now it only supports mastodon authentication, so if you have a mastodon account reach out in private mention for the invitation code.

1. The Supreme Court just handed down its 5th anti-trans decision in less than a year. It could lead to forced outing of trans youth across the country, with 40 cases pending that it may impact. It also forces CA teachers to misgender some trans students. Subscribe to support our journalism.

i've been trying to optimise some code for two hours now, entirely unsuccessfully. the naïve version generates a massive pile of movs and jmps, and i assumed i could do better. no matter what i did, i could only make the code slower. the few times i managed to make one benchmark 10% faster, the others became 50% slower.

finally, i received some very wise advice from my wife. this has helped me put things into a new perspective
