pov: you wake up to receive a package with a vacuum chamber and discover that the vendor is a crackhead and a menace to society

this is a vacuum chamber. the power supply that comes with it has a type-C connector and it puts 12V on Vbus unconditionally. the pump works off both 5V and 12V, so it can pull vacuum off a normal type-C power supply. but the solenoid release valve (that lets you open the chamber once you're done) requires their illegal type-C-shaped power supply. also, not only does the chamber not support PD negotiation, it does not even have a CC pulldown.

to add insult to injury, it's using a NEMA 1-15P plug.

“It's really common for people to look up private information, get parents' phone numbers and start calling and harassing the parents, things like that. I've been able to keep my family safe from that kind of thing for years.” 404media.co/grok-doxing-real-n

This should go to my roadmap page perhaps but I’m keeping it here as a note just to remember :

ActivityPub

  • Improve Quotes display on my AP reader
  • Improve image rendering
  • Improve Quick Reply (replies that are not stored in this blog database and instead only exist as AP replies) feature so that it shows the actual post, not the JSON representation of my quick reply
  • Improve CSS of the AP reader, links are hard to read (blue on grey)
  • Fixed hashtags

Conversation aka Brid.gy like

  • rebuild reply context to posts so that my replies to other users replies also show up in the right order in the reply thread

Eleventy

  • Find a way to render #hashtags in posts, link them to my categories

for a long time, I held the opinion that Gnome 3 was a shitty reimplementation of Mac OS.

I apologize for how wrong I was.

Gnome 3 is a better reimplementation of Mac OS.

I still don't like using either one

The Windows 95 user interface: a case study in usability engineering

If this isn't catnip to the average OSNews reader, I don't know what is.

Windows 95 is a comprehensive upgrade to the Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 products. Many changes have been made in almost every area of Windows, with the user interface being no exception. This paper discusses

SEEKING $3000 USD A/V HARDWARE FOR COMMUNITY EVENTS

(many clients only show the first few lines, so there you go)

Yes we might all die but I for one will die doing this and rapidly provisioning systems with a few shell scripts. More on that soon.

END OF/START OF MONTH SOFT LAUNCH LET'S DO THIS... The @bsdcan fundraising is going well and tentatively will allow me to sleep this next few months. Thank you everyone who has contributed! We're discussing optional items like travel grants and please keep it coming! That said, @bsdtv and I made GREAT progress building out A/V packages and are down to a last camera and lenses to round out a third track worth of equipment. The streaming gear is in-hand and a fourth track/spare is not yet a priority. If you want to help out, we are looking for around $3,000 USD and ask you to contribute through https://bsdfund.org This is NOT a 501(c)(3) avenue but businesses can write off their contribution as marketing and your accountant can advise from there. Thank you! 🤎​
