spent another 4 hours today working on tidying up and organising the lab. cleared out and reorganised my large shelving. moved my hexlights onto the shelves. labelled a lot of drawers. made some major progress emptying out boxes full of cables - mostly IEC, DMX, and DB-25 (ILDA).

it turns out I have so many BS1363 to IEC C13 cables that they fill up an entire drawer by themselves, with the C14-to-C13 and other power cables moved to a different drawer.

I now have space to open every single drawer which is definitely a novelty.

I also now need an entire fistful of ibuprofen.

bribe coding (you pay me money and I write code)

@mei *smacking a MOSFET into my palm like a crowbar*

@riley @ryanc no HTML, it's Tusky.

@xabean @riley @ryanc it's frustrating that these features aren't default.

after working on that bulletproof DMX ArtNet bridge where you can feed it 60V continuously on any pin without it caring at all, I keep thinking that it'd be cool to develop similarly abuse-proof IC breakout boards for the education market. fully isolated IOs, all pins tolerant of continuous DC up to at least ±24V, robust clamping and ESD protection, easily replaceable connectors.

@ryanc huh, odd. just shows "10460" here. this seems like a suboptimal failure mode...

@ryanc I assume you mean 10^460?

@GossiTheDog please CW any spoilers if you'll be posting about it! I can't watch it for the first couple of weeks (my wife has uni stuff on) and really don't wanna have the experience ruined. S1 was so damn good.

@ryanc with a jigsaw you can only cut from an edge or from a drilled hole. with an oscillating tool you can just cut straight in and get sharp right angles. the jigsaw can do curves more easily.

@ryanc you really want something like an oscillating multi tool for that. doing it with a dremel will be very tedious.

@soatok and an 80% chance that they're either autistic, ADHD, or AuDHD.

"USB PD contains ASN.1" is one of those facts where I was really glad to already have a beer in my hand when I learned it

self-OH: "itar what you did there"

just saw the best sponsor segue ever on a youtube video. "and speaking of leaking highly classified military information, today's video is sponsored by Warthunder"

a computer can never be held accountable because it is made of metal, whereas humans are made of skin

therefore a computer must never write a self help book

(yes I am finally watching Severance)

@feld I don't think we've ever interacted before but somehow my private note field on your account says "crypto guy 🙄" which I think is extremely funny
