🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇What’s_underneath_a_great_digital_commerce_solution?⦈_
Here they go again…

Hyping up “AI” for Microsoft et al under the guise of ‘study’, by paying for
puff pieces about the ‘study’
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_science_behind_AI-first_transformations⦈_
More “HEY HI” chaff
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇Grooming_cybersecurity_sleuths_with_university_education⦈_
100% of the ‘articles’ for that day are just paid-for spam… about “grooming“???
8 pieces on that one day (more than what’s shown here) were all sponsored.
Their RSS feed too became marketing. The “sponsored” stuff isn’t being
separated.
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Protecting_digital_classes⦈_
Lobbying for Microsoft in schools? Or “grooming” officials?
Summary: The above is obviously not reporting; it’s just the latest example of
MIT Technology Review turning from a reputable publisher into a “space for
hire” presstitute of Microsoft and its proxies

o § New Releases⠀➾
# ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ EasyOS_Kirkstone-series_version_5.2.2
released⠀⇛
Easy 5.2.1 was released on April 4:
Eleven days later, we have 5.2.2. The big news is
the Flatpak Installer, nicknamed “Flapi”.
o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾
# ⚓ Arduino ☛ Is_it_too_loud?_This_Arduino_device_will_do_the
shushing_for_you⠀⇛
Whether it is a library, conference room, school
classroom, or some other public space, we all
require peace and quiet to work sometimes, but
achieving it can be a challenge.
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Kicad_Autorouting_Made_Easy⠀⇛
One of the most laborious tasks in PCB layout is
the routing. Autorouting isn’t always perfect, but
it is nice to have the option, even if you only use
it to get started and then hand-tune the resulting
board. Unfortunately, recent versions of Kicad have
dropped support for autorouting. You can, however,
still use Freerouting and the video from [Mr. T]
below shows you how to get started.
* § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾
o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾
# ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ curl_speaks_HTTP/2_with_proxy⠀⇛
This version of HTTP changed a lot of previous
presumptions when it comes to transfers, which
introduced quite a few challenges to HTTP stack
authors all of the world. One of them being that
with version 2 there can be more than one transfer
using the same connection where as up to that point
we had always just had one transfer per connection.
# § Chromium⠀➾
# ⚓ Security Week ☛ Google_Warns_of_New_Chrome_Zero-Day
Attack⠀⇛
The high-severity vulnerability, tracked as
CVE-2023-2033, is described as a type
confusion in the Chrome V8 JavaScript engine.
“Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-
2023-2033 exists in the wild,” the company
said in a barebones advisory that credits
Clément Lecigne of Google’s Threat Analysis
Group for reporting the issue.
o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾
# ⚓ [Old] Peter Eisentraut ☛ How_collation_works⠀⇛
In this blog post, and probably one or more
following ones, I want to discuss how collations in
PostgreSQL work internally. See also this previous
post about the work we have done for collations in
PostgreSQL 15. And there is even more coming
together in PostgreSQL 16 right now, which we will
talk about in the future.
# ⚓ SQL_Maxis:_Why_We_Ditched_RabbitMQ_And_Replaced_It_With_A
Postgres_Queue⠀⇛
We recently ripped out RabbitMQ from our system and
replaced it with a queue built on top of our
Postgres db and written in SQL. The change took
half a day to implement + test, and had a net delta
of -580 LOC. Much more importantly, it drastically
improved the reliability and resiliency of our
system. This is a writeup of that change, the
rationale behind it, and how we did it.
Note: this is not an indictment against RabbitMQ or
other queuing systems. It’s quite possible (likely,
really) that we were holding it wrong. If anything,
it’s a push to keep things simple. And, of course,
a very biased reminder that SQL is unbelievably
powerful. In fact, it often really is all you need.
Do we dream of a world where everything is SQL?
Maybe.
# ⚓ PlanetScale ☛ How_does_database_sharding_work?⠀⇛
If you’ve used Google or YouTube, you’ve probably
accessed sharded data. Sharding helps you scale out
your database by storing partitions of your data
across multiple servers instead of putting
everything on a single giant one. This post will
walk through how database sharding works, how to
think about implementing your own sharded database,

# ⚓ Peter Eisentraut ☛ How_collation_of_punctuation_and

First, let’s think about what we might like to
happen. Maybe we want to treat punctuation and
whitespace characters just like other characters.
They sort in some relative location, and that’s it.
Or maybe we want to mostly ignore these characters
for sorting. Both of these are valid choices, and
where people get upset is mainly when they expected
one and get the other. In fact, Unicode allows both
of these choices (and more!), and the
implementation has to pick one or make users select
one. (To keep it simple, I’ll just write “Unicode”
in this article to mean one of the various
standards that affect collation of Unicode
characters. See the previous article for details.)

Perhaps I’m getting a bit too old and loose lipped
for my own good, but the truth is that creating

Contrary to the opinions of non-practitioners (aka
non-coders), this difficulty is not the fault of
coding languages, tools and paradigms. It is
actually the result of clients and developers not
taking the time to understand the root causes of
the problems they want to solve and not designing a
solution around the conclusions you’d draw from
that process.

The premise seems to be that, since undefined

behaviour is also bad. While it’s true that
undefined behaviour can cause huge problems, and
that this has been a sore point with C for some
time, the complaint here is fallacious: the whole
point of this particular annotation is to allow the
programmer to specify their intent that a certain
path be unreachable, as opposed to the more
problematic scenario where a compiler determines
code is unreachable because a necessarily-preceding
(“dominating”) instruction would necessarily have
undefined behaviour. In other words it better
allows the compiler to distinguish between cases
where the programmer has made particular
assumptions versus when they have unwittingly
invoked undefined behaviour in certain conditions.
This is spelled out in the proposal for the

# ⚓ Waleed Khan ☛ Quickly_formatting_a_stack_of_commits⠀⇛
A certain category of developer uses Git with a
“patch stack” workflow, in which they accumulate a
sequence of small, individually-reviewable commits
that together implement a large change. In these
cases, it’s oftentimes useful to run linters or
formatters on each commit in the stack and apply
the results. However, this can be tedious, and a
naive approach can cause needless merge conflicts.
(One workaround is to run formatters on each commit
in the stack backwards.)
git-branchless’s git test command offers a solution
to quickly run formatters, etc., on an entire stack
of commits without causing merge conflicts.
Additionally, it can be performed in parallel, and
it caches results so that reformats of the same
commits are skipped. You can see the announcement
post or the documentation for git test.

A lot of what real engineering is all about is designing
to the limits of your materials, with a healthy margin
for error. On the other hand, seat-of-the-pants
engineering often takes the opposite tack — working with

to anything where life and limb are on the line, there’s
something to be said for the flexibility that informal
engineering offers.

There are a lot of situations where a research group may

devices. But if your research involves the electron
microscope itself, you might be a little more reluctant
to tear down these expensive devices to take a look
behind the curtain as the costs to do this for more than
a few could quickly get out of hand. That’s why this

The universe is so capricious that even the

through Hubble Space Telescope images and noticed a
suspected blemish that looked like a scratch on
photographic film. For Hubble’s electronic cameras,
cosmic rays skimming along the detector look like
“scratches.” But once spectroscopy was done on the
oddball streak van Dokkum realized it was really a
200,000-light-year-long chain of young blue stars
located over halfway across the universe! van
Dokkum and his colleagues believe that it stretches

form stars. Nothing like it has ever been seen

I’ve written many times before about how
antivaccine beliefs are rooted in what I like to
call the central conspiracy theory of the
antivaccine movement, which should not surprise
anyone given that, when you boil any form of
science denial down to its essence, all science
denial is a conspiracy theory. In the case of
antivaxxers, that conspiracy theory goes something
like this. Vaccines are harmful/don’t work, but
“They” (the CDC, medical profession, government,
pharma, insurance companies, etc.) are hiding The
Truth—with a capital T!—from you. However,
antivaxxers are among the enlightened few who know
The Truth—with a capital T!—and, as a result, have
become brave maverick warriors for The Truth—with a
capital T!—against the nefarious forces arrayed to
defend the conspiracy. Once you understand this
central premise, the antivaccine movement becomes a
lot easier to understand as a movement; in brief,
the antivaccine movement is really no different
than QAnon, which, unsurprisingly, features a
similar conspiracy theory, only about the evil
elites. Understanding this central premise will
lead you to understand as well articles like one by
Alex Berenson (a.k.a. “the pandemic’s wrongest

metal sign on the wall states that the office has
walk-in hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to

on it has a contradictory message: “The Office of
the Public Advocate is operating on a hybrid
schedule and is only receiving constituents with an
appointment.” Visitors are instructed to send an
email or call a number if they want assistance.
The sign on the door is not a holdover from some
earlier stage of the coronavirus pandemic. It
reflects the ongoing practice of the office, a 55-
person agency with a budget just under $5 million
that serves as a sort of ombudsman for residents
seeking assistance with city services or

first elected to the office in 2019, has decided
for the foreseeable future to require employees to
work in-person only two days per week, and the

“We’ve been calling on the city to adopt hybrid
models where possible, to do remote work for health
purposes and because that’s the way of the

Your phone is designed to communicate safely with
lots of things – chargers , web sites, Bluetooth
devices such as earbuds or speakers, Wi-Fi, and
even other phones, for instance when sending and
receiving text messages. If doing any of these
normal phone things can give your phone malware,
that is a security vulnerability (which is a type

Security vulnerabilities happen with some
frequency. That is why your phone prompts you to
update your software so often – the makers of its

So, when you hear a report that public chargers are
giving people malware, you should ask “what is the
vulnerability being used, and when will it be
fixed?” as well as “how widespread is the problem?
How many people are affected?” Unfortunately, the
periodic reports of “juice jacking” never have such

documentation of consent from everyone who
appears in the videos. Its verification
practices began in 2021, after Mastercard
announced that it would require “clear,
unambiguous and documented consent” for all

purge of millions of unverified videos in

Discover stopped processing payments to the

from lawmakers and discrimination from
financial institutions when it comes to
identity and verification that other
mainstream platforms such as Meta’s Instagram

EU regulators, led by Ireland’s Data

have been finalising a ban on the legal tool

According to the text, the EU-U.S. Data
Privacy Framework is an improvement on

bulk data collection subject to independent
prior authorisation, and does not provide for
clear rules on data retention.
MEPs note that the Data Privacy Framework
creates a Data Protection Review Court
(“DPRC”) aimed at providing redress to EU
data subjects, but its decisions would be
secret, violating citizens’ right to access
and rectify data about them. Moreover, DPRC
judges could be dismissed by the U.S.
President, who could also overrule its

Donald Trump’s most recent Mar-a-Lago rant, the one
following his first indictment on April 4, was
mostly the same old stuff, delivered off a
teleprompter with his usual listless monotone—as if
by now his shtick bores even him. But one seemingly
off-handed comment passed largely unnoticed, and
the few who picked up on it largely laughed it off.
o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾
# ⚓ The Washington Times ☛ Standing_up_to_schoolyard_bullies:

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines is going to sue
and demand consequences for activists who assaulted
her at San Francisco State University, where she
discussed the impact of men competing in women’s
athletic events. It should start a trend.
Whether it’s any judge appointed by former
President Donald Trump, former Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice, commentators such as Matt Walsh
and Ben Shapiro, or an NCAA swimmer who had her
title stolen by a man, disrupting conservative and
Republican-aligned speakers on college campuses has
become as common as happy hour at the local dive.
# ⚓ WSWS ☛ American_Library_Association_registers_a_near

Ignorance goes hand in hand with social reaction.
Moms for Liberty, as noted, is a far-right
organization, with ties to fascist elements in and
around the Republican Party. Considering those
political surroundings, its claim to be concerned
with an accurate depiction of the Holocaust needs
to be taken with a very large grain of salt. The
outfit has particularly close ties to the
administration of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Media Matters for America has correctly pointed out
that Moms for Liberty uses “parental rights” as a
cover for harassing public schools and libraries.
They are opposed to “indoctrinating”
children—except with chauvinism, militarism, anti-
communism and religious bigotry.

# ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘A_cry_of_shame_and_despair’_How_a_dissident
couple_who_protested_the_war_with_graffiti_split_up_when
tried_by_a_Russian_court⠀⇛
The Russian artist Lyudmila Razumova and her
husband Alexander Martynov shared a love of nature
and outdoors, a free-spirit lifestyle, and liberal
convictions. When Russia invaded Ukraine, the
couple traveled from Tver region to Moscow to take
part in mass protests. When they saw the police
decimating the small crowd of courageous people who
had come out to protest the war, Alexander and
Lyudmila were disheartened. On their return home,
they began to come out at night to spray protest
graffiti around their small town and the nearby
villages. Within a month, they were arrested and
charged with vandalism, and later with spreading
disinformation under the new Russian law against
“fakes” about the Russian military. Unexpectedly,
the pressures of confinement and the court trial
drove a wedge between the couple who had planned to
spend the rest of their lives together. The Russian
outlet Verstka published the story of two activists
who loved one another but parted ways while a
Russian court tried them for having an opinion.
Meduza in English has translated it.

recently banned drag queen shows but, after the
Covenant Baptist School shooting, expelled two
Black legislators for protesting gun violence with

It’s been more than two weeks since Wall Street
Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was detained by
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) on
espionage charges. According to Bloomberg, the
arrest was personally approved by Vladimir Putin.
The U.S. government, numerous major international
media outlets, and hundreds of independent
journalists have demanded Gershkovich’s release.
The day after his arrest, Meduza asked readers to
write letters to Evan, and in the days that
followed, we received more than 350. We’re grateful
to everyone who took the time to let Evan know he
hasn’t been forgotten, and we’ll send the letters

Causing_Havoc_Across_America⠀⇛
The bombs weren’t real. But, crucially, neither was
the man’s voice. The panicked man’s lines sound
artificially generated, according to recordings of
the swatting calls reviewed by Motherboard. It is
unclear how exactly the caller generated the voice,
be that some form of artificial intelligence tool
or another speech synthesis program. The result,
though, is a voice that sounds very consistent
across multiple calls.
In fact, Motherboard has found, this synthesized
call and another against Hempstead High School were
just one small part of a months-long, nationwide
campaign of dozens, and potentially hundreds, of
threats made by one swatter in particular who has
weaponized computer generated voices. Known as
“Torswats” on the messaging app Telegram, the
swatter has been calling in bomb and mass shooting
threats against highschools and other locations
across the country. Torswat’s connection to these
wide ranging swatting incidents has not been
previously reported. The further automation of
swatting techniques threatens to make an already
dangerous harassment technique more prevalent.

organizations’ reporting on the city’s policing.
o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾
# ⚓ [Old] uni Michigan ☛ Digital_Copyright⠀⇛
Technology now permits copyright owners of works in
digital format to monitor and meter the consumption
of their works. The ubiquity of digital technology
in the information and entertainment industries and
the rapid penetration of the Internet into
Americans’ lives have enabled the dissemination of
an increasing amount of information on a pay-per-
view basis. In the current milieu, the policy
arguments over the rationale for copyright owners’
imperfect control have taken on immense practical
significance. If the reason that authors’ and their
publishers’ control over uses of their works has
been narrowly confined is to enable consumers and
future authors to make the broadest possible use of
protected creations that is consistent with the
copyright system’s encouragement of authorship,
then digital technology changes very little. The
fact that technology enables copyright owners to
exercise more complete control is no reason to
modify the copyright law to facilitate it. If, in
contrast, the goal of copyright law is to place all
feasible control over works of authorship firmly in
the hands of copyright owners, new digital
technology offers us the opportunity for the first
time to come very close to perfecting the system.
# ⚓ Techdirt ☛ 28_State_AGs_Urge_Congress_To_Pass_Stalled
‘Right_To_Repair’_Bills⠀⇛
In just the last five years, the “right to repair”
movement has shifted from nerdy niche to the
mainstream, thanks in part to significant support
from the Biden FTC. We’ve seen numerous state bills
make significant inroads in passing laws opening
the door to undermining repair monopolies, even
though industry lobbying has, at times, neutered
the proposals in a bid to make them useless (see:
Kathy Hochul in New York State).
o § Monopolies⠀➾
# ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Is_antitrust_anti-labor?⠀⇛
Trusts were an incredibly successful business
structure. A bunch of competing companies would be
sold to a new holding company (“the trust”), and
the owners of those old standalone companies would
get stock in this new trust. The trust would
operate as a single entity, hiking prices and
suppressing wages. If anyone tried fight the trust
with a new, independent company, the trust could
freeze them out, by selling goods below cost, or by
doing exclusive deals with key suppliers and
customers, or both. Once a trust sewed up an
industry, no one could compete. The trust barons
were rulers for life.

# § Patents⠀➾
# ⚓ Daniel Pocock ☛ World.IP.Day_&_WIPO_bribery_and
corruption⠀⇛
The case was processed by the ADR Forum
rather than WIPO. When the ADR Forum notified
us of the case, they informed us that the
panelist would be a lawyer associated with
IBM. In fact, the lawyer in question had a
leading role in the Federation Against
Software Theft (FAST), a lobby group funded
by IBM. A fellow director of FAST is another
lawyer who spent 35 years working for IBM.
IBM is the owner of Red Hat, therefore, the
proposed panelist would clearly have a
conflict of interest. When this was pointed
out, the lawyer in question immediately
resigned from the process and ADR Forum
appointed another lawyer to replace them.
Nonetheless, conflicts of interest like this
are usually not so easy to detect. We don’t
know if Matthew Kennedy, Clive Duncan Thorne
or Oleksiy Stolyarenko have ever worked on
legal projects for any of the companies who
give money to Debian. Nonetheless, there are
enough companies giving money to Debian that
there is a high probability that at least one
of the lawyers has done work for one of those
companies. In fact, in almost 30 years of
Debian, there has never been any attempt to
give a transparent report about which
companies are funding the project with cash
or employee time. This is the reality of many
non-profit organizations: the non-profit
status is simply an illusion to obfuscate the
identity of the organizations who control the
revenue.

One month ago, South Korean movie and TV show
piracy platform Noonoo TV was riding the

hadn’t fulfilled a shift in 3 weeks when he finally
wrote a long, meandering text to Mike saying he was

If you’re old enough to remember After Dark, you
might appreciate this: a new screensaver. Yes, in
2023. It was never really about saving screens.
Screensavers are a simple tech for a bygone era.
Now, of course, most of us just let our flatscreens
go to sleep after a period of inactivity. But back
when CRT hummed to CRT like mastodons bellowing
across primeval swamps, they didn’t have a sleep
mode, and you needed something to prevent the
unchanging parts of your screen display “burning
in,” where a faint ghost of the image is
permanently visible, rendering a display either
unpleasant or impossible to use. Don’t knock it –
burn-in can still affect flatscreens today.
If you did like screensavers, you can still have
one. The sage of Netscape himself, Jamie Zawinski,
or jwz as he’s often known online, still maintains
XScreensaver after 31 years.

# ⚓ Linux Journal ☛ Mastering_the_journalctl_Command:_A
Comprehensive_Guide⠀⇛
System logs are a vital resource for administrators
and developers looking to monitor system
performance, troubleshoot issues, and understand
the events taking place within the system. On this
article, we learn about how on Linux systems, the
journalctl command provides an effective way to
access and manage these logs.
§ Introduction to the journalctl Command
The journalctl command is a utility that allows
users to view and interact with systemd journal
logs. These logs include information from various
sources, such as the kernel, initrd, system
services, applications, and systemd itself. The
logs are stored in a binary format and can be
queried efficiently using journalctl.
The basic syntax of the journalctl command is as
follows:
journalctl [options…] [matches…]
§ Viewing and Filtering Logs with journalctl
The most straightforward way to use journalctl is
without any options. This will display all logged
entries in chronological order:
$ journalctl
However, the output can be overwhelming, especially
on systems with a long runtime. To make navigation
easier, the output is automatically paginated using
the less command. Use the Enter key to scroll line
by line, or the Space key to scroll page by page.
To exit the log output, press q on your keyboard.

week_2023/15⠀⇛
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week we have seen quite a low number of submit
requests coming to Tumbleweed, which resulted in
the snapshots being built and tested rather quickly
and us thus managing to release 8 snapshots in the
day (usually the Thursday snapshot is only
published later on Friday evening, this week it was
all built and tested before lunch). So the 8
snapshots are not something really special. The
versioning for snapshots limits us to one snapshot
per day after all (and I doubt anybody would ask
for more than that).
The snapshots covered in this review are 0406…0413
and contain these changes:
# Apache 2.4.57
# mutter 44.0 git snapshot (44 commits after
44.0: avoid some crashes on gnome-shell)

* ⚓ Neowin ☛ Ubuntu_Livepatch_for_HWE_Linux_kernels_coming_soon⠀⇛
Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, has announced that
Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernels will receive updates via the
Livepatch service, just like Long-Term Release (LTS) kernels.
The first kernel to gain support will be Linux 6.2 which will
ship with Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster next week before being
made available as an HWE kernel in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS in July.
For those not familiar with Livepatch, it’s a service available
to customers with an Ubuntu Pro subscription. If you don’t have
a subscription it can be enabled on five of your personal
machines. With this enabled, you are able to get the latest
kernel updates installed on your computer without having to
reboot. Linux kernel updates are one of the very few packages
that typically require a restart in Ubuntu but with Livepatch
there’s no need to restart.
* ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Canonical_Bringing_Livepatch_Support_to_HWE_Kernels⠀⇛
As spotted by our friends at Neowin, Canonical announced
Livepatch support for Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernels
starting this summer. The first HWE kernel being covered as
part of this support extension is Linux 6.2, which will be
backported from the Ubuntu 23.04 release and pushed out to
users of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
Livepatch is a feature only available on long-term support
(LTS) versions of Ubuntu for users with an active Ubuntu Pro
subscription. When enabled, Livepatch allows users to install
kernel updates (on eligible machines) without needing to reboot
after.
Extending the number of kernels covered by the feature is an
important move, albeit one aimed at enterprise, server, and
business customers. While being asked to reboot to finish
applying kernel updates is common, it’s not something Ubuntu
desktop users typically mind.

I’m terrified to start gardening. I want to, but I have
this terrible neurosis about doing things wrong, or
poorly. It leads into spirals of self loathing that can
be difficult to break out of. There’s SO MUCH to know
about growing things, so much conflicting advice, so many
ways to fail. It’s the information overload problem, and
the existence of the blasted internet is not helping one
bit.
And the deer, of course. They’re like a plague of giant

Maybe the scheme would make more sense if there were a

that a directory-or-subhostname would appear in that
filesystem, but last I looked the Andrew File System
(AFS), while neat in various ways, hasn’t really gone
anywhere, and was requiring slightly insecure DES keys in
Kerberos that I dearly wanted to get rid of, the last
time I had to indirectly support AFS. Also, there are
portability problems that probably stem from the lack of
popularity thing.

You’ve noticed search getting less useful, but it’s hard

opinions online, and who knows how long it’ll be before
that’s gone as well. Your days in front of the screen

Over the years, our enterprise data centre users
have told us how much they love the end to end
experience of an application-centric solution like
Juju to manage their entire infrastructure. Juju
is a software operator framework that abstracts the
specifics of operating complex software and makes
it simple and straightforward to deploy, operate
and relate complimentary pieces of software,
reducing cost and providing flexibility. Charmed
Ceph uses Juju to manage the entire lifecycle of
deployment, configuration, and operations of a Ceph
cluster.
But, what if the use case is different? Maybe all
that is required is simple and repeatable Ceph
storage deployments.

# ⚓ SparkFun Electronics ☛ Finding_Balance_and_the_Road_Ahead⠀⇛
It’s hard to believe that SparkFun turned twenty
this year. It’s even harder to believe that I’ve
been part of this ride for six of those years.
If you have grown up with SparkFun you know our
story. For those not familiar with it, SparkFun was
started by a college student (Nathan Seidle) in his
dorm room – completely bootstrapped – and it all
started because he fried an electronic component
and had a bit of a challenge getting a replacement.
College courses are fine (text books, lectures,
etc.), but Nate had this itch to get his hands
dirty on the tech he was learning about in class.
Here is a great read from Nate on how it all got
started when we hit our 15-year anniversary.

# ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ How_to_build_your_own_Raspberry_Pi_watch⠀⇛

battery connector on the main board was an unusual

their batteries directly the contacts on the board
rather than try and source the odd connector.
# ⚓ Arduino ☛ Building_an_experimental_magnetic_loop_antenna

TekMakerUK was inspired by Kevin Loughin’s YouTube

experimental version capable of 5W transmissions,
which he could tune via an Android phone. The
variable capacitor is from an old valve radio and
has a central shaft that rotates to adjust the
distance between the dielectric plates. In order to
turn the coupling, a 5V stepper motor was added to
the base along with a ULN2003 stepper motor driver.
The driver was then connected to an Arduino Uno,
although the board was replaced by a Nano Every for
soldered connections.

o ⚓ OpenSource.com ☛ Edit_your_photos_with_open_source_artificial
intelligence⠀⇛
I’ve been interested in photography ever since I co-opted
my father’s Kodak 620 camera as a young boy. I used it to
take pictures of the flora and fauna of our neighborhood.
My love of photography led me to an Instamatic camera in
high school, and eventually to digital cameras as they
entered the marketplace in the late 1990s. Early digital
cameras provided portability and the ability to quickly
capture and easily share images on the internet. But they
lacked the quality and complexity of the best of film
photography. Of course digital cameras have improved a
lot since then. But I have years of digital photographs
that just look a little, well, little on modern devices.
Until recently, my go-to tool for upscaling digital
images has been GIMP. A couple of years ago, I tried to
use GIMP to upscale a thumbnail image of my father that
was taken in the mid-1940s. It worked, but the photo
lacked the detail, depth, and clarity that I wanted.
That’s all changed since I learned about Upscayl, a free
and open source program that uses open source artificial
intelligence to upscale low-resolution images.

Windows, Mac, or Linux.
The Mullvad browser’s main goal is to make it harder for

browser’s “fingerprint,” a term that describes all the
metadata that sites can collect to uniquely identify your
device. Your fingerprint can be made up of simple things,
like what browser and operating system you’re using, to
more invasive info, like what fonts and extensions you
have installed, and what input / output devices your
browser has access to.

occupation of the Zaporizhzhia region.” That refers to one of

The recent controversy at the Court of Appeals for the

attention. The Court has now confirmed the rumors about

appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit (CAFC) from the Trademark Trial and Appeal
Board’s (TTAB’s) finding that SPARK LIVING is likely to
be confused with an earlier-registered mark, SPARK. The
precedential decision was authored by Judge Reyna. Both
marks cover real estate services, but Charger amended its
application to specify residential real estate services,
whereas the earlier mark specified services related to
commercial real estate property. Charger also disclaimed
the term “LIVING” in response to the examiner’s request.
However, the examiner ultimately issued a final office
action refusing the application on the grounds that “a
comparison of the respective marks show[s] that they are
comprised either in whole or significant part of the term
‘SPARK,’”…and both marks are for real estate services,
with ‘overlapping identifications of leasing and rental
management services.’”

# ⚓ Spring⠀⇛
Spring has officially arrived in the American
Midwest, with all the budding flowers,
thunderstorms, picnic days, and hay fevers that
mark the season.
When I was a child, my favorite season of the year
was autumn. Autumn meant the start of the school
year, which I greatly enjoyed. The season was
packed with celebrations, from Labor Day to
Veteran’s Day, including many religious feast days
observed by the Catholic school I attended. The
excitement of the Christmas season was close at
hand, and in the meantime, holidays like Halloween
and Thanksgiving satiated my appetite for rich
roasts and cheap candy.

Written in a kitchen of a scout hut in Sliema.
Day 6 was spent mostly exploring again. I headed up
to Ghadira Bay. It is a vast sweeping bay with some

walking along the beach, fighting building works
and enjoying ice cream in Mellieha. A nice relaxing
day to.be honest. Ate.aome dodgy plastic cheese
stuff for lunch. I ended up.meeting with my friend
for dinner. He picked me up but ended up with a
ticket thanks to some mad signage which few woukd
get right. We went off to Bharija to eat at a

my desk, and it
picks up RF from the ham radios in here. My desktop

might express myself
here.

revisited the topic.
