Now you can drive safely high voltage loads up to 3500W (230VAC/16A) with any microcontroller, Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi. PWR-SWITCH is CE certified, 1500V optoisolated switch working with voltages from 3 up to 24VDC. https://olimex.wordpress.com/2020/07/10/pwr-switch-is-optically-isolated-eu-style-power-load-switch-for-up-to-3500w-230vac-16a-and-can-be-driven-with-any-microcontroller-arduino-eps32-or-linux-computers-directly-with-3-24v/ #esp32 #arduino #raspberrypi #iot

Postcards from Saturn

people say "gender is a spectrum" but then they think of it like a point along a gradient, or like a HSL value in a color wheel

i would like to posit that if gender is, in fact, a spectrum, then individual genders are not single points or even contiguous blobs but rather are more like this

imagine explaining the housing crisis to someone who didnt live during capitalism

me: there are hundreds of thousands of people who sleep without shelter in cities every night

guy from 1000AD: that sounds bad. is there not enough construction material?

me: no theres actually a surplus of houses but a few people own most of them and refuse to rent or sell them at affordable prices for 99% of the population because they think the houses will be worth more money in a few years

guy from 1000AD:

Fedi - I could use some help.

Recently I have been playing a bit of a digital archeologist and exploring websites of late 90s/early 2000s.

I have grown up in Poland, and we had a few internet focused magazines, that would include copies of websites on a CD. I bet other countries had similar publications.

This is where I need help. What magazines from your country included offline versions of websites? English preferred, but I am happy to explore any language. Boosts greatly appreciated!

Someone said "is that still a thing?" when I announced I was on Mastodon. Is it?
Boost this so we actually get a few votes maybe? How far can it go?

w00t! It took more than 20 months of work, sweat and tears, but more than 6,000,000 @wikipedia@twitter.com articles are now entirely available offline!

yknow what’s wild?

the dissonance between the messaging i got from local gov around covid and the messaging i get internally from my coworkers, healthcare professionals.

yknow what our chief of medical said yesterday in a company-wide call?

“take time to mourn the life you had before covid. there will not be a ‘post-covid’ normalcy. this is our normal.”

absolutely surreal to see the garbage mainline reporting on it. ex: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/29/chop-chaz-shooting-seattle-police-free-zone

> Officers said in a police blog that at about 3am on Monday, a white Jeep Cherokee SUV was reported near a Chop concrete barrier that surrounds the protest area. Several unidentified people then fired shots into the vehicle.

never mentioned that the folks driving the SUV opened fire first with automatic weaponry, in two drive-bys. activists are never quoted, only the police account is used.

this kind of bogus media serves as cover for the upcoming clearing of the CHAZ and the reclamation of the police precinct. it’s so bland and naked. absolutely headfucked.

Hey, just published a great article on how I design and implement infrastructure, and how that shaped Cloud Island.
