Frieren is so, so, so, so good.

Did you know that the name of the show, "葬送のフリーレン", literally means "Frieren from a funeral procession" or "Frieren who sees off the deceased"?

I feel like the English title, "Beyond the journey's end", does not quite capture the fact it is all a jumbled emotional journey of Frieren grieving over her friends. But it works as a subtitle, so I'll let it slide.

Kinda have to restrain myself to not shop for Wera tools

Idea: A #FreeSoftware #KiCad Plugin in #Rust or #Python that feeds your BOM and queries against a Distributor to check if all is stocked.
Advanced:

- Automatic order
- Calculation of total price
- EOL component check

Spent half of the day debugging a SIGSEGV in a Python extension module, and the other layouting in #KiCad. Really great tbh.

"source: ChatGPT" has the same energy as "source: I just made it up"

@fabos no issues there

Sigh, found the reason für my #Starbook not booting: defect SODIMM RAM module.
Well, at least not #Debian unstable at fault this time. Maybe I can run memtest on the weekend.

Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2". Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin.

A Combine soldier threatening with a baton, in front of a door. Which one is a greater menace in gamedev?

It snowed in my city, and it's kinda hilarious watching the car drivers being defeated by the snow. Coming from a place where snow in winter is common this is funny. Had no issue at all biking on the packed snow.

@disaster2life @rail bought a leatherman surge at 19 and have been happily using it since then. 10/10 recommended

How far will it go this time?

we should run a Community Datasheet Awards thing where we vote for which parts have the best datasheets and then award the part a little trophy

my German mind is desirous of this

@kaia needs "abgelehnt" too, though

@SpaciousCoder78 @signalapp I have pretty much all private communication on Signal

Oh boy, that was fast! Somehow we need to find more future-proof models for open-source hardware. Letting the market do its thing is showing its true colors once again. Pure evil! 👿

Qualcomm-owned Arduino quietly pushed a sweeping rewrite of its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and the changes mark a clear break from the open-hardware ethos that built the platform.
The new documents introduce an irrevocable, perpetual license over anything users upload, broad surveillance-style monitoring of AI features, a clause preventing users from identifying potential patent infringement, years-long retention of usernames even after account deletion, and the integration of all user data (including minors) into Qualcomm’s global data ecosystem. Military weird things and more.

Several sections effectively reshape Arduino from an open community platform into a tightly controlled corporate service with deep data extraction built in. The most striking addition: 

users are now explicitly forbidden from reverse-engineering or even attempting to understand how the platform works unless Arduino gives permission. That’s a profound shift for a brand long embraced by educators, makers, researchers, and open-source advocates.
