Australian software engineer Sarah Spencer hacked a 1980's knitting machine to create "Stargazing: a knitted tapestry" to show the universe in a unique way. 🇦🇺
Sarah explains, “By using a floppy drive emulator written in Python and a web interface, I can send an image to the Raspberry Pi over the network, preview it in a knitting grid, and tell it to send the knitting pattern to the knitting machine via the floppy drive port ...

In an effort to create and provide better articles on my blog, especially those related to cybersecurity and tech, I want to get your feedback on what type of articles y’all would like to see.
So, let me know below the types, series, etc. that I can write about.
Feel free to share to help spread across the #fediverse.
最近从 Spotify 迁移到了 YouTube music，结果发现把 playlist 全加入 liked music 里这么基础的操作竟然没有原生支持，还要在 reddit 上找 AI script 操作 ( https://www.reddit.com/r/YoutubeMusic/comments/18s50uo/comment/n6ojg33/ )。真是离谱…… 还有官方迁移工具明明有歌手和歌名信息一般搜出来首个就是还能 match 错好多歌（基本都是同名但完全不同的歌）相比之下都是小问题了。
终于下决心迁出用了好多年的 Spotify 的原因是随机算法实在是差到离谱。平时开 local 几十分钟的路还勉强能忍，前阵子 road trip 开了十天车我库里 500 多首歌它竟然来来回回就只播那么几首，是怎么能烂到这种程度的，是故意做得超烂好让你用加推荐功能的吗？真是烂到家了。
也算是 tech 市场现状了。就是比烂
I Must Come Clean: I Have #Trump Derangement Syndrome—And Here’s Why https://www.blueamp.co/p/i-must-come-clean-i-have-trump-derangement
"You may get TDS if you have a strong dislike for adjudicated rapists, #Jan6 insurrectionists, #Putin -suckling seditionists, and golden-showering onanists. TDS is inflamed just by encountering un-sweater’d, White Bill Cosby the Convicted Felon, or seeing him make the Oval Office look like it was decorated by Pizarro.
It must be TDS to despise the worst “human” shuffling his cankles in #America. A vile, venal, fragile, flabby, narcissistic, lazy-ass, selfish, sociopathic, soul-holed, gauche, gaudy, perpetually dumbf*ked man, woman, person, camera old coot, who looks like someone piled a burnt-ochre-colored watermelon on top of a jello-gelatin factory spill"

I tested all three OpenVPN tiers: Why the free version is still the best choice for most users
OpenVPN offers three modes of deployment with varied pricing based on the same underlying protocol. Here are the pros, cons, and costs associated with each.

The bill emerged in response to a ProPublica investigation exposing how Microsoft used China-based engineers to service Defense Dept.’s computer systems for nearly a decade, leaving sensitive data vulnerable to hacking from a leading cyber adversary.

Be still my beating heart 😍
Hi, I'm Sean.
I'm from the oldest incorporated city in so-called #canada, #SaintJohn - home of the #irving empire.
I am an iconoclast - staunchly #antifascist, #antiracist, #anticapitalist, somewhere on the #autism spectrum, and 3 years into punishing #LongCovid. #WearAMask!!!
I've worked the last decade as #HeadOfSound at a beautiful heritage #theatre. Before that I was in #tech for a decade doing #development and #reverseEngineering. I've also worked in #electronics and other #audio fields.
I grew up in a musical family and have played in bands since 13. I'm on around 60 albums, have toured canada and the us, and am part of what is likely the most prolific band in canada: #Slugmilk.
I run a home mixing studio and a small printshop and I have a small "datacentre" which #selfhosts this #mastodon instance.
I'm here on the #fedi to learn from everyone, and to help others learn. I will help anyone with anything I can.
I'd love to meet more like-minded friends - don't be shy!
#introduction : This is my second day on Mastodon which I joined to share a story I broke on the Apple beat @gruber, the OG.
I edit the only immigration news boutique at the White House, Congress, and Supreme Court.
I'm from Chile by way of Missouri. I covered Congress for Vanity Fair before Migrant Insider. My dog is Roxy.
Elsewhere I post about mostly about ICE these days. Here I post about #immigration, plus gentler topics, like #art, #design, #culture, and of course, the #tech industry:
