  • ICE Threatened to Shoot Ambulance Driver Picking Up Injured Portland Protester, Medics Say

    Jump

  • I think we're more at the point where they should be getting arrested by local cops. It says a lot that local cops are defending them instead.

    Saying "I will shoot you" is illegal, no matter who you are. It doesn't matter if they work for ICE, the FBI, the local police, or McDonalds; they should be arrested if they say that.

  • What ever happened to Nicole the fediverse chick?

    Jump

  • Maybe it was a phishing scheme to identify people's IP addresses based on where they loaded the image from. In that case, each person would only receive one message. Fortunately I use a proxy, so they got nothing.

  • Hidden fees

    Jump

  • I once went to a restaurant that charged a 5% fee for paying by credit card. They only accepted credit cards.

    I think it's illegal, but how could I enforce this?

  • Flock Safety and Texas Sheriff Claimed License Plate Search Was for a Missing Person. It Was an Abortion Investigation.

  • Qualcomm to Acquire Arduino—Accelerating Developers’ Access to its Leading Edge Computing and AI

    Jump

  • Qualcomm won't send you a datasheet unless you can promise an order of 100,000. Arduino has always been open specification, and this is totally incompatible with Qualcomm.

  • Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update

    Jump

  • I would never subscribe to Crunchyroll, because they use DRM.

  • Google Calls ICE Agents a Vulnerable Group, Removes ICE-Spotting App ‘Red Dot’

    Jump

  • Going into an apartment complex, arresting everyone there including children, including US citizens, without a warrant? That's illegal. But there's nothing you can do about it except sue them afterwards.

  • "Is that ham processed"

    Jump

  • Or maybe God likes it. Maybe God is thinking, "I wish I had thought to make something so horrific. This is art in its terribleness."

  • Hail Corporate!

    Jump

  • The GrapheneOS people. Everyone in their IRC unironically thinks Iphones are highly secure, in part BECAUSE they are proprietary. But they also don't tolerate any criticism of Google, especially if you criticize Google for being proprietary.

  • Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts arrested by ICE, district says

    Jump

  • "This suspect was arrested in possession of a loaded weapon in a vehicle provided by Des Moines Public Schools after fleeing federal law enforcement. This should be a wake-up call for our communities to the great work that our officers are doing every day to remove public safety threats. How this illegal alien was hired without work authorization, a final order of removal, and a prior weapons charge is beyond comprehension and should alarm the parents of that school district."

    Having a handgun is not illegal in Iowa. No permit is required for concealed or open carry.

    The part about work authorization is a lie. This employee completed the I9 process. They were working legally in the US at the start of their employment, and there's no evidence to suggest that changed.

  • The Ubuntu experience:

    Jump

  • Usually it's this, but sometimes the Recaptcha doesn't even load (looks like an IP ban). I just submit the form, and then get an error message saying I must complete a Recaptcha, but there's no evidence in the page of any Recaptcha to fill out.

    I'm on a residential ISP. I've checked every IP address reputation system I can find, and see no problems (except from "Clean Talk", but they're so small that I doubt Google uses them).

    Also, I hate knowing that I'm doing unpaid labor to help train an AI that will make the world a worse place.

  • The Ubuntu experience:

    Jump

  • I can't make an account, because I can't complete a Recaptcha. Google Recaptcha is used on every ubuntu.com signin page. (This means I also can't submit bug reports.)

  • I'm working on a custom split keyboard and i have questions.

    Jump

  • Actually, I just saw that the image could zoom in if I opened it in a new window.

    Regarding your connectors: If you want to have the different parts of the keyboard connect by USB-C, then you would need to add a USB-C hub inside each part that could have downstream devices.

    If you are willing to have each part be a different USB device, that would simplify the design a lot. Then, they could all connect to a USB hub.

    If you want to minimize cable clutter, you might consider interconnecting the components with something like QWIIC, which is pretty small. It would also require doing custom firmware.

  • I'm working on a custom split keyboard and i have questions.

    Jump

  • Electrical engineer here. I can only answer a few of the questions:

    This will be a "USB Device" (as opposed to USB Host or USB OTG) so the correct USB connector to use is B receptacle, mini-B receptacle (obsolete), micro-B receptacle (obsolete), or C receptacle. You can pick any one of those. The obsolete ones still work fine, it's just hard to find cables for them. Mini-B is actually very durable. Alternately, you could have a captive cable with a USB A male plug on the end.

    KiCad has pretty good facilities for making your own component layouts. Many components you simply can't find existing files for. Unfortunately, this is part of the life of circuit design. It should only take an hour or so per component.

    Adding diodes can enable N-key rollover. If you don't need that feature, you could skip it. If you're going to the trouble of making your own keyboard, diodes are a comparatively small cost, so you should do it. The Chouchou keyboard uses a separate pin for every single key, so it doesn't need diodes.

    Yes, you can hide the parts in a case. But you could also just make the back of the circuit board really long, and there should be enough space for it. Picking out connectors and cables and stuff is always a pain, so try to avoid having multiple boxes if you can. The electronics should be pretty small anyway.

  • Have you tried self-hosting your own email recently?

    Jump

  • I have self hosted my email since 2006. I gave up on self hosting outgoing mail in 2021, but I still keep the server up for incoming mail, and still set up throwaway accounts on there.

    The hard part of hosting email is getting Google and Microsoft to accept outgoing mail. Tons of businesses that do not have visibly outlook .com or gmail .com addresses are still hosted by those servers.

    I had SPF, DKIM, and a static datacenter IP address with no reputation problems. I still couldn't get through to Microsoft, not even in people's junk mail directory, until they manually whitelisted my address. Microsoft didn't allow them to whitelist a whole domain. Google was a little easier, but they added new demands monthly.

    In 2025, I can't get reliable delivery to gmail .com addresses even sending from a hotmail .com address in the outlook .com web interface.

  • Steam Linux Client Update - September 9th

  • I ran Steam on Wayland just fine for several years.

  • How Do You Prove Your Citizenship? ICE won’t say.

    Jump

  • “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, they promptly let the individual go,”

    This quote by Kavanaugh is a false statement, and probably a lie. Lots of permanent residents with valid green cards and people with valid visas are getting abducted by ICE, and then their visa or green card is simply revoked for no reason. Then they are deported.

  • How does streaming compare to "analog"?

    Jump

  • Yeah, true, but that's mostly fixed costs, and has a pretty low incremental cost for each video delivered. The fixed costs we have to pay regardless.
