Judging from the all the AS CrowdSec reports as the main hostile sources trying to attack my hosted services, I can only conclude that the biggest thread to the safety of the Internet as a whole is... Google.

Partial screenshot of my CrowdSec dashboard, showing "Top AS" as "GOOGLE CLOUD PLATFORM" (688 attempts - 51.3%) and "Top Targets" as "p.antsu.net" (371 attempts - 27.7%).

Afraid I'll have my soldering loicense revoked after this one...

Three small electronic boards stacked and soldered together in close proximity. The top board is an ESP32-C6 Super Mini, the middle board is a voltage and current sensor, and the bottom board is a 3.3V buck converter. The wires connecting the boards are very short, and serve as supports to keep the boards apart. Two of these wires have even been threaded though the middle board, soldered, then re-insulated, connecting all three boards in one go.

Same object from the first image, viewed from the side, where the wires are more prominent.

Same object viewed from a different angle.

I bought an external light for the caravan, and it comes with 2 "temperatures" (2 separate LED strips inside). It has a single ground wire and 2 positives, one for each strip. The way it is intended to be wired is by using either two switches (warm / cold / mixed […] [Original post on p.antsu.net]

>OpenAI stole proofs for high-profile mathematical problems from mathematicians who used ChatGPT Huh...

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

"it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.

"it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. "you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster." there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn't mean it has no price

"for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Do you ever see a font choice that makes you want to punch someone?

White text against a black background reading "An exciting new residential development coming soon".

The font used is full of sharp 90-degree angles and very unpleasant to read.

Despite the inadequacy of the equipment (just my phone) and the situation (shaky train on my way back home) I managed to get some pretty cool photos of the #SolarEclipse today.

Bad photo of the solar eclipse above a building. The sun is overexposed (despite my best efforts) and the eclipse cannot be seen directly, but several "half-sun" lens flares (?) can be seen around the actual sun.

Bad photo of the solar eclipse above a some trees. The sun is overexposed (despite my best efforts) and the eclipse cannot be seen directly, but two "half-sun" lens flares (?) can be seen around the actual sun.

Bad photo of the solar eclipse next to a comms tower. The sun is overexposed (despite my best efforts) and the eclipse cannot be seen directly, but two "half-sun" lens flares (?) can be seen around the actual sun.

Bad photo of the solar eclipse over a field, from a bigger distance. The sun is overexposed (despite my best efforts) and the eclipse cannot be seen directly, but one small "half-sun" lens flare (?) can be seen in the left half of the image.
Some power lines can also be seen, along with a reflection from the train's cabin lights, which align almost perfectly.

Only 7% of charge left, and yet it expects to last another full day, totaling 17.3 days on a single charge! Well-fucking-done to the engineers behind the #Pebble Time 2, I'm impressed.

Battery statistics screen in the Android version of the Pebble app. It shows a graph tracking battery levels throughout the last few hours, with the last reading being 7%, followed by estimates of how long it'll last in total (17.3 days) and how much it has left (1.2 days). Below it is a pizza-style chart showing different percentages of battery consumption from each of the system's components:

Applications/Watchface: 2.1%
System: 49.3%
Backlight: 25.7%
Vibrator: 5.5%
Heart Rate Monitor: 6.5%
Bluetooth: 10.8%
