the display/switch board on mine died, it was a flex board and seemed to delaminate due to heat and humidity (I'm shocked! Shocked to find heat and humidity in a dishwasher!). So I made my own, with blackjack and hookers, and added multi color LEDs.

Populating a couple of new board designs, one for an mqtt sensor/control gizmo for the compound, the other a cosplay/dev system. Also helping my younger kid on a cosplay project. And, made it through surgery. The mqtt gizmo: atmo sensors, DMX control, sound module. Each building/shop/lab on the

"if you've ever asked if a CONEX counts as a building, you might live on a compound" That said I'm blessed to have the best of both worlds. Live semi rural but 30 mins from downtown. Doing a city thing tonight so I've got a different view.

"All are welcome" says the sign, except when our corporate overlords are using the police state to protect their lies.
A church where Google is holding an "invitation only" event to tell the (chosen) people the "truth" about data centers. Two police cars watch over, like rolling gloom. The church's sign says "all are welcome", but perhaps that only counts on Sundays?

So eurorack cases that allow fractional panels in a rack are spendy. My cheap DIY solution? Use 2020 railing and laser cut panels. Easy to make it for any U size, these are 4U, can easily mount panels of any width. This is my van Unit12's rack with a RaspPi and an analog monitor for drone nav cams

"It is essential to take the threat posed by the Einsatzgruppen soldier's rifle within the wider socio-political context that led to such coercive views on the right". No. It's not. They're fucking fascists. What's essential is we figure out how to stop them. Not sure academic papers are the key.

So many agendas, so many narratives, so much misunderstanding. I find humorous this pic of folks who in a different setting might make all sorts of irrational claims about green smoke. Fascists are bad enough without claiming they're using ancient stuff that hasn't been made in half a century.
