Tried #wokwi – an online Arduino simulator – and ditched it again after fiddling with it for 5 minutes. Looks good on first glance, admitted. Raised my first eyebrow after not finding a diode. Ah well, used a 0-resistor instead as placeholder. I don’t see how I can demo a button matrix like that though. Checked the download as ZIP function. Hm, there is no upload function, guess I have to register for saving online. Guess I can also just import the project text files via copy and paste again. Not comfortable but I can live with that. Found open…

On my last replacement pads for my headphones. Wrote about this at https://beko.famkos.net/2022/03/19/1708554/ before. The last replacement pads promised to “not tear” within 6 months. What a promise of quality eh 😒 Anyway, this is how they do look half a year later. Totally tattered. I knew the parts are EOL for a while so I purchased several sets. That’s my last one however. Used the chance to vacuum the insides a little and this may have done the trick to fix some annoying crackling of the ANC function. Mebbe a fine hair was tickling it’s mic. Mebbe it’s just…

Apparently ~6000 people on the Market ~~Place~~Square of #Herrenberg protesting against Nazis. The place is very small because it’s the medieval part of this city – surrounded by old timber-framed buildings. It was almost impossible to move. Not too shabby considering that major cities all over the country had demonstrations going too today. Some, like the one in Munich, had to be cancelled early. Too many people showed up.

🔖 This is as DIY as it gets: Home Flight Sim Tour 2.0 YT suggested this one to me and I absolutely love it. A whole cockpit on a budget made from cardboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09GdiFmaHq0 It’s for civil aviation, unlike my own, and features some very neat ideas – like the fans in the ceiling, or [non functional] “fuses”, for more immersion. It always impresses me how far dedication and skill go.

Heh, I really have to find out how to not DoS myself whenever a blog article gets pushed via #ActivityPub 🤓

So… in laws had an issue with their web radio “not connecting to the net”. WiFi was always spotty in that location but now it stopped completely. Turns out that thing retrieves a channel list from grundig dot vtuner dot com and while the general vtuner website still works the server for #grundig does time out. Apparently the model in question is no longer supported as well. Didn’t dig further. In laws decided to buy a newer model. In other words: Repeating the same mistake again. Cloud 💩

Heh, the idea of Twitiverse didn’t age well eh? 4 years later: Threads implements ActivityPub. X: Hold my beer.
