It's weird when people act like welfare or medicare or social security are some Great Crime Against the Natural Order.
I mean I can find jokes from China 2000+ years old that include reference to welfare programs, from rice to firewood. We've been taking care of each other in various ways since forever, otherwise we wouldn't be here.

Since the National Weather Service may be going away soon, Iβve started researching crowdsourced weather reporting.
It turns out robust networks of amateurs running personal weather stations already exist⦠and they feed their data to NWS or the Weather Underground (i.e., the Weather Channel).
Surely this is something that could be federated.

For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago. Like these are basically the same crypto bros who just helped #ElonMusk buy Twitter. They might even be literally the same people (I strongly suspect they are but I'm too lazy to check). Either way #BlockchainCapital was co-founded by #BrockPierce, who also brought you #Tether, AKA the company that Trump's transition team chairman manages $120 billion for. Pierce is also a friend of the #Netanyahu family.
You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the official press release: bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2β¦
Moving to BlueSky is not an escape. Growing a base there is just putting in a bunch of work to create a platform that will be co-opted by crypto bros as soon as X breaks in half.

βHave we been able to able to contact London?β
βNegative, Commander. All of our primary and backup channels remain down. We have also been unable to make contact with any other British submarines.β
βItβs been four days, now. I think itβs time. Itβs safe to assume something catastrophic has occurred.β
The commander looked solemnly toward another senior member of the crew.
βFetch the letter.β He said.
βAbsolutely, sir.β The officer said, moving out of the submarineβs control room.
βYou see,β the commander said, addressing the remaining crew. βEvery Prime Minister prepares letters of last resort for British Submarines. It contains instructions on what we should do in the event that the government has fallen and we cannot make contact with them. No one has ever opened one of these letters, let alone had to follow the instructions.β
The senior officer returned with a sealed envelope, and handed it to the commander. The commander proceeded to open the envelope. He took out a folded piece of paper and paused.
βWe are a family aboard this submarine, and we may be all we have left for one another. For that reason, I will read this aloud, so we all know the plan at the same time.β
He unfolded the paper.
βHere goes,β he said, taking a deep breath. βIt reads, HP Laserjet P1102W Self Test and Device Configuration.β
The Commander stopped and looked up.
βI believe they may have put the wrong page in.β

I copied this to Reddit, and this happened:

Retro peeps: Anyone have any tips for getting a SyQuest 88 MB drive to work? All cartridges spin up but it seems to fail the disc init check and just blinks green LED slowly (no red LED). Adrianβs Digital Basement trick of SilverLiningβs βshort testβ didnβt work.
Apps that claim to read and seek donβt move the head. Self tests (with a jumper) do seek/move head properly.

Hereβs the motherboard from the Syquest 88MB drive. 7 electrolytics with three being suspiciously close to where the heads plug in. Wonder if itβs a signal/amplification problem caused by bad caps.
in other words: if a capacitor reads fine/similar in at least 2 test-frequencies, one shot less for the parts cannon.
I started by replacing the two 10uF 16V caps (C7 and C25) with tantalums. I tried it again and the symptoms were the same.
Next, I replaced two 2.2uF 50V caps (C63 and C??). Here I only had through hole electrolytics so I had to get creative to keep their height down.
Thereβs three other 2.2uF 50V caps but they donβt have polarity markings. I decided to leave those as-is for the moment.
Letβs fire it up! π€
OMG it worked! π The SyQuest 88MB has a steady green LED now after inserting a cartridge! After a bit of fiddling with the SyQuest Utilities app, I got it to mount!
Copying files from it is working, although a few files report a disk error. Iβll keep going and see how far it gets.
Itβs always caps.
