3/14 Stream: Redrawing the Macintosh SE Schematic in KiCad! #MARCHintosh https://youtube.com/live/N5_XiX5OOjU
Completed my wooden rack for the #commodore trinity. Internally mounted socket strip means whole lot powered by 1 plug. Used chrome car trim to finish off the edges.
Thur Livestream 3/7: Let's FINALLY finish the TRS-80 MC-10 Schematic in KiCad. Really, I think we're going to get it done today! https://youtube.com/live/RBYO6NnoO78
GitHub is struggling to contain an ongoing attack that’s flooding the site with millions of code repositories. These repositories contain obfuscated malware that steals passwords and cryptocurrency from developer devices, researchers said.
The malicious repositories are clones of legitimate ones, making them hard to distinguish to the casual eye. An unknown party has automated a process that forks legitimate repositories, meaning the source code is copied so developers can use it in an independent project that builds on the original one. The result is millions of forks with names identical to the original one that add a payload that’s wrapped under seven layers of obfuscation. To make matters worse, some people, unaware of the malice of these imitators, are forking the forks, which adds to the flood.
“Most of the forked repos are quickly removed by GitHub, which identifies the automation,” Matan Giladi and Gil David, researchers at security firm Apiiro, wrote Wednesday. “However, the automation detection seems to miss many repos, and the ones that were uploaded manually survive. Because the whole attack chain seems to be mostly automated on a large scale, the 1% that survive still amount to thousands of malicious repos.”

Thur 2/1: Redrawing the TRS-80 MC-10 Schematic in KiCad 8 RC2!
https://youtube.com/live/11hBRgYjpRU
We repaired one of these on-stream a couple of years ago. Now it is time to add its schematic to the Bit Preserve archive.
I've decorated three denim jackets with LEDs to bring as an installation for the CETI institute in the #portlandwinterlightsfestival . The CETI installations will be displayed in an abandoned GAP storefront, so this project feels particularly appropriate. Just got the basic animation working for the rain cloud jacket, and hope to find time to enhance it.

i'm really proud of this compass project i just published: https://learn.adafruit.com/qualia-s3-compass
it's coded in #circuitpython and i put a lot of work into it to make sure it was functioning accurately while also looking nice with this round display. this required a lot of math and displayio graphics tricks that will hopefully be a helpful example for folks
