The Runner: Why you should try self-hosting and de-Google your life?
Big American tech companies know way too much about us and are too intertwined with our personal lives, but they don’t have to be. Read more below!

Guess who got another old camera converted to infrared and can now do 700 AND 550nm? Damn, that red leaf effect is powerful, even if a bit tricky to optimize in post-editing... #infrared #photography

#TIL When a Class 2 ceramic capacitor is heated above its Curie temperature (130 °C), the crystal structure changes. Soldering the cap causes a sudden increase of capacitance beyond spec (so don't attempt to hand-matching ceramic caps!), followed by a logarithmic decline (aging). This is reversible, resoldering the cap or baking the board can "reset" an aged cap back to the initial state.
"Referee time" is the time for a cap's capacitance to decline back to its standard spec value (X7R cap ages slowly, referee time is 1,000 h., X5R is only 48 h.). A DC bias not just reduces the effective capacitance, but further accelerates aging in a nonlinear way.
As usual, Class 1 NP0/C0G capacitors are not affected by these effects. #electronics
@jhagas The world would have to scream in pain at this, but all you hear is silence.😢😢

Believe it or not, advances in technology have shrunk true atomic clocks down to something you could conceivably wear (but wouldn't want to) on your wrist and with a power budget that is feasible. These so called Chip Scale Atomic Clocks have been commercialized by a company called Microsemi and you can buy the modules for about $2500 each. They're at least two orders of magnitude more accurate than the best compensates/controlled crystal oscillators. Someone once did a kickstarter even! Lol.
