100MHz FM transmitter from 1982, 25 Watts that we used for 3 months of non-licensed radio broadcast. A few coils in power amplifier are missing, and 2N6081/2N6082 (wrong marking) replaced the very expensive original BLY87/BLY89 (~$80-100 for a pair in those days!).

A while ago I tested #nostr and all i found was cryptobros and porn. Today it seems like the porn issue is under control and the feed seems nicer.

Clients got significant UI improvements, but still it feels a bit dangerous to post on a place where data spreads beyond author's control.

I managed to remove notes i published. But in theory all devs say this is UB. Considering there are tons of relays replicating and caching data, some users may still see it.

About this privacy topic it makes me think about the fact that we are not aware enough about all the data we give away and the false feeling of controlling it. Maybe being anonymous instead of having your real persona in this network is the way to go.. but still, i have mixed feelings with this interesting technology (yeah i like the protocol and it's simplicity)

Thoughs?

Pretty good summary. Dark Web.

Spent some time implementing a cheap-ass custom ring bus for CoreScore that I have had in my head for a long time now.

Resource usage improved a bit and P&R time was 20% shorter on the midrange FPGAs I tried. Will be very interesting to see how much this affects the highest CoreScore where P&R times can be 48h right now. I suspect both time and resource savings will be more significant on larger devices

I’m just catching up on Web Integrity but it looks really concerning. Basically adds DRM to your browser so only approved browsers can access certain sites. https://twitter.com/nearcyan/status/1684242509847822336?s=46&t=sPOl9bVNdjREujwiUeFx1g
