go pet some cats, touch grass, walk in a park, look at the sky, hug a friend and remember that we're all in this mess together. Meanwhile, I am gathering some supplies to be shipped to Ukraine. Slava Ukraini!

This betrayal on open stage, the free world will never forget.

"The vulgar, threatening, ignorant, snarling, arrogant bully that is the leader of the free world, God help us. (...) barking at Zelensky to show “respect” to the Godfather President. The world owes Zelensky a favour for showing the true face of Trump and Vance: a pair of gangsters who are […]

I'm going through two decades worth of phones from a family, to decommission / wipe data. Old phones were *so much* nicer to work on with screws and tabs in stead of glue and glass. luckily my modern phone has screws too! #recycling #DataProtection

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.

On the weekly #FUNcube call: "I have managed to un-dog my CPLD." If you'd listen to the call without any context, you'd think we're all mad. If you'd listen to the call with context, you'd think we're all mad. #satellites #cubesat #engineering

This weekend I am speaking at @hackerhotel, the event that is a hoax. Saturday 16:00: "What's that CubeSat Satellite stuff anyhow?" Be there or be Cube(Sat)

Social media platform by level of resistance from the average user: Facebook: "Guess I heard something but my grandson says it's fine." Twitter: : racist bot tries to sell you NFTs: Bluesky: "everything is terrible and we're all going to die... but what can you do" Fediverse: : LITERALLY […]

Amazing! In the Czech region of Brdy, beavers built dams in exactly the right spot where the local wildlife administration has been planning such dams for years. "They built the dams without any project documentation and for free. " #wildlife […]

AO-73 was commanded back into full time transponder mode earlier today, 3rd Feb 25. The mode U/V linear transponder is now active 24/7 following a period of about a month where we gathered telemetry data on the 11 year old satellite's electrical power system. The two Lithium Ion cells are […]

Just told some colleagues at work about the Streisand effect and @knmi app, and they instantly went and downloaded the app. This shit is so fucking hilarious

Ha ha ha!

I hate it when stuff intermittently stops working without any clear cause. Broken stuff is much better, because it's clear what's wrong and how to fix it!

How the heck does #YouTube think the current issues will not result in more people leaving? It's borderline unwatchable now. - AdBlock detection is super flaky, even if I would allow ads it won't work - Paying does not get rid of tracking - Ads are misleading junk for cryptobros, stock trading […]
