ps: i did offer you last night to jump in to this train and be involved in the great movement. but you too lazy to open door little bit wider by yourself. i'm not going to be your babysitter in that, im sorry. if you not get it - the gift i gave you, then just forget about. you will have another option soon: to buy new toys in exchange for "money". i hope you have them a lot. cause new toys i guess will be pricy a little, cause its always like that on very begin (and you not only who will want them too). so start collecting buks asap then, its your option now. and others, who don't want to use brain. sorry if sound little bit rude, but its how i see it.

Hubzilla


New Federated Social Media Hubzilla

We’ve added a new federated social media platform called “Hubzilla“, hubzilla.eskimo.com/. It is similar to Friendica friendica.eskimo.com/ in that it is a federated social media platform but it has many more capabilities including channels that are similar to groups or blogs or user pages in Facebook but federated across the entire fediverse grid, although not all fediverse servers like friendica support all the features of hubzilla. It is considerably more complex however it is well documented online. Discovery of both users and resources such as channels is much easier and faster than it is with friendica and in my view the layout is somewhat nicer.

Hubzilla


I installed a Hubzilla instance tonight in addition to friendica, hubzilla.eskimo.com/ but I do not think I have it configured right. I can find other profiles on other hubs and other channels but no messages come across and when I try to view public stream it says, Public Stream App (Not Installed): The unmoderated public stream of this hub, but in the list of add-ons there is no Public Stream App and I do not know how to install it.

Tickless Kernels


5.10.17 and 5.11 tickless kernels are now available:
eskimo.com/kernel/

There is both a "client" and "server" version of each. The client version is compiled to be fully preemptive and with a 1000HZ clock for minimum latency. The server version is non-preemptive and with a 100HZ clock for maximum thruput.

There are three deb files for each, download all three and install with:
dpkg -i *.deb

Nice video, by the way -- 'Red Pill'. haha!

No idea why it came back, but it did so not too long after this. By the way, when I log in starting from a blank screen, the default is 'Network'. I still don't understand the different choices -- apparently just sorting the database a different way.

One of the neatest features is the ability to look at a contact page, and see that person's comments, independent of which thread they were posted to. You can stumble onto some interesting conversations. Also, gives a good idea whether a person has anything to say, or if they are just a bot/news aggregator.

Softare Defined Radios


A while ago I replaced my SDRv3 with a RSPdx and boy it was a big win. I'm in Shoreline WA about 13 miles north of Downtown Seattle, I'm presently receiving KAWS CSN International on 89.1 Mhz from Boise Idaho 494 miles. I've got longer DX's before but only with Sporadic E skip. There is some slow moderate fading but not bad. It's noisy but intelligable. Given there is a mountain range inbetween this is quite a catch. The mountains make troppo unlikely, the lack of serious fading makes sporadic E unlikely. So I have no idea what mode of propagation this is.

Latest 5.10 tickless kernels (5.10.14) available here:
The "client" kernel is fully pre-emptive with a 1000HZ clock, the "server" is non-preemptive with a 100HZ clock. Client kernels are optimized for lowest possible latency, server kernels are optimized for highest work throughput.

There are three '.deb' files in each, download all three then install with:

dpkg -i *.deb

They can be remove with apt same as any other .deb package. These will work on any debian based distro, Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Zorin, MxLinux, Julinux, etc.

Radiation


After reading fear porn claiming the west coast was being fried by radiation from Fukushima, I bought a Geiger counter so I could measure for myself.

Background radiation on any given day is measuring between .09-.11 microsieverts. This works out to 876 microsieverts a year which is about a hundred fold under the lowest dose associated with an increased risk of cancer.

Not really sure how this compares to normal background radiation. This is just outside of Seattle. But it certainly falls far short of being "fried".

I once calculated that a cubic meter of seawater would have about 4000 Becquerels worth of potassium in it. not sure if that's right, or how to convert that figure to Sieverts or Grays or Curies.
that was inspired by a report that scientists had found 11 Bq/m³ of Cs-137 in a sample from Hawaii. it was likely from Fukushima, since Pacific weapons testing ceased sixty years ago..
I am pretty sure they needed some specialized equipment and several days of monitoring to find that signature -- 11 Bq against a background of ~4000 Bq.

@BR 549 ☎ The unit I have has an actual Geiger Muller tube and a thin plastic case with a slotted back so anything can pass through to the tube. It is supposed to detect Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and X-rays though it claims to be most efficient at detecting Beta and Alpha. So it would seem not only can it detect them but it is most efficient at it. But it's kind of moot as Hanford is on the opposite side of the state and far to the south and so kind of kitti-corner and there is a mountain range that separates us. Portland is more fucked as they drink water from the Columbia that Hanford leaks into.
