  1. Wonder if any of the space exploration science communicators on YouTube, Tiktok, etc will be using the recent Voyager 2 news to talk about the Phobos missions and in particular how Soviet ground control sent a suicidal command sequence that brought the Phobos-1 mission to a premature end

  5. "The End"

    And that concludes my #genuary for this year #genuary2025

    My third so far

    In my first Genuary back in 2023, for the last day #genuary31 I recall doing something similar where the prompt said "Deliberately break one of your previous images, take one of your previous works and ruin it."

  7. The feed seems to be 1 minute delayed behind the feed which was itself delayed with respect to analogue TV back when they were still being transmitted.

    Gone are the days when I would hear simultaneous yells emanating from open windows as I walk outside avoiding watching major sporting events.

    Wonder if I can figure out what service people are tuned into based on the delay.

  8. I found what looks like the coax connection to the TV aerial on the roof. It was hidden away inside a bedroom closet. Might be able to pick up a few channels. Is there anything on that's worth watching live?

    There's also the remnants of a ethernet cable embedded in a hole in the wall.

  9. The driver board for the JOY decoration is an nano and a very hastily soldered together protoboard circuit for doing experiments with , , and control voltages. I didn't have time to fully test it before driving over to my brother's place where I lack the tools to fix any issues. Amazingly I've found just one badly bodged switch to be the only mistake on the board.

  13. I do have a 1N5822 Schottky

    Comparing datasheets
    SK26 60V 2A
    1N5822 40V 3A

    The voltages on this side of the switch mode power supply are not expected to be much higher than 12V DC. This wall wort is rated at 600mA 7.2VA. The electrolytic caps are only rated up to 16V

    Will it work?

    Same here. BASIC programs were the only info I ever had on biorhythms. Never realised that there was a cult-like craze surrounding it and until decades later
