@kkavee people here like to think we’re the best in the world in terms of being progressive and equalitarian. This leads them to not see their own biases and behavior and when someone speaks up it leads to “well we treat you so much better here than elsewhere, you really shouldn’t be complaining about these silly insignificant little incidents”

Given it’s international women’s day, I’d like to encourage you all, but especially Dutch men to read these ‘anti-acknowledgments’ in a PhD thesis. This is not from somewhere else, it’s from Delft. And it’s not from the 1950s, but from the present. Unfortunately what academic life and culture in The Netherlands is still like. The author is just one of the few who actually spoke up about it, but there are many stories like it.

Dikke plakken veganistische cake van de buurvrouw en nog warme zelfgemaakte hummus van de andere buurvrouw. Ik verklaar het Zeer Lokale Buurvrouwendag.

Here we are cutting another piece of the same trunk with the sawmill. We only use one saw, because we process it further with a bandsaw. The fungi you see here caused the nice colour of the previous toot.

This piece was cut off the larger trunk to make the large trunk fit through the sawframe.

Most people use chisels for creative purposes, but we use them for destructive work.

A large trunk of beech is almost ready to be processed by sawmill De Salamander, but first we must get the iron parts out.

If we don't do this, at best the saw cuts the nails, gets blunt and starts to "wander". At worst it will tear a saw apart with a lot of violence.

The images show how we use a chisel to dig out the nails we found.

A technical question about SPI. I'm looking at a machine, that has 5 SPI peripherals and a controller. The same CS signal is connected to all of the peripherals.

Am I correct in my thinking that if I would want to reshuffle the devices without access to the firmware in the controller, I'm basically out of luck since it pushes data to all the peripherals with the expectation that the first one takes its piece, forwards the rest to the second and and so forth until everyone has had their share?

We willen allemaal af van Amerikaanse big tech. Er zijn prachtige open (source) initiatieven, vol van prachtige technologie. Maar er is echt veel meer nodig om succesvol te worden. Hier een (pijnlijk) overzicht van wat er beter moet in de open wereld: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/manifest-big-tech-alternatieven/

These are from April 2024.

“Achtung, Zug fahrt durch Bahnsteig 2”

Ich hoffe, dass der ÖBB meint durch die Gleis, und nicht der Steig 😅

I took these in July 2024. A kid left their cute tiny toys under a large trash receptacle in a public park, and I got some shots from their smol perspective.

(I left the toys btw. They were gone the next day, so I hope a kid came back for them )

Hello! I watch a lot of YouTube of the format "person with a special interest talks enthusiastically about their special interest".

I've channels for civil engineering, blade sharpening, mortality, fire ignition, knot tying, urban planning, neolithic tech, and more.

However, most of these channels are hosted by men. I would like to fix this!

Have you a favourite YouTube channel that focuses on knowledge transfer, that's not hosted by a man? Please leave a link in the comments below. Thanks!

Niestety, widać brak dobrego oprogramowania do mielenia HDR-ów — z tych zdjęć zdecydowanie dałoby się wycisnąć więcej.
