Still using our old Thermomix for grinding coffee beans 🤓

Hello, this note is written with #WordPress. If you are reading this with any other software via #ActivityPub: Gratulation. Apparently there is a lot of rage about WordPress COM (that’s the company) changing their terms of service. This here is just another self hosted WordPress instance (that’s the software) federating with the Fediverse *since 2019* – just like a shiton of other software you may never have heard about – and is not affiliated with said company in any way. So… mebbe cool your jets. It’s not the software that makes weird policy decisions. Still have the urge to block,…

Tried #wokwi – an online Arduino simulator – and ditched it again after fiddling with it for 5 minutes. Looks good on first glance, admitted. Raised my first eyebrow after not finding a diode. Ah well, used a 0-resistor instead as placeholder. I don’t see how I can demo a button matrix like that though. Checked the download as ZIP function.

Used the chance to vacuum the insides a little and this may have done the trick to fix some annoying crackling of the ANC function. Mebbe a fine hair was tickling it’s mic. Mebbe it’s just…

Apparently ~6000 people on the Market ~~Place~~Square of #Herrenberg protesting against Nazis. The place is very small because it’s the medieval part of this city – surrounded by old timber-framed buildings. It was almost impossible to move. Not too shabby considering that major cities all over the country had demonstrations going too today. Some, like the one in Munich, had to be cancelled early. Too many people showed up.

🔖 This is as DIY as it gets: Home Flight Sim Tour 2.0 YT suggested this one to me and I absolutely love it. A whole cockpit on a budget made from cardboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09GdiFmaHq0 It’s for civil aviation, unlike my own, and features some very neat ideas – like the fans in the ceiling, or [non functional] “fuses”, for more immersion. It always impresses me how far dedication and skill go.
