There should be stuff to do at Forest Hill station. It's a huge hub but why is there nothing here

Hello SF foks! I'm freelance tutoring! I've been working at C2 Education for over a year now as a professional tutor, but I'm also tutoring privately as well.

I teach Math, Science, Test prep, electronics. I can help with homework, concepts, or even introduce an upcoming class.

For more info, check out https://copperrose.work/tutor/. Message me here, or my contact info is in the web page. Thanks!

Any idea how to have multiple mastodon accounts and switch between them on a single app/device?

I just got a website running for my Astro Medallion project: https://ericofftherails.city/astro-medallion/

You can buy Astro Medallion, a planetary clock that tracks the planets with RGB LEDs on a bare circuit board mounted in a hand-finished cherry frame!

The web page explains the ins and outs of how it works and how you can use to see where in space our planetary neighbors are!

Hello! I'm making this planetary clock, called Astro Medallion. For anyone interested in #astronomy, #astrology, or #electronics , this will calculate the position of the planets around earth relative to the star sign it's in. It's made on a custom built circuit board mounted on a laser cut finished cherry frame. If you'd like to buy one, I'd love to build you one! DM me if you're interested!

Things are feeling bad with tech right now and all the ID verification garbage. I'm a big youtube watcher, and not having it would leave a pretty large hole, but I'm very tempted to leave. I've been wanting to de-google for quite a while now anyway. I guess there's nebula still!

okay this might be a crazy reach, but there was an old linux game on ubuntu that was around in at least ~2008. It was simple, 2D, you'd build bases or cities on a planet and then connect them with "steam pipes" to power reach city. It was kind of a networking problem. Then alien ships would periodically fly by and wreck your pipes and stuff. Any ideas what it was? I think I installed it via apt-get back in the day.

Do SF folks have any recs for CSAs? I'm aware of https://greenheartsfamilyfarm.com/. Do we like them? What other SF options if any are there?

Reading http://archive.today/B7c0x and beyond the unsurprising horror of this study, it sure seems like we're about to hit a "dark age". And it made me think that our economies might be so sensitive that maybe we will collapse ourselves so fast and soon that we'll reach near 0 emissions faster than any "political" solution, and afterwards maybe the climate catastrophe won't be extinction level bad 🤷

Anyone on here know astronomy? I'm playing with a rust astronomy library that has a function that computes the "hour angle" from only azimuth and altitude, and the observer latitude.

But everywhere I see Hour Angle defined as increasing as time goes on because it depends on your longitude and what time it is. How could this function possibly calculate Hour Angle without knowing observer longitude or what time it is?

Is there some alternative definition of Hour Angle? Is the function just misnamed? https://github.com/saurvs/astro-rust/blob/master/src/coords.rs#L351

This might be a reach but does anyone know where I could possibly find a copy of "Connect the Bay: The Seamless Bay Area Transit Game"? Even to just borrow? I don't think I can buy it anymore

These are mind boggling results from the CA elections. California is "so liberal" and yet they hate renters, want prisoners to be literal slaves, want workers to be poor and not afford to live, and hate renters a second time.

Like y'all are conservatives!

I'm pretty surprised at how badly prop 33 did. Californians really hate renters I guess? Aren't like half of us renters anyway though? I don't get it.

Hi #OpenHardware & #Electronics #Networking et al folks, my friend Seth and I have embarked on a ethernet hardware project (hopefully to become a router). For now we're just experimenting with an ethernet PHY to get used to it and to that end we've made a little PHY "breakout" board for the the GPY111 PHY chip by MaxLinear.

However we've been having trouble getting the PHY to talk to us properly. We've tried turning on the Far End Test Loop which should bounce anything coming in over the eth cable back out the cable but we get no Transmitted data from the PHY over the cable. We also tried a hard-wired RGMII loop-back which did nothing. The GPY111 can at least transmit test packets. Is there anyone with experience with this chip that could help?

The intention is to route RGMII from the PHY into the connector (2nd pic, on the right of the board) (https://syzygyfpga.io/) to mate with the BeagleV-fire which has an FPGA. The idea is we would talk to our PHY over the BeagleV to send and receive data.

As an aside, who should I follow that has a great intersection of #OpenHardware, #OpenSource, #Rust, #Embedded and also has great #leftist politics and thinks about #technology and #society?

Okay I'm doing a proper #introduction post! I've been here for only a few days so far.

I'm Eric, I'm in the #SFBayArea, punching keys in the #code mines.

I'm a #socialist, #TransitTooter and #BikeTooter and live #CarFree!

I'm also really interested in socially conscious #tech. I wonder how tech and #social issues overlap and inform each other. How do we imagine tech outside of capital? I'm learning #embedded and #OpenHardware using #rust! Tech and #transportation to the people!
