I may agree with the message, but making children's books about this is just as cringe as LGBT books for children.

My embedded research lab is basically done.

I have space and switched 12v lines for 16 modems (I currently have 4 set up).

Everything is on 3 amp fuses, but the power system is designed for about 40 amps which is the maximum the PSU can supply.

I have 11 general purpose un-switched lines for permanent installations on the top shelf. Of those, only 4 are in active use: Freebox, PKT Mini (left of Freebox), PCEngines (top), and exhaust fan (not visible). The device immediately above the Freebox takes 19v and and two devices below take 230 AC. I'll be adding another PCEngines unit later but I need a 5.5x2.1->5.5x2.5 adapter for it. As you can see, I also have some unterminated wires at the top, I'm out of 5.5x2.1 barrel connectors.

Each modem on the lower shelf is connected to an FTDI USB serial adapter, currently I have 1x 7-port hub but I will need 2 more before I am able to host 16 modems. USB is controlled by mommy.cjdns.pkt.gg (MoM = Master of Modems), the 19v device immediately above the Freebox. That one has numerous USB ports on the back (actually front) so it is a good fit for the purpose.

The modems under test are based on the EcoNet SoC. I'm currently leading an initiative to add EcoNet support to Linux mainline: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mips/20250325134349.2476458-1-cjd@cjdns.fr/T/ so these modems are for R&D and will later be for automated testing of new kernel versions.

SPEND 30 MINUTES A DAY MAKING SOMETHING OR LEARNING SOMETHING SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE SOMETHING. IT'S FUCKING WORTH IT YOU FUCK.

Tried to get ChatGPT to gen an image of me force feeding Gleason meat but it made Gleason force feed ME (vegan) meat.

Meatboys take another L 😔

It seems like I'm the only person who realizes that the Tesla riots are a psyop made to get people to actually buy those cars. No better way to get people to buy those backdoored, botnet cars then to make any opposition to them look cringe.

@LukeAlmighty This one hasn't said no to me yet, but sometimes gives me garbage results.

Just in case anyone is considering using the Fediverse for your war planning

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has released an open source project called Rayhunter. It is designed to run on an inexpensive (~$20) mobile hotspot and look for signs of mobile spying devices called cell-site simulators. Also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers, they masquerade as legitimate cellphone towers, tricking phones w/in a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower.

>i think the console could have a lot more storage too. a 3GB gamecube game is also really nothing compared to how big some of these other titles are

I think NSO has all the titles for a given console already downloaded, so you would be downloading a huge chunk of 1GB (GameCube discs were 1.47 GB each) GameCube games.

>Mario kart 9 will do gangbusters.

It better. Mario Kart 8 DX is actually my least favorite Mario Kart game because there is not much to unlock outside of new kart parts.

>A lot of people are excited for metroid prime 4.

There is no information about any version of it coming to Switch 2. Maybe there will be something like the GBC where games are enhanced on the Switch 2, but that's not going to get that much people to buy a Switch 2 unless you are truly devoted.

>probably be a new donkey Kong

Never cared about Donkey Kong, but from what I can tell, Retro has been doing nothing but remastering DKCR for over a decade, so maybe people would be excited for it. Maybe there is room for a DK64 spiritual successor.

>another 3d Mario

I haven't even played Odyssey yet but that game also felt like the ultimate 3D mario experience. Maybe they can make one that is even more open world, but that feels unfitting for a Mario game.

>I'd say it's likely we get another zelda remake.

They already remastered Skyward Sword and I don't see them doing a BoTW remaster anytime soon. A Link's Awakening style remake of any of the 2D games would be cool, but for what? The Oracle games or the Minish Cap would probably require another partnership with Capcom, PH and ST aren't fondly remembered enough to justify a remake, ALBTW is probably too recent, and I think Nintendo is done milking NES and SNES nostalgia, so I don't see a remake of those games happening.

>GameCube emulation

I think the only reason why Nintendo doesn't bother to digitally re-release those games is because of their large file sizes (it's their first disc-based console) and Nintendo consoles don't offer that much internal storage. Most of those games would probably only be playable with the GameCube controller adapter due to the lack of analog triggers on most modern Nintendo controllers.

>I think their biggest problem is in fact a new smash entry, there really isn't a whole lot they can do without really revitalizing it from the ground up. I would expect them to cut the roster back, change up movesets, and introduce completely new stages alongside some other gimmick.

Smash is a content focused series, despite it's unique gameplay. I don't know what they could do with it. Maybe bring back some of the bonus minigames, trophies, etc. They could have 3D stages like Shrek Super Slam, but that all I can think of.
