flashback to
circuit for enabling deep-sleep on the ESP8266, which could only be done by connecting GPIO16 to RST, but would break the programming interface.

i was just about to make a joke about how they should have used WAGO 😅
From the NTSB investigation: To WAGO Corporation: 15. Add a warning in your product data sheet accompanying WAGO terminal block 280-681 (model), as well as any other terminal block models or similar products that incorporate wire-label banding you manufacture, to explain that improperly placed wire-label banding can impede the proper insertion of a wire into a terminal block.

i’m doing lights for system activate in vermont this weekend and you can tell that i am on 2h of sleep
Text in front of picture of a historic carbon arc lamp: LEDs not giving you enough light? need 50,000lm but can't afford good CRI? try 67 amps just 67 amps of direct current no SMPS ho PWM justlamps, full spectrum. UV too. you will certainly not regret 67 amps

The video from the seizure notice...

Props to the guy on dread who predicted a seizure by German LE five days ago because the honeypot / maintenance announcement by the Archetyp admin used the wrong unicode character for "'"
Screenshot from dread: "BigBoss started to use a different kind of apostroph. U+2019 instead of U+0027 You can confirm this by copying the apostrophes from his old threads into notepad manually and comparing them with the one from his most recent post Quote: thethrownawayest32983 Something l've noticed about this message here. In that message he used ' (right curly quote) as an apostroph. I went through older comments by him and he always used ' (straight quote) as an apostroph. This is common for Germans to do and is technically wrong from a typographical standpoint. I only know it because of my job. Germans tend to do it because it's easier to type on german keyboards and because they don't know there is a difference usually. Of course this could also be a coincidence and I also didn't go through all of his posts (maybe someone else can check this too?) but I though l'd share this. Go to /post/a1dcd3135c18b0a6a9dc and highlight the apostrophe, click search on duckduckgo while closely following the URL bar, or click the url bar and press ctrl + Z after the search has loaded. you will see the apostrophe url encoded as %E2%80%99 then go to any other big boss post such as /post/d82acb5826271873d222 and do the same. The apostrophe will be encoded as %27 'this is U+2019 'this is U+0027 Big Boss didn't write the most recent PGP signed post, so somebody else has access to his PGP key, that was stored on his computer. Make of that what you will. What I'm making is a drink in honor of him."

More amazing news I can finally announce~

I am excited beyond words to join forces with Maya and Eris for the third time, working with my dream team @junibomber.bsky.social and @gender.computer to craft and curate the arts for our greatest lightning project yet ✨🗡️💠
Event flyer for System Active. “PRISMATIC FOREST ILLUMINATION BY GL1TCH.CRAFT • JUNIPER • Λουκία (thats me!)” We invite you to System Activate, our first experiment in the forests of Central Vermont. This event is an ecstatic psychedelic ritual that we all get to create together from the ground up. System Activate is a rave, not a festival. You can think of it as a rite of the Motherbeat. The System Activate team will set-up the 42,000 Watt LUV NRG SOUNDSYSTEM in a gorgeous forest clearing atop a hill with the sun and the moon as our backdrop. This gathering will take place from August 22nd - August 24th, 2025. This event has special considerations that may not apply to most weekenders or camping events. Please read the information on our website in full before purchasing a ticket. This event has been years in the making. We cannot wait to welcome you into this space and share in this experience together. Tickets are limited and currently live at our website. We look forward to dancing, touching the ineffable, and hopefully building something for the future with you. All info can be found on systemactivate.com

there have been no updates on dove in the past week, and I’m too anxious to call WildCare and ask how she is doing :/

I did however start feeding her friends, and we are slowly building trust. I haven’t seen them since the storm started, but up until two days ago they would come visit every day <3
Two doves sitting on a stringlight in our backyard. I started putting out seeds around the same time every day and they started singing for me when I forget to feed them on time^^
