The new table extension really adds to the new setup :) Also, the cheap HV supply is a full on score, the only thing off is that the integrated meter needs calibration due to some overshoot. The actual output is spot on from 6 to 600V.
The major traffic increase seems to be a chinese AI scraper. We put some meassures in place, so services should mostly be restored and reliable again. There could still be timeouts here and there tho. An abuse report has been sent to the backbone provider.
Due to a standing (D)DOS attempt, captchas might appear on Karma Krafts websites during the next 24-48 hours. This is to ensure the maximum possible QoS for our sites. Thanks for sticking around! P.S. Whoever is attempting to take us down, upgrade from HTTP1.1 you bloody sucker.
I found a manufacturer which sells HV benchtop supplies for an affordable price, and i am very tempted to get one just to see how good or bad they are. If they're good, i'll get a second one. This would be a tube-tech gamechanger for my workshop.
I think i just cross-bred goulash and borschtsch and i'm not even disappointed one single bit.
It's insane how many people don't know anything about Myst. Myst is the reason we started used discs for computer games, and the game that made mainstream culture start considering video games to be art. It is like more significant to video game history than any film was to film history.
headfallsoff@headfallsoff.com · last wk.i think one of the biggest underlinings in just how bad the western industry has been about its own legacy is like. myst isnt just an old game. it was final fantasy vii before final fantasy vii. it was that fucking huge.
Why do I only make friends with other ADHD people on the spectrum? Because game recognizes game.
whenever you see an ai generated port, recomp, mod loader, or a reverse engineering project, know that it's built on top of work done by those of us who were here before, doing this stuff not for the glory, but for the love of it
. @intellijidea.com now supports Java 27 and Kotlin 2.4. Debugging is now easier with logpoints, console output is linked to the code that produced it, and completion of dependency coordinates is now supported. For Spring, the IDE incorporates migrations into DB structure analysis.
#CLion adds support for C++26 reflection. Debugger configuration is now easier with debug profiles, and fields and global variables are displayed alongside local variables by default. For embedded development, the STM32 bundle manager is now supported.

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.
Jack Saint@lackingsaint.bsky.social · 3w agoNo fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this
![Millennial grey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops.
Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes.
Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2]
Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4]
To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:atdbmignbrjbjgj2ba4axnwl/bafkreidgcz72oqo4dwsqlv2ovhewwekbfxdo7ydluyrffhlijqkg2546gy)
Was never a huge fan of Vencord, but if you are on Linux w/ Wayland, give Vesktop a try. The Linux integration is soooo much better.
After working on it on and off, my new workbench is finally done :)
Tinkering with Box3D + Sokol + Emscripten :) Box3D is *fun* to work with, very simple and straightforward C API, and very configurable (this is simd + single-threaded). New sokol-sample will be up in one or two days.

Some rare electronics content: currently rebuilding a friend's Sony Tapedeck. This includes full recap, factory calibration and wiring cleanup of all old factory bodges. Very relaxing after a long work day sometimes :D
