Nur mal so als Idee.

So, since @dec_hl nerdsniped me into checking out @marove's Blinkyparts webshop for Solder Things, I had to order a few sweet kits. I just completed this one in a bit over an hour. It's not the most spectacular of the boards, but definitely the most complicated! I'm a tiny bit proud that it works straight away :D

Is it too late to get rid of meaningless spinning activity (not "progress"!) indicators?

Just tell me what you're doing! :P

Also, bring back HDD/SSD activity #blinkenlights. They were helpful.

Can someone please make a run of these, or something a bit more modest, and sell it please?

I have money I want you to take.

At #38c3, we presented our #BlinkenCity research, which started as a fun art project idea, and ended up as a plausible European #blackout scenario.

TL;DR: Some European countries use unencrypted and unauthenticated #longwave radio to steer parts of their renewable power, enough to potentially cause a Europe-wide blackout.

The control signals can be sent with just a #Flipper Zero over short distance, or via self-built transmitters over a long distance (e.g. using a kite to lift an antenna wire).

The system is also used for street lamp control, allowing for a scaled-up “Project #Blinkenlights” art installation that transforms an entire city into a screen (for astronauts).

The company operating this system has threatened us with lawsuits and (now publicly) denies the risk.

It snow.

#38c3 Overheard near the #blinkenlights assembly: The axolotl are sold out. I guess @TheEconomist was right that 2024 is the year of the axolotl!

"My God, that's [the soldering master equivalent of] Jason Bourne."

...

Melting vias and dancing around them. (I said earlier I couldn't find my good soldering iron...)

Because it's that very dark time of the year maybe it's time to remember and celebrate a very bright and beautiful project by CCC: "Blinkenlights - Arcade" in Paris - the follow-up-project of "Blinkenlights" in Berlin.
