Seeking Yggdrasil

Former electrician, currently (heh) disabled by long covid, and an enthusiastically terrible writer. Somewhere in my thirties as of the twenties. I also run @shewowalksinflame, though I've not written there in a long while now.

Boris won’t stop annoying me for dinner even though dinner is in 40 minutes so I’m trying to teach Boris when to expect dinner using base-bean

Good luck kid you're in a reverse beauty and beast situation. Do not let that princely motherfucker fall in love with your inner humanity or the spell will fail and you'll turn human again

[raevenlywrites]

Good news if you bite his ass you can start a pack together. Go forth. Enjoy the ball

[raevenlywrites]

You can bite a princess too if you want. Or a milkmaid, or a butler or whatever. Go nuts. The more the merrier

im watching a little doc on youtube about an 11th century castle, and theres a bit where they are talking to a group of older women who are working on a large hand embroidered tapestry commemorating its nearly 1000 years of history & into the modern era.. and off on the border they show a bit where the women have stitched themselves working on it into the piece itself, and it made me kinda emotional

how amazing to have a visual depiction of the women who spent literal years painstakingly stitching such a wonderful piece of art that historically would have gone uncredited

If you're wondering how things are going on bluesky, this brain genius is one of the engineers holding the site together.

People are yelling at him because he admitted been vibe coding the site for months and now he's having a meltdown about it. Things are great.

[kevinbikes]

Honestly incredible. If I had actually bothered to go into the industry I got my education in, guys like this would be my peers and my bosses and I frankly think I'd end up on the news if I had to spend most of my waking time around these guys.

[gwiggs]

This is correct.

Got a great ad encouraging people to dismantle surveillance equipment and then sell the guts at a pawn shop

[hunter-rodrigez]

I am all for dismantling surveillance equipment, but this is what the insides of a flock camera look like:

So no, these fucking things don't contain almost $400 worth of gold or over an ounce of silver. And good luck strangling a horse with about 50 cents worth of copper wire.

These things contain exactly what anyone with even the most basic knowledge about electronics would expect them to contain: a giant battery, a camera module, and a few circuit boards. None of which are particularly valuable.

I also can't think of a single device that contains anywhere near the amount of rare metal the original post claimed, other than maybe some super-accurate scientific measuring devices that cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Anyways, as far as individual components go, the solar panel is probably the most valuable part of the whole setup. And unlike the camera, it doesn't contain a GPS tracker.

[hunter-rodrigez]

This is the GPS tracker for anyone wondering:

I am pretty sure its primary function is to add GPS to the metadata of the footage and to keep track where cameras have been installed.

But since these cameras are battery powered, this thing will keep broadcasting its position even after you disconnect the solar panel and take down the camera from its mount.

You'll have to either disconnect the battery on-site or put the camera in a faraday cage and wait for the battery to die. Otherwise, they will be able to track you.

[weterpete]

Um no I'm pretty sure those are both switches
