Any #Atari experts out there know where I can find out the max current draw from the 5V (pin 7) of a 2600 joystick port?
From the schematics it looks like it comes directly off a 7805 and the field service manual BOM lists a 78M05 which I think has a max 500mA with suitable heatsink. But that is powering the whole console...
But so far my searching is failing me with a definitive answer! :)

It's already been suggested that they'll be adding ads. Maybe people will object, maybe they won't.
I suspect most people don't consider their chats with an LLM to be anywhere near as private/sensitive as email, even though in reality they could be even moreso.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.
While talking to a colleague it came up that they have never sat on a cow. Like, not even once in their childhood.
Another colleague listening in admitted they also have never sat on a cow.
My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a cow.
🐃 🐄 🐮
Have you sat on a cow?
Please boost for scientific accuracy.
oh, yeah, i didn't think about that. I knew they used their own toolkit for the GUI, which usually means poor accessibility. Do you know if there are any DAWs that have good accessibility from the vendor without a plugin?
I have no experience with accessibility for desktop software, as I've only ever worked on the problem for websites. I should read up on AccessKit, I guess.

I learned that some people are using AI to generate a summary of my book!
I therefore decided to compete with AI by writing my own summary, which I am calling Over the Cliff Notes.
The Over The Cliff Notes are here:

I also linked to them on the main page:
terikanefield.com/whyextremism…
But nobody ever reads just the Cliff Notes, right?

Schon beeindruckend, wie @inwx das Login so kaputt gemacht hat, dass 1Password nicht mehr funktioniert. Gebt mir doch einfach ein Formular auf einer Seite und nicht so ein komisches Fenster.
Und die Barrierefreiheit ist auch ganz enttäuschend, vor allem, da man ja ganz klar unter das Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz fällt. Ich verstehe einfach nicht wie man 2025 relauncht ohne sich darüber Gedanken zu machen.
Und ich bin ansonsten so zufrieden.

Good job with the design, @thunderbird . Can you maybe replace the custom repeat pattern dropdown with buttons instead so that I can save a click?

Lately @mozilla @thunderbird has been a bit ass. It lets spam through to the desktop and mobile client, where other email clients (notably Evolution on Linux) don't. Even though I clearly mark something as spam, I still see it.
And this is even though Gmail itself blocks it and sends it to the spam folder.
I prefer the desktop version for email. But seeing spam just sucks.

I know Firefox has gone all in on AI, a choice I'm against.
Are there plans to integrate it into default Thunderbird or can I count on keeping it out of my email client of choice?
oh god did Qwen vibe code their email password reset because it thinks my email isn't valid so I can't recover whatever my password was (missing from my password manager...)
ffs stop using regex on email you dickheads
hahaha I had Claude comb through their 17MB of minified JS (yes it's that big on this page) to find it
● Excellent! I found it. The verifyEmail function uses a regex pattern to validate emails:
verifyEmail=e=>/^[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,6}$/.test(e)

FreeBSD 15.0 (almost)-RELEASE, using pkgbase, on my Ryzen 9 MiniPC (and compared to openSUSE Tumbleweed):
- Full disk encryption works beautifully via GELI, as usual.
- Installing KDE is easy and it works perfectly on Wayland.
- All my main apps work. Others will run via the Linuxulator or Wine (Linux browsers, WinBox for MikroTik, etc).
- The fan seems more relaxed.
- The system generally feels snappier.
- Native ZFS. I can autosnapshot every 5 minutes. If I try to do this with btrfs - snapshots of the home directory included and quotas enabled - the system hangs while handling them (which is why Tumbleweed doesn’t snapshot home by default).
- The media keys on my keyboard work, but volume control uses huge steps and 30 percent is already extremely loud. This can be fixed. The monitor brightness setting is also a bit off, but I don't care.
- amdgpu works perfectly.
- The wifi card works. I haven’t tested the speed because I immediately installed the realtek-re-kmod driver to use the 2.5 Gbit ethernet connection.
- Suspend doesn’t work. This is a big problem for me. It’s probably more psychological than technical, but I can’t leave the computer powered for hours when I’m not using it. I already have servers running 24/7 here. I even considered putting my Qotom FreeBSD server in a VM. It would probably work, but next summer it might be an issue because temperatures here aren’t low and spinning disks don’t love heat (and I don’t love their noise).
- It’s stable and reliable. I’ve done almost everything and it just works, as expected.
- Some small glitches remain, mostly due to missing configuration or packages (I didn’t tune anything. I just installed it and started using it).
A much smoother experience than a year ago, when I bought it.
Will I keep using FreeBSD on this minipc?
I’m not sure yet, since Tumbleweed works great and the lack of suspend really influences my choice. I'll contact Aymeric and try to offer some help to improve this.
For now, I’ll keep it on an external SSD and switch from time to time, especially when I know I’ll be using the minipc for hours.
I don't know if that's ever been true. I've had the same large workload on identical servers that takes Linux to hundreds or even 1000+ load average but FreeBSD handles it just fine staying under 100
Also FreeBSD can still be ssh'd into when the load average is near 1000, but Linux... good luck. You'll be waiting tens of minutes just for the shell prompt if you can get past the sshd
@feld My impression is that it didn't show up in the ability to process things in bulk - all scheduler stuff - so much as the ability to not use power at idle; think laptop battery life, for example.
But it's been a while since I've spent significant time with FreeBSD in an environment where idle-time power consumption was measurable, let alone mattered.
ooh i forgot to mention this trick I found posted somewhere online
hw.pci.do_power_nodriver=3
put that in your /boot/loader.conf and it will reduce power usage caused by any devices we don't have a driver for
@feld Oh, interesting. I'm curious why that's not a default! I wonder what the best way is to list driverless hardware.
Is this documented somewhere? The default is zero, and if "3" is magic there must be a range of options. Also, must it be in /boot/loader.conf? Seems like it could live in /etc/sysctl.conf, or is that too late?
OH:
Look, if Kubernetes insists on acting like a moody teenage kaiju who needs fifteen YAML scrolls and a blood sacrifice just to deploy a Hello World, then it deserves a nickname like kubey-boi.
He’s that problematic friend who:
• promises to “self-heal” but actually means “restart forever until you cry,”
• insists on a full 27-layer abstraction stack,
• shows up to your house, rearranges all your furniture, and calls it “desired state,”
• gaslights you with:
“It works on my cluster.”
