The SIDKick pico ("SKpico") is a drop-in replacement for the SID 6581/8580 sound chips in the Commodore 64 and 128 computers. It has been designed as an inexpensive alternative to other replacements while not making compromises regarding quality. It consists of a simple interface board and a Raspberry Pi Pico (or compatible clone). The emulation is based on an extended version of reSID 0.16, and includes a few additional features.
Emulates the 6581 or the 8580 in single or dual SID mode. Has a built-in configuration menu that is accessed with a BASIC command (SYS 54301
for the c64, SYS 54333
for the c128). Supports stereo output if you hook a DAC up.
Uses surface mount components so this is not a project for the inexperienced or the faint of heart.
Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git. Unlike centralized code hosting platforms, there is no single entity controlling the network. Repositories are replicated across peers in a decentralized manner, and users are in full control of their data and workflow.
The Radicle protocol leverages cryptographic identities for code and social artifacts, utilizes Git for efficient data transfer between peers, and employs a custom gossip protocol for exchanging repository metadata. All social artifacts are stored in Git, and signed using public-key cryptography. Radicle verifies the authenticity and authorship of all data for you. Radicle is local-first, providing always-available functionality even without internet access. Users own their data, making migration, backup, and access easy both online and offline. The Radicle Stack comes with a CLI, web interface and TUI, that are backed by the Radicle Node and HTTP Daemon. It’s modular, so any part can be swapped out and other clients can be developed.

We design with ideal conditions in mind, but the world is far from ideal.
Design Under Pressure is a practical resource center to help you and your team proactively create products and services that hold up under stress cases.
When an aspect of a person or a context is pushed to an extreme, that's a stress case. Nobody is normal. As appealing as your "target demographic" looks, you don't actually control who will show up to use your design, and people are... well, human. That patient, reasonable, calm, healthy, able-bodied, literate, accurate, safe, well-intentioned, and happy user in your mind's eye doesn't actually exist. And, of course, people and environments that aren't "users" in the classical sense are very much part of your design.
Neofetch is a command-line system information tool written in bash 3.2+. Neofetch displays information about your operating system, software and hardware in an aesthetic and visually pleasing way.
The overall purpose of Neofetch is to be used in screen-shots of your system. Neofetch shows the information other people want to see. There are other tools available for proper system statistic/diagnostics.
The information by default is displayed alongside your operating system's logo. You can further configure Neofetch to instead use an image, a custom ASCII file, your wallpaper or nothing at all.
The goal of this project is to allow anyone to send and receive postcards from all over the world! The idea is simple: for each postcard you send, you will receive one back from a random postcrosser from somewhere in the world.
There are lots of people who like to receive real mail. Receiving postcards from different places in the world (many of which you probably have never heard of!) can turn your mailbox into a box of surprises — and who wouldn't like that?
STOMP provides an interoperable wire format so that STOMP clients can communicate with any STOMP message broker to provide easy and widespread messaging interoperability among many languages, platforms and brokers.
STOMP is a very simple and easy to implement protocol, coming from the HTTP school of design; the server side may be hard to implement well, but it is very easy to write a client to get yourself connected. For example you can use Telnet to login to any STOMP broker and interact with it!
I recently needed to go on holiday, and was staying in a hotel with WiFi. Out of an abundance of paranoia, I decided to try setup a “router” that could sit between my devices and the hotel network.
Requires a USB wifi NIC in addition because the Pi has only one wireless interface.
I don't know why they needed to name a travel router this, but whatever.

The EHT is an international collaboration that has formed to continue the steady long-term progress on improving the capability of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) at short wavelengths in pursuit of this goal. This technique of linking radio dishes across the globe to create an Earth-sized interferometer, has been used to measure the size of the emission regions of the two supermassive black holes with the largest apparent event horizons: SgrA* at the center of the Milky Way and M87 in the center of the Virgo A galaxy. In both cases, the sizes match that of the predicted silhouette caused by the extreme lensing of light by the black hole. Addition of key millimeter and submillimeter wavelength facilities at high altitude sites has now opened the possibility of imaging such features and sensing the dynamic evolution of black hole accretion. The EHT project includes theoretical and simulation studies that are framing questions rooted at the black hole boundary that may soon be answered through observations.
By linking together existing telescopes using novel systems, the EHT leverages considerable global investment to create a fundamentally new instrument with angular resolving power that is the highest possible from the surface of the Earth. Over the coming years, the international EHT team will mount observing campaigns of increasing resolving power and sensitivity, aiming to bring black holes into focus.
And it’s really more fucking perfect than the last guy’s.
Seriously, some minimal fucking things are needed to make this shit perfect.
Ten fucking declarations, a @media block, and one attribute.
That’s how much CSS and HTML it took to turn that grotesque pile of shit into this finally perfect masterpiece. It’s so fucking simple and it still has all the glory of the original perfect-ass website:
And it's fucking perfect.
Seriously, what the fuck else do you want?
You probably build websites and think your shit is special. You think your 13 megabyte parallax-ative home page is going to get you some fucking Awwward banner you can glue to the top corner of your site. You think your 40-pound jQuery file and 83 polyfills give IE7 a boner because it finally has box-shadow. Wrong, motherfucker. Let me describe your perfect-ass website:
This site doesn't care if you're on an iMac or a motherfucking Tamagotchi.
How the 6502's carry flag works under various conditions.
On this site, you will find in-depth content about Earth observation satellites and other related topics.
suyu is the continuation of the world's most popular, open-source, Nintendo Switch emulator, yuzu. It is written in C++ with portability in mind, and we actively maintain builds for Windows, Linux and Android.
We do not support or condone piracy in any form. In order to use suyu, you'll need keys from your real Switch system, and games which you have legally obtained and paid for. We do not intend to make money or profit from this project. This repo is based on Yuzu EA 4176.
2600.network is a public service for dial-up users. It's purpose is to allow users of old, vintage, and outdated hardware to dial in with real modems to real systems.
