This is a reimplementation in KiCad of Don Froula's (http://projectmf.org/) PIC-based bluebox. The circuit was by Don Froula and the board layout was by Phil Lapsley (http://explodingthephone.com). It is so named because of Don's production of a close replica to the bluebox pictured in the October 1971 Esquire article "Secrets of the Little Blue Box." This version is based upon the ATtiny85 microcontroller.

There are three branches in this repository. Branch 'v1' is as close a duplicate of the original board as I can manage. As is, this board forms its own lid for the Radio Shack 230-1801 enclosure. The 'v2' branch is modified such that it can fit in the bottom of the Radio Shack enclosure. That one is probably a better choice for replicating Don's replica. The master branch has been modified to fit a Hammond 1591XXM dimensions 3.3" x 2.2" or 85mm x 56mm) enclosure, which I feel is of much better quality and utility.

This board requires six volts DC. Two or four CR2032 coin cells can be mounted in onboard holders or six volts applied to an external power header. Keystone 103 holds one cell each. Keystone 1026 and MPD BH800S hold two cells each stacked. I chose to try the MPD BH800S because I was uncertain if the Keystone 1026 would fit within the confines of the case.

FreeDOS is a complete, free, DOS-compatible operating system that you can use to play classic DOS games, run legacy business software, or develop embedded systems. While we provide some utilities, you should be able to run any program intended for MS-DOS. Pretty much any program that works on MS-DOS will work on FreeDOS. You can also use FreeDOS on a network! However, you may experience problems running Windows on FreeDOS. For example, Windows standard-mode works on FreeDOS, but ‘386-mode Windows for Workgroups 3.11 does not.

Yggdrasil - End-to-end encrypted IPv6 networking https://yggdrasil-network.github.io
Sat 25 Jun 2022 06:42:27 PM PDT archive.org

Yggdrasil is an overlay network implementation of a new routing scheme for mesh networks. It is designed to be a future-proof decentralised alternative to the structured routing protocols commonly used today on the Internet and other networks.

The current implementation of Yggdrasil is a lightweight userspace software router which is easy to configure and supported on a wide range of platforms. It provides end-to-end encrypted IPv6 routing between all network participants. Peerings between nodes can be configured using TCP/TLS connections over local area networks, point-to-point links or the Internet. Even though the Yggdrasil Network provides IPv6 routing between nodes, peering connections can be set up over either IPv4 or IPv6.

This is still an alpha-stage project and there may be some breaking changes in the future. Despite that, Yggdrasil is generally stable enough for day-to-day use and a small number of users have been using and stress-testing Yggdrasil quite heavily for a variety of use cases.

fq is inspired by the well known jq tool and language and allows you to work with binary formats the same way you would using jq. In addition it can present data like a hex viewer, transform, slice and concatenate binary data. It also supports nested formats and has an interactive REPL with auto-completion.

It was originally designed to query, inspect and debug media codecs and containers like mp4, flac, mp3, jpeg. Since then it has been extended to support a variety of formats like executables, packet captures (including TCP reassembly) and serialization formats like JSON, YAML, XML, ASN1 BER, Avro, CBOR, protobuf.

In summary it aims to be jq, hexdump, dd and gdb for files combined into one.

What Companies Can Do Now to Protect Digital Rights In A Post-Roe World https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/05/what-companies-can-do-now-protect-digital-rights-post-roe-world

The increasing risk that the Supreme Court will overturn federal constitutional abortion protections has refocused attention on the role digital service providers of all kinds play in facilitating access to health information, education, and care—and the data they collect in return.

In a post-Roe world, service providers can expect a raft of subpoenas and warrants seeking user data that could be employed to prosecute abortion seekers, providers, and helpers. They can also expect pressure to aggressively police the use of their services to provide information that may be classified in many states as facilitating a crime.

Whatever your position on reproductive rights, this is a frightening prospect for data privacy and online expression. That’s the bad news.

The Unofficial Homestuck Collection https://bambosh.github.io/unofficial-homestuck-collection/
Tue 21 Jun 2022 05:16:08 PM PDT archive.org

The Unofficial Homestuck Collection is a heavily customised browser, built from the ground up to support Homestuck and its related works. Flashes? We got 'em. The collection runs Flash content natively, providing the most authentic Homestuck experience possible.

Don't get it twisted though, because "browser" in this context doesn't mean "online". The Unofficial Homestuck Collection is completely self contained, and never has to connect to the internet once you have it downloaded.

From the very beginning, The Unofficial Homestuck Collection has been designed to work as a safe way for new readers to get their teeth into the Homestuck universe. If you so choose, all future content will be carefully gated off until your progress in Homestuck makes it safe to view.

We've got complete control over the browser, so you'd better believe we're taking advantage of it. Mid 2000's quality bitcrushed Flash audio? Nah, man. Almost every single flash in Homestuck has been painstakingly reworked with the highest quality music available. You have to hear it to believe it. Want to use themes on every page? Go nuts, I'm not the boss of you. Arrow key navigation? Automatically opening pesterlogs? You got it. Want absolutely none of the above? That's also an option! It's Homestuck, the way you want it.

There are even third-party mods.

Download the application, download the assets. Done.

The Transactor Magazine https://www.commodore.ca/commodore-gallery/the-transactor-magazine/
Tue 21 Jun 2022 12:49:15 PM PDT archive.org

The Transactor was started life in 1978 as a Commodore Business Machines publication used to explain low level details of the Commodore PET. In 1982 it was reborn as a bimonthly independent magazine published out of Milton Ontario (Toronto) covering all 8bit Commodore’s. This revised magazine used the slogan new slogan was “The Tech News Journal for Commodore Computers” and was paid for through advertising and subscription prices. A quick scan of the covers below and you will be able to see when this change occurred. The Commodore Transactors were mass produced using a very inexpensive mimeograph technology while the independent magazine was created using a proper printing press.

Both publications were known for their depth. They covered hardware hacking in detail and were read by serious users. One issue even boasted that it was 95% advertising free right on the cover.

Encoding ASCII in DNA - a proposal for a standard https://www.aleph.se/Trans/Individual/Body/ascii.html
Mon 20 Jun 2022 02:24:43 PM PDT archive.org

Once we start editing DNA on a large scale, we will need to keep track of what we do, revision histories, comment the new genes and add copyright notices. This is a suggested standard of entering ASCII information into the genome:

We will use 4-base codons to encode 7-bit ASCII. I know it is a bit primitive, but I think it does well enough and we might want to use the extra bit (see below). Each base codes two bits, and the complementary base codes the inverse:

A: 00 G: 01 C: 10 T: 11

Thus each character will be coded as four bases, read in the canonical 5'->3' direction.

The letters 'DNA' will thus become

01000100 01001110 01000001
 G A G A  G A T C  G A A G

or GAGAGATCGAAG.

The problem when reading a DNA string is: which strand should we read? If we read the complementary strand, we will get an inverted string backwards. But since we use 7-bit ascii, we can test to see if every 8th bit is a one or zero, and deduce which side we are on. The reading process thus tries out the eight starting frames, and chooses the one which gives an unbroken stretch of ones or zeros. If the stretch are zeros, the bases are read and converted, if they are ones they are read to the end of the message, inverted and reversed. Note that some errors can become detectable this way, as interruptions of the stretches of similar bits.

To delineate the comments, we need markers. A standard could be the sequence corresponding to "COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT..." repeated a number of times (we don't want to use a long stretch of similar bases, since it would influence the bending of DNA, which might lead to unwanted effects).

A problem is that we might accidentally create active regions in the DNA with these comments; ideally we should choose a coding that minimizes the biological effects of the comment. Methylating the cytosine bases will also inactivate the comment. If it can be marked as an intron it could also be placed inside exons, making sure the comment will follow the gene it belongs to.

Thanks to John D. Gleason for the methylating and intron ideas.
