- Comment on Are there softwares to simulate enough electronics and microcontrollers to learn? 2 days ago:
Depends on what your focus is. If you want to build understanding of electronic components and how they interact through experimentation, Paul Falstad’s circuit simulator is a great start.
If you want to focus on digital logic, Logisim is great.
But here’s the thing: A microcontroller is controlled only through code. You want to learn electronics, you can simulate those. You want to learn about a specific microcontroller, read the manual for that controller.
You want to code on a microcontroller, get a microcontroller.

i used to do IT for a company that isolates and sells antibodies. the amount of money you can charge for what is basically a single drop of liquid is truly staggering.
also, they had freezers that went down to -90C for long-term storage, which was really cool.

- Comment on Game of the day - Return of the Obra Dinner - did you enjoy it? 2 weeks ago:
it’s a standout of its genre, definitely. i thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. i have no nostalgia for the apple ][ style it emulates but it really serves the art direction brilliantly.
i had a discussion with a friend about the obra dinn a few weeks ago. i told him how i enjoyed the “hidden in plain sight” fact that the letter you get with the pocket watch is signed “Henry Evans” and he basically lit up. turns out he had been stuck on the two ladies that were passengers, and he connected in real-time what must have happened to them just because i mentioned the name. i love that it’s the sort of game that gives you epiphanies.
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 3 weeks ago:
no it wasn’t. i backed the kickstarter. it was always an online game, it just had “solo” and “private” modes. and they didn’t get “so much money”, they got like 120% of their target. they were up against the star citizen kickstarter and that got all the hype.
my main issue with ED is that they focused on building a modern Elite rather than a modern Elite 4. Building upon the ideas of Frontier: First Encounters would have made a very different game.
X is more like Freelancer meets Euro Truck Simulator, in my experience.
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 3 weeks ago:
Elite 2: Frontier.
elite dangerous is very close but it doesn’t really capture the seamlessness you get from not having a landing mode or frame shifting. pioneer spaceship sim is a remake in the truest sense of the word, but a remaster would fix the ui issues the original had rather than just rolling with them.

- Comment on Sweden, Norway rethink plans for cashless societies over fears that fully digital payment systems would leave them vulnerable to Russian security threats 3 weeks ago:
there haven’t been card fees for end users in Sweden for many years. handling cash is a lot more expensive since you need somewhere secure to keep change, you loose time at the till handling the money, and you need to pay for someone to come pick it up. the time gained from just having the customers pay with card means businesses gladly swallow the fees.
and yes, i’m always surprised when going abroad how much more analog everything is. the nordics and Baltic’s are generally at about the same level (with Estonia way ahead), but the rest of the continent feels like it’s 10 years behind. I was once asked if I really wanted to pay with card in a corner shop in Leipzig, since the card fee was €10.
not that i’m a fan of the digitalisation, it makes marginalised groups even more marginalised. i see my elderly relatives struggling with it often.

one thing i know it does from GitHub issues is it changes the names of files you download to make them “clearer”, which breaks some tools for flashing firmware and lead to a spike of reports.

minecraft server binaries are a prime example of a “dedicated server”. tf2 is another. the alternative is a “listen server”, where one player acts as server. note that the term’s use in gaming has very little to do with the concept of a dedicated server in general use, aka a machine dedicated to running a service. in multiplayer games a dedicated server is just the name for a binary that contains no client.
anyway, the important distinction is whether the means for the game to continue existing is in the hands of the players or the company.
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 4 weeks ago:
the common understanding of “dedicated server” is a server binary you can download and run yourself. a “private server” is usually still hosted on the company’s hardware.

- Comment on Installing Jellyfin as a Podman Quadlet 1 month ago:
this is more focused for sure, but it lacks the enthusiasm of the original. if i was trying to do this for work, i would appreciate how quickly it gets to the point. however, it no longer reads like this is something you’re interested in. it reads a bit wooden. i get that would happen after you’ve been told to correct your style though.
to be clear, the original article doesn’t need to be rewritten. for the future though, when you want to tell the story of how you got something working, include your reasons for doing something a certain way. if you need a self-inflicted complication, that’s not really a part of it (unless it’s funny)
- Comment on Installing Jellyfin as a Podman Quadlet 1 month ago:
your writing overall is good! it’s just a matter of information priority.
here’s a tip, dunno how applicable it is but i use it when writing technical documentation:
for each step, explain to yourself why you’re doing it the way you are. if it turns out you caused the step to be needed, rather than it being required, you probably need to rethink, or at least add the explanation to the text.

no ü or double-k in swedish. “Helvetesskållat” would be a direct translation, but i personally prefer the simpler “AJSOMFAN”
