I am offended by this picture. 😂

Which on the whole I think is a good thing since we've seen that significant instability often affects most of us.

a near 50% increase in three months.

This makes sense. I recall thinking after Israel's previous attack and dismantling Hezbollah that if I were the Ayatollah, I'd now be going full speed towards a nuclear weapon test, as that's the only thing that can secure my regime's survival and by extension the stability of the country (in whatever state it exists). After the last attack, that pressure is that much higher.

Bibi told the Iranian people to rise up against their government, and I...agreed with him?

Well, consider how similar regime changes have gone in recent history. Instability, failed states, mass terrorist organization. It's not impossible to get a better outcome if Iran's regime is overthrown, but odds aren't on their side. And then you have the actions of Bibi when this sort of thing happened in Syria - taking territory, bombing them, despite their pleadings for peace. None of this is good for getting a stable democratic governance as societies under threat go authoritarian to be able to act more quickly and efficiently in order to protect themselves. So while on the surface you might agree with Bibi, if you think about what that actually means, Bibi might want something else than that. Another failed state they can bomb if they feel any threat without repercussions because "terrorism" could be a lesser threat than a democratic economic and inevitably military power with much larger population that can wipe Israel if attacked.

Are they going to find a dead whistleblower? 😄

Hm. What about people born in regions with pre-existing heat stress?

The law reform also allows police to fine a person operating any form of transport, including a bicycle, if they are found to be intoxicated and likely to present a danger to others.

Shit 😄

Influential commentator Tucker Carlson urges Trump to ‘drop’ Israel

Carlson has been a leading voice within right-wing circles calling for Trump to avoid being dragged to war with Iran by Israel.

After Israel attacked Iran, the talk-show host, who spoke at the Republican National Convention last year, said the US should not support Netanyahu’s “war-hungry government” in the conflict.

“If Israel wants to wage this war, it has every right to do so. It is a sovereign country, and it can do as it pleases. But not with America’s backing,” the Tucker Carlson Network morning newsletter read.

It added that a war with Iran could “fuel the next generation of terrorism” or lead to the killing of thousands of Americans in the name of a foreign agenda.

“It goes without saying that neither of those possibilities would be beneficial for the United States,” the newsletter said. “But there is another option: drop Israel. Let them fight their own wars.”

Interesting 🤔

Everyone's rushing in rebranding / customizing these pumps. There's some pretty good models for what they actually cost on AliExpress. I recently set out to find the exact model SILCA rebadged and I found it, but then I found another that looked better and ordered that. It's been pretty good so far. Looks very well made.

Well, if people in the government really don't understand the data collection is warrantless, then there's a chance they'd change that, given appropriate pushback of course.

 

Corporate VPN startup Tailscale secures $230 million CAD Series C on back of “surprising” growth

Pennarun confirmed the company had been approached by potential acquirers, but told BetaKit that the company intends to grow as a private company and work towards an initial public offering (IPO).

“Tailscale intends to remain independent and we are on a likely IPO track, although any IPO is several years out,” Pennarun said. “Meanwhile, we have an extremely efficient business model, rapid revenue acceleration, and a long runway that allows us to become profitable when needed, which means we can weather all kinds of economic storms.”

Keep that in mind as you ponder whether and when to switch to self-hosting Headscale.

 

Hey gang, I'm considering using DNS4EU in Canada. My ping to their servers is ~130ms. That's way longer than anything local which is on the order of 1-5ms. Apart from resolving uncached entries taking longer, is there any contraindication to using a DNS server with high latency?

 

Bill 10, which holds landlords criminally liable for any drug activity on their properties, became law on June 4th.

Bill 10, put forward by Ontario Premier Doug Ford, passed into law on June 4th. Subtitled the Protect Ontario Through Safer Streets and Stronger Communities Act, it includes a clause that would hold landlords criminally liable for any illicit drug activity on their properties. The Schedule 8 clause targets drug trafficking, but also covers any possession that might indicate an intent to sell, even if it's just a few pills or a joint.

 

Democratic voters prefer a populist message over one that focuses on an "abundance agenda," according to a new poll by Demand Progress.

I have a simple circuit where 5V signal is fed into a buffer (Nexperia 74LVC1G07), then from the buffer into another device. The buffer is fed 5V by a switching DC-DC (R-78HB5.0-0.5/W). After it's been off for a while, the buffer works, the signal is recognized by the receiver. This continues for some time, minutes, to tens of minutes. Then the buffer stops working. The DC-DC still works as well as the source. If I unplug it and let it sit for an hour, it resets back to working for a while until it stops.

Context:

The setup runs on an ebike 36V battery. Theres a hub motor connected to the same battery (via power controller). The signal source is a torque sensor. The destination is a bike computer.

Any idea what could be causing this? I don't know much about electronics. I learn specific bits to do something but I'm ignorant otherwise. E.g. I know what a buffer does, I understand how it works on high level but I have no clue for example how it could be affected by the rest of the system electrically through noise, EMI, etc. My physics intuition here makes me think there must be some charge buildup happening which dissipates with time when turned off. I've no idea if this is remotely valid, or if it is how to fix it. Any ideas are appreciated!
