Same in Canada.

Please. The Western European, anti-immigrant voting slavs have nothing on our North American balcanic compatriots. We vote right in record proportions! For example the Canadian Bulgarians voted twice harder for the Revival party.

Don’t worry, if the current administration doesn’t deliver for its citizens and manage to introduce uncomfortable regulation on social media, the alternative is likely to get a stronger result the next time around. The day is saved for now but the processes that lead to where we are haven’t stopped.

Loblaw’s out of control.

What’s Meloni’s role in this?

Pretty sure there are studies on this showing overrepresentation of dark triad traits in the upper class.

It’s interesting that an article about productivity of labour doesn’t mention productivity. Her Merz should perhaps persuade the owner class and himself to invest in labour productivity increases such as training, equipment, digitalization and automation. Working more hours is a marginal improvement if it even produces higher output at all.

I see Saddam Hussein.

Also, we’re doing our part. They’re still halfway from their nodest goal though.

One reason it’s important is because changes in the amount of dollars outside of the US changes the value of the US in exchange of other currencies. As long as the debt is USD-denominated, the US government can always pay it back with the result of the USD value changing (probably depends on volume, speed, and many other variables).

It’s strange and I’m deeply skeptical anything would materialize.

American corps right now:

As an idiot, do I wire capacitors in parallel to Vcc and GND of the buffer? What value?

Also I have the same kind of buffer from TI. Is there any sense to change the Nexperia IC and see if the TI fares better?

E: I read on decoupling capacitors. They go between Vcc and GND. The suggested general values I see from SparkFun are 0.1µF, 1µF and 10µF. Does that make sense?

The output is stuck at low.

The input keeps alternating high/low. I’ve checked by disconnecting it and then measuring it. I’ve also checked by substituting the source for identical brand and model spare unit.

E: Something really bizarre to me happened during testing today. I decided to change the buffer power supply to another 5V rail to isolate the DC-DC from the equation. The buffer still got stuck. But that’s not the funny part. After getting stuck, I disconnected the 5V power to the buffer to let it rest. To my shock, the output went high. I cycled the input and to my surprise output signal at the bike computer was correctly registering high/low. With no power going into the buffer. 🫢 That is, the buffer has its input, output and GND wired, 5V disconnected. I never tested this scenario before because I was disconnecting the whole circuit, upstream of the DC-DC, which also feeds the torque sensor (input). I wish I understood enough to explain why this unpowered IC makes the bike computer recognize the signal it otherwise wouldn’t. 😂

E2: For completeness, the original problem that necessitated this whole operation was that when directly connected to the computer, the signal low never fell below 1.2V and the computer’s threshold for registering low is around 1-1.1V. High was registering correctly.

I could imagine that some specialized models could actually be useful for this use case. Perhaps even OSS.

Haven’t done ops in a while, is there any good automated system that can block IPs on individual basis based on activity patterns? E.g. trying to login with the wrong SSH password too many times, but relevant to our use case?

From what I read, ONxpress have been laying off a lot of maintenance/operations staff.

No, it means large streaming services have to pay some of their Canadian revenue towards CanCon.

Would you look at that, pretty straightforward.

Arr Stack and CBC Gem.

I seed CanCon. 🍁
