    Forget your Nixies and Numitrons, Soviet-era pixel arrays are where it's at in vacuum displays! https://hackaday.com/2018/04/25/adventures-in-gas-filled-tube-arrays/ source: https://twitter.com/hackaday/status/989232843363639297

    1. Adventures In Gas Filled Tube Arrays
      By Brian Benchoff from Hackaday

      Vacuum tubes are awesome, and Nixies are even better. Numitrons are the new hotness, but there’s one type of tube out there that’s better than all the rest. It’s the ИГГ1-64/64M. This is a panel of tubes in a 64 by 64 grid, some with just green dots, some with green and orange, and even a red, green, blue 64 by 64 pixel matrix. They’re either phosphors or gas-filled tubes, but this is the king of all tube-based displays. Not even the RGB CRTs in a Jumbotron can match the absurdity of this tube array.

      [Muth] got his hands on a few of these panels, and finally he’s displaying images on them. It’s an amazing project that involved finding the documentation, translating it, driving the tubes with 360 Volts, and figuring out a way to drive 128 inputs from just a few microcontroller pins.

      First, the power supply. These panels require about 360 Volts to light up. This is significantly higher than what would usually be found in a Nixie clock or other normal tube-based display. That’s no problem, because a careful reading of the datasheet revealed a circuit that brings a normal-ish 180 Volt Nixie power supply up to the proper voltage. To drive these pixels, [Muth] settled on a rather large PIC18F microcontroller with eight tri-state buffers. The microcontroller takes data over a serial port and scans through the entire framebuffer. All in all, there are eight driver boards, 736 components, and 160 wires connecting everything together. It’s a lot of work, but now [Muth] has a 64×64 display that’s green and orange.

      You can check out a ‘pixel dust’ demo of this display in action below.

    17 journalists from turkish newspaper #Cumhuriyet have sentenced with terror-related charges.

    'chairman, Akin Atalay, has already been in jail for more than 500 days'

    today has been the #CumhuriyetTrial.
    while informations about the results are a bit conflicting, I leave away the numbers:
    most are facing years to come in prison.

    #Turkey

    I introduced our daughter to the old Sapporo Ichiban commercial (to my wife's chagrin). It's all she wants to watch now.

    just one of *many* journalists in #turkey being imprisoned.

    ' #Cumhuriyet journalist Akın Atalay has been sentenced to 7 years 3 months 15 days in prison for 'aiding a terrorist organization''

    ...and yet, 'your' goverment is very likly to have and even still support this.
    Help them to be motivated in stop doing this.

    This week alone, 4 dogs have been poisoned in a village near mine in Greece... and there is one that lives there, Danae, who I absolutely need to rescue from this danger. She is about 2 years old, fixed, ca 25kg, super friendly and playful.

    If you know ANYONE who could either foster her or was hoping to adopt a dog: please, please get in touch with me!
    I have to deal with a lot of heartbreak caring for Greek strays, but I cannot lose her. I cant take her myself, but will bring her to Germany/ Berlin.

    „Sämtliche Bezugnahme […] auf #Kurdistan und dem Krieg in #Afrin wurde untersagt und von der #Polizei unterbunden.“

    „Die Polizei hatte die komplette Straße abgeriegelt und die Kundgebung mit Beamten umstellt und somit jegliche Öffentlichkeit verhindert.“

    So I just met one of the 3 (!) maintainers of F-Droid. They are desperately looking for more volunteers as they are responsible for 1500 repositories between them.

    For people wanting to help updating/unblocking/adding apps, have a look at our issue tracker: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata and request for packaging tracker: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/issues

    You'll find docs here: https://f-droid.org/en/docs/ and drop by on #fdroid on freenode if you need help.
