IMPORTANT BULLETIN
ATTENTION CYBERSPACE: CATASTROPHIC SEA-LEVEL RISE IMMINENT. THE INTERNET NEEDS YOU!
Please be advised: the next global tidal wave will fully submerge the entire United States of America (except California, Hawaii, and Burlington, Vermont weirdly) under the sea forever. Please reply with all the science fiction books I should put into my spaceship’s memory bank before fleeing the earth and flying to my space station orbiting Uranus hehe.
Hello all, I’m attempting to transition from through-hole perfboard circuit boards to my first smd pcb. Does anyone have any tips for getting started? I’ve started a project on kicad but I’m open to trying something different.
May the 7th be with you.
Civilization is collapsing- you have a few hours before the internet shuts down for good. What are you downloading to your cyberdeck?
May the 6th be with you.
If you're learning how to solder and you can smell chicken-you're holding the wrong end of the soldering iron.
Does anybody else have any implanted goodies? I have a rather old Dangerous Things chip in my hand that I want to upgrade but of course this means a minor surgery to first find it and then take it out. How does one find a doctor to do this? Should I pretended I don't know how it got there for fun?
Does anyone have experience with Orange Pi or other SBCs? I'm looking for something in the class of an 8gb pi 5 for an upcoming build. Open to trying something new.
Chooms! My cyberspace sci-fi book club is operational and we're reading our first book! Come check out Scoundrel's Sci-Fi Book Club!
Read if you're interested, contribute if you can, but if you like science fiction come say hi!
Has anyone here used Squareline Studio for an esp32 UI? This is my first time making a UI and I've got a few questions.
Thanks in advance!
I would rather have blood in my piss than piss in my blood
Anybody interested in starting a sci-fi book club? Maybe one book per month and a check in/discussion each week? We can try finding books with “free” accessible .ePubs. I know we’re all busy so this should be fun and low stakes.
I’m open to whatever! Let me know!
Hello I’m scoundrel, taking a cue from our great Khan.
Why you should follow me
- Satire and speculative shorts- dumb ideas I have about our dumb civilization, possibly entertaining

Space agencies all over the world couldn't believe their telemetry.
Slated for deorbit, the International Space Station had been abandoned. The crews departed. They took their experiments. They removed the hard drives and choice souvenirs. The Soyuz capsules were packed and fell away from the station- back to Earth. The last astronaut to leave even turned off the lights.
ISS made its final orbits as scheduled. Commercial air traffic over the Pacific was diverted. Point Nemo-the point farthest from...

After years of study and billions of dollars, virology researchers at the University of British Columbia have successfully isolated the Woke Mind Virus.

Uh, negative WellDweller, we’re not reading anything abnormal here. What was irregular about your radar returns?
