Depending on the language, there might exist an automated tool for generating those kinds of diagrams from code.

If you’re really desperate, try using Tor. I’m not sure if Substack blocks Tor, but assuming it doesn’t, the Tor-browser’s anti-fingerprinting measures should be more than enough.

Edit: Just checked, Substack does not block Tor.

I had a bubble in an IV tube once, and asked about it (I wasn’t being put to sleep)!

Apparently it happens all the time. The thing at the end, just before the needle (sorry, I have no idea what it’s called) filters them out.

You may want to look into amateur radio (or you might not, it needs a licence after all).

I don’t really have any recommendations for you, but I would suggest you crosspost this to !amateur_radio@lemmy.radio

This looks a lot like floating point errors. There’s probably some math involved in exporting that causes these slight inaccuracies.

It probably isn’t too hard to write a short python script to go over the exported file, and round those values.

Nope, David Revoy does a lot of comics in this art style, and the Avian Intelligence parrot has been a recurring character in the last few.

I can also really recommend his comic series Pepper & Carrot, it has some very cool worldbuilding.

This one isn’t super well known, but for small projects I really like raylib, and raygui. It gets impractical for complex GUIs, but it does make it really easy to quickly start something from scratch.

It isn’t the first time someone built a heavily trapped, walled and patrolled border of that size.

Take a look at the Inner German Border. It was over 1300 km (approx. 810 mi) long, and was (average) about 5.5 km wide (a bit more than 3 miles).

From 1974 to 1979, 4956 people attempted to cross it, and only 229 (4.6%) actually made it.

Edited my comment to fix, thanks!

This is less of a source and more like a compilation of resources, but for anything spacecraft related I can always recommend Atomic Rockets. For this specifically, the page on Heat Radiators.

Not quite. This is from a fan comic based on the animated series The Owl House, which has an episode centered around the same body swap spell, but under very different circumstances.

Is the answer to this question yes?

amateur radio was illegal to encrypt

Amateur radio is still illegal to encrypt (with some exceptions for controlling satelites), because private communication isn’t the point of amateur radio.

Besides, (in most countries) there are some topics that are illegal to talk over amateur radio about, mainly stuff like politics and religion. You’re also not allowed to offer telecommunication services (i.e. pass messages on for others). Enforcing those sorts of laws would be impossible with encryption.

But to answer your question: I think we probably wouldn’t have had an internet. Authoritarian regimes thrive on stability and maintaining the status quo, I think someone high up would have quickly decided that developing that sort of tech is too risky.
