Maybe they were high salary for their band, maybe they were not Yes people. But fact is a lot of surprising high performing and producing folks were magically deemed people non gratas. Years from now people will look back at this and finally call out the leaders for what they are and did. Re [03:44] schestowitz[TR2] member their names!

  • Writing EEPROMs on FreeBSD with minipro

    I love my little Minipro T48 USB IC programmer, though until recently I thought I needed backdoored Windows (or Wine) to program it. Turns out there’s a minipro project that lets us do it from the shell. Awesomesauce! [15:40] schestowitz[TR2]
