I could use some help debugging this switch mode power supply from a Screen 1030ai Drum Scanner. Would love some boosts.

All fuses are good, esr of all caps are good, rectifier is good (diode test and output voltage), no shorted or open resistors, no obvious signs of damage.

The power supply turns on briefly, then turns off (on all output voltages). Which seems like a protection circuit type fault. But I can’t find any documentation on the power supply. At this point my next best bet would be to start pulling capacitors to see if I could find a bad one, but not having any really good theories is bugging me.

If you or anyone you know have some ideas of what I should test next let me know!

⚠️ Just a quick reminder that version 8.2.4 of #PeerTube was released last week. This version addresses critical and medium security vulnerabilities, among other things.

If you haven't already, please update your platform quickly.

Anyone here knowledgeable about the growth of digital surveillance infrastructure in Latin America? I've read a few articles about Mexico and Guatemala but am no means an expert and am hoping to learn more.

I skateboarded to the @zlb_berlin to do some wifi-ing and was reminded that they have their mastodon handle posted on the front door. Bravo!

We now show alt text in the fediverse! Now alt text from photos in your blog...

We now show alt text in the fediverse! Now alt text from photos in your blog posts gets sent out over ActivityPub, so your images are more accessible to your readers and followers there.

Alt text (meaning alternative text) lets you add a description of any images you include in your posts. This is especially helpful to readers who are blind or have low vision, and use screen readers to consume your posts — instead of an empty space where your image is, the screen reader can read aloud the description you provide, giving them the full context of everything you’re sharing.

In our Plain Text editor, you can use standard Markdown to add alt text in the brackets before your image URL:

![A screenshot of the Insert Image modal, showing fields for the image URL, alt text, and optional title.](https://i.snap.as/71LVK9TQ.png)

In our Rich Text editor, you can use the top menu option: Insert → Image to find a Description (alt text) field, where you can describe the image:

Alt text on Write.as has been here since day one. But especially with it carrying over to the fediverse now, we’d highly encourage writers to make an effort to include it more often in their posts!

I was very surprised that Shapeshifter doesn't even have its own Wikipedia page, Unsanity does: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsanity but its rather sparse for how important for an era of Mac OS it was

How my strange upbringing intersects with @TheOnion...

I recently came across @rosyna talking about trying to bring back `haxies` and discovered that they were part of Unsanity. If you are not familiar, this is the krew who made Shapeshifter which thus enabled "Mac Theming" to flourish (@macthemes) for as long as it did. A lot of my early childhood interest in computers started by trying to figure out how get various themes installed & working. This screenshot is of Somatic by @dlanham that I rocked for a long time in the early Mac OS X Tiger era.

It's important to study our history

#OtD 11 Aug 1964 18-year-old Scottish anarchist Stuart Christie was arrested in Madrid, Spain with explosives to assassinate dictator Franco. He was wearing a kilt, which confused the Argentinian press, who described him as "a Scottish transvestite" https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8273/stuart-christie-arrested

The US Attorney’s Office in Minneapolis has charged fifteen people with “conspiracy to impede federal officers,” accusing them of defending their neighborhoods from ICE.

Working with anarchist artist NO BONZO, we've made a support poster to inform people about the case. Please print these out and post them everywhere!

This prosecution is a part of NSPM-7, the Trump administration’s initiative to turn the War on Terror against “antifa”—which is to say, against anyone who opposes fascism. The goal of these charges is to intimidate people out of standing up for each other. Make no mistake, this prosecution is directed at all who do not welcome authoritarianism. If it succeeds, they will repeat this strategy again, targeting more and more people.

In the face of fascist violence, the only route to safety is collective organizing. Solidarity is self-preservation. The harder it is for them to capture today’s targets, the longer it will take them to target the rest of us.

i wrote https://arnes.space/fleck/lodestone/ a while ago. it's a search engine that allows you to find stuff you fav'ed on the fediverse, even if your instance does not support extended search functionality.

i was just able to find a meme again (see attachment) because people on the fediverse care about adding alt text to images. the curb cut effect is real!

anyways, let me know if you're using lodestone or if you're trying it out, i'd be interested if other people find it useful at all

HECK yeah
