The Elements of Typographic Style (unfortunately an old edition in black/white. spend the money and buy a print copy of an updated edition in color, it's really well worth the money!)

we think this might be helpful an is a joy to watch: analog recording workflow with a neve 81xx-series console and the melvins being recorded. sylvia massy explains the characteristics and awesome features of this early-70ies vintage neve console perfectly.

I think I got it. there was no CNAME entry for the domain root - ie. without a `www.` subdomain. For me it auto redirects to the .com domain and upgrades to HTTPS. do you still see any errors?
I can't find the HTTPS error / misconfiguration. everything re-directs correctly here and is auto upgrraded?
which one? I've migrated tbe domain and DNS records to save on OpEx last weekend might be my screw up there. :/
some of our work the past week getting everything ready for modding and soldering more neve and API clones, getting PCBs manfactured and panelized and then SMT (where possible) for our own API2520 and JE-990 clones. in support of the 500 series/GroupDIY community & upcoming projects (top secret :))
There's a patreon we're working on as it makes much more sense for posts than our website (which will mirror). An option for early access to Open Hardware projects that are still in development/early test runs. All info & posts will be open/public domain, some products only after 12/18mo. (R&D cost)
for those who haven't been folllowing on chaos.social or facebook (I understand, believe me!). We have been working on our own analog audio designs, from SMT PCBs, soldering & modding clones of classic console pre-amps, EQs and compressors to modding existing gear/kits. check secondorderharmonics.eu

too much text apparently I've been comparing TRMS Multimeters expensively bought (years ago) and new cheap Chinese, very positively surprised: chaos.social/@azet/115573...
MIT OpenCourseWare has excellent material on Secure Hardware Design (2025 spring): shd.mit.edu/2025/
excellent readings, lectures and materials also labs! amazed.
interesting new findings on DRAM errors related to solar/cosmic rays in large compute environments

Calling all makers, breakers & teachers! Workshops are debuting at #BSidesVienna 0x7E9. It’s the first time—your chance to set the tone. CFP is open now.

ever wondered how to design directed energy weapons with OTC components, cheap china parts? and a custom PCB that we let the MuskAI design & we verify. why not add industrial/rugged components, burst, AM, FM, freq hopping & a epaper status display?

It begins! On November 22nd, 2025, #BSidesVienna is back at Urania Sternwarte. Fresh insights, familiar faces, and the same legendary venue. More to come—stay tuned. bsidesvienna.at/venue/
did you know NASA maintains it's own cryptography library for space up/down link and telemetry among other things? it's used with the core flight system for example.

there's yet another stupid proposal - this time for debugging not middle box vendors - in the TLS working group to standardize key export among other encrypted traffic details. please don't. cryptolibs provide these & we all know how to handle wireshark.
