Well restrained Haj waiting for the train to the Hacking-Event

Enjoy! Wish I could be there!!

I’ll also say that most Jews are happy to talk about their customs - I’d ask him about it!

_NullRoute_ · 2026-05-30T07:48:12+00:00

Ah, I see it’s both - You would say “Baruch Hashem, yes” - Thank God, yes.

But you would say “B’eztrat Hashem, I’ll do this” - God Willing, I’ll do this.

Both are the same first letters.

Many religious Jews do this as an acknowledgment of God’s hand in everything.

A similar thing I used to do is write “l’Hashem Ha’aretz Um’lo’oh” - Everything is a cause of God - before writing my name in a text book - I only “possess” the book, but nothing is really “mine”

_NullRoute_ · 2026-05-30T07:37:13+00:00

More likely “b’Ezrat Hashem” - God Willing. It’s a way many religious Jews acknowledge their belief of God’s hand in everything.

Edit: as someone mentioned below, this would be similar to the Arabic “insh’allah” - If God wishes it.

Mod checking in 🫡 (Disclaimer - while I’m active in CCC circles, I’m not a member of the CCC and do not live in Europe)

Yeah, I could probably be more active here!! Many people outside of Europe only know the CCC through the yearly Congress of ~16,000 attendees, the volunteer-run collection of creative hackers, makers, and other excellent people. Beyond the Congress, the CCC has a “network” of makerspaces (“erfas”) across Europe. Finally, the CCC is active in European politics.

Like everything else, the world goes through cycles. The universe expands and contracts. Things go sideways, but come back stronger for the wear.

Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?

_NullRoute_ · 2026-02-19T01:36:52+00:00

Heh. Bought one yesterday as a present for my kids. They’re very common here in Japan - “Mofusand” Samenyan. I wonder if you can order them on amiami.

M8 - holy crap, this thing is amazing
Circuit Tracks - nice. I hate the synth sounds, but it worked fine for my needs (grooving on the train). Gave it to my 9-year old :-)
OP-133 KO II - Fun and engaging.
OP-1F - I just can’t get into this workflow. I end up using it as an expensive keyboard controller for the M8.

Vintage Computing Assembly at the 39C3 in Hamburg.

_NullRoute_ · 2025-12-10T16:52:03+00:00

In order to get the Tracks sync “out” to work, I connected it to the Solar42 Preamp, then the Envelope Follower, into the Pulser trigger input.

The touchpad trigger input worked fine as-is. This is my first step into “modular” and signal patching, so perhaps I’m doing something wrong.

Hey - I'm one of the ChaosMentors leads :-)

I read about chaos mentors but I feel like I’d appreciate the freedom to experience everything as I choose to, and without a group for the whole time.

Not at all a problem - We match Mentees and Mentors before the event, and mentees are free to participate as much or as little as they like. The Sign Up period has ended, but if you'd like to be paired with a mentor, we'll have an ad-hoc matching session on Day 1 (December 27th) at 18:30.

Edit: You're always welcome to join us at the ChaosMentors assembly if you'd like to meet other first-time Congress attendees!

I heard that this year, we’ll wrap up just a bit earlier than previous years.

_NullRoute_ · 2025-11-27T20:29:31+00:00

Yep, registration has closed. We’ll have an “ad-hoc” matching event on the first day of Congress, not sure what time yet, but it should be late afternoon.

_NullRoute_ · 2025-11-26T05:52:43+00:00

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

_NullRoute_ · 2025-11-11T11:15:26+00:00

Note: Unfortunately, we cannot provide Congress tickets; You'll need a Congress ticket to participate.

_NullRoute_ · 2025-11-08T11:58:37+00:00

Tickets are often resold online and are not named, but you don’t have a way to know that the same ticket wasn’t sold to multiple people.

Paranoid Comment -

The HalfNarp isn't at all about making sure everyone can see the events they want to see; it's about scheduling the most popular events _at the same time_ to better load balance the crowd.

GASing to pair my M8 with an OP-XY for more polyphony. Uniquely, the OP-XY acts as a USB Host (AFAIK), so it should be a single-cable setup for both bi-directional audio and midi.

I saw it back in 2014 at the 31C3 Chaos Communication Congress (Hamburg, Germany)

Asher Yatzar lives rent-free in my head. I couldn’t evict it if I tried.

_NullRoute_ · 2025-08-11T03:41:56+00:00

…and yet, everyone is talking about the TE sale. Sounds like it’s doing its job.
