I really want to know all 506 people who bought this Faraday cover for their WiFi router. And this person who complains "slight interference with my signal strength"... And this other guy who isn't "feeling any radiation sickness" BUT he's happy the "Wifi isn't being blocked" #faraday #dummies

Someone claiming faraday cover is interfereing with their signal strength

#UnDiaComoHoy 22 de septiembre de 1791 nace Michael #Faraday, científico estudioso de los campos magnéticos.

Hab dann doch deren Docker Image gedebuggt und nach ner guten Stunde zusammen mit nem Kollegen einen #Workaround gefunden...

Leute, testen die bei #Faraday ihre Produkte nicht?!

Der Bug, den wir hier gejaget haben ist seit mindestens 11 Monaten in the wild...

Les événements du 25 aout; le décès de Michael Faraday.
En 1867, Michael #Faraday décède chez lui. Né le 22 septembre 1791, physicien et chimiste, il est connu pour ses travaux sur l’électromagnétisme, la chimie et l’électrolyse. Une unité physique a été nommée en son honneur, le Farad, qui mesure la capacité électrique d’un condensateur.

#Faraday was not impressed by italian women either.

"Le donne italiane sono sfacciate, pigrissime e sporchissime. Come dunque volete fare una comparazione tra loro e l'Inglese?" (in italian)

["Italian women are cheeky, very lazy and very dirty. So how do you want to compare them to English?"]

#Faraday liked people in #Italy far, far less, however.

"The civilisation in Italy seems to have hastened with backward steps in latter years.."

"...only degenerate people, making no efforts to support the glory that their ancestors left them, but allowing it it and their works to fall into obscurity".

For reasons I will once explain, I am becoming a conoisseur of Michael #Faraday life and correspondance.

These are his (not too flattering) feelings about the people he met in #France (mostly in Paris), during his first trip abroad following his master, Sir. Humphry Davy, in 1814 (he was 23 at the time), in a letter he sent to his friend Abbott.

#science #physics #astronomy

"I have found the French people in general a communicative, brisk, intelligent and attentive set of people; but their attentions were to gain money, and for their intelligence they expect to be paid .... Their manners are very insinuating and kind...their conversation vivd and uninterrupted , but though it dwells for hours on the same subject, you can scacely make out what the subject is, for it is certainly the most confined, the most uninteresting and inapplicabile conversation I have met with."

Chemistry World: Benzene at 200…

In 1825, Michael Faraday discovered one of the most fascinating compounds in #chemistry: benzene. While isolating the components of oily residues of illuminating gas, #Faraday identified a mysterious liquid, with a peculiar aromatic smell, which would go on to transform the landscape of chemistry...

Why is #Matrix so bad?

I really want to love Matrix, but it's terrible. Let's not get into that it's more #IRC than Discord, and there's a reason why #Discord, despite its drawbacks managed to get such a big mind share, that's beside the point, but relevant and we'll come back to how.

Many different things I have installed offer instant messages as a way to follow communities, get support, etc and I really don't wanna use something I use personally or I have issues with due to whatever corporate fuckeries they undertake. This means I generally want to avoid #Telegram, #Signal or #Discord.

As a result, I ended up leaning into using a Matrix. It feels like the best of the rest and that's because it's lead by a bunch of old men who don't understand why people prefer Discord over IRC.

Anyway, what made me really commit was that I finally found a client that could do multiple accounts. So I had #Faraday installed and though a bit temperamental, things were working fine.

One month ago, Faraday updated, because it's forked from an old version of #Schildichat and shit was outdated. So after some prompting the developer updated it a bit. It broke the client completely and wouldn't open. I impatiently waited and one month later a new update was released that still never fixed my issue. I thought, no way can the developer and #FDroid be that collectively incompetent, which means it's probably on my end. So I cleared storage on my other phone and the app opened. Hooray!

So I ran to my main phone and reset storage. Finally Faraday opened and then it began… Or didn't. Because once I logged in and it crashed, as it does, it was stuck on the Initial Sync, waiting for a server response. I didn't wanna be impatient, so I waited and waited and waited and nothing changed. Clear cache, clear storage, uninstall and reinstall, nothing changed.

So I'm thinking something has to be wrong, so eventually I said let me check with a stock app, so I grab #ElementX and log in and suddenly I get this stuff about authentication and I'm like WTF?

Now I swear down. I hate #privacy zealots. If you work in software, get them away from your decision making process. I don't dispute they have valuable input, but it's at the cost of the end product, every single time.

So I'm there trying to authenticate a device and I'm stressing because I just want all my old chats back. These aren't even private chats, they're public chats. I just don't wanna have to go hunting down room addresses again. But Matrix is making this harder than it needs to be and seem scarier than it needs to be.

In the end I realised that I didn't have another device to authenticate me and I didn't have the encryption codes saved. I ended up trying to circumvent it by using a web based client, which didn't work. And after some anxiety, I said fuck it and reset and then I'm finally in and find all chats preserved. But now at the bottom of all the rooms it says it's not encrypted and I'm like, fuck!

Turns out this has nothing to do with the encryption before. I found this out later. Anyway, so I'm trying to authenticate Element X using the browser and that refuses to work, because switching screens is bad, so I'm forced to use two devices. Give me strength! And then hilariously the Element X doesn't want to authenticate anything else. Yay, you're useful.

So my question is, when all these old arse developers who have clearly dreamed the same dream for fifty years were sitting around, why didn't anyone ask why it needed to be so hard. Secret agents are using Signal not Matrix. Even if you were adamant, why couldn't you just use a #TOTP? Problem solved, less friction. Why_can't_you_just_be_normal.gif

Anyway, now that I'm back in, I try Faraday again and it's still not working. I'm forced to give it up, I actually didn't mind the #UX and the icon is better than Schildichat. So I search for a new client with multi account support and the only choices are cross platform clients, ugh. I end up going with #FluffyChat and the UX isn't great, which is part and parcel of anything developed to run across platforms. I would rather something someone made for Android with love and understanding every time. But alas.

Even then, I had to log into the web to authenticate, because for some reason we can't just have a #2FA TOTP pop-up. Ugh!

Oh and the mind share thing was because they were targeting modern needs as opposed to trying to recreate an out of favour platform or bury people with terrible UX.

A classical #electromagnetism experiment in this time of the year (i.e. towards the end of my EM course): magnetic breaking acting on a falling magnet (home version).

The left magnet just falls in free fall, the right one gets braked by the induced magnetic field within the aluminum cylinder (mad just sticking together three aluminum foil wraps for kitchen use).

Where is the induced magnetic field coming from? From #Faraday's induction law of course!

#TheGuardian #Einstein #Faraday #Physics #Chemistry

Who is your favorite scientist? For me Michael #Faraday would be a top contender: deep insights into nature's laws, groundbreaking work for modern technologies, loved science & people, great communicator, modest man. Now his notebooks will be digitized & published by the #RoyalInstitution. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/mar/15/notebooks-michael-faraday-victorian-scientist-einstein

A first version of a new gem called "faraday-openapi" was just released. It is a Faraday middleware that validates requests and responses against an #openapi API description. One use case for this is to use this in a test environment to make sure your #webmock HTTP mocks match the actual API, which is described in the OpenAPI file.

Please check it out and leave feedback:
https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/faraday-openapi

#ruby #faraday #webmock

#ruby #opensource #faraday

So, Faraday is a bunch of gems, and each of them ought to be using this Action (see PR in there).

We want to get to green on each of our gems, here:

All of the bubble, all of it.

You have been grifted by Bitcoin.

You have been grifted by Congress.

You have been grifted by the Supreme Court.

You were amped up. So much potential.

But, when circuits complete, sparks fly.

Apply the screws to the sacrifice, but do not become the enemy.

@modinmetro thank you for posting. this piece has a special meaning for me. In 2012 I led a storytelling walk through elephant and castle roundabout and o told The Odyssey. The underpasses stood in for the underworld. This substation was the Isle of Bronze.
#modernism #faraday & we all loved the urban legend that it was where Aphex Twin lived.
