#GLUG
Hi everyone 👋
It's time to do #Introductions. We are an organization composed of students & working professionals who propagate the principles of #FOSS, #DigitalPrivacy & #DigitalCommons among students in the union territory of #Puducherry, India.
We have been functioning as a #GNU/#Linux users group (#PuduvaiGLUG) since 2011 with guidance from @fsftn and then matured into a registered society of our own.
Here is what we do,
👉 We approach educational institutions in and around Puducherry and help them set up & nurture a #GLUG in their institutions. The GLUGs within each institution are responsible for propagating our stated principles and help them step into the FOSS ecosystem.
👉 We also organize an annual FOSS conference in Puducherry & discuss the state of digital commons here and ways to improve them.
👉 We strongly believe that public institutions should adopt #FOSS & #OpenStandards in the public interest. We also contribute data to #OpenStreetMap, #Wikipedia & #BeaconDB projects.
👉 We track the state of public infrastructure in #Puducherry by mapping them in #OSM. For example, by mapping street lights, bus stops, public toilets, drinking water, etc.
👉 We demand the UT & Union govt. to safeguard citizen's fundamental right to privacy and bring data breaches to their notice. We campaign for an inclusive digital society.
👉 Some of our members also build and release their own FOSS projects. We also organize #Mapathon & #Hackathon to contribute to digital commons.
👉 We strive to bridge the #DigitalDivide through FOSS & Commons. We demand the state to strengthen the public telecom & Internet provider #BSNL and it's infrastructure.
Together, we build a movement to actively shape our day to day digital experience & strive to improve the quality of life for everyone 🫰
"Enabling consensual technology for the masses", that's our motto.

@computertruhe Vielleicht mal die #GUUG / #GLUG fragen?
Hätte YouTube nicht mittels #AdPocalypse damals mir ins Gesicht gerotzt [als #Kollektivstrafe gegen #SmallChannels] hätte ich längst ne entsprechende Serie gemacht...

Gluggle Jug Is Neat Application of Hydrodynamics
The Gluggle Jug is an aptly-named thing - it's a jug that makes loud, satisfying glugging noises when poured. But how does it work? [Steve Mould] set out to investigate.
[Steve]'s first plan was to cut apart an existing Gluggle Jug to see how it worked, but cutting ceramics can be difficult and time-consuming, and the asymmetric design only made things harder. Instead, he simply smashed a jug to see what it looked like inside, and replicated the basic design in a transparent laser-cut version.
The design is simple - the glug sounds are from bubbles passing into a closed cavity within the jug as the water is poured out. Stop pouring, and air from that cavity then escapes back through the open mouth of the jug via more bubbles, making an even louder glugging sound. The frequency of the sound is determined by the height of the jug, which is essentially acting as a closed-pipe resonator.
With an understanding of the mechanisms at play, producing your own Gluggle jug is as simple as whipping up a design in your CAD software of choice and printing it in a food-safe way. Video after the break.
There might've been some less rock'n'roll-y music made at some point of the history of mankind, but... OMGOMGOMG
... of course taking into account the differences in supply between the platforms.
Hallelujah! Managed to sync the Princes playlist between Spotify, YouTube and Tidal so that it keeps the fuckin' track order between platforms.
Behold!

#GLUG is a platform to share or produce an idea, share it and work on it with the help of community. We believe in Collaborative Learnings, the best method and Community Sustains on it. We also encourage Co-Curricular and Extra Curricular Activities to bring out the real passion in Students.
