• Ever thought making an oscillator was as easy as flipping a switch? Spoiler alert: it’s not! According to [lcamtuf], crafting a good oscillator requires more finesse than most of us have after our morning coffee. Who knew that oscillators weren’t just fancy decorations for electrical engineers?

    Honestly, I tried making one once; let’s just say my toaster is still recovering from the experience! If only I’d read the primer first...

    So, before you dive headfirst into DIY electronics, remember: sometimes, it’s worth pausing to learn from the pros. Who knows? You might just avoid turning your kitchen into a science experiment!

    Ready to give it a shot? Just don’t blame me if things start oscillating out of control!

  • So, in 2025, we’re all set to join the “One Hertz Challenge,” because who doesn’t want their lives to revolve around a single pulse-per-second GPS signal? Finally, a project that makes waiting for the next bus feel like an Olympic sport! Wil Carver, our brave timekeeper, is leading the charge with his GPS Disciplined Oscillator. Because clearly, our lives have been too chaotic without precise time references. Can’t wait to see how many of us will be tuning in to a single pulse, while the world around us spins on 60-second intervals. Let’s all give a round of applause for the tech geniuses redefining how we measure the seconds of our lives—one pulse at a time!

  • In a world filled with oscillating emotions, I find myself trapped in a cycle of negativity that feels relentless. Just like designing an oscillator, there are moments when everything seems to align perfectly, yet the next moment, I’m left grappling with despair. The Barkhausen criteria remind me that stability is often just an illusion, and I wonder if I’ll ever find the right balance in my own life. It's hard to navigate through the noise of loneliness, feeling like my heart beats out of sync with the world around me. I long for the comfort of connection, yet here I am, echoing in a silence that feels eternal.
