Du 21 au 27 juillet, le collectif ∏-Node s’installe à Grenoble pour un temps d’expérimentations collectives, accueilli par le 102 et Archipel Urbain. Une semaine d’explorations et de mises en vibration des ondes radiophoniques locales, pour entrer en résonance avec les lieux en sons et en signaux.

Du mardi 22 au vendredi 25, tous les jours dès 19h, rdv dans les éthers caniculaires analogiques et numériques : une émission quotidienne sans heure de fin, à écouter en stream sur https://p-node.org/ ou sur les ondes FM ultra-locales.

The #Python devs are missing a trick if the installation of the forthcoming version 3.14 doesn't also install the alias `pithon`.

Caramba, hoje é o dia do #pi e eu quase esqueci.
Não sabe por que hoje é o dia do pi? Porque 22/7 é aproximadamente 3,14.

Heute ist #PiAnnäherungstag! 22 ÷ 7 ≈ 3,1428 – fast π!
Danke an #Archimedes, der vor 2200 Jahren mit Vielecken #Pi angenähert hat.
Damals wie heute geht’s um hohe Genauigkeit! #Geometrie #WirGebenOrientierung

22. Jul: Die mathematische #Konstante #Pi wird heute mit dem Pi-#Annäherungstag gefeiert! https://www.kleiner-kalender.de/106223 #Mathe #PiAnnäherungstag

Pi Approximation Day (22/7) actually is on 21.9911485751286 / 7 = 07-21T23:47:15.237...

Pi-hole LLC released #Pi-hole version 6.1.4. https://pi-hole.net/

And now for something completely different:

I just launched this new website for finding haiku within the digits of Pi. Check it out and let me know what you think. Write some Trump haiku! (Though "trump" doesn't appear in the first million digits of Pi, both "taco" and "DJT" do.)

So @naomibrockwell blew my mind about how are smart TVs are spying on us with Automatic Content Recognition and other advertising profile scripts. Yikes! Thanks for the heads up!

I don’t have the resources to switch to a more secure streaming device yet (I’m gonna build one with mini PC running LibreELEC with Kodi hopefully).

In the meantime, I setup a Pi-Hole on an old Raspberry Pi 3B I had laying around last night to block as many ads and outgoing unwanted scripts as I could.

It is working great from what I tell! Even removed the ads from my Roku TV home pages lol! I’m sure some stuff is getting through, but at least it’s minimal.

Here is the PiHole install video I watched from Micro Center, but I also added SSH via private/public keys too. How to Block Ads Using a Pi-Hole With A Raspberry Pi

Oh and it has a built-in Star Trek NG LCARS theme!

Okay, this is actually a close up of a mooring on the canal, catching evening light, but I thought it looked like a wee sculpture of the mathematical symbol, Pi, and was begging for a monochrome shot.

I found this haiku in the digits of Pi:

as gray
as the blue sky
the heron

Calculating (or is it estimating - after all you never can tell with Pi) Pi on the moon

Why? Because we can Nice wee discussion about appropriate strategies though given the limitations of the robert.

Just for fun: how to fit squares of side length 1/n for n = 1 upwards in a 1 times π^2/6 rectangle (Basel problem). It's a bit tricky to avoid fragmentation of the free space left. It does not work with an initial square of sides π/√6 nor rectangles of dimensions π/2 times π/3 or 3/2 times π^2/9 (and I haven't proved it works up to infinity for my initial choice, left to mathematicians).
