@jsonstein Nice, tell them I said Hi :)
I'm particularly proud that I started with no pre made schematic or plan at all and tinkered myself to a working push pull design half simulating with LTSpice and half by trial and error.

Hello my friends, this is Mohammed Shobair from Gaza City.

This afternoon, treat yourself to a coffee, and let’s pretend we have it together, from a distance.

It’s important to have a break and to spend time together with your loved ones, or thinking about them

This simple composition was made with a small FF mirrorless camera, 21mm lens, and travel tripod during a short hike.

I didn't have any ND filters with me, so ended up having to shoot this in the bright midday light at f/8. That yields too much DoF to allow focus to separate the tree from the background. But fortunately there was just enough haze to reduce the contrast of the distant hills a bit, yielding a high contrast subject with a lower contrast background. So it worked out in the end.

Hi everyone, I’d like to welcome Hala and her family (@ghassangaza) to Gaza Verified (https://gaza-verified.org)

I had a video chat with her a few minutes ago over Signal.

She is a mother from Gaza struggling to keep her children safe and fed.

I met Sama, the most adorable child you see in her profile photo during our chat. She was wearing a t-shirt with a lovely swan embroidered on it and I got the most heartwarming smile when I complimented her on it.

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse, follow them, help with the fundraiser if you can (they’re still in the danger zone and haven’t been able to afford to move South), and share their story so we can find others who can help.

Here’s a direct link to her fundraiser:

Thank you!

A few days ago, I had a video call with @aral to verify @abeerabed22 for the Gaza Verified
Today, Abeer and I chatted a bit.She's a mom who managed to escape the genocide with her children in Egypt, but her husband is now trapped in Gaza. She has no source of income to pay the rent for the miserable apartment she lives in. Her husband hasn't left the danger zone yet due to a lack of funds needed to evacuate.
Let's help Abeer today & every day, pls

NOS: *Nederland doet ook niet mee aan Songfestival als Israël deelneemt*

https://nos.nl/artikel/2582132-nederland-doet-ook-niet-mee-aan-songfestival-als-israel-deelneemt

"Nederland doet niet mee aan het Eurovisie Songfestival als Israël ook weer meedoet. Dat schrijft omroep AVROTROS in een persbericht.

De omroep "kan de deelname van Israël in de huidige situatie niet langer verantwoorden gezien het voortdurende en ernstige menselijke leed in Gaza". Nederland sluit zich daarbij aan bij Slovenië, Spanje, IJsland en Ierland, die ook niet zullen meedoen als Israël deelneemt. …"

This is a public service announcement for all the dollar-store Sherlock Holmes’s out there who clearly have nothing better to do than to concoct conspiracy theories about people from Gaza on the fediverse who are faced with genocide and famine:

Stop.

Have some humanity.

Case in point, do not do what Daniel (@helmet91@mastodon.social) is doing here:

https://mastodon.social/@helmet91/115158104880965232

Here’s someone going out of their way to discredit Nouran and her brother Yousef ( @NouranKhaledGh). I’ve spoken with Nouran and Yousef over video on Signal and we’ve verified them on:

https://gaza-verified.org

They are real. They are from Gaza. I’m in touch with them daily. They haven’t been able to evacuate yet.

They need your help.

And what is Daniel doing? Examining bloody shadows in video footage like some tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorist attempting to disprove that the moon landings ever happened.

And writing blog posts about it:

https://helmet91.com/post/how-not-to-get-scammed

Stop it, Daniel. Stop and think about what you’re doing.

This isn’t some computer game.

These are real people. Who are in danger. And need our help. And you’re not helping.

PS. You can show your love and support for Nouran, her brother Yousef, and their whole family by following her here: @NouranKhaledGh, sending some words of solidarity, donating to their fundraiser, and sharing it so others can help too.

Good morning everyone.

One million people are facing imminent death and destruction at the hands of Israel in Gaza.¹

Israel has issued evacuation orders for one million people. These are people who have been displaced over and over again in Israel’s ongoing genocide. They have nowhere left to go. To move South costs thousands of dollars to rent land, a tent, and sanitation due to war-time profiteering.² That’s if they can get someone outside of Palestine to host their fundraiser and if they can keep their social media accounts from being shut down by mainstream Big Tech platforms and after paying half the donation amount or more in commission while withdrawing the funds that are sent to them.

Things are desperate.

Mastodon and the fediverse are the last lifeline for people from Gaza. It’s their last chance of reaching us in the outside world so that we might help them survive the genocide and famine being wrought out by Israel.

@joynewacc and I are having video conversations with people from Gaza who have Mastodon accounts every day to verify them in hopes that this will help them raise funds to live.

You can find the verified accounts on Gaza Verified:

https://gaza-verified.org

I hope you will follow them on the fediverse, perhaps send them a few words of love and solidarity so they know they’re not alone but that there are some of us that see, hear, love and support them.

And, if you can, please support their fundraisers, boost their posts, and share their accounts.

Thank you in advance for making our friends from Gaza who are facing unspeakable horrors welcome on the fediverse and for showing that humanity is not entirely dead in the rest of the world.

💕

PS. Please note that many Palestinians use automated translation tools, including AI-based ones so you might notice issues with translation or even transliteration (so, for example, a name is written Eman in one place but Iman in another). Also, not everyone is social media or technically savvy. These are everyday people trying to survive a genocide and a famine so please understand that there might be issues with the accounts. That doesn’t mean that they’re not genuine. If you have any concerns, you can talk to me. (Furthermore, there are concerted efforts by some groups to spread FUD about Palestinian accounts with the goal of getting them all shut down. If you notice any such behaviour, please also alert me. To server admins: closing their accounts is tantamount to handing out a death sentence. We’re here to help if you need it.)

PPS. If you know of any people from Gaza with Mastodon accounts who are not on Gaza Verified, please tell them about it. You can give them a link to https://gaza-verified.org/guide-arabic/ with further information. The guide also includes a list of Mastodon servers whose admins have publicly stated that their servers are safe spaces for Palestinians to open accounts so please feel free to share that with people from Gaza who are having their accounts closed on Bluesky and elsewhere. You can find the English version of the guide here: https://gaza-verified.org/guide/
