I have put the gate LED rings on Tindie now.

Sorry about the cost - the LEDs are cheap but there are 552 on each board... #WS2812 style, 3.3V to 5V.

3D models for the gate are on @Codeberg, as are @kicad PCBs to order yourself. All #opensource

In anticipation of the new #Stargate series being produced I decided to re-watch it all. First SG1, then the interleaved seasons with Atlantis, followed by Universe.

I knew I would (re-)love SG1 and Atlantis (although the first low budget episodes of SG1 haven't aged well) but what surprised me was Universe.

That incel gamer nerd arc with the repeated "chads get the girls" storylines feels REALLY off now, to the point where that is what brings my opinion of the whole series down. If it weren't for that I think it's actually better than what the general consensus seems to be, and I would actually like to see it being picked up again.

I think I may have figured out what the Stargate Project is.

Just another AI data center has never set right with me. Why is it half a billion dollars? Why so big?

I think they want to take Jensen's digital twin concept to the next level and track the whole country like a warehouse. But instead of products, it tracks people.

Ties in well with RFK Jr's comments on wanting every American to wear a smart watch, and the resurgent push for AR glasses. Amongst all the other surveillance…
