evan, to random I think it's been mentioned before but I just want to make sure that everyone here knows that we are having THREE #SocialCG #Swicg #ActivityPub sessions at #TPAC next week.
TPAC is a hybrid working event for the W3C. Some of us will be in person in Seville. If you're not, you can call in and participate remotely.
Details here!

dejo, to science Serbian Hi, I'm not quite sure if this vhdl code and testbench is correct for the given task. Can you take a look?
Design a one-hour kitchen timer. The device should have buttons/switches to start and stop the timer, as well as to set the desired time interval for the alarm. Realize the task using the software package Quartus or in GHDL, confirm the correctness of the project task by simulation.
This is VHDL code:
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all; use ieee.numeric_std.all; entity Kitchen_Timer is port ( clk : in std_logic; -- Clock input reset : in std_logic; -- Reset input start : in std_logic; -- Start button input stop : in std_logic; -- Stop button input alarm : out std_logic -- Alarm output ); end entity Kitchen_Timer; -- Declare the architecture for the kitchen timer architecture Behavioral of Kitchen_Timer is signal count : integer range 0 to 3600 := 0; -- Counter for timer signal alarming : std_logic := '0'; -- Signal to indicate alarming interval signal alarm_en : std_logic := '0'; -- Signal to enable alarming interval signal alarm_cnt : integer range 0 to 600 := 0; -- Counter for alarming interval begin -- Process to control the kitchen timer and alarming interval process (clk, reset) begin if (reset = '1') then count <= 0; alarming <= '0'; alarm_en <= '0'; alarm_cnt <= 0; elsif (rising_edge(clk)) then if (stop = '1') then count <= 0; alarming <= '0'; alarm_en <= '0'; alarm_cnt <= 0; elsif (start = '1' and count < 3600) then count <= count + 1; if (count = 3600) then count <= 0; alarming <= '0'; alarm_en <= '0'; alarm_cnt <= 0; elsif (count > 0) then alarm_en <= '1'; end if; end if; if (alarm_en = '1') then if (alarm_cnt < 600) then alarm_cnt <= alarm_cnt + 1; else alarm_cnt <= 0; alarming <= '1'; end if; end if; end if; end process; -- Assign the alarm output alarm <= alarming; end architecture Behavioral; ``` This is Testbench: ```library ieee; use ieee.std_logic_1164.all; entity tb_Kitchen_Timer is end tb_Kitchen_Timer; architecture tb of tb_Kitchen_Timer is component Kitchen_Timer port (clk : in std_logic; reset : in std_logic; start : in std_logic; stop : in std_logic; alarm : out std_logic); end component; signal clk : std_logic; signal reset : std_logic; signal start : std_logic; signal stop : std_logic; signal alarm : std_logic; constant TbPeriod : time := 1000 ns; -- EDIT Put right period here signal TbClock : std_logic := '0'; signal TbSimEnded : std_logic := '0'; begin dut : Kitchen_Timer port map (clk => clk, reset => reset, start => start, stop => stop, alarm => alarm); -- Clock generation TbClock <= not TbClock after TbPeriod/2 when TbSimEnded /= '1' else '0'; -- EDIT: Check that clk is really your main clock signal clk <= TbClock; stimuli : process begin -- EDIT Adapt initialization as needed start <= '0'; stop <= '0'; -- Reset generation -- EDIT: Check that reset is really your reset signal reset <= '1'; wait for 100 ns; reset <= '0'; wait for 100 ns; -- EDIT Add stimuli here wait for 100 * TbPeriod; -- Stop the clock and hence terminate the simulation TbSimEnded <= '1'; wait; end process; end tb; -- Configuration block below is required by some simulators. Usually no need to edit. configuration cfg_tb_Kitchen_Timer of tb_Kitchen_Timer is for tb end for; end cfg_tb_Kitchen_Timer;``` #science
dejo, Serbian @T4V0 Thanks for the answer, but I think I didn't understand you very well, can you send me the code with the modifications so that I know what exactly you mean?
Thank you very much, in advance
T4V0, Serbian @dejo
can you send me the code with the modifications so that I know what exactly you mean?
I would rather not, as it isn't a good learning experience for you, and would require some time for me to write the code.
Though if you have any questions about my previous answer, feel free to ask me about it.
As a freebie for you, pay attention to the
alarming
signal, and the condition that has been set: "The device should have buttons/switches to start and stop the timer, as well as to set the desired time interval for the alarm.". If I wanted the alarm to ring after 50 minutes, how would I do that? And what happens when the timer starts?From the code I see here, the alarm is going to ring 10 minutes after being started, and it won't stop until an hour passes. And it has no way to set a time for it to ring, it always rings after 10 minutes.
And, not only that, the
start
signal is never set in the testbench, so the timer is never going to begin.
Chozo, to fediverse I feel like the reason #Mastodon, and the #Fediverse at large, aren't taking off has to do with the fact that they're actually social networks. People don't seem to want a social network, they want content platforms. People aren't using #Twitter or #Threads or #TikTok to keep up with their friends these days, they're using these apps to entertain themselves. And since #Facebook and every other platform that used to be a social network began pivoting toward content promotion, I think society has forgotten what a social network is supposed to actually be anymore.
(E: Grammar.)
Sam_uk, @Chozo I wonder if this bodes well for Kbin/Lemmy? Arguably their model is more about content than social relationships.
sickmatter, to fedia So does Fedia have a relay connection to the same sources as infosec.exchange?
sickmatter, Probably. The other sites in the Jerryverse seem to support it.
FlockOfCats, to random I feel a lot more comfortable with the developer of kbin (@ernest) than the Lemmy devs.
Here, he messed up by not giving attribution for some code, but the transparency and remedy of the error are appreciated.
It’s nice to see something that builds trust as opposed to burning it down like at #Reddit
sickmatter, to fedia Oh my god, images work now! 🫶🏼
sickmatter, Oh my god the site works too!
sab, to kbinMeta I'm curious - what's the difference between magazines and users when linked to the greater fediverse?
It seems like the link to both would be
@name@kbin.social
. If somebody creates a user named news, it would therefore be found at@news@kbin.social
- which is where the news magazine is found.Don't these collide? How do we distinguish between the two?
I'm sorry if the answer is obvious somehow. :)
Facni, @sab Actually, that's the idea, Lemmy and Matrix use a ! before the URL to name communities/rooms for example https://lemmy.world/c/technology but Mastodon doesn't support it and they are the biggest platform so they don't have any plan to do it, Kbin's solution was to use the same logic for users than for magazines. If you access a magazine from Mastodon you will see that it works as a user. Many people think that Lemmy is the only one who resists Mastodon's bad practices.
ada, to random The more I use different #fediverse apps, the more I feel that we are on the edge of a different future, in the early stages of something that we haven't seen before.
In the last few months, I've used #Mastodon, #Misskey, #Calckey, #Funkwhale, #lemmy, #Peertube, #Bookwyrm and #Pixelfed. Soon, I'm going to try an install of #kbin. In the not too distant future, we will see #GreatApe bringing more options for video chat to the Fediverse. There are countless more platforms that I haven't had a chance to try.
The network formed by the interconnections between those apps is the Fediverse; a Federated Universe. Federated, because everything out there is connected with everything else, in one giant network. What I am truly beginning to appreciate is just how real that vision is, and just how disruptive to our future it's going to be. More than a truism, these the fediverse platforms really will allow us to see and interact with nearly anything else out there.
The platform we use no longer determines the information we can access; it doesn't build walls around us. Instead, what out choice of platform determines, is how we interact with information, rather than determining what information we are able interact with in the first place. The walls in the walled garden haven't so much been torn down, as simply never built.
I can write a blog post, and someone on Mastodon can reply to it. I can make a group post on lemmy, and someone from Calckey can reply to it. I can see an awesome photo on Pixelfed, bring it in to #Akkoma and boost it for everyone else to see. And then anyone who sees it can interact with it.
The cross platform interactions are still imperfect. Standards are still being developed, code is still being written and features are still being defined, but the future is right here, we are on the cusp of something new and amazing.
Of course, this is all old news to someone who has been part of the fediverse for years now, but it feels different now. The momentum is here, we are seeing a shift and I think once we cross that precipice, once we have normalised the cross channel interactions we are starting to develop, it's going to be very hard to go back.
Honestly, I can't wait.
dansup, to random Seems like October will be an exciting month for the fediverse! #activityPub
