# Building a fully FOSS environment - then and now
Reading about other people's experiences running organisations with FOSS is always interesting to me, and this piece from @Gina is no exception. Concise, honest, and practical.

“And we still used Salesforce as our CRM”
Am curious if the blocker was the cost of migrating / retraining, or essential features? (Am somewhat biased as just left a Dutch @civicrm event).

@nicol @neil @civicrm we actually looked at CiviCRM back then! Unfortunately at that time we already had our hands full with just keeping everything up and running so there wasn't any bandwidth to take on a new CRM.
Edit: I completely forgot about civicrm btw, but I do remember being impressed with it back then. Would recommend it over Odoo.

@neil oops I should also mention that I moved my blog to https://ginaplat.com/posts/20250617-building-a-foss-env/. I'll remove the old one soon.

@francommit sicuro è ciò che il responsabile it dell'azienda ritiene sicuro. Punto.
Se pensi che la scelta del tuo responsabile it sia sbagliata, puoi farglielo presente. Ma il suo interesse è quello di far installare meno software possibile su un pc aziendale

@lw I like Tuba

@bagder Very good state of the art report about LLM plagiarism. Yeah, that's a difficult problem.

@informapirata LibreOffice è sempre stato tra i software installabili ed è una suite da ufficio sicura, non è un qualsiasi software che può passarti per la testa. Tra l'altro è possibile installarlo anche tramite Microsoft Store quindi da una fonte sicura. Notepad++ e CodeCompare puoi installarli tranquillamente eppure li scarichi dal sito e quindi possono essere potenzialmente più pericolosi. @ilsimoneviaggiatore

questo genere di persone, che sono qui perché si sentono st🪿zzo, danneggiano il fediverso allontanando gente che potrebbe riguadagnare libertà e socialità.

Building an LC Meter with a Franklin Oscillator
Although it dates back to the early days of the Marconi Company in the 1920s, the Franklin oscillator has remained a relatively obscure circuit, its memory mostly kept alive by ham radio operators who prize its high stability at higher frequencies. At the core of the circuit is an LC tank circuit, a fact which [nobcha] used to build quite a precise LC meter.
The meter is built around two parts: the Franklin oscillator, which resonates at a frequency defined by its inductance and capacitance, and an Arduino which counts the frequency of the signal. In operation, the Arduino measures the frequency of the original LC circuit, then measures again after another element (capacitor or inductor) has been added to the circuit. By measuring how much the resonant frequency changes, it’s possible to determine the value of the new element.
Before operation, the meter must be calibrated with a known reference capacitor to determine the values of the base LC circuit. In one iteration of the design, this was done automatically using a relay, while in a later version a manual switch connects the reference capacitor. Because the meter measures frequency differences and not absolute values, it minimizes parasitic effects. In testing, it was capable of measuring inductances as low as 0.1 µH.
We’ve seen a few homebrew LC meters here, some battery-powered and some rather professional.

@Zambunny Attenta alla madre sciamana.
