NuttX runs on the ESP32[1] which provides a rather featureful shell[2] as well as a file system. [1] https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/platforms/xtensa/esp32/... [2] https://nut…

As others have already pointed out this exercise used a huge dish(a radio telescope[1]) and significant power. This is in no way an economically viable mode of communication. Using…

No, the radio waves bounce off the moon's surface. The retroreflectors are not necessary for that, otherwise stuff like Earth-Venus-Earth bounces[1] would not be possible. [1]: htt…

For reference (mostly for me as I need this from time to time), you can do the same on dpkg-based distros with $ dpkg -L imagemagick-6.q16 | grep bin /usr/bin /usr/bin/animate-im6.…

May I ask what made you choose lazygit instead of fugitive? I'm using the latter and am quite happy with it, but I'm keen to learn what I'm missing out on.

Do you use the native-comp branch of emacs? This probably doesn't make any difference when it comes to multithreading but it should make the experience a bit more smooth.

You might want to consider using the BR2_EXTERNAL feature[1] to keep your customizations outside of the buildroot tree. [1]: https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#outs…

I guess this is a thing you could achieve with neovim-remote[1]. My main use case for it avoiding nested neovim processes in the inbuilt terminal, though [1]: https://github.com/mh…

Speyer has the Buran as well https://speyer.technik-museum.de/en/spaceshuttle-buran

The easiest way to leave the gray zone would be to get a ham radio license. Although this might vary from country to country, generally you are allowed to use selfbuilt transmitter…

They use GMAT, the General Mission Analysis Tool https://opensource.gsfc.nasa.gov/projects/GMAT/index.php

Do I guess correctly that you have cockpit running on the host and manage guests via the cockpit-machines plugin? If so, do you have any hints on where to find documentation about …

You might wanna tell the people of Oulu that Finns don't see cycling as a means of transportation: https://youtu.be/Uhx-26GfCBU You don't maintain extensive bike infrastructure dur…

Each country's member association of the International Amateur Radio Union[0] likely provides information on ways to get your ham radio license in the specific country. Germany: ht…

This reminded me of ledger, the plain text accounting tool. FWIW, ledger has time tracking and billing capabilities, too. For example: https://github.com/anarcat/ledger-timetrackin…

You're right, that's the basic ingredient #1 I forgot to mention. Functional rDNS is essential. You don't want to have your mail server running at home anyhow. A friend of mine had…

I run my own mail server and have never experienced such issues. The important thing is that your mail server is not an open relay and you set up DKIM and SPF. Oh, and never run a …

I'm gonna assume said Jörg is German. Quoting from Wikipedia > German names containing umlauts (ä, ö, ü) and/or ß are spelled in the correct way in the non-machine-readable zone of…

I know of expression-search( https://github.com/wangvisual/expression-search ) but it is not supported in recent versions of Thunderbird. I'd be interested as well as I've been lon…

I'm interested in fractional calculus. It all started with an argument I had with my high school math teacher about whether something like a half derivative is a thing. Turns out f…

One other method to quickly exit insert mode if you can't remap keys is ^C. I did not know this even though I used gvim on Windows computers not under my control for years.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. It's always nice to see Lua in the wild. This headline immediately reminded me of this[0] talk from CCC 2018 comparing different high level languag…

The title first suggested that the article is about a security vulnerability of a satellite. The DoD actually held a CTF recently focused on the security of space systems. Informat…
