back in my day we used to upcycle old 18650s from old laptop batteries to use for Nokia phones. Since back in the day phone batteries were basically just insert-in and held by a cl…

not a spark plug. They call it "armature in a circle", but that's somewhat generic. Bosch used to do the first magnetos / dynamos in the early 1900s motorbikes / cars. The principl…

any tips on how to reliably get that "thicker gauge" one? I've been craving it since maybe 20y ago when I got a roll from my old stint in a restaurant. I've tried buying some rolls…

at this point I'd wonder if the cat's name is "Princess Donut"

I'm not sure about the "question nobody asked". Bluetooth is perhaps a gimmick, but in all seriousness an electrically actuated derailleur is a blessing for anyone doing audax / lo…

I think the answer to this is:"yes"

OK, fairly specific question - how did You get to that pants silouhete? It seems from the pics You went for something like a straight leg plus some extra room and fairly fitted wai…

Oh, I'm not claiming sewing machine is the "only" option :-) There's plenty of hacking that can be done on the subject of sewing and I admit that laser cutter is a cool one. I'm st…

TLDR : "nice to have, but not a necessity" For some basic jerseys (think T-shirts) a basic zigzag is fine to begin with. That 100EUR sewing machine will have some fancier stretch s…

For everyone struggling with clothes sizing and having a hacker mindset, I can't recommend enough buying a sewing machine (~100EUR on a used market, ~150 new gets you a reasonable …

Fiction (shortlist): -Some Desperate Glory (Emily Tesh) -A Memory called Empire (Arkady Martin) both of these are a fairly interesting take on scifi worldbuilding. Could be called …

I admit it's a nice experiment, but I guess the title should be "detecting iPhone Lidar". Both the 60Hz frequency and 940nm wavelength are fairly specific. There's a whole world of…

Have You checked the validity of registration/insurance? I'm kinda curious about doing it the other way and trying some BDRs) maybe in a few years)

mind developping on the "it's DERP or nothing"? Have you been trying to expose a direct wireguard port of your own, or the Tailscale?

personally : proxmox /VM is great if You'd like to separate physical HW. In my case - virtualized TrueNAS means I can give it a whole SATA controller and keep this as an isolated s…

AirVPNs main proposition isn't "we have a nice app / UX". It's "we give you the most configs / options". AFAIK they're currently one of very few that allow you to configure both po…

my $.02 : I tried them, but found their "we support Wireguard" a bit misleading. They only did so via their app. No way to get a stable configuration for a router (other than run a…

true. My original was just a quick jote on a phone sipping a coffee on Sunday. I admit I simply didn't want to go into the whole "square FOV for the sensor vs. one detector / diode…

Also there's the simple physics view of the same problem. The advantage of scanning is that you can focus all the laser pulse energy into one narrow beam. Non scanning means coveri…

Shouldn't it be more of a "why" to install TrueNAS on a RPi? The only reason I can see is "I have one that I don't use". Because otherwise... Idle power isn't all that much better …

Not even that. I think I had mine for under 150 (on some sale). Also, there are a few cheaper alternatives, but some tests have shown them to be less reliable (either false positiv…

thanks for this one. I've just printed my first two stacks of Multiboard for the office after only reading the license summary. The way they play with "Designed Works" and "commerc…

As for the nanoKVM power design, I agree it's a pain. Not sure what's the state of things on the forums now, but in my experience, the issue comes from the device trying to draw po…

oh, thanks for the reminder. Is that also a recommendation for the Strange & Norrel? I've been meaning to get to more of her stuff ever since I listened to Piranesi last Christmas …

they are "Pratchett" footnotes though. My introduction to Discworld happened when I bought a few second hand paperbacks on Portobello for under a pound in order to have something t…
