They have been removing features from the open source version for a while. The closest alternative seems to be RustFS. Has anyone tried it? I was waiting until they support site re…

act is brilliant - it really helps iterate on github or gitea actions locally.

I have a problem with the Github Actions documentation. There is a lot of it, but it feels as though it was written from a "product" perspective, to explain how to use the product.…

act is great. I use it to iterate on actions locally (I self-host gitea actions, which uses act, so it's identical to github actions).

schmoyoho are incredible at making these songs, and so quickly after each event. I'm amazed they usually only get 10s of thousands of views, with the odd exception over 1m.

UK resident here. The original version gave me the push I needed to get a rPi 2B+, subscribe to a VPN, and use it as a wifi AP that routes all traffic from my house through it. Can…

TBH I haven't ever had a problem with SD card corruption so far. If I did, it wouldn't really matter, since all the important data is on the RAID array, and the OS can be reprovisi…

The range is indeed poor, and it depends a lot on your house/flat. Would definitely recommend using another machine with something like this. In terms of throughput, right next to …

I have 3 rpi4s running my entire home network. One is a vpn router and a wifi AP, it also has Uptime Kuma. I need this to be reliable and rarely touch it except to improve its reli…

To me it's been obvious ever since the term SaaS was coined, that it would be worse for users. Not only is it more expensive, you don't get control over your data or how you use th…

Yes, people writing unmaintainable code in Jupyter notebooks is a problem. Personally, I start every notebook with %load_ext autoreload %autoreload 2 then develop production qualit…

> Why bother with docker for a home server other than for the fun of it? I do this. Over time you forget how each service was configured, or simply don't care. Adding more and more…

I also found it very weird, but here's my intuition. There are 2^k > 512 spheres stuck to eachother across k-d (pretend k=9). The line from the center to the point where the inner …

The fourier transform is the same for all time, and the time-series contains all frequencies, so it makes sense to plot them on orthogonal axes. However it makes sense for them to …

Since a commercial fusion reactor hasn't yet been developed, you can't argue that it is or will be the same cost per-megawatt as fission power. That's because you can't predict any…

Why could an airship not be made using a vacuum instead of a lifting gas? A quick google reveals that someone has thought of this before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_airsh…

Great post! I once had to port a siamese neural network from Tensorflow to Apple's CoreML to make it run on an iPhone. Siamese neural networks have a cross convolution step which w…

I'm not a roboticist, but can the ability to do general purpose manipulation be built up from a universe of known simpler manipulation tasks using something a bit like transfer lea…

I once tried to reproduce a webcam PPG paper, but not using Eulerian video magnification. The pipeline started with face detection, then found the mean colour value of a rectangle …

After the new interface was brought out, I found that the most jarring thing was how the left-hand-side menu collapsed down left to a set of meaningless icons, then when you hovere…

GTKmm. GTK uses GObject to implement inheritance between C structs and it's easy to go wrong when extending. GTKmm wraps GTK in C++. It's a joy to use and is safer.

ROS beginner here. I've been experimenting with ROS in my spare time for about a week, with the ultimate goal of building a trainable robot. So far, I've built a custom robot arm i…

The piece that falls to Earth ends up wrapping faster and faster, this causes centrifugal force on the tip, increasing the tension in the ribbon. Often the ribbon breaks on its way…

If Facebook's business model is built around collecting and selling personal data, and more than 4% of their revenue globally comes from EU citizens, then they could decide to wilf…

Glad Apple have finally put coremltools on Github. It looks like they've added a lot of stuff recently as well.
