It's neat that this exists, and I'm happy that people are still funding these kinds of projects. But 6x17 panoramic cameras exist at a price point with money left over for film and…

I hope the QNX can fix their antiquated password process on this site. Apparently I still had an account from the last time they opened things up, and I asked for a password reset.…

I can connect to wifi on my old Thinkpad running Haiku. There's no reason FreeBSD shouldn't have full support for wifi out of the box. Even OpenBSD has better wifi support. After m…

I'm looking over at my Decstation 5000/260 with the burnt-out power supply. Maybe this is what I need to get that feeling back.

I was pleased to see a page with photos (and PDF documentation) of the Ceres systems which were used to develop the Oberon operating system. http://cpu-ns32k.net/Ceres.html

I'm doing something similar with the VisionFive 2, boot is on the SD card, the NVME does the rest.

I've ordered something now to at least get in the queue for the next time. Hopefully by then, some Zero 2 boards will be available.

It looks like it's not possible to order one unless you've ordered something from Pimoroni before 12 May 2023. The only one in stock currently is the Pi Zero. So unfortunately it's…

I think I've only ever used the row of GPIO pins on the Pi for UART, and for running the dog-slow screens that use up most of them. These days, I'd put Micropython on a Pi Pico or …

I have a small stack of Raspberry Pi boards that I bought one at a time over the last few years. My issue with them is I could never buy three or four at once. I was always hit wit…

I'm currently trying to do this on my little stack of Pi Zero and Zero 2 boards. I remember at some point this worked great, and then I couldn't get it to work again. So far I'm no…

I'm disappointed to see that the binaries for the Raspberry Pi aren't available anymore at the bitbucket linked on https://github.com/yshurik/inferno-rpi . I've run Plan9 in the pa…

Is the lack of human authorship the gist of the argument? Can you claim copyright on the output from a compiler? Or is this like work for hire, where you just give instructions to …

I've encountered something like this attitude, though it's more a reverence for the newest, flashiest gear in online forums. Certain camera brands bring it out in people, like cert…

I agree, Flickr has lost its spark. It might be dying, it might not. But whatever it had is gone.

It's a perverse incentive for sure.

Thanks, that explains things a bit better. It sounds like it's better to not use the universe repository at all in that case. I don't suppose I can just switch over to Debian for t…

So is this in fact a good thing reframed as something negative because Canonical is asking for money?

So if I'm reading sources.list correctly, universe repositories don't receive security updates from the Ubuntu team. Is it now the case that they do, as long as you've enrolled in …

I don't think we're that point yet, but there's some amazing work on deconvolution for seeing around corners.

I haven't finished the article, but it seems like using the flash on the iPhone might have been enough to lower the ISO for the photo. Lower ISO = lower noise. The end results look…

Where can I read more about the mind's senses?

I sometimes get portions of songs stuck in my head for a day or two, but otherwise no music unless I'm really tired. The depiction of hearing someone else's voice when reading a le…

That's my experience. Dreams can be vivid, or close enough to real life including color. Occasionally I'll see hypnagogic imagery, but more likely I'll hear music when I'm really t…

I'm not sure myself. Growing up, I remember being frustrated anytime I was asked to imagine something. I imagined what other people's imaginations were capable of, which seemed lik…
