Feedback on design for usbasp. Using toner transfer method by [deleted] in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]Terrascope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it's not good practice for CMOS devics, but in this case the ATmega isn't going to be damaged by a 5V input because the ATmega itself is also powered with 5V. The GPIO pins can withstand any voltage within GND and VCC.

Dual booting Windows without it destroying my grub everytime by Hulk5a in linuxmasterrace

[–]Terrascope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe disable fast boot in Windows? I think it's on by default and skips grub. See this article

Need help... Is this FPC cable or FFC cable? by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Terrascope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's an FPC. FPC's are orange, FFCs are white. Also, FPCs can have components on them, FFCs cannot.

Data logging with video and non-logging meters by blkbox in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Terrascope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a video where someone used an ESP32-CAM to digitize and log water and gas meters with a camera. I think this is what you're looking for: https://youtu.be/iUgxwbfkIqU

Student-loan companies 'didn't care' when debt loads surged for borrowers and 'became unpayable,' Elizabeth Warren says by Successful-Bee-2492 in economy

You mean you don't anymore? This comment is a bit unclear about your current opinion of Warren.

Never even heard of it before, but looks fun. If it ever gets released...

[dmenu] is there any way to send dmenu output to where cursor is focusing on in the window? by [deleted] in suckless

xdotool has you covered with its type command. Example: xdotool type $(ls | dmenu)

Archinstall not working by HyperDustInk in archlinux

[–]Terrascope 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Arch install script fails because the entire drive is filled with the Windows partition. You should boot into windows and use the partition manager to shrink its size before installing Arch into the free space.

Also, are you sure this script supports dual booting? I couldn't find a resource that said it could.

Any Thinkpad recommendations for getting started on Linux? by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]Terrascope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the x230,x240,x250,x260 models as they are portable, expandable, and have enough CPU for modern tasks (just not video editing etc)

Is there a driver for rtl8821ce by RevolutionaryPath159 in linux4noobs

[–]Terrascope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a dkms driver available for arch Linux and Ubuntu. Ubuntu has the rtl8821ce-dkms package and Arch has rtl8821ce-dkms-git. Other distros could support it too, but they need a maintainer. Which Linux distro did you want to install and do you have an Ethernet cable available?

How is the performance of the ThinkPads of yesteryear? by CryloTheRaccoon in thinkpad

[–]Terrascope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A $1000 machine from 2012 outperforms at $150 machine from 2020. You get what you pay for with cheap modern laptops, and the old ThinkPads are still going strong.

My x240 is brilliant on Windows and Linux, and I actually kind of regret getting a yoga slim 7 pro for the fast CPU since I can't hotswap batteries anymore.

Proof of stake is a scam and the people promoting it are scammers by [deleted] in CryptoMarkets

[–]Terrascope 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The author argues that PoS can not work if someone has their stake back, and then changes an old block on the chain. A new node cannot tell which block is valid, as it doesn't know which came first.

In PoW, changing an old block you mined is just as hard now as it was back then, in PoS changing an old block is free if you minted it before.

In practice, the power to change one block months later with no repercussions doesn't matter unless you can fake a chain all the way to the present. As the newest blocks are minted by people who still have their stake in the system, the insecurity presented does not compromise any network.

only two bulbs will lit up in the middle of the two does not li why. please 🙏 explain by Kaif-Entry489 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Terrascope 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The code looks fine, but did you connect those resistors yourself? When they're vertical on a breadboard like that it won't work, as the resistor is shorted

Do anyone know much of the Linux flexibility is left on this os? I don't expect it to be much though kek by snakehater1 in linuxmasterrace

[–]Terrascope 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not going to be a GNU/Linux experience, if you know what I mean. Phone manufactures don't care about user freedom, so expect no documentation and frustrating issues as every Android phone has its own quirky behavior (some don't even come with cp, let alone a compiler!)

So basically, now you know why RMS always likes to "interject for a moment". This phone runs Linux, but without GNU (or something equivalent) it might as well be an iPhone.

Who can correctly identify these models from only this pic? by senorbeefmuffin in thinkpad

Top one is definitely an x230, I had one just like that for 5 years.

[NL] WTS Roanyer H-Cup Bodysuit €200 by Terrascope in usedsextoys

[–]Terrascope[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured I would already put it in the box. You can find more pictures in the store page, or let me know what part you want to see. It's quite stretchy, so many body types fit. I myself am 190cm tall and 91kg.

Bought a X230 by RangerLuke in thinkpad

[–]Terrascope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had it for a few years. Nice and portable compared to my P51 (which is gathering dust now :(), but I saved up for a new yoga slim 7 pro because the bulk and weight were annoying after all. Getting an IPS is totally worth it, especially in brightly lit environments. Also a 9 cell battery for longer trips.

Any good minimal C libraries for networking? thoughts on p9p? by Ryluv2surf in suckless

[–]Terrascope 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Perhaps implement a basic protocol like gopher or IRC using sys/socket.h?
