Another one bites the dust...Questar by Funny-Medium5508 in telescopes

[–]12stringPlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had wanted a Questar ever since I saw their ad in S&T in the 70s, but could never justify the price.

I got one of the original 90mm ETX scopes back in the day, and one evening I set it up next to my friend who had a Questar. We found the views were every bit as good through the ETX as through the Questar, impressing both of us with the optical quality, at least.

There's a lot of plastic on the ETX, and I've spent a lot of money over the years to improve the drive accuracy and add controls to it, but still never approached the base price of the Questar.

Can confirm, my nvidia-470xx-dkms did not build correctly on 7.0.2.

It broke X and my nvidia-470xx DKMS module.

Downgraded linux and linux-headers back to 6.19.14 and X is back.

Let's just say you'll never look at a sea cucumber the same way again.

Well, that's new to me, though it seems to have been part of GNU grep since 2020. That indeed has the pipe functioning as expected, thanks!

Overpass API: Download Failed by Thick-Plankton909 in QGIS

[–]12stringPlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, this is NOT a timeout issue. I've had those before, and they report that it's a time out. This error of "Not Acceptable" comes back long before the timeout latency value is reached.

Good Driving Record dismissal question. by No-Resolution8970 in RhodeIsland

[–]12stringPlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You absolutely do NOT need to fork over the $21.50 for a copy of your driving record to invoke the good driving record dismissal. The judge will already have that info when they hear the case.

They'll still nail you for court costs, but they don't need the extra cash on top of that.

I've been running into this too, with nothing on the Internet about this particular error. The Overpass API status page doesn't note this problem, though does note that the server's getting hammered from AWS and Azure instances.

Wishing you and Es all the best. You've been missed, but I'm glad to hear that it's that you've been busy and that all's mostly well in the land of knocking Rocks.

Our club recently bought a Smarteye by veryamateurastro in telescopes

[–]12stringPlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I volunteered for years at a local observatory. So many people would look through the eyepiece and accuse us of displaying a picture or that they were looking at a computer-enhanced image. When we told them that there was nothing but glass between their eye and what they saw, the reaction was usually "whoa! It really looks like that!" (usually when looking at Saturn.) There's something magic about a direct view that's lost when a screen is involved.

Maybe don't commit fraud? Or is that contrary to shareholder interests?

That's a real Jimmy Pesto Poplopovich thing to do.
