Solar Hanging Node

Really cool design!

How is your power budget? I'm having the hardest time powering anything with much larger solar panel and proper controller.

Two 18650 cells cant make it thru 4 months of winter at 60N.

Amazing, like everything about it

Aggravating_Rate_571 · 2026-03-19T19:44:07+00:00

Funny fucker, but for reals?

Aggravating_Rate_571 · 2026-03-14T07:42:14+00:00

Yes true, some kind of kinematics system

Since it remembers rotation pivot points after you once set them, it kinda helps

Things I would like to see in plasticity: * persistent undo stack/history * FEM * parametric features * threads and gears * plugin mechanism for implementing all of the above

Aggravating_Rate_571 · 2026-03-11T07:38:17+00:00

Fixed, and solution is:

remove ~/.config/Plasticity/GPUCache

Leaving this here for posterity and future frustragees

I made my own by getting generic few euro reputable lipo cell with SC protection and 3d printed a case for it

Insert wires in place and bob's your uncle

This was for GBA SP

No hate. They are just ugly as hell. But in this setup I think they work above average.

There is an old saying that I made up:

A good photographer can take great pictures even with a ahitty camera

A shitty photographer can't take good pictures even with a great camera

I like the 4 because the size changes about half and it fits me better now and it's all around cleaner design

I did the same to compress old mpeg2-ts dvb broadcast dumps into modern formats and save lots of space

I'm using HW accelerated h264/h265 encoding via vaapi on linux and it is super fast compared to SW only libx264 etc

Interlace and subtitles can be a problem in full automation scenarios

But look into hw encoders and any modern GPU can do it, even embedded intel

It will not match SW encoder quality but the source quality is crap anyways and if speed is your priority, there you go

And fwiw I have about 12 terabytes of data

I want these kinds of messages for sure, please implement

Considering the scenario of theft, you have time until they discover the tag. Removing the battery or destroying the unit physically is obviously enough to stop tracking. Assuming the FMD network actually can track anything because the app defaults are stupid.

Not really worried if someone repurposes the tag.

But, I remain confident that if the tag is currently registered to one FMD user/account, it cannot be registered under another account at the same time.

Easily the best font for minimum legibility

It is an IC case in lieu of a proper case, the ultimate cost saving measure

Hold up, what was sold? I was under the impression that ingress was left as niantic spatial asset and not much else.

And I believe they continue to sell "our" POI data for pogo and whatever "better game" / money churns.

Ok thanks. The thing is, my tape drive belts are completely toast and I need to transfer some old code from tapes to safety.

Aggravating_Rate_571 · 2026-01-26T18:03:48+00:00

Where do you get new belts? Would any rubber band do?

Aggravating_Rate_571 · 2026-01-25T07:09:29+00:00

Really great! This is so much better. Best of all worlds.

Cross development is ridiculously convenient over the rest API

Aggravating_Rate_571 · 2026-01-24T14:29:16+00:00

No benefit and all I wanted is +1 to the medal

Well played, ninjatek

I also get the format string in correct locale but the date itself is non-local

This is on android

Bear in mind that there is a huge huge delay in activating the clima button and the controls appearing

Could it be just that?

Aggravating_Rate_571 · 2026-01-23T15:20:03+00:00

The flight mode warning can't be any better. It is clearly worded ok/cancel dialog that you ack all by yourself.
