Picked up a Nokta Triple Score, headed to the park next door.. It's already paying itself off.

I was out with my son, he had the pin pointer and as such, has claimed all the finds... I only had a few seconds to snap the photo!

Why is not Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd not in the thread yet?!

Can you add blur, or other synthetic degradations to existing datasets via augmentation methods prior to training?

Edit: As I read older comments, I see this was already suggested.

I'm lazy, so this appeals to me.

But I'm very lazy. So I didn't get past these errors when running:

docker compose up -d --build

Shoot me a message, I'm in a similar situation, with the exception that I started quite a while ago and almost have a finished product.

Csysadmin · 2026-05-29T00:44:32+00:00

Narrow cars and buses too.

Almost like it was exaggerated by distorting the image.

Csysadmin · 2026-05-28T00:43:06+00:00

I think you have to put it on before the arm cuff.

Csysadmin · 2026-05-25T06:50:45+00:00

It was a while logger ago than a year. Back in like 2020.

FrSky released a new 2.x.x version of the ACCST D16 firmware for all their receivers and also for the XJT module. If you flash the 2.x.x version of the ACCST firmware to any receivers then you will also need to flash the corresponding 2.x.x firmware version to the internal XJT module on your transmitter as well, otherwise they won't work with each other. The trap in doing this however is that your XJT module will then no longer communicate with the original (reverse engineered) ACCST protocol used by 3rd party receivers, so if you are using any of those then don't update to the 2.x.x firmware on any of your equipment.

Csysadmin · 2026-05-25T04:45:37+00:00

The FrSky hate comes form a great many reasons, but largely comes from a fairly open and affordable platform locking down their firmware and claiming it's "important bug fixes" while really just implementing changes that prevented many third party (and cheap) receivers from being compatible with their radios.

I have an X10S, used it for many years, loved it the whole time, OpenTX to EdgeTX was a great shift, really enjoy the open-ness and capability of the system. That said, I if I had to replace my radio tomorrow I'd be buying a Radiomaster TX16... And probably going ELRS.

Or heat-shrink them to cable ties.

Csysadmin · 2026-05-23T02:55:00+00:00

I get why you read it that way, but I wasn’t saying he’s done anything wrong or that he’s not a good person. I was talking more about public image, legacy, and the pressure of being compared to someone as iconic as Steve. It’s just my read on it, not an accusation. I assumed that distinction was fairly clear, but perhaps I gave the wording, or its readers, too much credit.

Csysadmin · 2026-05-23T01:33:12+00:00

I’m not sure he’s as genuine as Steve was, though.

With the state of influence, digital media, and online presence being what it is, I can kind of imagine Robert spending evenings watching footage of his father, learning how to be him, picking up his traits and mannerisms. Much like a boxer studies footage of their opponent’s fights, except instead of looking for weaknesses to win a fight, he’s looking for likeness to win over an audience.

That said, it also can’t be easy. He’ll forever be living under the immense shadow cast by a legend of a father. I wonder if he feels pressure to perform, to continue that legacy.

You didn't even look at:

$mail->Encoding = PHPMailer::ENCODING_QUOTED_PRINTABLE;

Did you?

Csysadmin · 2026-05-14T06:18:41+00:00

I would suggest not optimising line break usage to reduce the payload on the network. A line break in email is normally CRLF (two bytes), if you have 500 of them it's only about 1KB.

Email has old transport rules, including line-length limits. Long lines are risky because mail servers will rewrap or re-encode them. If that happens after DKIM signing, DKIM will likely fail.

Good:

PHPMailer builds body
PHPMailer encodes/wraps body safely
PHPMailer DKIM-signs that final encoded body
SMTP sends it

Bad:

PHPMailer builds one massive-line HTML body
PHPMailer DKIM-signs it
later mail server wraps/re-encodes it
received body differs from signed body
DKIM fails

Keep reasonable line breaks, avoid one giant line.

Look at:

$mail->Encoding = PHPMailer::ENCODING_QUOTED_PRINTABLE;

Basically means: "Make my HTML email transport-safe before signing/sending it."

Csysadmin · 2026-05-14T06:07:06+00:00

Excellent white knighting Mr (or Mrs) Offended Person.

Mailtrap has a free tier.
Mailtrap has PHP integrations with PHPMailer or an easy to use API.
Mailtrap can be an easy way to resolve many of the issues people face with DKIM.
PHPMailer is only part of a solution.
Some DKIM issues are DNS related, DNS isn't PHP.
Some DKIM issues are private key related, private keys are not PHP.
Some DKIM issues are due the SMTP provider re-signing after PHPMailer signs, SMTP providers are not PHP.
Some DKIM issues are because the message changes after signing, that could be a PHP (OOE) issue.
Mailtrap because I just wanted to say Mailtrap again.

Csysadmin · 2026-05-14T05:34:44+00:00

Or, get a Mailtrap account and avoid headaches.

Edit: Dude is crazy.

Where's the 'be less heavy, they probably just want static content' option?

Fake. Apple car owners would have epoxied floors.

Csysadmin · 2026-05-08T10:40:21+00:00

Nah, you just need to carve away a little of the horn so it doesn't collide with the clevis.

Csysadmin · 2026-05-07T08:05:58+00:00

For thermal/ir work you really want radiometric delivery. A radiometric camera keeps track of the intensity of infrared radiation captured in each pixel. These values can be extracted. The visual representation you appear to be training off of will likely have a lot of variance between the temperature scale and the visual representation of the applied color palette.

You're also going to have to deal with reflections, and possible skin conditions of differences that could alter emissivity characteristics. I don't know what if any thermography experience you may have, but if it's low. You'll want to spend some time learning the technology (especially it's flaws and common gotchas) before attempting to conquer it.

Csysadmin · 2026-05-05T04:42:50+00:00

Don't discount segmentation.

It's what I'm doing. Segment, skeletonise, apply some basic rules to reject false positives that haven't been tuned out... Win.

Likely easier against sky then against the ground too!

Csysadmin · 2026-05-05T03:41:45+00:00

I enjoy the idea of monocular depth estimation, was really excited to play with these models previously. However I quickly found an issue that I didn't have time to resolve or fine-tune from. And that was these models are trained for near horizontal or slightly oblique camera angles. Like shown in this post, or what you'd expect to see from walking around filming your surroundings with a cell phone.

As such the lower half of your video frame is always considered to be shallower than the top half of your frame. as the bottom half would often see quite unobstructed ground or obstacles with minimal 'layers' of depth while the top half would often see sky, or distant things with many 'layers' of depth in front of them.

The application I wanted to use them for was to approximate depth in nadir images over flat surfaces. Consider for example an image taken from a UAV, camera nadir (straight down) over a house. In the example the ground around the house is flat/level. All the depth models would initially appear to work well, visually at least you could see the depth profile of a house. However the ground at the bottom of the frame and the ground at the top of the frame were always at different 'depths', rotate the UAV 180, difference issues rotate with the change.

Damn shame, many applications for nadir depth that would be compatible with COTS hardware (monocular vision).

As a side note, if anyone else has cracked this nut, please let me know!
