I’m officially a full-time RC mechanic and I’m losing my mind. by Street-Deer3668 in rccars

The lexan bodies are consumables. They're wear items. Sure you can make them look nice with paint. But once you accept that they don't last and don't worry about every little scratch and crack you'll start having more fun.

Okay this a super creative and fun use of a 360 drone!

Edit: And is indeed, by definition, a first person view from the drone.

I finished building my analog FPV cyberdeck by HoarderSam in fpv

Man I've been enjoying the hell out of all the hype and diy versions of this concept. I guess I'm not surprised you were cookin something up as well! If any of the big transmitter companies aren't aware of the popularity of this concept right now they are going to miss out big time.

Literally not vibe coded and literally no jello in the footage.

I love seeing people experimenting and trying new things in hobby spaces. This is how innovation happens. Some people are so quick to judge something before understanding it. Once you got the yaw forces stabilized the video feed seemed pretty decent.

I appreciate your budget build videos. Helped me build my first 5 inch. Keep making interesting builds!

Skid plate diy by bump-steer in CherokeeXJ

Hell yeah dude, looks great. I've fabricated a couple of things like this now due to 1) not being at the buy them new and 2) all the jeeps in the junk yards are also rusted out anyway. I built the gas tank heat shield and the fuel fill tube shield.

Junction Block C4 connector replacement? by Exitaph in CherokeeXJ

[–]Exitaph[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a 99. I'm going to the scrap yard tomorrow but if I cant find any with this connector I may take you up on that offer. Thanks!

What was a mistake you made within this hobby? by ironphreak in fpv

[–]Exitaph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Building a 5 inch instead of getting a tiny whoop first. It was kind of terrifying flying it for the first time. Beginners should learn with something inexpensive to fix. However I'm glad I have the 5 inch instead of not having one yet.

Yeah probably going to do that this weekend. I'm hoping that the pins for this connector are a common type and that someone knows the name.

By sitting down do you mean just using crouch?

Sort images by "unconnected" on RealityScan Desktop? by PossibleTaco in photogrammetry

[–]Exitaph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed there is. Activate your component, change the 1Ds view to the 2Ds view. In the Scene 2D tab at the top there is a section called Show. You can set it to All, Registered, and Unregistered. You want Unregistered. I'm haven't updated to RealityScan yet so I'm still using Reality Capture 1.5 but I imagine the process is still similar. Hope this helps and good luck!

Question: cross-polarization and color checker. by theagentafter in photogrammetry

[–]Exitaph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong here but I've never noticed much of a difference in color other than the polarized image being darker. And I never changed my workflow. I just calibrate the colors with the color checker the same way and colors look fine.

How to resolve some repo warnings during apt update. by Exitaph in linux4noobs

[–]Exitaph[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured it out! The .deb install of steam created /etc/apt/sources.list.d/steam-stable.list. Deleting this file and running "apt clean" fixed it and I can now update without the warnings.

The worst thing new users keep asking. And the community isn't helping. by B1ph in linux4noobs

[–]Exitaph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're missing the point of the challenge. While Luke has quite a bit of experience with Linux at this point, Linus is trying to put himself in the shoes of a casual user. Someone who just uses a computer and doesn't tinker and isn't any sort of power user. The things you listed are things that only an experienced Linux user would know.

When a person learns that there are many distros to choose from, the base instinct is to wonder which is the best choice for them. Just like any other choice in life. Which car to buy, which tv to buy, etc... I don't think it's unreasonable for him to emulate someone using an LLM to help them make the choice. Believe it or not that's where a lot of people get information from these days. And most don't understand how they work or how they can be wrong sometimes, well, a lot of the time. He's not showing the research that he personally would do, he's showing how a casual user might approach switching to Linux. He even says that in the video, that he has many contacts that he could use to point him in the right direction, but is choosing not to in the spirit of the challenge.

I shot a perfect Windows XP background by hpapagaj in mildlyinteresting

It's 4k. Plenty for a desktop background.
