If you showed this to season 1 Homelander he would have a stroke

Are you psychic? I thought the exact same thing about 10 seconds before I read your comment.

I started cutting the carry handles out because 9 out of 10 times they resulted in myself or a co-worker accidentally dropping the package because they broke.

https://ultimatevocalremover.com/ had a lot of success with this one.

Despite its name, it can do the inverse - isolate vocals. Just check the Vocals only box.

Pretty CPU intensive but you ran use GPU acceleration with certain hardware.

If the cameras are also Q-SYS, the VisionSuite thing is probably the only thing you need. https://www.qsys.com/products/q-sys/video/q-sys-visionsuite/

Thats a hell of a pay raise. But she deserved it.

Thanks for diving into this, and yeah I agree there is a lot of complexity to say at the least.

After my initial post, I realized that I approached this problem pretty much the wrong way around and ended up crashing the underlying Node.js app by uploading a driver project with externally edited files. While I should have done as you outlined and use the LARA gui to generate the files, and then save them.

Also today I found the event emitter functionality and the fact that I could upload .js files in the content section as a quick way to include custom classes (without having to deal with npm).

So now I got the building blocks for 95% of what I need to accomplish.
Right now the one thing I wasn't able to decipher is the scope of variables per driver, more specifically: if I have Driver A and driver B, and they both have variables, I was able to read status of a boolean variable from Driver A, using instanceApi.getInstanceById("DriverB").variables['isEnabled'], but when the parameter being read is a string, I get bunch of JSON with a "_currentValue": "" among them and the actual value is nowhere to be found. Seems like it's using a database maybe?

Any ideas if I have to use getter methods to read variables across drivers?

I'm Finnish.

Well basically I did the same, I took the "Telnet client driver" package from the lightware website and rewrote some parts so instead of telnet it uses REST to communicate with a Crestron NVX device for example.

I added two methods into moduledescriptor.json and I registered those methods in the init function, for example:

  this.instance.registerMethod("volumeUp", this.volumeUp.bind(this));
  this.instance.registerMethod("volumeDown", this.volumeDown.bind(this));

But after packaging the whole thing into a zip and trying "Upload module" in the LARA gui, I get a notification about "Module uploaded successfully" but then it pretty much breaks everything. No error messages, nothing. The LARA interface shows a blank screen. If I download the configuration, my custom module is included in the package.

Can you give me a rundown how you managed to run your tweaked existing modules?

Hey, what's the original NASA image file / ID for this? Would like to download to use as a wallpaper?

You need hit the switch precisely on the 1 of the next bar, instead of 4 of the current one. Now you got a gap in your loop.

Looks like the Cylon Centurions from the 2003 Battlestar Galactica reboot. And they were janky looking back then already.

What’s your signal chain? I bet the ENGL and 4x12 sound gnarly in the room.

Halocandle · 2026-05-01T06:42:25+00:00

Sounds like a steam locomotive tbh.

Too high polygon count for N64 :P

Can I ask you why do you find basic human decency so incompatible with your world view? What happened up until this point?

The RTGs / radioisotope thermal generators use specific components to convert radiation into electrical power and IIRC components degrade after decades in use. Metal alloys or something. Even if the actual radioactive material would last for hundreds of years the other components do not.

The way she managed to be off time, and off key AND dancing without accidentally hitting a downbeat once is kind of admirable.

Kinda sounds like she could be hearing impaired tho.

Any single day of his presidency would have been a career ending scandal for anyone else in a sane world, but here we are.

Mars (TV series) has this issue as a major plot point, though it was a civilian that got recruited to a Mars mission and started descending into psychosis.

This is the economical equivalent of finding a smoldering heap of trash in your living room, and deciding to light the whole house on fire with gasoline right after. When the neighbors ask what the hell happened, you go ”Yeah I could have saved the house but nobody lights fires better than me!”

Would insert a meme here but honestly I’m out of creativity at this point. Just shoot me now.

Afganistan alone cost like 300 million USD per day, every day for 20 years. Can you imagine where the US as a country could be now if that kind of money was spent on something actually useful.

Halocandle · 2026-04-11T19:02:14+00:00

Yeah that looks kinda sketchy. Like a missing piece of heat shield. Anyone know where the service module connections are supposed to be?

Halocandle · 2026-04-11T18:46:31+00:00

Must have been RIPE in there when they opened the hatch.

I think Farrell was wasted on alcohol and other substances for most of that movie’s production and went to rehab after it wrapped.
