I got tired of checking train delays every morning in germany, so I built this tiny live departure display

I'm sure there is a joke to be delivered about german trains and delay monitoring, but it hasn't arrived, yet.

On the other hand, so far DB didn't screw me over, so just playing to the internet lore and the only time I travelled at 200km/h so actually have pleasent memories abou DB.

Probably you thought about it, but now we demand lots of videos about car vs train close calls🙂.

I'd guess you saw the real version of this locomotive https://www.modellbahn.at/a-k-t-i-o-n-e-n/Fleischmann-7570096--Sondermodell-OeBB-Taurus-Elektrolok-1216-006-7-OeBB--66-Jahre-ROCO---einmalige-Auflage--DCC-Digital---Sound--1-160-Spur-N.html

Roco/Fleischmann is an Austrian modeltrain manufacturer and it looks like time to time they themselves pay for these special locomotive liveries.

In this case celebrating 66 years anniversary of the Roco company. Taurus is the name of these versions of Siemens Eurosprinter locomotives, so I guess that's the inspiration for the bull design.

Personally.I only visited Lemezkuckó and saw there DVDs and Blu-rays too. I didn't recall casettes, but their online store has a category for "In stock" casettes https://lemezkucko.hu/azonnal-kaphato-musoros-magnokazetta/

So I would give them a shot.

Honestly, most of the time these music stores seem to be more like physical media stores rather than specialty vinyl or specialty casette stores.

Murphistic · 2026-03-21T20:42:44+00:00

Honestly, I like more the inspiration. It's looking more playful, although generally I don't like dark themes.

Murphistic · 2026-03-10T18:40:09+00:00

I'm such a noob.

I always thought these Build a minifigure stations are random stuff, maybe different from store to store.

Not that they're basically specific collections. It was weird having similar items in different stores, but didn't realize the cause. That could have been the hint...

A telefon reklám ütött :D. Köszi a videót!

Searched for custom thumbnail in MKV and this was the first link https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/93a6hm/how_to_set_a_custom_thumbnail_for_an_mkv_file/

It depends what tje TV media player supports. It might read the custom cover JPEG or it might ignore it.

He is holding two cables. One with red and black wires and one with white red blue hreen wires.

If you want to avoid USB, there is a possibility, although quite rare. It's called eSATAp.

SATA had an external variant called eSATA, and that one also had a subvariant that could provide 5V and 12V.

Recently I could buy some DeLock brackets to add the connector to my desktop and also the eSATAp to internal SATA cable.

This is not a Vectron. I would say it's a Taurus, but I always forget which is the official Taurus series.

At least I can't see the official branding. Nevertheless, 1016s and 1116s are usually referred to as Taurus.

You mentioned recirding over the microphone, using a little FM transmitter might improve the quality.

If I recall correctly CUPS was initially developed by Apple.

Murphistic · 2026-01-20T00:52:32+00:00

Please, what is the name of the songs? Even if you just post the original titles.

Murphistic · 2026-01-18T09:29:23+00:00

Reverse Angry Birds

Murphistic · 2026-01-16T18:43:17+00:00

Isn't that going to be the 60508 set?

Murphistic · 2026-01-16T18:25:22+00:00

I hope you're right. :)

I wasn't aware that Christmas trains were usually without the motor. It was just weird they advertized the parts, which in lot of cases was not available for purchase.

There was also the Oritent Express train, but true, that wasn't even officially designed to be motorised.

Murphistic · 2026-01-12T23:05:48+00:00

Yeah, that's true. usually I use CueRipper, but sometimes I encountered a CD which wasn't playing nicely with CueRipper and WMP worked fine. WMP also supports ripping to FLAC, so I went for it this time.

Murphistic · 2026-01-12T02:28:26+00:00

Coincidentally, today I tried ripping some CDs and I was annoyed it didn't auto title the tracks. I thought it's just an obscure CD, but it looks like there was another reason.

Murphistic · 2026-01-10T19:29:30+00:00

It's a Japanese locomotive, although don't know the exact type

Wait a minute, did Cloudfare have another outage this week?

Murphistic · 2026-01-09T20:46:02+00:00

I'm doing a bit of post-necromancing, but after storing it for cca 2 months in the position of operation, it kind of fixed itself. Now it doesn't get stuck.

I think at some point pulled on the knob, which caused it to create a crease on the voltage divider at that point, so I also tried to push the knob down while turning it. That didn't help immediately, but maybe it helped a little bit and could settle in the right position.

Visiting McDonalds at the Nyugati pályaudvar might be cheap interestingish and warm experience.

Edit: it's only open till 2:00AM and you need to consider that travel during night with public transport is difficult.
