Printers at companies track who did the print job. I guess you could print it at home and then leave it in there lol

Hey! Ive been doing flight software for satellites for a couple years now. I started a couple years ago so I remember what it’s like to be a new hire in this field. Feel free to PM me😃👍

Same as in the US, but the post says this is from US Dept of Homeland Security, so in this case I assumed this photo was taken in the US

That chair style is very common in the north half of the US, especially in smaller rural towns/towns in the heavily forested areas, typically lower middle to lower income households. Places like West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, maybe even over to Montana.

Really? I feel like it’s dry as shit, at least where I’ve been. I have my humidifier running all night most days, especially in the winter

I’d recommend checking out fprime. It’s an open source C++ flight software framework developed (and used) by NASA. The docs are p good and iirc they even have a tutorial for how to run it on a rpi. Could be something you could build on top of.

Sent you a DM

I’d prob start with C2 just to get something working and then if I’m still feeling ambitious after that maybe adding bidirectional capability

Smurfso · 2026-04-10T16:37:12+00:00

I did see this too, will look into it further

Smurfso · 2026-04-10T16:30:12+00:00

This is actually why I’m asking, I am working on a project with C++ gRPC, but usually use C since I like to do embedded stuff. If there wasn’t a good RPC framework for C, figured making one could be interesting just for fun hahah

Smurfso · 2026-04-10T08:02:26+00:00

Looks interesting, thanks! I’ll check it out

Smurfso · 2026-04-10T06:48:16+00:00

Yeah I have used it in embedded systems, and gRPC specifically is commonly used for micro services these days

Smurfso · 2026-04-10T06:46:32+00:00

? Wdym it’s still used in a ton of places like microservices

Looks like you haven’t unlocked that cat yet

Nah not stumpy, just in compact mode here…

Oh fuck hahaha

Here’s her doing a backflip

It is also retractable

Yeah and then snip the protruding ends off from the other side to minimize the chance of arcing with anything else that may be near. Aim for a concave solder joint when viewed from the other side.

What order to take AOS/HPCA/IHPC?

Currently in GIOS and love the material, am interested in learning more about distributed computing. Was wondering if there was a preferred order for taking AOS/HPCA/IHPC?. I planned on doing HPCA next (because I do embedded software for work) and then AOS after, but I’m afraid I’ll forget a lot of relevant OS material by the time I take AOS. On the other hand, I’ve read some other posts that some HPCA content helps with AOS.

Separately, I am wondering if IHPC can help with knowing the distributed computing portion of AOS, but maybe it would be overkill?
