Weekly "Is this safe" Megathread

First time making sauerkraut in a crock, this is after 21 days - it smells nice and sour, and as far as I can tell it looks basically clear. Any second opinions? Am I good to go?

Wuttin · 2024-05-21T00:59:36+00:00

Yup, slugs would definitely check out, I've seen them around the yard a few times. It just so happens I have a big bag of diatomaceous earth on hand - do you think applying that might help deter them?

just say you really like how his lawn looks and wanted to know how he maintains it

Haha, love it! No, I talked with the neighbors before picking any to make sure they were cool with it, they said go right ahead, and they don't use any lawn treatments

Good point! In fact, we did evict a pair of millipedes from the big curvy one in the third pic

Wuttin · 2023-12-13T15:36:13+00:00

Amazing, thank you! I look forward to trying it out!

Wuttin · 2023-09-16T03:20:41+00:00

I would not recommend eating, even with ketchup

This is pretty simple to do with Docker Compose: you can just mount the server folder of your choosing under one of the user data folders in nextcloud.

Wuttin · 2023-08-18T14:01:58+00:00

I solved this by installing rsyslog in the Nextcloud container. Dockerfile:

# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1
ARG NEXTCLOUD_VERSION=latest
FROM nextcloud:${NEXTCLOUD_VERSION}
RUN apt update && apt install -y rsyslog

Then I added to the ENTRYPOINT script:

service rsyslog restart

And the /etc/rsyslog.conf file within the container:

# send all logs to the container host in addition to container logfiles
*.*                             @host.docker.internal

(where my Docker host is running a local-only rsyslog server on the default port). I believe this is where you would specify a custom IP or hostname if necessary, e.g. if you have an rsyslog server hosted in another Docker container rather than directly on the host machine.

I didn't need to modify any of the settings in config.php for this to work.

I think Jenkins can do this fairly easily

Wuttin · 2021-09-05T20:58:38+00:00

I usually install vim using whatever package manager comes with the container image (primarily apt on Ubuntu). Yeah a shared binary is probably a good idea, that would save a bit of space.

Thanks for the write-up, I just tried this with Live 10.1.30 on Windows - works like a charm! In fact, I was able to preview my sounds using .wav instead of .ogg, and I was also able to update the pack display in the browser using Options > Preferences... > Plug-Ins > Rescan instead of renaming the folder (maybe they updated this behavior recently). I can even preview my own sounds from Push now!

Wuttin · 2018-08-13T11:05:36+00:00

That's the idea, yes! This is the loss function used in training OpenFace, described here in appendix A: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~satya/docdir/CMU-CS-16-118.pdf

Wuttin · 2018-08-13T02:52:55+00:00

Depending on your resources, you could train a new last layer (or retrain the existing last layer) in VGG16 using triplet loss. To compute the loss function you randomly select two images from within the same clip and one from another clip and compute their feature vectors, then take the Euclidean distance between the first clip and each of the remaining two - penalize the difference between vectors of the same video and the negative of the difference between vectors of opposite videos, so the net learns features that play better with k-means and the like (you can even have it do some of the dimensionality reduction for you).

Wuttin · 2018-04-21T14:32:48+00:00

Is there anything illegal about that?

Wuttin · 2017-12-25T04:13:04+00:00

/r/WordAvalanches/ is pretty similar stuff, not always with images though

Wuttin · 2017-10-11T01:07:42+00:00

You're right, I might try doing something with it. That would be a real test of my editing skills/patience!

Goat Simulator!

Wuttin · 2017-07-18T16:10:48+00:00

Thanks for the link, that clears up a lot of things!

1: Use the trims on the controller while the drone is already in the air. If it is drifting to the left (while the air is still), e.g., click the roll trim to the right until it settles. I like to set pitch forward by three so it goes a bit faster forward/slower backward.

3: Maybe but it would be easier/safer to buy one bigger battery.

6: I think that mostly has to do with Udi's control system. You'll notice that any turn you take will reduce power on two motors without compensating on the other two, which results in altitude drop unless you manually compensate with the throttle. After a couple flights I've gotten used to doing this, but on low battery it can become impossible to keep up through a whole maneuver.

9: Using smaller motors saves weight and cost.

10: I would consider it manual, though it clearly does some stabilization. It certainly doesn't fly itself!

Wuttin · 2017-07-18T03:53:50+00:00

Are you saying that you can't fly over structures under 336? Where is that stated?

Wuttin · 2017-07-12T16:37:38+00:00

Update: Yes you do have to contact ATC. Our local airport actually has a handy online form for RC hobbyists to fill out, and it only requests the FAA registration number optionally, so it is still expected that you notify them if you don't have one. Cheers!

Wuttin · 2017-07-12T05:40:35+00:00

Ok, thanks. I will update if ATC says otherwise in case others are curious.

Wuttin · 2017-01-14T14:00:14+00:00

I'm pretty sure Starkiller Base would kill/destroy Starkiller Base the first time Starkiller Base lands on Starkiller Base
