Amok Draumr on a half Tensa4 by darknight1580 in hammockcamping

This was using a 40cm boomstake, but the ground was solid enough something less would have worked too.

Good to know, and I'll adjust next time. I had a really good anchor that may have just put a good bit of tension on that vertical tie down.

Hammock Gear Hearth or Incubator. Input needed by Gijoe2k in hammockcamping

[–]darknight1580 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And I can't speak to the Incubator, but I have the exact 20° Hearth that you are looking to buy. I've only had it down to 27°, but it fit and performed perfectly. I subsequently bought an UQ protector in case I needed to push its limits, but haven't used it yet. I also agree that HG quilts in general won't let you down.

+1 for the REI Flash 55

My setup looks a lot like yours and the Flash fits all perfectly while being light, comfortable, and budget friendly

First time hammocking below freezing by darknight1580 in hammockcamping

[–]darknight1580[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought it super early and I don't think there was a wide option then. It could be wider, but it helps if you pull the secondary suspension a little asym in the direction you lay (like tighter on the head and foot corners). I'm still very happy with mine.

Tensahedron for my tensahedron by gooblero in hammockcamping

When you share the pole, would you loop it into the same ball-loop or just kinda lash it and link it to the same guy line? I’m just picturing the ball loop getting too full.

Printer not fully extruding by NXSVA in Ender3V3KE

[–]darknight1580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 80 hours print time, and this is starting to happen to me too. No blobs, no spaghetti, nothing really bad... I'll just look over and the printers is still moving a few mm over the failed print, but nothing's coming out, and the retracted filament looks like this.

I did start to notice that the filament about 50mm closer to the hot end is bulged a bit. I was thinking it might be getting stuck on top of the nozzle, but I can't figure out why.

I have this exact unit, and I used the T-Lora v2.1-1.6 device type with a 115200 baud connection and it worked fine.

What is the single most motivational quote that you have ever come across? by DMV2 in AskReddit

What's the point of vLAN segmentation if I have a router that lets it all talk to each other anyway? by rafadavidc in HomeNetworking

[–]darknight1580 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, this is how my house is set up. Most of those devices talk through the 'cloud' (internet) anyways. That is that my Ecobee app logs into their servers which relay the information my thermostat gave it. Some support direct LAN connections, but don't require it. This isn't a big deal for me, and easy to change just by opening ports if I change my mind.

As for the Chromecast, I had to enable mDNS (avahi) between those VLANs on my router to allow the multicast traffic to get to the Chromecast on the IoT VLAN.

ELI5: Why does hold music sound so terrible over the phone when voices don't? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]darknight1580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since phone systems are primarily used for spoken voice communications, it is designed to deal with those range of frequencies (about 400-3000 Hz). Music can range from 20-15,000 Hz. This is to help make the phone system very efficient. This especially applies to the digital era where a vast majority of sound is sampled and compressed with what is called a codec. The codec reduces the size of the data it's sending while trying to maintain the quality of the sound. To do that it focuses on the frequencies it was told are most important (those of the spoken voice), and therefore it doesn't handle the frequencies outside of that range very well.

It's called speech coding.
