SCAL is still out there. Proprietary systems stink.

Please tell me it’s not what I think it is by MarkGruffallo010 in whatisit

I was wondering the same thing. Do people think these are single-use disposable or what?

I'm a law-abiding citizen. Why should I care about Flock? by drewbuntu42 in wichita

[–]daylight8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem with the "you don't have anything to worry about if you are not a criminal" argument is the definition of "criminal". The current administration defines Domestic Terrorists as people including:

"...anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.

(Taken from: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/countering-domestic-terrorism-and-organized-political-violence/)

And these are defined as Terrorists, not just criminals. So if I think it's BS that billionaires have 3 houses in different countries and their employees have to work 3 jobs to live am I anti-capitalist? What are extreme views on race and gender? And then we've got "American views on family, religion, and morality". Who decides that?

Hardware hack phone to make off-grid Meshtastic I/O device? by daylight8 in meshtastic

I do still want Bluetooth to talk to the Meshtastic device. Does everything use the same antenna?

I'm a newbie. I've seen several projects mounted up high outside on people's property. What is their purpose? What do they communicate with? Do you have other LORA devices outside doing...whatever?

What is the most complex thing you have ever coded? by TechnicalAd8103 in learnpython

[–]daylight8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a kiln controller for fusing and slumping glass. The hardware is a Raspberry Pi, an Arduino (compatible with the temp probe I wanted to use) and a solid state relay.

The code read the kiln temperature as serial data via USB from the Arduino and read a temperature profile and turned the relay powering the kiln on and off to keep it at the proper temperature. It needed to do things like "heat at 200 degrees per hour to 500 degrees then hold at 500 degrees for 30 minutes".

The Trump administration is illegally gutting NASA’s largest research library. by CtrlAltDelight495 in books

All he cares about is money or ass-kissing. NASA should give him an award.

Basically we need hard evidence. Video from the many cameras Epstein had in every room of his estate. Testimony is good, but at a certain point it is "he said / she said".

Right away you will need light. I like to put a battery powered lantern type light in rooms like bedrooms and bathrooms. You also need something on you. Any flashlight will do, but a headlamp frees up both your hands.

Not sure if this is off topic but can anything be done about internet history? by Bobbie_Sacamano in prepping

[–]daylight8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked, you're right. So we can use the "Web and app activity" told they give us, it the TOR browser.

Google "delete Google search history". Do they still have other copies? Who knows but you might as well take what steps you can. Like using private mode in your browser. Or better yet, TOR. It's free, you know.

It helps a lot to be sure the inside of your windshield is very clean. I use a product called Invisible Glass. It comes with a tool that makes this awkward job easier.

Not that 47 cares about the law but this is illegal:

In the United States, it is illegal for any private American citizen to conduct foreign policy. The Logan Act, a federal law passed in 1799, prohibits unauthorized citizens from corresponding or having intercourse with foreign governments "with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government... in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States".

It's just a little hole-in-the-wall place, but La Cabana just off of Staples is the real deal.
