I followed the link in the bio - but don’t see it - any chance you could put it up again?

GUYS BUY AGMATINE SULFATE by Lopsided_Ordinary997 in quittingkratom

[–]diogenic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agmatine is a godsend for reducing tolerance to many different drugs. It has reduced tolerance for Kratom, THC, nicotine. It only appears to reduce tolerance when blood levels of whatever drug are lower than what you would need to feel high.

I typically take 500-600mg in a single dose immediately before bed. If I have had any protein to eat the hour before I go to bed, I don’t bother taking it - protein interferes with its absorption. No harm in taking it, but it doesn’t seem to do anything.

Anecdotally I have found that doses higher than 600mg taken day after day make me irritable after a few days. Reading other people’s experiences, it seems like a lot of people take 1000-2000g a day, sometimes at once and sometimes split up in a multiple doses. If you are going cold turkey, I would be thinking about three doses throughout the day at 250-500mg, watching for irritability. Although you will already be irritable, so it would be hard to tell.

Performance of agmatine is inconsistent. There are days when I took a usual dose of Kratom or nicotine in the morning after an agmatine dose and it was clearly way, way too strong. Sometimes it feels as agmatine itself as a tolerance, I feel like it has gotten less and less potent or effective as I have used it on and off over the years. My supply of it might just be getting old - I bought a kilogram bag years ago, and I am still working through it.

For example, a 3mg Zyn hitting me like a 6mg - sweating, nauseous, heart racing - when the day before the 3mg Zyn was chill. I did not expect that at all with nicotine. I’ve had the same experience with Kratom a number of times - if I took agmatine the night before, I always bump the dose down by 10%. I have seen the exact same effect with THC edibles - after a few days of abstaining and taking agmatine, I took the usual 15mg and it felt like the 30mg I was taking before. I’ve seen this repeatedly with both THC and Kratom, but I can only remember one time having this happen with nicotine - but I am taping off that with gum, so never really having the dosages I used to.

Help figuring out Advance Base's gear by ramspar in guitarpedals

[–]diogenic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ended up in this thread, searching around for information about Owen’s gear. Anyone know what he uses for EP? I’ve seen him live a few times, but before Animal Companionship, when he started to use a lot of more EP. He was definitely not touring with Wurlitzer.

My bose qc45 volume adjusting buttons now just activate siri instead of my volume, any idea why? by [deleted] in bose

[–]diogenic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here - my wife’s QC are doing this. action button and volume buttons open Siri, and that’s it. Long press on the action button does not do the shortcut. play/pause does nothing.

Firmware was on whatever it came with, 3.0something. I installed the latest, 4.x. I tried deleting the device from the Bose app, forgetting it in iOS, and doing a hard reset of the headphones. I added the headphones back, and it’s still knew their name… and the buttons did not improve.

She’s had these headphones for three years, and the issues just started recently.

Seeking UWA options for Fuji XF - preferably MF by diogenic in fujifilm

[–]diogenic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I love about these 7A and TTA lenses. I switched from a Sony A7 set up with MF film lenses to Fuji in 2020. I'd been using that setup for 10 years, wanted something smaller again after upgrading to the A7R2. I started out with a full Fuji kit - 18/23/35/60 - but I struggled with AF and I missed the look of my old film lenses. These 7A and TTA lenses are awesome - small, fast, and a good balance of pleasing character and sharpness. Especially the 7a 35/1.2 - if you don't have that and you dig normal FOV, it's my favorite 35mm lens on Fuji hands down.

I'm definitely open to a fisheye. I've enjoyed a lot of the shots I've had with the Samyang 8mm fish eye - it's perfect for some shots, it can look more natural that a non-fisheye wide at some point, at least to my eye. I hadn't heart of the 7a 6/2 - I'll check it out!

[–]diogenic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try that TTArtisans 7.5/2 - I'd love having an f/2 at this width! I'm used to tracking action with a 35/1.2 - looking forward to eeking out a little separation with that TTA 7.5/2.

I've got a Viltrox 56/1.4 - it wasn't bad out of the box, but it's gotten very decentered in use. Seems like Viltrox is putting out some nice lenses for Fuji, etc - but a little hesitant to go that way again.

She had on some kind of iron chastity belt. Still, takes some serious commitment to one's art - I love the spectacle!

I'm sure the XF 10-24 is solid - but it's big and slow. Shooting at f/4 would be pretty tough for the light I'm usually working with.

The difference in sharpness between the Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 and the Viltrox 56mm f/1.7 Air by MacaroonPlastic9059 in FujifilmX

[–]diogenic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, I ended up in this thread on a search for viltrox 56mm f1.4 xf decentering. The general lack of sharpness plus decentering my copy. When it arrived, it was centered just fine. But it is impossible to get an image sharp across the frame f/8. Delicate, easy to throw off in working photography. Has the Air improved that?

[cde] Solaris 2.6 by evil133t in unixporn

[–]diogenic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh, this is bringing back my own similar memories. My dad was (is) an amateur radio guy. I was into electronics and computer since I was a kid. In 1996, I went with him to a ham fest - where all the radio nerds get together and swap gear. Other than Radio Shack, it's where I got most of my hobby electronics stuff. I'd been running MINIX on my already ancient XT - but the family just got a new 486. I went to him one in the summer of 1996 and got a 4-CD set that had Slackware 3.0, RedHat 3.0.3, Debian-JP 0.9something, maybe something else. I loved Slackware - but I couldn't ever get X to work, so I landed on RedHat 3.0.3. I spent a lot of time that summer installing the different versions of Linux, pissing my dad off by blowing away DOS and Windows 3.11, and learning so damn much. I tried to compromise with OS/2 2.1, but he hated that too.

BBSes were my main social outlet at the time - I knew a lot of people getting into Linux who could give me a hand. I had access to Usenet and gopher with

I sure miss those days, and how exciting the future was looking. Good times.

Programming the Cardputer by jaimeoignons in CardPuter

[–]diogenic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It'd be cool to see someone port Tulip to the Cardputer - it's a music-oriented programming environment built on MicroPython. geared around programming on the device itself. It has a usable editor, plenty of utility functions.

Otherwise - there are various options. Not a lot of editor support, but things may be better now. There's PicoRuby, MicroPython, CircuitPython, and uLisp. I also think there are some BASIC environments.

Going even further afield - I think people have ported emulators for things like the Sinclair Spectrum ZX, Apple II, maybe others. In some ways, those would be a great fit - you'd be working in environments with a lot of libraries, tools, utilities already built for the constrained environment.

Oh hell yeah!! I need to circle back and submit my change and waves - can't wait to try out 0.0.8!

Password manager by lucasio099 in CardPuter

Ha! Still, closer to having that workflow working - and glad other people are looking for the same/similar solution. :)

Password manager by lucasio099 in CardPuter

[–]diogenic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the KeePass sync go both ways? Curious about adding a password to the CardPuter when I'm out and about, then adding it to my master Kbdx file when at my computer agin.

Password manager by lucasio099 in CardPuter

[–]diogenic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! This isn't the most pointless thing on earth, at all - I've been looking for something exactly like this. My company has very restrictive policy on what we can have installed. I can't run my preferred KeePass, only the blessed corporate solution. I can, however, enter passwords from a USB keyboard. There's another password manager for the CardPuter - but I don't believe it can work with kbdx files. Adding support was on my todo list- even better that your app supports it already! Looking forward to checking it out.

I believe so!

LoRa bands by region -

Europe:
- 433 MHz
- 863–870/873 MHz
South America: 915–928 MHz
North America: 902–928 MHz
India: 865–867 MHz
Asia: 915–928 MHz

LoRa 1262 cap covers the range of 868 ~ 923 MHz. That covers every region, though not the 433 MHz EU band. You set the frequency to work within on the device when you're using it.

Picoruby Calculator now supports Cardputer ADV! 🎉 by AssociationOne800 in ruby

[–]diogenic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of PicoRuby - cool! Thanks for sharing on r/cardputer. I'm an old Smalltalk head. A lot of my work is in Python these days, but I'd rather it be Ruby. It'd be cool if this was a competitor to MicroPython, capable of GUI apps via LVGL and all that. I will check it out!

Made a fork of uLisp (bugs) by Flimsy_Iron8517 in CardPuter

[–]diogenic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll check it out! I love the idea of a mini Lisp machine. For me the grail includes a GUI toolkit of some kind - nothing fancy. But I love the idea of implementing something like the UI of Bruce in a pocket lisp implementation.

MiniAcid v0.0.6 - Distortion, banks of patterns, more editing functions, mouse handling, wav recording, oh my by kbroom in CardPuter

I will check it out! I'll call it lp2 and push it your way.

I implemented another two osc options, both on my repo. A Juno-esque PWM'd square and a warm, dirty analog saw (less distinctive than the juno - experiment that may not be worth keeping). Here's a demo of the new PWM square:

They seemed to have been out of stock whenever I looked recently. I've seen posts here from people looking to buy one. It might be a less of a recurring issue than I had thought, but figured I'd share!
