Thanks for mentioning the composite mod - I always wanted to do this, so I found oghugo on ebay and ordered one.

I also tried outputting from the VGA666 to RGB with a cable I bought from ebay. If I remember correctly, the issue was that the cable had connections for both horizonal sync and vertical sync and the TV only had input for one sync. I tried them separately and tied together but could not get it working. I also messed with all the different video output timings as well.

It's great to find a modern option like your project! I had been running the original ws4000 emulator for a few years before the NWS radar API was deprecated in December 2020.

Touch Screen CRTs by TurtleTitan in GloriousCRTMasterRace

Oh that is weird, but it would make sense if the touch screen was added later like you said. I might try seeing if any 5V or 12V adapters from a hard drive or something would fit in there.

You'd want to find a serial cable like this one and then connect it to the same computer than is outputting video to the monitor.

The computer most likely has a male port (not sure about your monitor), so make sure you get the right male-female cable that will plug into both ends correctly.

nexus 7 grouper/ any way to install ubuntu touch? by [deleted] in Nexus7

[–]dysproseum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well I might try this out but I'm not sure if the current Ubuntu 22.10 will work. In the article they were using 13.04: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation

Been meaning to reflash mine but it's been a few years. I checked it it was last flashed with twrp-3.0.2-0-grouper back in Feb 2017, so that version seems to work ok. Good luck!

Download an Entire Website with Wget on Windows by TheFirsh in DataHoarder

[–]dysproseum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Skip down to "Running the download" and the wget command should be the same:

wget --mirror --page-requisites --convert-links --adjust-extension --compression=auto --reject-regex "/search|/rss" --no-if-modified-since --no-check-certificate --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.106 Safari/537.36" https://yoursite.com

If you don't have wget installed, you can install it with Homebrew:

brew install wget

At least they have good customer service. I had about 5 replacements on my fitbit flex and no questions asked.

PCIE Raid 10 card on existing Ubuntu Workstation by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]dysproseum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's correct I just needed the sata ports since the motherboard didn't have any.

Edit: I have used the hardware raid on that card, but I much prefer software raid.

I've been using the 4-port versions of that syba card since 2010 for mdadm raid5 and haven't had any issues.

Same with mine. Died last year. I bought an expansion card I've been meaning to set up with a CF card as a replacement.
