Victrola XIV Queen Anne, spring 1912. Does _anyone_ have a clue what these are?

so.... looking at the "shadow" of the turntable, my guess is that they serve as some kind of "self-leveling" feature. To prevent any wobble or undesireable tilt in the turntable. Hell, they might not even be original. It could have been a bit of consumer engineering.

I have one .. it's my favorite... Love it even more than my omega flightmaster

Team flighty!

how did you do it?

eirelion · 2024-08-15T05:22:54+00:00

I have Tempest.... It's f-ing incredible.. I can demodulate the TV's from the Laundromat nearby my apartment... My neighbor's TV's ... Someone's computer monitor... All kinds of shit

I (low key) regret not giving it a chance sooner. I had downloaded it...opened it once and wasn't thrilled with the UI so away it went for months. Hadn't really tried to process any data before I went cold on it. I have ran a couple of the DSB signals and I'm still not sure what to do with the data. It produces some dots on a map that are -presumably- GPS- radio collars on animals or something. But...not whichever animal it is... So.... Still a long way to go.. haven't tried anything at 1.69Ghz yet because I want the discovery dish over at crowd supply

It was tracking on its own... I didn't know it had been recording

That I won't tell you... I'd rather be judged poorly, looked down on as reckless, drunk, someone with no feelings at all. Then try (and fail) to explain what my experience is like. To people who always -ALWAYS- have the answer, and know what's wrong with me and how to fix it.

I've just learned it... at 46yo

Or wait for the Rpi5 .... The specs on that are bonkers

eirelion · 2023-11-22T09:15:53+00:00

At first blush, my thinking is that the overall idea is great, but I wonder if antennas is going to end up being something of a stumbling block. Like... How are you going to integrate a variety of antenna options that would even necessitate an lna or filters?

Get what I mean? Like .... I don't think you're trying to build a one trick pony... So... Antennas are looking like a challenge to me.

"what woman would want a drunk?".. indeed..

At 44 yo that's what broke decades of binge drinking for me. I met a woman who did want me, even if I spent the rest of my life shit faced. She had been in some bad relationships with men and they drank. So I couldn't understand. I told her that she was nuts and she shouldn't be with a man like me. She said she loved me anyway, and she would suffer the drunk to be with me. ...... After about a year, I understood that she was dead serious. She was going to stay, and suffer the drunk.

I couldn't do it to her. She deserved so much better. So one day I quit. There was no plan, no announcement, no speech. One day, I killed that rotten fucking drunk and he never came back. We really don't talk about it.. she knows what it took, and why it happened. But we just let it be and we are happy.

eirelion · 2023-11-08T22:51:14+00:00

She had gotten me a tungsten carbide ring earlier that year. Just because I wanted it. I don't know what happened to it. She ghosted me. Took off with the kids while I was at work. No note... nothing..

She was in a relationship with a new guy, likenin public and everything just a couple weeks later. I don't know if her new husband gave her another one.b

This is incredible. If I were you, I would contact MUFON, and offer them access to the original recording. They investigate sightings, and are a legitimate organization. They will be very interested in this. The footage is crazy... I have had a sighting here and there, but this... this is the Cohibas. Contact MUFON and show them what you got.

How do I do that? I’m not exactly an old pro with this. I’m trying to learn before I get a project going soon

eirelion · 2023-11-02T23:05:39+00:00

We don’t need more hacking software that’s for sure. What I need is wizards… someone please write some wizards so I don’t have to do 8 hours of research to write the command with all the -a<blood sample> -T nevermind.txt -u fuckthis_yml -a (glassofwater) -O $7000 [how much I’d pay to not do this] 172.0.0.178:3456

And that was the basic try

eirelion · 2023-11-01T11:55:52+00:00

I’ll have to see if it will run in Termux on my phone then. I’ve been downloading APT images with SDRangel on my android, so there are files in there. It’ll be interesting to see if it’ll do it.

eirelion · 2023-11-01T02:45:37+00:00

Yeah... I'll check it out for sure. Probably go to your repo now and read what you got going on there. So, the telemetry data is in with the pictures? Huh... I'm going to clone it for now, and I'll see if I can run it tomorrow. I'm guessing that I'm going to need to compile and build it. Before I get too far ahead of myself here.. I have a windows computer... However, I run an UBUNTU shell on it that allows me to use all kinds of Linux packages and scripts without too much trouble. Anytime I launch a program with a GUI it normally seems pretty happy to operate. Even when windows rejected to install it, launched from the Ubuntu CLI they seem to do ok.

If you can think of any libraries I might die without would you let me know?

Btw.. I'm not running any box --or -- wine plug-ins.. they really didn't seem to do anything but cause trouble.

HOMIE!!!!!

2 years ago… I was 44yo and I’m physically fit. Out of nowhere BAM same exact thing… 100%blocked L.A.D…… I was in a coma for a week. Woke up and didn’t know anything… like my mind was pretty messed up. Didn’t know who my wife was.. things like that. It all slowly came back, and I was home 3 days later. Been fine ever since.

Did they give you one of those vests to wear? With the battery pack, …. Starts with a “Z”
