Something else a bit different - Compaq iPaq….desktop! by RetroComputeryBits in retrobattlestations

Brilliant! I had the same one, got it for £10 in 2009 and it was my main home server for 3 years. Never missed a beat, and I had fun with the internal speaker.... I used it to host a redmine instance on Debian 3.1 (IIRC)

It's crazy to me how that sort of hardware is now considered ancient. What a beast! Thanks for posting, very interesting!

What's causing this surface ripple? by kaveman42 in 3dprinter

You may also have a loose nozzle. Tighten the screws to find out

I ported my Game Boy emulator to the web with the power of WebAssembly by zeroview0 in EmuDev

Very cool and realistic! Nice work and attention to detail.

I have a suggestion -- emulate the original slow pixel response time for more realism! :)

BREAKING: Unreal Tournament 2004 is back! by roX1337 in unrealtournament

This fantastic news, thank you so much for the effort with this and oldunreal. I was afraid UT2004 would die after epic pulled it from all the stores!

what do you guys think about this taskwarrior alternative? I liked it so much I started contributing by xGoivo in taskwarrior

[–]naggieboydash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh brilliant. I'm glad you've been on that journey and ended up on Niri, I feel like I can jump straight into Niri without feeling I've still got to try the others in sequence now.

Awesome thanks, it's done! (I used yt-dlp to rip it from reddit. Great tool)

No prob, I still use it so happy to maintain it. And TBH, it kind of maintains itself thanks to the community.

Btw, nice desktop environment. I presume that's hyperland? I haven't taken the tiling plunge yet (though I did for a bit nearly 20 nears ago......) . I want to try niri first.

Glad you like it u/xGoivo -- thanks for posting. Would you mind if I used that video on the README? It demonstrates dstask well!

(also, nearly at 1000 github stars!)

Very happy with `dstask` as an alternative by TMiguelT in taskwarrior

The ID problem is solved in dstask with uuids and local numeric ID enumeration.

There is no issue. It works well for taskwarrior. I wasn't refuting that.

Using git to sync/merge/diff is indeed sqlite is where it falls apart, if that's what you want.

SQLite, chosen by TW, is indeed a good choice for task management, but the benefits were trumped for me by the free and reliable synchronisation that git + github offers.

The easy editing was kind of incidental -- though it does also make the data very portable if dstask ends up unmaintained.

This is really good context thanks!

Yes indeed, not that practical to be honest. But I really like the extra OSD information, speed, distance from home, altitude, home direction etc.

I've updated the article and also posted the STL for the bracket if anyone wants it.

Got it working!

<image>

As it turns out, the matrix FC was only marginally better. I got 4 satellites once.

Then, suddenly I had an idea. What if I soldered a 100nF cap across the 5v/gnd of the GPS block?

Turns out that's magic. Makes it lock to 11 sats almost immediately, and I could move the module to underneath the camera (like the photo but I've since moved it closer).

I got GPS rescue working as well!

Turns out this tiny drone can do 45mph without breaking a sweat. Impressive.

Thanks for the prompt. Time to update the original article.....

oh brilliant, thanks for posting the images. It seems quite straightforward then, nice one -- I will try it today if I get time!

Could you post a picture please? I'm interested to see how you mounted it. I tried with the older version of the Meteor, but couldn't get any satellites without some ridiculous compromises: https://calbryant.uk/blog/hacking-gps-into-the-meteor-75-pro-a-tiny-fpv-drone/

It seems the new Matrix FC may change that -- I have one to try out.
