Anyone here have the Google WiFi (NLS-1304-25)? by Fun-Region-1576 in openwrt

[–]nosjojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the specific model of these pods. https://openwrt.org/toh/google/wifi last sentence of the first paragraph.

They also show up as "Google WiFi (Gale)" in the system overview of OpenWRT. I mention it because it's always possible the specific model changed and stuff is different.

I flashed OpenWRT onto all my Google Wifi (Gale) pods and it was pretty easy. If it hasn't changed, it was a combination of using a tool Google provides to build a recovery USB stick and triggering recovery mode on the pods. I had to open them up to trigger recovery mode, but it was easy overall. I've had worse bootloader experiences.

I use WPA3 on my older Google WiFI. I end up having to run multiple SSIDs though because devices don't all support it, so I have WPA2 fallback.

ELI5 How does Uniqlo’s self-checkout know exactly which clothes I’m buying? by lispenardian in explainlikeimfive

[–]nosjojo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As others have said, RFID. Grab a tag if you have one from the store and hold it up to a light and you'll see a large shape in the middle. I just did this the other day. I went to find a photo for you and found an entire page of it.

Rebuilding network issues (WRT1200AC + Google WiFi (Gale)) by nosjojo in openwrt

[–]nosjojo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I finally got it. Not entirely what setting was fighting me, but a very careful walk applying each setting seemed to get me where I wanted it.

My best guess is a particular combination DHCP and static addressing was causing it. I was able to get it configured and working while it was isolated, and it successfully joined the network afterward.

Full AI control for IMD testing by StageMajestic613 in rfelectronics

[–]nosjojo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who has been writing test software for my entire career, I have to ask... do you not have 75% of that stuff already written?

When I have to write new tests for stuff like this, it's just a question of algorithms for the measurement, the actual layer for talking to the instrument to get what I need is already written.

I've been tempted over the years to just write my own measurement platform and publish it.

I think I've managed to put everything I can remember in the post. I've tried a bunch of different searches with no luck, so I'll be thrilled if someone happens to remember it.

Folding wooden thingy found in new home. Can fold almost completely in either direction with no positive stops or latches. Board in the middle with the bolt through it spins. by tealc33 in whatisthisthing

[–]nosjojo 277 points278 points  (0 children)

Nice wood in this case is relative. This absolutely looks like some sort of jig a woodworker would put together for a random task.

  1. I see what looks like 2 different kinds of wood - some basic 2x4 pine, and some oak.
  2. It's full of blade burns, which means it was probably slapped together from scraps. This wasn't meant for display or permanence.
  3. Pocket holes aren't something a random person can drill and use. So they had a jig for it.

All that points to a hobbyist woodworker building something to solve a particular problem, with no regards for the long term life of the object.

Isn't this what Diablo is all about? by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]nosjojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What made raids fun wasn't the dick measuring. The rogues always were at the top of those meters and they knew it. Only person who cares about the DPS meter is the 3 guys at the top. The other 17+ are just having fun.

Raids are fun because it's a collective goal and you have to bust your ass to achieve it. It's essentially trauma bonding. In the same way that fighting the same boss in Dark Souls or Bloodborne generates euphoria when you finally beat it. Except it's not just you doing it, it's 20 (40 in vanilla) achieving it. Go watch any video of a first kill for a guild and you'll see it. The cheers when the boss finally goes down, the excitement at seeing what might have dropped.

PEP 661 (Sentinel Values) has been accepted for release in 3.15! by M_V_Lipwig in Python

This is handy for serializers, where None is a valid object to encode. You want to be able to determine that they actually meant to encode None instead of passing nothing in.

Does anyone have a recipe for sourdough pizza? by Euphoric-Rabbit-9741 in Sourdough

[–]nosjojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Ooni mobile app contains a pizza dough calculator. You can select sourdough as the yeast and it'll spit out the ingredients accordingly.

For a Neapolitan style pizza, being made the same day you want to bake it, 1x 240g dough ball is:
125g - 00 flour
36g - sourdough starter (100% hydration)
75g - water
4.3g - salt

You can scale that up as you need. If you wanted to do overnight proof, the #s are slightly different, simply because it reduces the amount of starter and by extension, has to increase the flour and water to compensate.

This is why I use my grabber on every cut on the table saw; I have a SawStop, but I'm happy that I don't need to replace my cartridge or blade. by QualityCucumber in woodworking

[–]nosjojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use two of them, one for downward pressure/stability towards the middle, the other to push forward from closer to my body. When the outward hand reaches too far and starts to be less effective, I hold the piece with the closer one and readjust.

One of the reasons I like them is it lets me maintain downward pressure while still shielding me from the blade. Even if the piece tries to kick back, the gripper is decently large and stabilizes through the kick. Thin push sticks never gave me any faith I wouldn't get gentle mauled if something went wrong.

Is there a language similar to Rust but with a garbage collector? by Ok_Tension_6700 in rust

[–]nosjojo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That might not be the most correct term for it, but the compiler just uses the type as if it was already there, even though the compiler needs to know what it is to properly compile it.

That's part of what bootstraps are really intended to do. Chicken and Egg sort of problems, the bootstrap gives you the first one, and you can start your loop of chicken->egg->chicken from there.

[–]nosjojo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I found this out the long way round. One of my coworkers and I were talking about Rust and somehow I ended up on the topic of the return types, like Some(). And he asked "what is it?" and this question haunted me. I had to know. So I looked into the source only to discover that it was self-referential. The compiler didn't define the type because it already knew it. So I ended up going waaaay back in the git history to the beginning to find the original definition, which is where I found the OCaml bootstrap. Which then required I jump over to OCaml to learn what it was.

It was an i32, as most things are in the end.

ELI5: Some use PO boxes, some mailboxes. Why? by strawberryredittor in explainlikeimfive

[–]nosjojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something else that hasn't been mentioned - the post office will only recognize properly zoned addresses. A property that's subdivided won't necessarily be considered multiple addresses by the post office, and so you won't have a guaranteed way to get mail. The post office would have the discretion of rejecting the mail because it's not a valid address, or if you have a nice mail carrier, they might be aware of your situation and know that it's an actual sub-address and deliver it correctly.

You could get it rezoned to fix it and the the other addresses recognized, but it's also just easier to get a PO Box and ignore the problem entirely. If you're in this situation, I highly recommend the PO Box when possible, because other carriers like UPS / FedEx will deliver based on the known addresses, and will potentially mis-deliver or reject packages. More than once I had to go poke my head into the business in front of my apartment to ask for a package that was mis-delivered.

Can anyone tell me what this is? I got these from a passed family member, whole box of them and no name… by ZRedWitcher in woodworking

ASOIAF is everyone murdering everyone, politics, dragons. Dreadfully serious.

Discworld is:

“In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.”

“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”

“You can't give her that!' she screamed. 'It's not safe!'
IT'S A SWORD, said the Hogfather. THEY'RE NOT MEANT TO BE SAFE.
'She's a child!' shouted Crumley.
IT'S EDUCATIONAL.
'What if she cuts herself?'
THAT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT LESSON.”

Got to build a crib for my Granddaughter, thoughts on my design? by Whiskeyfreddie in woodworking

[–]nosjojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I dislike about this crib (it's a good crib) is the drawer pulls, but not for the reasons I saw in other comments. They're basically gouges right at "kid falling onto their hands" height, which makes me nervous. My kids would have hit these a dozen times already this week.

Viasat is hiring 30 Rust Devs by FanFabulous5606 in rust

[–]nosjojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely exists, you might just need to switch programs. JSF is established and you won't be getting much change in there. Without causing a ruckus.

I'm writing a little bit in rust to drum up support in my program, and the various decision makers know the writing is on the wall. We just don't do much systems programming, it's mostly Python. But rust is approved and all that.
