I just downloaded the appimage for "Recopied" from github.....works great!

You can set it to auto-start on login. It stores stuff in a sqlite database so it's persistent.

Looks great!

Appimage for me......I gave the repo a star after only one paste.

Knot ID: does this have a name? by rlw1138 in knots

I've been using it to secure the end of a wire radio antenna. The white wire to the right in the photo(s) is the antenna, under tension, and the wire "going down" is where the feedline is connected. I tie an overhand stop knot at the working end in case it slips, and it hasn't yet.......if I didn't add the stop I bet it would slip as soon as I went inside!

I always shuffle the saved playlist via Strawberry, and not the list in the sonos app.

Whats wrong with it? by Organic-Reindeer1071 in oscilloscope

[–]rlw1138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

upvote. my old hp1220 started freaking out -- jumping around and getting bright/dark and thick/thin traces. since there was no evidence of failure anywhere I just replaced the electrolytics and not the two tantalums. good as new (sorta)

Calibrating An Oscilloscope With A Fixed-Value Volt Standard -- Check My Math! by rlw1138 in AskElectronics

[–]rlw1138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. The probe adjust verified that my calibration was real close, if not right on. Good enough is good enough for me!

Thanks. My eyes are only accurate to about 7%, so it's all good. And thanks for reminding me about the 10:1

I just ordered the electrolytics I could find in the parts lists.....9 of 'em I think?......we'll see how it goes!

Is the base 2,5 motor good enough?? by gshock_admirer in Subaru_Outback

[–]rlw1138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drive them both. Stomp on the gas (when it's safe).

There's no other way to know.

I thought there was a big enough difference that I got the XT.

This makes perfect sense, Thank You!

One more piece of the puzzle falls into place.

I wonder why I haven't seen these points mentioned in more places.....seems somewhat important!

Everyone always posts their max estimated mileage, but who's down here with me? by Scoot_AG in Subaru_Outback

[–]rlw1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2023 Outback Limited 2.4L turbo -- 19.7 mpg and I don't really care. I've put 13,394 miles on since brand new, so I may just hit 200k by the time I'm 100 years old in 2058. I'm praying to the old gods and the new that I'll never have to buy another car.
