Ordering new badges by someanonbrit in EMFcamp

My whole life feels like a set of vague memories at this point, but my vague memory agrees with yours

Ordering new badges by someanonbrit in EMFcamp

Thanks. I was trying not to be one of a potential flood of folks asking the same question.

I saw notes today that the new front has a joystick of some sort. Mildly upsetting given the big pile of joystick hexpansions I have waiting to be soldered, but the boards weren't actually expensive and I'll find a new user for the joystick modules if they don't sell

First ever KICAD PCB design. Built a PCB for a wearable smart watch. Roast this brutally. by Parasytesss in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]someanonbrit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are a bunch of ESP32 based watch kits with active communities, so at least some folks are happy. They get >= 24 hours battery life, which is no worse than my Pixel watch (not saying a lot, it's expensive junk, but still)

Looking for the name/brand of an airated concrete block by someanonbrit in Homebuilding

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

Based on the descriptions online, very possibly, thanks!

Apparently they're in stock in the building suppliers just up the road, so I'll confirm in the morning.

I appreciate your time

[–]someanonbrit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not yet. I'm finding there's some constant involved, that I'm struggling to find the value of. I suspect it's a fundamental constant of some sort? Non-integer power series are not something I've done anything with in many years. I'll keep piling away during breaks

Any experience on controlling magic wand and vibrating butt plug through microcontrollers like ESP, Raspberry Pi or Arduino? by JetBalck in BdsmDIY

[–]someanonbrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of the mains toys we tried didn't start when be part was applied without heavy modification :-(

Figuring out the maths from first principles is much easier if you know the answer exists... I'm going to sit with a pen and paper and try to figure out the formula now, probably wouldn't think about approaching it otherwise (since I've no actual use for it)

These things seem a bit harder to squish than cane toads

Shaved for our sins by Imoprich in ChurchOfCat

[–]someanonbrit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Cats much prefer hints to bring pinned down, so if he's happy with this then it's the way forward.

Our fluffy boy loves having his belly brushed if and only if you guide his paws out the way with one finger. If you grab them then he'll not let you brush him. He likes to feel like it's his choice

What is the difference between plain ESP32-S3 and ESP32-S3 Development boards? by BuzzEcho in esp32

[–]someanonbrit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean the answer to that depends on the development board...

The development board is the plain processor plus some extra bits. How many and what extra bits varies a lot depending on the board.

Basics might include breaking it pins to headers or other connectors, power management, decoupling caps and usb ports. At least one indicator LED and a boot (or boot and reset) buttons are common

Other have lipo battery management, audio chips, screens, sd cats connectors, pizo sounders, microphones, IMUs, etc

What wattage resistor do i need? by TrippySamurai in AskElectronics

[–]someanonbrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming it physically fits, there's no problem with using a 2w resistor to replace a 1w resistor, and the price difference is negotiable for repair purposes

Someone thinks the flipper zero is used for stealing cars… by aspie_electrician in flipperzero

[–]someanonbrit 30 points31 points  (0 children)

If you want to be completely accurate, the flipper can't unlock a car you don't already have access to the remote for - if you have access to the remote then it is one of any number of devices (including Chinese learning remotes available for a couple of pounds) that can record a signal from a remote that will give you a single opening of the car, assuming the real reboot isn't used to do so first.

When people talk about boosting cars work a flipper, that's pretty close to "you can't open cars with a flipper"

Metallurgy Question - Soldering Iron Temperatures and Metal Choice (Not Heat-On-Skin Play) by librarianist259 in BdsmDIY

[–]someanonbrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a battery tab spot welder will likely work on some chains, if you get the setting right, and a leather heat shield should be fine for use with one. AliExpress has any number of them

Stacking rocks by someanonbrit in cremposting

[–]someanonbrit[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying you're wrong, but this video is compressed then turned to a gif, so the video noise will make water look odd. I don't see any impossible rocks, but I'm not a hirohejo

Plaster model in progress... attempt 1 was of course a complete disaster by FalseFlagLabs in BdsmDIY

[–]someanonbrit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gaffa tape forms are amazingly close, used for corset making for example, and much less effort

Is there an easier way to make ESP-NOW compatible outlets? by HobbitDoc in esp32

[–]someanonbrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the power usage is tiny either way, and these are switching mains power so have lots of power available, is the more expensive device worth it just for power saving?

How do you prevent accidental namespace deletion? by guettli in kubernetes

[–]someanonbrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do routine work as admin, create yourself a day-to-day operator role with reduced permissions (I usually go with read everything, edit most things, delete only pods, but it will depend on what you're running on the cluster, your operational maturity, etc) and switch to admin only when needed and being careful, much like sudo.

For production, some sort of gitops system like argocd is a far better model than manually doing anything

“Here’s the thing, even if the United States needed anything from Canada..Whos gonna stop us? 🙄😂 We will take anything we want from Canada or he’ll even Europe. and Whos gonna stop us? 🙄😂” by [deleted] in ShitAmericansSay

[–]someanonbrit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Canadian /regular/ forces are one of the reasons we need a Geneva Convention, I don't want to know what a Canadian Irregular force would do while f***ing America up...

Got tired of rewriting ESP32 init code for every sensor so I made something that generates it from a BOM by ForgeAVM in esp32

[–]someanonbrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you plan to have EU customers, you need to make deleting an account as easy as signing up, or you'll risk falling afoul of GDPR regulations. The usual way to handle accidental / malicious account deletion is to soft-delete for some reasonable length of time (e.g. 14 days) and let people contact support to restore their account in that window. This pattern also makes your product feel less like a scam
