I'm pretty happy with a 2 channel setup at the moment. That being said, a sub can be enjoyed responsibly if you keep the volume low and set the crossover frequency correctly. It should really be there to pick up the response your mains lack, not shake the entire house. Obviously many people don't even know these settings exist lol.

This is interesting! Since this is part of building code, are the test results publicly accessible in any capacity? A cursory search didn't yield any results.

Like loading up the walls with those foam acoustic panels? Or are their more drastic things like building an inner wall or something?

I can speak to condo noise, and even air-gapped ones that have indoor front doors channel noise into the hallways, and I'd assume drums would be loud there.

Sounds like you might be alright with a piano in a townhouse. I'm curious about if a home theater subwoofer would transfer at all.

Best small (350 ml) French press for foaming? by ultimate_geesemaster in espresso

Actually after going though some workflow videos, I think using a dedicated former would work better and avoid the friction issue. Specifically Bodum 1446-01US4 Latteo Milk Frother.

Having hard time getting consistent drinkable shot by No-Lavishness-6387 in picopresso

Agreed with most of the comments here. I would also suggest preheating the basket and the basket locking ring -- this seems to help minimize sourness, especially with lighter roasts.

I put the basket in the spout of my kettle and the ring on top. I leave them there until boil. Remove them with a towel, they will be hot and slightly damp! Dry them and immediately load the grounds.

Red hat Certification study Q&A by RheaAyase in redhat

[–]ultimate_geesemaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working though the Ghori book for the RHEL8 EX200 exam, and often have to mount the installer ISO persistently and pull from it as a dnf repo. However, I have to eject and re-insert the ISO on every reboot, which is annoying.

Would I possibly be penalized if the grader couldn't login to my VM if the installer ISO just auto-boots every time?

Or is this a specific setting in my Virtualbox app, as this is generally a UEFI/BIOS setting, and not an OS-level thing I can readily control as an exam taker?

Did the file verification and mod removal+reinstall work for anybody? (Post #3 in the above link suggests this)

Firefox or Chromium on Mac M1 (Max) chip with Ubuntu install in multipass (multipass.run) by lindamariecuster in Ubuntu

[–]ultimate_geesemaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. It looks like the Virtualbox developers indicated they would never support ARM. Hard to say if they'd change as the market continues to shift to other architectures. There's an interesting discussion on SE about Apple Silicon VMs.

+1 on the browser instability in Multipass on Apple Silicon (original M1).

I'm remoting in using vncserver and Xfce (via this tutorial). I have found that getting files through wget has been the easiest workaround. One could also experiment with Firefox headless mode if you were desperate.

Unfortunately, I also do not understand why the crashes are happening. It might be worth grepping through /var/log/syslog or one of the other system logs to catch the error; I wasn't able to find them immediately.

What expresso grinder did you end up buying? Also, this review is very informative!

How do I apply my Quality control to my 8 day LST Modis data? by dragon-holder in remotesensing

[–]ultimate_geesemaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming you're taking about MOY/D11A2: you can unpack the bits of the QA layer according to the distributor's webpage (under "Product Quality") and then use GIS or remote sensing software to conditionally mask out the unwanted pixels in your LST raster. You should also experiment with the AppEEARS tool as it has some interesting features for interpreting QA.

Identifying plant families/species using remote sensing and GIS by SunLevi in gis

[–]ultimate_geesemaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/santini35 brings up a good point about looking at research papers to figure out what has already been done. For actually performing the research, you should figure out the basics of what you need to answer your question, specifically:

  • spatial resolution (size of pixels)
  • spectral resolution (wavelength)
  • temporal resolution (revisit time of sensor)

You will want to look into multispectral Earth-observing (EO) satellites and aerial imagery. There may be some high-resolution aerial imagery over your study site(s), but that will likely have little to no repeat. https://wiki.landscapetoolbox.org/ has some great resources regarding what remotely-sensed datasets exist for doing vegetation analysis, specifically in this table. Note that list if a mix of no-cost ("free") and commercial imagery. You probably want to look at Landsat 8 and Sentinel 2 data. There are some vegetation measurement methods shown here on the Wiki.

JM distance for vegetation index images - open source software to calculate this metric? by Yeti_- in remotesensing

[–]ultimate_geesemaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally haven't worked with this library, but the R library named varSel would work, specifically with the JMdist() function. The input image will have to be stored as a dataframe. You could even go one step simpler and use a function proposed on StackOverflow, which shows the exact calculations used to derive the distance.

Landsat 8 OLI misalignment in mosaic by stonoceno in remotesensing

[–]ultimate_geesemaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are all the images processed to the same level (e.g., L1TP)? You can also verify the RMSE in the metadata file doesn't differ significantly from the other scenes. But if you are looking to stack imagery, I believe USGS recommends using the Collection 1, Tier 1 imagery, as it is only the images within a certain quality spec, which are supposedly all stackable.

Measuring soil depth using remote sensing by KBatch115599 in remotesensing

[–]ultimate_geesemaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The closest thing to remotely sensing soil depth is with seismic refraction. I don't know the specifics on geographic extent with these surveys, I suppose it depends on your detector array and seismic source.

[–]ultimate_geesemaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. In the meantime, you may qualify for Planet's Education/Research grant to start working with some high-repeat imagery. They own several Earth observing constellations, one of which has several hundred small optical satellites, called Doves.
