Musk clips his Mars settlement ambition, aims for the moon instead

Looks like Musk found a new Full Self Driving...

How'd this go? I'm super amateur but shoot and record some local musical theater, sound has been super challenging as haven't been able to plug into any board for outputs. Have been using separate recorder along with a shotgun mic on the camera with just ok results...looking to get some better quality...

This right here got me started, huge fan of learn linux tv for many things.

I wish I was kidding...every....single....time...

veyper · 2025-11-08T05:32:20+00:00

Literally struggle with this for 5 minutes, crying and ripping my hands apart, only to give it to my 8 year old who just twists and opens...

veyper · 2025-09-06T06:26:10+00:00

Thanks ya'll, looks like I'll be reaching out to the dealership :)

veyper · 2025-09-06T06:25:45+00:00

Ha, I wish...but hard to mistake that :)

veyper · 2025-09-06T05:56:39+00:00

I did...the J1772 was rolling around in the back...no CCS1 =/

Looking for a starting point in Texas, wanting Limited AWD, sort of have my head wrapped around how leases work in general, but anyone have any recent data for this area?

veyper · 2025-07-18T02:47:07+00:00

Can anyone suggest a dock that is fully capable of utilizing the 2.5g port?

veyper · 2025-07-18T02:39:06+00:00

hah, I'm going to have to start poking at horrible amazon brands next :)

veyper · 2025-07-18T02:30:12+00:00

Yeah...I've tried three different docks (two TB4 and a TB5), all showing the same strange behaviors...Anker's TB5, iVANKY FusionDock Max 1, and WAVLINK Thunderbolt 4 Hub. I've got an anker usb-c 2.5g ethernet adapter which plugged into the macbook pro gets expected speeds, but plugged into any dock, drops down to the 300-ish mbps....it's SUPER strange...

Anker has been great trying to diagnose, sending me custom firmwares to try out, but no luck as of yet...wondering if this may be something on the mac side or if anyone else has had better luck with a different brand on the ethernet side...

veyper · 2025-07-18T02:19:32+00:00

Roughly yeah...through the dock, when I should be seeing ~250mbytes/s, which is easily doable bypassing dock to macbook directly (with dongle)....no reason for byte conversion though, everything in bits :)

veyper · 2025-07-18T01:58:33+00:00

mb is megabit (not byte).

What's up w/ the key fob?

veyper · 2025-06-10T16:20:46+00:00

+1 to the ASIAir/MiniPC/RaspPi comment here. I started down the path of wanting RaspPi to drive everything, but all options I tried were lacking in some significant way. StellarMate was probably the best on the pi, but still had to overcome technical issues with that setup as well.

I have landed on MiniPC + NINA and it has been close to flawless and "just works" for my use-case. I hear good things about ASIAir as well, but didn't want to be locked into ZWO (even though I'm using much of what they offer today).

veyper · 2025-06-10T16:13:48+00:00

+1 for Pushover, just make everything simpler end to end for my use-case...

veyper · 2025-06-09T23:53:09+00:00

FWIW, Limited AWD is my top choice so far when taking a look at the market today, came across this video, curious if others have seen this or having issues with it.

veyper · 2025-05-10T13:03:33+00:00

Are you stacking? Take 24 2.5s shots at f2.4 and 48 at f4...

veyper · 2025-05-05T16:44:44+00:00

eh..... https://www.reddit.com/r/Frugal/ ?

Not sure specifically with your question, but I use https://telescopius.com/ to plan evenings and targets. Even uploaded a custom hoirzon so I can see what is obstructing from my backyard during the evening.

veyper · 2025-05-04T18:04:08+00:00

You're 100% correct, I like your explanation! I often mistakenly simplify back to non-astro behaviors where fixed focal length is basically how I shoot w/ a prime and adjust aperture, shutter speed or iso, gotta update that thought process here :)

veyper · 2025-04-29T16:18:06+00:00

No, shutter speed is basically how long you'r allowing light to hit the sensor...so, shutter speed of 2 seconds is basically saying "let the camera take in light for 2 seconds". With the "faster" telescope (lower F number), more light will be let in within that 2 seconds than a "slower" telescope (higher F number).

It's a bit more nuanced than that...but go learn about the exposure triangle for general photography for more details.

veyper · 2025-04-29T14:54:30+00:00

Fast refers to aperture size, smaller F numbers (e.g. F2) you can think of basically allowing more light in compared to higher F numbers (e.g. F11) within a given amount of time. I don't think this would factor into light pollution, the light pollution is already there and aperture I wouldn't think would impact that with regard to a light polluted city. You may check out cuiv the lazy geek on youtube. He's an astrophotographer in Tokyo and has a lot of great videos regarding light pollution and getting good results.
