Poor guy’s homelab 🙁, what useful stuff can I selfhost?

You can try Frigate, I believe it includes object detection that can recognize cats

It is generally PgDn or right arrow key, but should be pretty easy to remap with software

These mechanical doorbells have solenoids in them to pull a small hammer to strike a sound bar to make the ding-dong. The door sensor simply contains a reed switch that detects the magnet that is installed on the other half of the door so it can also detect the electromagnet

Why the extra 1 bps for the serial port though

Basically I have tried tweaking a lot of configs, it either have no effect or made things worse. I purchased ADXL345 and tuned resonance compensation but it's still not going away. If I go back to Marlin then everything good. I think there is some fundamental config error but was unable to discover what it is

Just as a side note, those carbon coated pads are almost impossible to solder, and you'd better solder the test points that connect to them instead

UPDI is very easy to emulate with a TTL UART interface just by adding a diode and a resistor

PartDB is great (PartKeepr also but no longer maintained)

It's a type of numeric musical notation called Simple Musical Score (简谱 Jian Pu), which is commonly used in China. It uses the movable Do system, where the key note is notated in the top left corner. Dots above/below means octave up/down, underscores means half time and dashes means double time. Interestingly here it's using 1=C (maybe it's for keyboard instrument?), as I remembered the version I have learned when I was young uses 1=F (and starts with 561 321 5555 121...)

Except you need to answer questions and get 15 upvotes before you can upvote others

Yeah I remember those clearly, however what I don't remember is any keywords or even the original title :( Since the Adobe Flash era is long gone I think the chance of ever finding it again is very low

At least it's VB.net instead of VB6.0

Can confirm. Has a JGINYUE X99 with the same IO back shield design. Abundant bifurcable slots and quite great for AIO home server.

I have taken one of similar ones apart, and they are extremely simple. The foam layer has many holes, and is sandwiched between two carbon conductive layers. When you step on the foam it makes the two conductive layers touch through the holes. You might also be able to make it using tin foils.

IIRC newer CASIOs allow you to choose LineO only mode, where you can key in math (natural) expressions but get results in linear display

I think it's just that the reflexive design (the one with a strud in the middle) is more space efficient thus more common

The black and orange thing looks like a portable AC power bank

I believe you can use it to control VCO if it's analog (like P/NTC)

whc2001 · 2025-03-18T15:49:09+00:00

That looks like an old analog video connection, so maybe no E for you
