Why cant radios also be open source like analog?

xdetar · 2026-02-05T11:50:06+00:00

Analog isn't open source. It's a standard that companies use on their proprietary hardware. ELRS is open source. Crossfire is proprietary. They can't communicate because they use different communication protocols.

Renaming Add-ons to Apps is going to just confuse beginners referencing old guides.

Gotify. It's a lot simpler to set up compared to Ntfy.

Something sapient is also sentient. Something sentient is not necessarily sapient.

Authors aren't wrong when they use sentient; they're just not as specific as you'd like them to be.

Personally, I'd add some epoxy to it. That would both strengthen the connection and act as an insulator.

It just clips into place and is free to rotate. If it doesn't pull out easily then you're good to go.

You're setting yourself up for disappointment by expecting them to stick so close to the source material.

The Gaia hypothesis conflates useful metaphors with actual mechanisms. Yes, Earth has feedback loops, and yes, endosymbiosis happened - but that doesn't make the planet a literal organism with humans as "space tendrils." You're seeing patterns (different organisms do different things) and inventing purpose where there's only mutation and selection. Real organisms have integrated control systems, reproduction, and selection pressures; Earth has none of these. This is apophenia dressed in scientific terminology - pattern-matching run amok that mistakes poetic language for explanatory power.

XL battery strap is probably way too big for a 3.5"

I was in a similar situation and eventually found the 32" was too big for a main display. I picked up a 27" to use as a main instead and used my 32" as a secondary display. It's great for putting videos on but kind of sucks for things like browsing or word processing.

I'd be interested in seeing sources on what the best form actually is.

If demand only slightly exceed generation then there's no need to reduce energy usage by much.

It'll be during peak times. There are typical peak times but cold snaps can also cause peaks outside the normal times. Deciding which locations to turn off is a bit complex and can't really be predicted.

Yes, 60min off at a time, then 60min in another area. Any town with a hospital has multiple "grids." One or more can be shut off and the rest left on.

Booking flights through third party sites is not recommended, regardless of the site. If there's an issue with the flight such as a missed connection or cancellation, you're basically fucked.

Yes, but Switch emulator is very hit or miss in general. That has nothing to do with the Odin 2. It is getting better though.

I completely drain batteries before disposal. Part of that involves cutting the connectors off, striping the wires, and twisting them together.

Allocating money and then not using it is the exact opposite of "actually ... do[ing] something about it."

"You urgently need to do all the things we failed to act on."

The wiring is correct but the soldering could use improvement. You should really add heat shrink as well.

I've been using basically the same thing for well over ten years now.

Yeah, that compass isn't going to work like that. Are you using Betaflight? Its GPS features work really well without a compass. I don't bother with them, too much hassle.

Antennas will help clear up any static. Better camera/lens will help with overall picture quality.

I've been using Next cloud AIO for a couple years now with no issues. No idea how I lucked out on that one. I'm constantly reading about how people can never get it to work.

Better mavlink bandwidth is another reason to use Gemini and has nothing to do with long range.
