It's the LTS5 from Dragino, a LoRa touchscreen: https://docs.dragino.com/docs/LoRaWAN-End-Node/lora-modules-... . And for the record, I'm extremely happy with all their other products, which are all open-

I lost a good two hours the other day on an insufficiently documented device, looking for a way to flash a new firmware onto it. dmesg was absolutely silent about it when I plugged in or out my C-C USB cable although the device switched on

To predict anything on the ground, you have to predict air temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction etc. for the entire troposphere. The output of the models in altitude are as relevant to the meteorologists as the output on the grou

A few years ago, a dispute between Kosovo and Serbia caused the entire European grid to drift away from 50.000Hz down to 49.996Hz. Millions of microwave clocks across the continent ended up 6 minutes late: https://hackaday.com&#x

I was about to comment that exactly. If you computer is never switched off, your encryption is permanently bypassed.

That's a blast from the past. I remember repairing my main install from a minimal Knoppix on my 1GB USB drive... Good old times.

Lightning is electricity that goes through hundreds of meters or even kilometers of air (supposedly a good electrical insulator) to reach the ground, it's not above travelling through electrical lines the opposite way they're inte

Assuming they are independent events, OP is not more nor less likely to win the lottery now that before running in the collision. I actually have more question if you claim the events in question are NOT independent!

That's orthogonal to the discussion, I think, you can also mount and access remote filesystems from any program as if it was a local filesystem.

More of a sidenote than an answer but a database system can be faster than using the disk directly: https://sqlite.org/fasterthanfs.html#approx . It turns out having a defined abstraction like a database makes things faster

Yeah that's also how I work: be strict to yourself, indulgent to other, I feel this is the best strategy to get along. Obviously, the downside is the tragedy of the commons: the few bad people abusing the leniency of the rest and getti

I'm also neither. But I'm also very good at lying to myself, so who knows? (not me)

It reminds me of this answer I made some years ago: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/138046 The question was how to remember it's "2>&1" and not "2&>1". If you think of "&amp

I learned about it the hard way, ahah. Now I create intermediary planes for all distances and I extrude planes always with respect to those.

I have my best ideas and illuminations for the day when I brush my teeth in the morning. Somehow, that's when I can think best.

How does enclosing the lamp in reflective material help with the energy efficiency? Isn't the infrared radiation emitted anyway? Doesn't that make the lamp overheat?

Yes it's so strange, like bad and unreadable pseudocode. I could see myself coding in Latin though: https://github.com/pianoman911/ferrugo . Something about the prepositions tickles my brain the right way.

I guess one charitable way to look at it is that after a crash, external people could get access to the car and its memory, which could potentially expose private data about the owner/driver. And besides private data, if data about the

I know that's not your point and I'm not saying this to cherry-pick your argument but in case that's particularly relevant to you, Debian Trixie ships with Kicad 9 : https://packages.debian.org/trixie/kic

Well... it just works, so it's fine. I remember a time when I was a student where I would change distribution every six months: Fedora, Debian, Archlinux, Gentoo, FreeBSD, etc. but I finally landed on Debian and stayed there as I grew

The Tuvalu Islands are disappearing under water to the point that the population has to plan their emigration, that's one catastrophe.

Between USA and western Europe? Is there a difference?

The main difference, and it matters a lot, is that all the surfaces are flat.

I like them when they're used as bullet points in lists for instance. Just like we've always used small icons of phones and envelopes in contact information boxes/business cards to identify the fields at a glance.

It's usually configured correctly at some point in time and then the configuration "rots": it becomes inconsistent, some emails are forwarded, other are lost, nobody cares, etc. In my case, I configured Postfix to redirect al

Nice one but "'cos" does not go by the rule, I feel. You can use "for" at the same spot but, well, it has a tone you did not go for in your text.

> Are they doing something different, or is it just that their customers have to choose them repeatedly? I guess it's market-related. Your remarks remind me of Behringer. They make products for the music and audio enthusiasts. They

Well, to be fair... I (a human) had to look it up online the first time I played as well. I was repeatedly clicking on the same tree for an entire minute before that. I even tried several different trees just in case.
