That’s probably the single most impressive use of sixels I’ve ever seen

They’re ruining the only good part about being a meatbag…

Some days I just want to move out to [location] and get a little place with a roof filled with solar panels and a battery system, and just live out my days with a large garden and hunting. Do a little remote work for most of my income, but just save most of said income…

I recently checked out the German speaking side of a country that’s often portrayed as one of those locations. The people there made me want to get away from people… No wonder that country is the destination for moving to the middle of nowhere.

Can someone reply to the flipper one thread? It wont let me post 3 in a row

I hate working in wood. Which none of my friends get, cause I fix or make most anything. But. Not. Wood. For the same reason, you can’t work wood precisely.

That doesn’t narrow it down by much…

At least we have this cozy cyborg community where things are nice

That sounds annoying AF, glad I haven’t done much with wood.

I would tend to disagree vut I think that is entirely dependant on your definition of precisely. You can get precise less than a thousanth fit with wood if you know what you’re doing. Materials choice matters a lot too.

I would agree, especially seeing some of those Japanese woodworking masters

And then it rains outside, the wood swells from the increase in humidity, and… Fuck me. So you have to leave a working gap/tolerance. Then those tolerances stack up, and/or enviroment changes and you’re outta wack again.

Another example. You can’t tell what the density of Pine, or Oak, or Redwood is. Same for Strength, Compressability, etc. Every tree is genetically different, grows at different rates, plus soil conditions / sunlight exposure over lifecycle, and water. Each and every piece of wood is absolutely unique as a result. Water / Iron / Glass / Etc, all have very specific, exact, dependable, and predictable properties. Wood is a guestimate, average, or statistical probability at best.

I’m not knocking wood (knock on wood, get it? :grin:) there’s even spacecraft made of it. It just doesn’t work for me.

I come here when I’m stressed. It is a nice community to release said stress.

Hey, people that have dove deeper than me into the whole dark magic (nfc techical details) thing than me:

If I had a blank check to secure my home with either iClass SEOS or DesFire EV3, what should I choose and why?

Pretend my hypothetical implant is a custom order anyways, no off the shelf flexDFx for me.

Edit: Just phishing for a general opinion, not every gory detail.

Hmmm, good question.
Pros and Cons

I think iClass has some great smarts built into it , but you are locked into the HID ecosystem.
If you want to change later, you’ll likely have to replace all your readers and get another implant.

Personally I think DESFire is your better option with great security but more flexibility.

If I had a blank check, an Apex and developing locks that could use something like FIDO, the standard that Tesla uses, or even a dedicated new app for the implant would not be out of the question.

I see.

The readers that we are looking into at work can do just about anything, MFC, MFU, DF-Ev1/2/3, HID Prox, you name it, it can probably do it if it was designed for access control.

Our system can handle a mix too, but I wanted new cards. SEOS is cheaper by like $1 per card and that was their suggestion, but I got a quote for both options. I am not familiar with SEOS.

Worst case, we can mix cards, and I doubt I’d be told no to enrolling a custom DF3 implant onto the system. I say custom because the manufacturer informed us that ā€œthe hf cards have to be almost contacting the reader, where the old lf cards could be read from about an inch awayā€. So probably not a good idea to try an xDF3.

Hmm.. I’ll wait until we have them installed and working before doing anything. It might be worth seeing if one of the readers can read the card programmed to the HF side of my xMagic (gen1). It should log the event of an unrecognised card. Maybe it is possible to disable the LF side entirely, preventing a conflict there. If it doesn’t work, I might wait for a fairy to place hammy stickers on all of the readers I use…

Chances are that they are using the UID for most cards. Maybe the fobs from the manufacturer of the access control system will have some security, and perhaps a few others might be supported with proper encryption. But I wouldn’t expect them to implement proper encryption for every chip that can do it.
