What are your plans with the NExT?

@BroadcastingDutchman turns out worst case scenario for a glitter bomb was that I open it expecting something else and get a load of glitter shot into the back of my throat and the rest goes in my toaster. Good thing we’re already exposed to so much microplastics anyway, what’s a bit more going to do.

yes, when it was all teh up into the wrist it was irritating and caused discomfort into the joint … this was my first implant, self instal, and it was in a wired position that didnt play well with manual activity. I have done a few more self instal in R0 and L0 without issue after learning from this one :grin:

Already picked up a :blinky_white:
The HF side is my login to my PC and ive been wanting to explore NFC storage.

Not sure, right now its in a tube on my desk as it unlock my PC until i have the xSSID installed :sweat_smile:
Maybe a cool display or something i can carry to show/demo what it looks like? open to ideas …

Maybe you could make it into a keychain similar to or using one of the xFD keychains?

There are some nice desk display options too.

Does it let you order water? \_/

When they made the kiosks I didn’t mind. Nice being able to take my time browsing the menus and not have to interact with a human. But after I order I still have to go up to the counter and wait in line for the staff so I can have water with my meal, so it accomplishes absolutely nothing whatsoever.

Or, they let the customer wait 30 minutes every visit for someone to show up to the front counter, until I start bringing a desk bell with me, which they still ignore, so I decide to do them a favour, save them the work that they clearly don’t want to be bothered with, and just reach around the counter and get the cup myself. For this, they threatened to call the cops on me.

ĀÆ\_(āŒ£ĢÆĢ€āŒ£Ģ)_/ĀÆ

Fortunately that gave me the opportunity to explain to their manager the futility of the system, so they restaffed the counter. Still pointless having to order twice; food at the kiosk, water at the counter.

(But at least they don’t charge paying customers just for the basic hospitality of a cup of water. Because they have to cover the ā€œprice of the cup.ā€ Even when I bring my own cup. Screw my local McDonalds and any other company that does that.)

Yeah, my current setup isn’t much. When I wanted to synch my files with mobile, I used Dropbox. Easier for storing real filetypes than google docs was. But then they updated to a version that was a bother to manage from the command line and I was too lazy to ever get around to setting it up, so I just back up my repo to a 4TB SSD once a month. I was running a VPS for a while when I wanted to be able to synch and back up more regularly, but most of my work stays on my wearable PC anyway to save myself the headache of doing anything on a smartphone. My git repo is pretty small though, mainly just text. Media files go in a separate directory. Not as convenient for sharing files.


who put electric bolts at the end of magnets?!
I guess they’re only 90° wrong… :laughing:

You might consider looking into Syncthing its a FOSS P2P file sync utility for going between machines. it works on just about everything too.

It is a good tool.

I use this between my phone, tablet and laptop to sync KeePass

The current is in phase with the magnetic field, but the voltage is the derivative of the current.

So it’s off by 90° half of the time.

:emoji_thinking:

Still, those are permanent magnets, not inductors. So why!? Who put that there!?

Aaaaaaaaa, good thing I saw this in the morning, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to sleep… At least I have the whole day to calm down.

45° then. But the magnets are at a 45° angle so it’s back to 90°. But since there are two bolts it’s more like 180° which is very descriptive of the shape of the magnet so it must be true.

Maybe you should conduct yourself in a more grounded manner.

I’m experiencing weird crashes on a Zyxel switch, the only thing that changed was the addition of a DAC cable and I suspect that it’s because of some sort of compatibility issue with the SFP+ plug.

I’m going to look for a know compatible one even when this one works until the switch crashes.

I have a Mikrotik router on the other end, but this device is less fuzzy by the look of things.

Any other ideas or suggestions?

:robot_gundam:

Also, I couldn’t post this in the home lab thread, can someone please reply over there?

any pi expert here?

Im struggling to get an arducam to work (and display live feed on a PHP page)
libcamera doesn’t detect it (nor does mjpg-streamer) but i do see it in the devices …

any pointer would be greatly appreciated :grin:

Was it a DAC cable before? or something else like ethernet or fiber?
