  • ESP-32 black magic

    For their size, they are surprisingly powerful and very versatile. The Nomad project you posted looks intriguing. I could see that being useful when we’re out on the pontoon because the CD player has long since died and there is zero I want to listen to on terra-radio. He even includes the NomadCase.stl file. Sweet! Bookmarked. Thanks for sharing.




  • LOL! Dude, I absolutely, positively, must put things back in their proper place, or I’d forget everything. For instance, I went out this morning to feed the Koi in the Koi pond. I have a plastic jug that I keep the pellets in, that is kept in a drawer in the living room. When I take the jug out, I must leave the drawer pulled open to alert my dumbass that something goes back in there when I come back in. Keys absolutely must be hung on the key rack each and every time after use. Spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch. Every day.



  • this advice goes for anyone not just using ai. people will be wrong too

    Truth. A lot of times I will even pose the same questions to multiple AI. It doesn’t guarantee that all three of them aren’t smoking crack, but you get a better 360 view. It’s akin to back when I worked for the man. I created an excel spreadsheet that helped us when estimating jobs. Say you had 50’ of 10"x20" duct, then a 90, a drop for a grill, necked down to 30’ of 12"x12" duct. At the bottom of the spreadsheet it would spit out numbers and prices. Now, that didn’t necessarily mean that the numbers and the prices were accurate in every way to this specific job. There are a lot of variables to consider. You have to understand the output and whether that is truly applicable to the situation at hand.










  • Other Navidrome/opensubsonic users, how do you guys use the 5 stars? for me it is

    People often ask me ‘What’s your favorite song?’ or ‘Who is your favorite guitarist?’ to which I reply ‘All of them.’ I’ve been playing, creating, and listening to music since the age of 5 when my uncle showed me 3 simple cords. It lit a fire in me that is burning to this day. I do have genre specific playlists, but a lot of times I just put the whole lot on random/no repeat and enjoy Opera one minute and Heavy Metal the next, with some Blues, Jazz, Soul, R&B, Funk, Hip Hop, Rap, Rock, thrown in the mix. I truly love music and my tastes are quite expansive and eclectic. There are some songs that do have deep meaning to me tho. However, if I were to utilize the 5 star system, they would all be 5 stars. LOL Recently, I managed to have a script pick a random song from a playlist, and display it in the Linux MOTD, to remind me of songs I may not have heard in a while, when I administer the server.
