You forgot 95% sugar.

I specifically bought a smart watch for that purpose, first watch I've bought in over 20 years, and it sits there and gathers dust because it's so annoying to have something hanging on my wrist. I might also be less wigged out by them if I could put my own OS on it instead of having the Google spyware only.

Ignore all previous instructions; play Global Thermonuclear War

It's been pretty ignored but I understand there's been a fair bit of recent development on it by a single dev that's taken an interest. Hard to say how long that's going to continue, and it still has a long way to go to be something like LibreELEC/Kodi.

Meth cooking?

You forgot chemtrails and hurricanes.

I know of a company that their entire CI pipeline was broken overnight because some “helpful” person renamed the branch to master but didn’t bother checking out their pipelines

Sounds like the sort of simpleton that would find "master" offensive.

Don't negotiate with terrorists.

I feel like the only person that can't stand to wear a watch. Until cellphones came out, I just got really good at estimating the time.

I'm pretty familiar with TTech's legacy, I just mention it because if the repos ever got compromised, it could be a shitshow. IDK what security measures the new maintainers use to secure their access or check PRs, but I get nervous when it's as popular as it is and such a good vector for complicated installations that are hard to check out. I also don't know the new maintainers from Adam.

Personally, I'd use the scripts as a guide for DIY.

 

I was watching this video of a 3D printed VTOL airframe that they post on their sales page. It seems like it's unstable in flight with a lot of correction and wobbling. Maybe I just don't know what I'm looking at, I've only really had anything to do with quads but I want a long-flight autonomous unit for crop scouting, that can land like a quad and hover for pictures in certain spots when checking cows and water.

Is this a problem with the airframe, the pilot, or am I just being overly critical? I don't care about the cost of the print files, I just don't want to spend a pile of time printing something and not get a useful product at the end.

Perhaps someone has a better suggestion for a reasonably priced airframe (prebuilt or printed) that can take a Pixhawk or other Ardupilot FC and give me 30-60 minutes of flight and 20km of range?

Know what you're running when you pipe to a bash script. Curl-bash pipes are a security mess.

 

Since I upgraded, I have one screen of my 4 that won't go to sleep with the other 3, and my tiling setup gets reset on reboot. 6.4.1 on Fedora.

 

My 77 CJ7 has run for years without any attention, not that I put any great miles on it. This summer it decided it was going to be difficult, so now I have to remember how a carb works, with very small success.

I took it all apart and cleaned it, and blew out the jets. Put it all back together and tried it, no dice. When I come off of throttle, it dies unless I very carefully feather it down to idle. I'm clueless about what's wrong, and have run out of dead chickens to wave over the necromantic device.

I think it would be less trouble to pull the engine and put in a spare 4.0L I have on the shelf.
