  1. I had a strange problem where I got scammed and overpaid for my crappy old Wifi card when building my PC years ago.

    Up until recently, my solution was to use an old micromax A109 in USB tethering mode. About six months ago, it could not handle the overcharge and the battery ballooned up. I have been living with it since.

    I got sick of it today and installed OpenWRT on an Archer C5 v4(the #actfibernet one). I sent this to connect to my home Wi-Fi network as a client, switched the default IPv4 to 192.168.2.1 to not conflict with 192.168.1.1 and most importantly, enabled IPV4 masquerading in firewall settings.

    A quick restart and now it acts as a Wi-Fi to ethernet bridge thing!

    Disclaimer: while I took a screenshot with my Linux laptop for testing, this is going to be placed behind my Windows PC.

  6. Friend is on election duty in #WestBengal and he shared this. Captioned it as, "The engine I recall was a water pump". #Jugaad #Kolkata #India

  7. A desk and shoe rack made with free boxes from Costco and two $5 shelves from Home Depot. Detergent and dishwasher-tab containers providing the weights for the desk's "legs". #tbt

    Evidence I generally travel with my trusty MSFT Sculpt keyboard, and my 24" LED TV which was a monitor during day and served entertainment after hours. 😁

    This was a temporary living arrangement I had a few years ago for work and such.

  12. A very improvised dinner tonight with what was on hand. A bowl with:

    - Pearl barley
    - A mixture of acorn squash, sweet potato, beetroot, spring onion, and garlic with some cumin, chili flakes, and turmeric
    - Falafels made in an appam pan
    - A smidge of feta.

    We are tentatively calling it "Autumn Half-Moon Buddha Bowl" (vegan without the feta) 🤗

    We sat down and played a game of "Code Names: Duet." Besides the good vibes, one of the best parts of the game was the improvised game pieces.

  14. CW: Long thread/37

    India also has a complex and highly contested privacy regime, which is in extreme flux between high court decisions, regulatory interventions, and legislation, both passed and pending.

    Finally, there's India's long tradition of ingenious technological adaptations, locally called #jugaad, roughly equivalent to the English "#MendAndMakeDo."

  15. Tissue paper rolled on a chopstick, secured with masking tape, sprayed with lightly corrosive cleaning liquid makes a decent improvised tool to clean out a battery compartment where a cheap battery had leaked.

  16. Blogging, The Economist once said, is just another word for having conversations. Perhaps, about the limits of AI, the psychology of #hope among #Ukrainians, and how similar their improvisational genius seems to #jugaad, the word for winging it in #India open.substack.com/pub/rashmee/

  17. From what Washington Post opinion writer and Volodymr Zelensky’s former political advisor Iuliia Mendel says, it sounds as if #Ukrainians, like #Indians, were always forced to overcome enormous difficulties in order to live and work, perchance to succeed. For #India, that has meant necessarily embracing #jugaad, ie innovation in straitened circumstances or cobbling together a solution against all odds.For India, that has meant necessarily embracing jugaad, ie innovation in straitened circumstances or cobbling together a solution against all odds. So too Ukrainians. And Ms Mendel sees her fellow citizens utilising the same skills, tactics and muscle memory to deal with the brutal #war that is tearing apart families and lives. rashmee.com/2023/02/26/hope-a-

  18. I'm slowly making things more robust, but it's pretty #jugaad. Rubber bands and temporary cluster nodes made of a random laptop.

  19. #jugaad എന്ന മാനസികാവസ്ഥയിൽ നിന്നും എന്നു മാറുന്നുവോ അന്നേ നമ്മൾക്ക് ഉയർച്ചയുണ്ടാകൂ ...

  20. CW: Lameass Audio rig setup

    Since my mac crashed, I've found a #jugaad jamming set up which is hilarious. A midi keyboard playing the cakewalk synth plugin (TTS-I) loaded on Reaper Slave mode going to an audio channel on Ableton live where the beats are made using a launchpad mini. Saving grace is separate analog guitar setup w/amp :welp:

    Output is not through any studio monitoring equipment but a lofi stereo external laptop speaker.

  21. To make temporary solutions again and against over a period of time is to ignore the need for permanent solutions.

    To ignore the need for permanent solutions is to assume you will always have time to rely on temporary solutions.

    Finding and implementing the right solution is a time taking process and often done in silence, unlike #jugaad.
