#tinkering — Public Fediverse posts

Oh, joy! Another "groundbreaking" initiative to share data on fixing your vacuum cleaner 😂. The Open Repair Alliance seems to think the world desperately needed a standard for #tinkering with small electronics, because apparently, sharing repair tips is the future of humanity's progress 🚀🔧.

Csináltam egy merészet.

Van egy Lenovo Yoga 11e tablet PC-m. De, Linux alatt egyszerűen sosem működött a tablet funkció.

Hat éve van nálam, de együtt tudtam ezzel élni, mert igazából nekem egy valóban kis laptop kellett utazásokhoz, ha ügyet kellett oldanom alapon.

Sosem használtam ki tabletként. Még Windows alatt sem. (Igaz, Windowst csak és kizárólag az ősöreg, de LifeTime Garmin Nuvi GPS-em frissítéséhez használok egyedül, mert nincs kedvem kerülő utat keresni rá.)

De, úgy voltam vele, hogy ha már van mindenféle CLI-s AI agent, akkor teszek egy próbát azzal is.

Oda adtam a Claude AI CLI agentjének sudo joggal együtt, hogy... oldja meg, ha tudja.

Dolgozik bőszen. És, igazából nem csak azért nem félek, hogy elront valamit, mert nincs semmi szenzitív azon a gépen és pikk-pakk újra telepítem és kész.
De, azért sem, mert egyszerűen egy netes keresést nem tud megcsinálni anélkül, hogy minden oldalra külön rá ne kérdezne, hogy engem-e.

...és ugyanez minden lépésnél itt is. Egyszerűen nem tudok normálisan gépelni, mert a másik monitoron az ssh-ban folyamatosna nyomkodnom kell az entert a jóváhagyások miatt.

Kíváncsi leszek, mi lesz a vége!

📻 In today's thrilling episode of "Let's Make Sure the #FCC Hates Us," some genius figured out how to turn a Raspberry Pi #Pico into a laughably illegal AM radio transmitter. 🤦‍♂️ Because who wouldn't want to use their #tinkering skills to broadcast static and white noise over the airwaves? Genius, truly. 💡

I recently acquired a new Turris Omnia NG router from @turris to take advantage of my new 10 Gbit/s internet speed from my provider Init7. Now I was really curious about my actual speed ...

This led me to LibreSpeed (https://github.com/librespeed), an Open Source speed test tool which is working by default with PHP. Unfortunately the router isn't powerful to provide reasonable measurements because the chunk files to test the download speed are generated by PHP and openssl. This appeared to be a bottleneck.

So I was tinkering a little bit and created a NGINX backend for LibreSpeed which doesn't rely on PHP.

Now I have put together this in a GitHub comment: https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest/issues/375#issuecomment-3769211254

(I still rely on PHP to get the IP address and to store the measurements though, but this is lightweight enough for the router.)

Try it out yourself: https://speedtest.momou.ch

Bose, in a shocking display of #generosity, is letting their ancient smart speakers join the open-source world instead of turning them into paperweights. 🎉🤖 Because who wouldn't want to tinker with yesterday's tech in today's fast-paced market? 😂🔧

This is what happens, if you leave me alone with an #ESP32, a #WS2812 LED-Strip and some time.
I have not yet implemented it to display maintenance times. I believe #UptimeKuma will internally handle that as up and note the maintenance somewhere else, but I'm not fully sure.

Oh, man, I guess I got myself into some deep-deep-deep waters with this - absolutely insane amount of information to learn, but curiosity wins again and I love it 🤣.

P.S.: was really happy to find out that initially project website used to be Svod.od.ua - arguably the best programmer on the market originated in Odesa, Ukraine 🇺🇦.

I am thinking about building my own red light therapy panel for injury recovery. I need LEDs with wavelength 850nw near infrared.

Thought it'd be a cool DIY electronics project. Has anyone here done something similar and up for giving me some tips?

Oh cool, eine neue Version des Calliope Mini ist da: https://www.golem.de/news/calliope-mini-3-ein-grosses-update-fuer-den-kleinen-rechner-2402-182119.html

Das Ding ist für Kids zum spielen und spielerisch Lernen einfach super. Es hat schon jede Menge an Sensoren und Anschlüssen an Board und Kids können direkt loslegen. Der Preis von ca. 40 EUR ist da absolut gerechtfertigt. Noch dazu wird das Gerät in Deutschland entwickelt und hergestellt.

I'm Ulf, a very tall hobbit from #Denmark

Married, father of 3. My youngest is 16, so yeah, I'm kinda old.

Stuff I'm into:
#baking - mostly with #sourdough
#music - #folk #indie #psych #metal #stonerrock
#homebrewing #beer #countrywine #mead
#gardening
#books #comics #movies #series - mostly #fantasy and #scifi
#tinkering and #restoration and #building everything from vintage electronics to my old 200+ years house
I also play #dnd #dnd5e with my wife and kids. Yeah, #nerd family.

I used to be a #librarian but now I work in #publishing making #epub3 for a relatively large (by danish standards) publisher. I do stuff with #html5 #css3 #XML and some #python to make it all come together.

I was diagnosed with #ADHD (more specifically ADHD-PI, formerly known as #ADD) last year, which made a lot of my weird personal traits make more sense. Still chewing on that one for sure.
