I look endlessly for parts on alibaba, rn for solar batteries. And I have tried to ship for parts like cooling fans but then I am bitten by shipping at the end....

Now I find myself having to inquire about each part because the prices listed aren't accurate.

How to get what I need?

Cat climbed up on the counter and tried to mess em up.

I want to start an indoor and outdoor garden. Planting season is coming up.

I'm also having decent success germinating some rice.

I'm somewhat regretting my choice to buy pinto and black bean 'seeds'.

Also I've been making trips up into the hills to dig up naturally occurring clay and that sort of thing and carry it down in my big backpack.

Maybe I can try and make some dirt out of that.... I already went to home depot to get some garden fertilizer, but I prob need to get some high nitrogen stuff in bulk.

from my twitter:

I started mocking up my DIY workstation enclosure case. I will make it with cheap aluminum extrusions from aliexpress and some plywood sheets, maybe acrylic if I can find that cheap.

expect it to def change once I'm done designing, it's late

this is in openscad

red = 450mm extrusion

white = 500mm extrusion

brown 'sienna' = 150mm extrusion

green = a 3.5" hard drive

purple = ATX power supply

black = my motherboard

beige = plywood sheet

blue = large radiator

light blue = 12cm fan

I can change the extrusion sizes programmatically if I need more space or can cut down on space.

issue is this radiator I bought is 15.5" long so that doesn't leave much vertical room for other stuff like the hard drive rack.

unfortunately might need a couple smaller radiators.

I thought to do this when I started reading the pinned post titled 'Listening-Reading Method and Spanish'.

https://farkastranslations.com/bilingual_books.php

I encoded it in 112kbps opus to an ogg file using ffmpeg (it's mono, ~731MB, 15:12:58 long): https://github.com/holdengreen/lingtool/blob/main/streams/center-earth-journey-es-en-original-botched.ogg

I wrote the script to process the text file at: https://farkastranslations.com/books/Verne_Jules-Voyage_au_Centre_de_la_Terre-fr-en-es-hu-nl.zip

Here is the script (https://github.com/holdengreen/lingtool/blob/main/src/center-earth-parallel.py):

from my twitter:

"So I'd like two radios that I can put on a portable module. One that's high range low rate. Other is low range high rate.

For a commodity mesh/peer to peer internet networking module.

I'm no RF expert myself but I'm trying to find these to order and put on a PCB in a 3D printed enclosure with battery that could maybe be carried around in the size of a pocket.

I think free internet is a right not something those sick lizards can gate keep.

And if this is not something I can find easily available then I would like to know how to skillfully manufacture them."

It's faster now, great.

The politics are actually mostly pretty good in this.

Months ago a ordered over $100 of components to complete a custom watercooling rig/loop for my workstation which I have begun to document in !gem and which should be completed shortly by the end of this year.

But I am still waiting for most of them which have been stuck at the 'customs clearance complete" stage for quite a while. Now most of those have been marked as complete in aliexpress and I have 15 days to file a dispute.

I will shortly try to pull up their tracking numbers and see if there is movement in the next couple of days. But I think I need to do the dispute.

Protectionists stop being lil *****.

They offered $65 + $16 shipping. The Instinct MI25 is not much more, $130, and just better. I will prob not even use the S9150 much unless I need the FP64 for something because it's relatively slow and power hungry.

I hope this community is ok for this site.

Edit: wow unixsurplusnet (ebay) is selling it for $99. gonna wait till the end of the year prob when I finish the workstation.

they have good hard drive and PSU deals too.

They got banned but they are young I think so maybe they could be forgiven.....

If you are unfamiliar with the AV1 codec well it is the successor to VP9 which was in the same class of h.264 which was and still is prolific on the internet. AV1 is a big jump over h264...

MediaTek was early to implemented AV1 in their Dimensity smartphone chips since 2019. And if you aren't aware those are in a lot of Chinese smartphones.

There is now a decent chance you own and use a device that supports AV1 decoding. This means that AV1 I think is going to take over the internet in the next few years.

Although AV1 is free and open source, it is a result of corporate socialism and Google's CIA influence. It probably wouldn't even be possible in the capitalist framework otherwise because big surprise intellectual property isn't actually good for innovation or much else.

My first computer as I remember. Great engineering, much innovation especially on the custom LCD which I'm surprised isn't in all the cheaper smart phones. Microsoft tried to ruin the software lol.

Don Hopkins announced that he is creating a free and open source port of the game SimCity to the OLPC

that's what I remember the most

wow. I've been designing toys with these things and it's always scared me.

^ stocking my electronics lab so I can get back to designing products.

But there is so much to choose from. I open all the categories I'm interested in on LCSC.com (I'm interested in most of the categories). I give some basic reqs if any and sort by cheapest.

So much endless options and so much information to wade through on every single chip. It's overwhelming and ends up being very time consuming.

On my feed I've seen articles that this Folio company wants to produce these drives in 2024. But I haven't seen anything real. Be cool if it were a real thing.
