I’m going to use this post to ask for a fix. I have an old generation kindle with no frontlight. What would be the easiest way to get a decent amount of diffused light on it? The device even has exposed power leads at the back for specialized covers for such things but frontlight covers aren’t available for sale in my country now.
Wait till they find out that your are capable of GOSUB - RETURN too.
I went with 8HzWAN_IP for the same effect.
Yes it has a scale changer. I love playing it when I can but I will admit I could never do justice to what it is capable of.
The one I have, Hohner Super 64x, is pretty expensive, at least for me.
I play a little bit of the harmonica. It’s gotten out of tune a little bit over the years and no places near me will repair it.
But what I’m really proud of is the set of ceramic bowls I’ve collected over the years to make what is called Jal tarang. Water needs to be filled in them to specified levels and struck with wooden sticks to make a musical note. Tuning it is an exercise of its own but I love playing it when I can find the time. Sounds really nice.
Here is a virtuoso of the instrument playing a song:
That this too, shall pass.
I have a tin box full of very old nibs which still look pristine. I bought them on impulse at a flea market dirt cheap. I have no idea what to do with them.
I stand corrected. The satellite data from remote sensing satellites downloaded at Antarctica downlink stations are sent back to other countries by geostationary satellite links.
My point is that Antarctica is well connected by fiber. Am I mistaken?
While this is indeed a noble cause, i wonder if internet being slow in Antarctica is real. A large number of data recieving stations for polar satellites are stationed in Antarctica and they send data to other continents through high speed fiber lines which are also used for internet.
I remember seeing him (or someone claiming to be him) here on lemmy after the big migration from the-place-we-don’t-talk-about. Someone was not impressed by him and told that to his face, politely. Never noticed him around since.
Not only can you create your own maps using QGIS, it also has plugins that lets you create webapps out of them that anyone in your network can access, without coding.
What is the typical power requirement on these devices? Can it be used to set up IoT sensor nodes in the wild where they work off solar, or do they need periodic tuning/care?

TIL about Tepache. Over the years I’ve made it a ritual to make ginger beer when the weather is favorable in my corner of the world and I look forward to it all the time. Could you help me with an easy to follow recipe? Does it work well with semi ripe pineapples cuz those are more easily found where I am? Is it possible to ferment this when humidity is on the higher side and the temperature is as high as mid 30s Celsius?
I think a Pi is an overkill for this. If I were to attempt this, i would try getting it done with an ESP8266 module which uses far less power, making the battery last much longer. Bootup and shutdown times would be much less so using coin cells or supercapacitors charged using small solar panels could also be used. If your home is not too far (few km), using LoRa could eliminate dependency on the WiFi. Cool use case, nonetheless!
I have two recommendations from BBC Podcasts:
13 Minutes to the Moon
And
History of Music (hosted by Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason)
You’ve convinced me to learn and implement OTA on my 8266. Thanks!
Can’t believe no one has said the dramatized version of LOTR broadcast by BBC in 1981! 12 hours plus of pure magic. Fun fact: Ian Holm gave the voice for Frodo in the radio version, the same guy who plays Bilbo in the movie trilogy.
Looks like it is on internet archive already: https://archive.org/details/lord-of-the-rings-10_202401 though I first downloaded it on high seas many years ago.
