2·11 天前You’ve convinced me to learn and implement OTA on my 8266. Thanks!
I stopped commenting on YouTube videos when they stopped showing me a list of connects i made in the past.
For those looking to learn Spanish, find her:
Someone please just create an easy to follow DIY front light using diffused LED strip for my old kindle and I’m good for another decade. My Kindle even has power out pins on the back to make it easy.
Because you love the pain that comes with pulling your own hair out, one fistful at a time.
Just get the right glue:
- A spoon of TomYum Soup paste (spicy ground shrimp basically)
- Diced onions and bell peppers added raw once the ramen is off the heat. Adds crunch with taste
- Any of my favourite cup soup mix, mostly hot and sour
Sadly, strawberry season is gone where I am and I can’t wait to try this out. This year, i discovered that coriander goes very well with strawberries to make pesto. I ate 10 times more strawberries this year than my previous average.
If you are going the phone way and care to make the battery last longer, you can also install an app that keeps waiting to receive a keyword by SMS, upon receiving which it turns the GPS on, locates itself and sends the location back by SMS. It has dual benefit of not needing a data pack and making the battery last longer since the GPS or data is not on constantly. On the down side it’ll be tough to do live tracking by this approach.

These are just two links that came up using a basic search to do this. There are multiple listings on f-droid to help you not just get location but control the phone remotely over SMS.

I’m really sad VR went the way it did over the past decade. I was blown away with the simplicity and affordability of it when Google Cardboard launched. The standalone VR devices of today could have been just our current phones put inside head mounted brackets: easily available to most of us for cheap.
Besides gaming, VR has loads of cool educational uses. I find myself repeatedly going back to Google Earth VR on my Vive just to explore (both in 3D and street view mode) random places that I might never visit in real life.
1·4 个月前Lol, i was going to post the same question one of these days. I too am almost on the same version and I was hoping some kind soul would help me out.
On top of it I’m not very well versed with docker backups so I’m doubly scared. What I am going to do is to take a mirror image of my whole OS drive in my zfs mount that I use as backup, give a release notes a glance and go YOLO based on what I can make out.
Your post gives me a lot of hope. Thank you!
Asking a person with a sweet tooth to choose between sweet dishes is unfair. I sided with halwa because of its versatility and relative ease of cooking. Basundi is mostly condensed milk so it is more of a dessert while halwa with its carbs can make it a complete meal. But why compare? Let me cook halwa, you cook basundi… let’s share and double the fun.
Indian with a sweet tooth here. My vote goes to Halwa. It is a broad category of sweet dishes that can be made using different ingredients and each one of them are delicious in their own ways. They range from quick ones made of whole wheat flour, samolina or gram flour to tedious carrot and dry fruit ones. A bowl of home made Halwa is the very definition of comfort food for me.
Since no one has commented, let me be the first to say that the photo you shared looks really cool!
The typical home routers don’t support more than 20-25 simultaneous connections last i checked. I’m sure there must be professional devices that allow thousands of connections like they use in public wifi spots but I’m also sure they would be much pricier.
At this point, it is just a pursuit for understanding how these things work and if what I want can actually be made possible as alternative use case of WiFi, especially given how ubiquitous it is.
Thank you for indulging me nonetheless.
I’m honoured that you took the time to type all this out but it looks like I’ve failed yet again at conveying what I meant to ask and I’ll try to rephrase:
What you have been explaining is broadcasting when all devices are connected to the same network. I want to understand if it is possible to use WiFi just like a radio to broadcast data, without actually connecting. A device can transmit/broadcast, say, a video over the EM waves using some kind of modulation like they do in FM. The receiving devices, like our phones, already have hardware to receive these waves and process it to extract the information. Like I said, it already happens where the SSID of the WiFi transmitter/router is seen by all devices without actually connecting.
And before you say anything, yes I’m aware that it is a very small amount of data being ‘transmitted’ at a very low bitrate. But what is the limiting factor? Why can’t much more data be transmitted this way?
I’m really sorry if there is a silly answer to this as I’m sure there must be. But, like I said, i could never find it in my searches.
Thanks and cheers!
No, I wanted to bring out the irony. Maybe an ‘‽’ would have been better than the ‘?’ I put at the end of my comment.
I’ve wondered for a long time if it is possible to use WiFi as broadcast/multicast? I mean, i understand that it won’t work out of the box, but if one was to write code from ground up (ie different TCP protocol) can it be made possible to, say, transmit video lecture from one WiFi router and for multiple mobile phones to receive and view it without individually being connected to the network. Kind of like how everyone is able to view the SSID of the WiFi node without being connected.
Or is it a hardware level problem that I can’t wrap my head around. I have wanted to understand this for a long time but I don’t have a background in this subject and don’t know the right questions to ask. Even the LLM based search tools have not been of much help.
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!
