  • Unless I'm thinking of something else, I'm pretty sure I had a tank tread "robot" set with a module that you could program really commands into, and then have them execute them in series.

    Go forward, turn right move backward twice, make a bunch of funny sounds and blink some lights, etc.

    That set was cool as shit.

    I was expecting it to be a clickbaity joke, but nope it's just another case of big companies doing asshole big company stuff because it's cheaper than doing the right thing. And, surprise surprise, facilitated by at least one local politician who profited off the assholery. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/spacex-texas-musk/

    I'm not sure about the capabilities of hosting on a Pi, but it should be straightforward to run a couple different apps in parallel to test and compare features (I'm currently doing exactly that with Plex and Jellyfin)

  • The $700 PS5 Pro doesn’t come with a disc drive
  • For $700 they could at least throw in a 4k Blu-ray player.

    Then again, I ponied up extra for the disc version of the original ps5 for that exact reason, only to find out the media player software is a giant piece of garbage that was clearly given no effort. So I can't say I'm too surprised.

    Maybe its just cause I'm high, but baby cows are frickin adorable, and now I'm thinking about finding a rancher friend.

  • The skill it must have taken to pull this off
  • Check the bottom of the bollard, it looks visible damaged where it meets the ground, like it had bent backwards towards the camera.

    I think the OP is right. It wouldn't need elasticity; it got bent down just far enough for the back end of the car to ride up on it, then when they pulled forward it dragged the bollard upright, at which point it punched through the floor.

    My guess is the metal had begun to rust where it meets the ground, and then some freeze thaw cycles crumbled the concrete, leaving it weak right where it meets the ground.

  • [Request] Emphasize / De-emphasize communities

    I have no idea if this is possible to implement on the client side, but it would be really cool to be able to pick which subbed communities are emphasized or de-emphasized in your feed.

    For example if you're on a niche sub that only gets a few posts per week, maybe you want to ALWAYS see new content regardless of how many upvotes or comments it gets.

    Conversely, I enjoy a few meme subs, but right now Risa completely dominates new/hot/best filtering for me. I'd be perfectly happy just seeing the top few posts sprinkled throughout my feed.

    Printer steppers causing lights to flicker

    I've noticed for awhile now that whenever my Ender 3 S1 Pro is running, some of the lights on the same circuit will flicker seemingly in time with changes in X or Y stage movement. I'd guess that it's a combination of these stages causing minor voltage spikes/dips when they accelerate, and certain cheaper LED bulbs don't tolerate those spikes/dips well.

    Has anyone else experienced this and implemented a good fix? It seems like some kind of power smoothing/conditioning filter plugged in between the printer and the wall would help isolate it. Most of those devices seem designed to isolate the device from fluctuations in the mains, and I'm not sure if it generally works both ways (seems like it should...)

    Googling around most people are blaming similar issues on poor wiring, which I suppose could be the case even though this is a newer house. But I see very little in terms of actual proven effective fixes, even though it sounds pretty straightforward on its face.

    Advice / thoughts?

    F*$# cancer

    Not sure where else to post this, but I just learned that an old buddy lost his lengthy battle with cancer this evening after putting up a solid fight. If anyone feels like raising a glass to a random stranger, I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

    Fuck cancer, and be excellent to each other 🥃

    Opening photo in landscape mode clips off the bottom edge

    Basically, the title. When opening a photo with my phone in landscape mode, frequently the bottom 5-10% of the photo is clipped off, and I cannot scroll down or zoom out to view it. Oddly, if I zoom in enough, then I can scroll down to view the clipped part.

    I've only noticed it when my phone is rotated in landscape mode, so I'm not entirely sure if it's limited to that mode, or if a tall enough picture would cause the same thing in portrait mode

    How to remove instance login for selection menu?

    I accidentally created a guest account by tapping "browse as guest" when trying to view an instance. This created a Guest_1 account in my list of instance accounts. Is there any way to remove this?

    [Feature Request] Show parent post when replying

    It would frequently be helpful to have the post you are directly replying to visible in the Reply screen. Or perhaps a "Show/Hide Parent Comment" toggle on the Reply screen on case you want to refer back or quote specific details from the parent.

    Request: Ability to link certain view settings to different accounts

    For example, have "Show NSFW" active when logged in to one account, but disabled when switching to another. Because... reasons 😉

    I believe Jerboa has this feature (account specific view settings}

    Really enjoying the app by the way!

    PLA or PETG for shop light mounting brackets?

    I'm planning to print up a bunch of brackets to mount LED shop lights (very similar to these) to the ceiling in my garage. My plan is to use an upside-down "U" shape bracket that screws into a joist/drywall anchor in the middle and then sort of clips around the sides of the metal frame.

    Maybe filament type doesn't matter much here, but I'd rather not come out to one of the lights having fallen on my car if I can help it 😅

    I think the main considerations are just temperature and stiffness. It can get up to about 85F in the garage on the hottest summer days, and probably a few degrees warmer by the ceiling. The lamps are cheap LED tubes, so the metal housing only gets slightly warm to the touch (say 90-100F or so). I know PLA is a bit stiffer at room temp, but I'm worried it might soften too much at the worst case of warm temperatures.

    Any thoughts on PLA vs PETG for this situation?
