Yeah I hate this stuff too, I usually pipe it into a file figure out what it’s doing and manually install the program from there.

FWIW I’ve never found anything malicious from these scripts but my internal dialogue starts screaming when I see these in the wild, I don’t want to run some script and not know what it’s touching malicious or not it’s a PITA.

As a linux user, I like to know what’s happening under the hood as best I can and these scripts go against that

Ahaha I guess you can only resell skyrim so many times…

Looking forward to playing it, but I’m not paying for another goddamn fucking remake Todd. Yarr.

Mad that FPGA looks pretty cheap to toy around with thanks for letting me know!

I dream of making a SBC that has an FPGA and modular cable system to emulate as many device interfaces as possible

Absolutely loved that novel (novella?). The descriptive language really captures a lot of the theme, from the shipyard chained together into a shanty town to the description of Sols oven being modified to different energy sources as societies resources dwindled

Would absolutely recommend it, especially if you enjoyed soylent green

Thanks for expounding, I’ll definitely look into using that filament.

My aim is to find a cost effective diy solution for robotic servos. I want to try to make something equivalent to the Dynamixel mid range.

I think the cost of these motors make amateur robotics prohibitively expensive.

I considered designing a gear hob / jig to make hobs for the open lathe 3d print, but I feel like that’s too far abstracted from my purpose and most people wouldn’t be willing to go that route. (But it’d still be pretty cool)

So I’m considering multiple options, 3d printed gears, purchased metal gear sets, diy gears from the lathe

I’m gonna do some more research on these gears and I’ll let you know if I find anything culpable

Woah those are some cool properties, I wonder how hard these gears would be to manufacture at home? I’m looking at implementing my own custom gear reductions in servos but I don’t think my 3d prints will mesh well enough or withstand long usage

My common solution to boot issues that lock me out is,

1. Get a USB Live distro (always good to have a backup lying around)

2. Boot into live distro

3. Chroot into the broken distro (Arch wiki has an article on this)

4. Fix any bugs that I can find and/or reinstall the bootloader

5. Test, repeat until the problem has been found and fixed

Hope it helps any newcomers!

While I enjoy speculating over UFO/UAP footage, it can be abused by a lot of media to take the spotlight off of some other very real and most likely concerning news.

Trump is speed running the collapse of a nation, so it makes sense for coverage to deviate to UFO/other news when he’s doing dodgies.
