Ukraine used ArduPilot to help it wipe out Russian targets. It wasn’t the first time and it won’t be the last.

Open source software used by hobbyist drones powered an attack that wiped out a third of Russia’s strategic long range bombers on Sunday afternoon, in one of the most daring and technically coordinated attacks in the war.

In broad daylight on Sunday, explosions rocked air bases in Belaya, Olenya, and Ivanovo in Russia, which are hundreds of miles from Ukraine. The Security Services of Ukraine’s (SBU) Operation Spider Web was a coordinated assault on Russian targets it claimed was more than a year in the making, which was carried out using a nearly 20-year-old piece of open source drone autopilot software called ArduPilot.

ArduPilot’s original creators were in awe of the attack. “That's ArduPilot, launched from my basement 18 years ago. Crazy,” Chris Anderson said in a comment on LinkedIn below footage of the attack.

 

Does anyone know along range version of the MLX90640? The MLX90640 has around 7 meters of Range, but i would need around 20 Meters of range. Any Suggestions? P.S.: It doesn't even have to be a breakout board, the sensor itself would be enough.

 

Now that Google is slowly but surely going to shits, i’m searching for a new search engine, and i was thinking, of going the extra mile and hosting my own, decentralized one, but which one should i choose (YACY, Presearch or Seeks), or are all of them not there yet?

They don't. There is no scheme. Nobody gets fired because they're a DEI. People get fired because of blatant racism.

Ich bin ehrlich... Ich hab Angst.

Now let's wait, and hope for the least worst...

You also could make it the default search engine in the settings menu. Also works on desktop.

Let me correct that for ya: Withdrawing US troops from Europe is Europe’s liberation. No Nation should have any troops outside of its border, neither Russia nor the United States. So Putin & Trump should fuck off out of Europe and especially Ukraine.

HOW?! How are these reflections so goood??

 

I'm currently trying to set up my own matrix instance, and most of it is working, except for the federation. Due to technical reasons the only way to host anything is over Cloudflared. I know it's not perfect but it is what it is. So now here's my problem. I'm currently trying to get federation working, but I'm a bit confused about the documentation. Also, I'm using the apt version, so for some reason most of the Directories are also different... If anyone did this before and could help me with this, i would be really thankful.

I just read a bit through some forum posts, and the 3 v2 seems to be one of the worst printers in Enders whole lineup. That's probably why our experiences are so different.

I think calling Ender "Chinese Crap" a bit harsh. I'm using an Ender 5 Plus, and I love it. Didn't even had to tinker a tiny bit to get it working right (Except for Leveling of course). It's reliable as hell, and not even 2% of my prints fail. Only improvement I would recommend is a a smaller nozzle.

Now he completely lost his mind...

Streaming one video for several minutes, and skipping between numerous videos every couple of seconds, is orders of magnitude more expensive. Video compression works on the idea that you store entire pictures rarely, and then just encode the difference between each frame. When you constantly need the start of videos, you constantly need the full picture of the first frame. This induces a much higher bandwidth requirement than with video that streams for several minutes continuously. Also consider the response time that is required to make the TikTok experience work.

Yeah, it would probably have to load the next 5-10 Videos in advance, and probably even continue sharing the last 5-10 to make the torrenting work properly. And the bandwidth use would be even higher this way... It would be possible to use even more advanced compression algorithms than TikTok, but that would require more performance on the clients end, and therefore lock out a lot of old and cheap devices.

I've gone of the google play charts.

I mean independent sponsorships still exist, and for most creators, that's the biggest source of income anyway.

 

In the last few months i really gotten into the whole Fediverse thing, but i noticed that, despite it being the most popular Social Media Platform, there isn't a TikTok alternative. I know there is Loops, but it's not open source or federated yet, so it's not really an option. Why is that?

 

I'm currently working on a DIY Laptop, that can also controll a drone. I found recievers for the video signal, but i have no idea how to controll the drone from my PC, like in a Video Game. Does anyone know what i would need for that? Software and Hardware wise.

 
 

Is there a way to manually change GNSS Networks (Galileo, GLONASS, Navstar, BeiDou) on android? Or at least deactivate a specific one? Maybe with root access?

 

Does Anybody know how the background of the App Icons is called in the gnome-shell.css file? I've been searching for hours, trying everything, that could possibly make sense, but i just can't find it.
