Also, surprising everyone, water is wet AND bears shit in the woods!

YYYYMMDD is the only correct answer.

Would a couple desiccant packs in the enclosure work as well?

If I can't find something that'll work I'll do that for sure.

Yeah I was looking for a camera specific case, but I probably need to expand my search a bit. Maybe a more generic box of some sort.

Edit to add - This looks ideal, I just needed to think outside the box a bit more :)

 

I'm considering a project that would involve locating a camera in a high humidity environment, 90% range. The only waterproof case I've found that's waterproof is the entaniya in the attached pic but that may be overkill and I'm not sure where to source one in the US anyway.

Any suggestions? The pi will be ina different enclosure from the camera.

Probably be on sale during amazons upcoming thing. I prefer the freerider pro over the base version, it's lighter and stiffer.

Two main reasons for bike shoes - better grip, and a hard toebox. If you mountain bike, very very worth it.

A+ for setting, but set needs some work

Yeah, this is backwards. Heat tolerant, take ongoing damage to cold.

All new cars have the same problems. Mediocre interiors for the price, spyware, and rent seeking behavior for stuff like automated highway driving.

100%. It sucks, the prices are insane. Ours was insane. And those issues apply to all new cars, regardless of fuel.

We have a Hyundai Ioniq 6, about 18 months now. It has a touchscreen like all EVs (I know, there's a truck) but it still has a lot of physical buttons, unlike a Tesla which has gone way too far with the screen. We tried the Mustang and liked it, but liked this better, plus my wife wanted a sedan.

Biggest pro is it's not a Tesla. Also, I get home, plug it in, and go inside. Takes five seconds, and five more to unplug it. Plus, it's not a Tesla. Way less time than it takes at the gas station to fill my truck. It's also fast, a lot of fun to drive, and finally, it's not a Tesla.

Con would be road-tripping. If I was doing a ton of that, I'd be perhaps looking for an EREV of some sort, although 20-80% in 20 min isn't exactly horrible. Charger is CCS, but sometime this month Hyundai is sending me an NACS adapter, so no more issues there - we did have one time where we had to wait for CCS when a NACS was open, but not exactly a massive issue. The new models are NACS.

Forgot to mention, in US, range about 300 miles or so, and there was a sensor issue that ended up with a harness replacement that didn't cost me anything under warranty, but had an estimate of $8500.

Perfect. Ordered my parts, odds are I'm going to end up building a dozen of these. Thanks!

Cheaper is good. No issues with it being wireless? Or do you add a wired Ethernet adapter for this use case?

 

I want to set up pi-hole on a raspberry pi device of some sort and I'm having a hard time figuring out where to start with the hardware. I'm running skynet and diversion on Merlin right now for myself, but I want to put together a cheap plug and play box for non-technical family members, aside from repointing the router dns which I will do for them.

I think all I need would be the board (pi5 4gb?), power supply, case plus an sd card? Am I missing something?

 

I spend a lot of time on macOS for work, and the muscle memory for option keys drives me crazy, especially when copy/pasting in a terminal on my Linux installs. This fixes that problem nicely.

I haven't seen it shared much so hopefully useful for someone else.

 

I've recently started using signal and getting some of my contacts switched. I have a signal contact that's in my iPhone contact list, but isn't linked and I can't find any way to get that link created. He's tried toggling the privacy->phone number options on and off, the "who can see" and "who can find me", with no luck.

One possible clue - my first signal connection to this contact was in a group chat, I texted the link and he joined signal that way. No idea if relevant.

Any thoughts?

 

A few months ago in a reply in this post I mentioned looking for a camera that would record both forward and backward for cycling, and ran across this kickstarter today for exactly that, thought it was worth sharing.

 

I have been trying to get mint to install correctly on my system for the last couple days. After much messing around, trying different drives (new flash drive, new nvme) and stuff, I finally ran memtest and I'm getting lots of errors on both sticks, tested individually. It's 2x16 ddr4 3600; I lowered it to 1600 and still get lots of errors, ordered a new pair.

Here's my question - I have win10 on a separate drive. It boots fine and doesn't seem to have an issue with the ram at all. Is Linux more sensitive to memory problems?

 

I've made the jump to Mint for my gaming PC. I work primarily on Ubuntu systems (cli, no gui) so it was a pretty simple choice. I installed GE proton, which fixed the lobby audio bug in phasmophobia, is there any reason I shouldn't just use that version of proton for all steam games?

One other question, evolution looks pretty solid for mail, any reason I should look elsewhere?

 

I'm thinking about picking up a pair of heated gloves; more specifically, heated glove liners. I'd prefer something a little thinner but durable enough to use without gloves over the top of them.

Any recommendations, brands or features to look for? I think some of them have elements up and down each finger, that's what I want, rather than something that just sits on the back of the hand.

Amazon is of course full of highly rated options but we all know what their ratings are worth.

 

"If you asked most owners of these e-bikes about which they’d give up if they had to, they’d probably tell you “take my 21-28 mph speed but leave me my throttle”."

This seems like a bad take. Do most people really only ride on the throttle?

I'll keep my higher speed and lose the throttle, thanks. How about a non-stupid firmware update that locks to 20 if a throttle is connected, and unlocks to 28 if there isn't one?

 

Interesting video. Doesn't really get into the second half of their title very much but covers the problem pretty well. People in general are just more angry now. Politics, finances, health care (!!!), climate change, etc etc etc.

From a cyclist's perspective (my own) the fix would be MUCH more protected infrastructure. That only addresses the immediate, physical issue tho - and it would 100% be seen as at the expense of other stressed road users. It does nothing to address the collective mental brokenness we seem to all be sharing.

 
 

I do not live in an Idaho stop state, but I do it regularly.
