  • They are quality bricklaying guide line, I’ve found that stuff is pretty robust. Used a set of the same stuff for my camping setup for some seven years and not one has failed (and nature has tried!). This use is obviously very different, they’re out in the open all the time, so more than anything I’m getting practical experience whether the stuff is sufficient.

    The tripod is wooden, it’ll be finished in three years, so no sense in guying it with steel. If the mesh proves useful to the community, I’ll build better - the same design but out of aluminium.






  • On Sway:

    This goes in Sway’s config…

    output HEADLESS-1 {
    	pos 5120,0
    	mode 1920x1080@20Hz
    	bg ~/tausta_kuva fill
    }
    

    And this alias starts wayvnc.

    alias RuutuVNC='swaymsg create_output && nohup wayvnc 0.0.0.0 5900 >/dev/null &'

    After that, connect the VNC client on the tablet to port 5900 on the machine and sail the mouse cursor over to it when selecting the screen to share.

    There must have been a config for wayvnc somewhere, but I can’t find it. I don’t need to use this anymore after switching from a dual portrait setup to a dual LG DualUp setup, so that my screens are now pretty much square and the right way around. On the dual portrait setup, my screenshare would show up sideways in landscape :D



  • I’m involved with advancing Meshcore in my country, and started my journey with Reticulum. Love it. However, no-one else seems to share the passion for it. There’s always someone going ‘what, rectum?!’ and the rest haven’t even heard of it. It’s almost as if it has some kind of a public image crisis in the HAM spheres here. Why might that be? Should have been called ‘UNMQ-XQ’ for Universal Networking Mark Qvist - Extra Cool to fit the canon?




  • Nothing much – dd, support for ext3 which was the style at the time, and whatever the wired Ethernet in that old thing is. Sshfs would be nice.

    No need for a graphical environment. One thing that might be broken is the graphics adapter, since the machine supposedly boots every time, but once it gets into the display manager, it freezes. I figured if I keep it in text mode, it might stay up long enough for making a disk image. I haven’t yet got on with the operation, so I don’t know what the machine has.



  • Orkla osti melko hiljattain (5 v. sitten?) läjän suomalaisbrändejä. Ja eikös Ingmankin ole nykyään aidosti boikotoitavaa Nestleä.

    EDIT - Unileveriä, ei Nestleä.

    Tossahan kävi niinkin että maailman entinen paras lisäravinnebrändi Solgar (ei suomalainen) myytiin yritysryppään mukana Nestlelle. Kymmenen vuotta niitä syönyt mutta pakko oli luopua. Rahalla saa ja hevosella pääsee karkuun…


  • Story time. When living in Helsinki, Finland my group of friends was approached by some tourists. ‘Excuse me, we’re looking for this pub’. Okay, lots of them around, which one? ‘It’s called, like, the bubble on the hill…?’

    Took a good ten seconds of head scratching and then one of us got it. Mäkikupla! Literally Bubble On The Hill but since the names are so random over here, none of us had given second thought about the funny name.

    Told this story online and a Finnish person posted a confession. They’d been in Australia or whereever and recommended that particular place to someone. Looks like someone remembered.
