No they are not CCD, they use microbolometers whatever those are. CCD IR sensors are for near infrared only, not the much longer thermal wavelengths.

Actually the flir lepton is not so high res either. Try digikey for higher res and higher priced modules.

80x60 resolution, there are already other cheaper sensors in this range. FLIR is way more expensive but has much higher res.

I thought this was a specific, unpopular version. The versions people actually used are still closed. Did that changee?

- Comment on [Repost] Reliable alternatives to AWS Deep Glacier for ~5TB? 5 days ago:
You could ask on lowendspirit.com for other cheap storage. Yeah Storage Box is mostly raw storage with RAID-6 but no automatic replication or backup. The somewhat.more expensive Storage Cloud product is backed up nightly.
- Comment on [Repost] Reliable alternatives to AWS Deep Glacier for ~5TB? 5 days ago:
Two locations in Germany and maybe one in Finland iirc. Check their website to be sure. None outside Europe for now.
- Comment on [Repost] Reliable alternatives to AWS Deep Glacier for ~5TB? 5 days ago:
I’m pretty happy with Hetzner Storage Box at around 2 euro/month/TB with no bandwidth fees.
- Comment on Self-hosted website for posting web novel/fiction 6 days ago:
If you want a fancy multi-user site, the source code for archiveofourown.org is on github or gitlab (idr which). But for a small single user site I’d just go static. You could go full nerdy and write in texinfo then run an html converter. Texinfo is actually for computer manuals so it has chapters, sections, cross references, indexes, link navigation between pages, the whole bit. It is a markup language which I think is better than a wysiwyg formatter for documents that will be read in more than one way. I think there is a way to make epubs from texinfo docs.
In a sort of similar spirit there is Org mode (org-mode.org) but you have to be or become an Emacs zealot to use it.
Look also at pandoc.org which converts between lots of formats.

- Comment on Would lemmy benefit of implementing Polls? 1 week ago:
It’s better than nothing if you record that account X voted in poll Y without recording how they voted. Just keep count of the # of votes for each option. After the poll loses, delete the list of voters for that poll. It might be possible to do something fancier to get more privacy.
- Comment on Would lemmy benefit of implementing Polls? 1 week ago:
I’m kind of against this unless people’s responses are kept private for real (i.e. not stored on the server). Otherwise it’s just more kompromat piling up.

- Comment on The Dangerous Rise of GPS Attacks 2 weeks ago:
It might be possible for e.g. airliners to use military GPS with anti-spoofing (encrypted GPS signal which is harder to spoof or jam, but which needs special receivers that have to be rekeyed regularly). Obvs that would require some bureaucratic cooperation between the air carriers and the military. Also, at least near airports, ground beacons can be used the same way.
Obviously the stuff with maps and triangulation, or celestial navigation can be done by computer now, instead of by some crewmember with a calculator. But GPS is sure a lot simpler to use.
Spoofing GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and the Chinese system (I forget what it’s called) all at the same time might be much more difficult than spoofing just one.

- Comment on People get addicted to delivery apps cause it lets you pretend you're on vacation all the time 2 weeks ago:
The delivery thing has never tempted me all that much. Microwaving some crap from the fridge is just as good as far as I’m concerned.
I do remember an awful but funny app, that would pick a random geolocation somewhere in your city, then simultaneously order a pizza to be delivered to that spot, and call an Uber to bring you there to receive the pizza. I wouldn’t want anyone to use it in real life, but as conceptual art I thought it was clever.
- Comment on Self hosted remote storage for VPS? 3 weeks ago:
Tbh I sometimes sshfs mount a vps onto a home machine but doing it the other way around doesn’t seem worthwhile. The idea of a vps is that it’s in a data center, has tons of bandwidth, backup power, you can set up a failover scheme if you need high availability, etc. Stuff like media is on your home server so you can use it locally, and maybe it’s backed up remotely just in case, but doesn’t need to be live mounted. That said, I’m used to home internet being unreliable compared to VPS, so mounting it to a vps sounds flaky.
If you want more storage on your vps, just get a bigger one, I would say. Or if you want tons of remote storage, get something with better connectivity.

Absolutely not. If asked, just refuse to answer, don’t lie. But, I’ve been summoned a few times and they’ve never asked about that, so far.

- Comment on Recommendation for outgoing-only SMTP server 4 weeks ago:
Deliverability is hard no matter what software you use. You have to spend a while warming your IP addresses. This is one thing I’d call a hassle to self host. I’ve been using mxroute.com which is diy friendly and cheap.

This is about an iPhone app that emulates a Gameboy, not anything like an Android rom that emulates the iPhone.
- Comment on UK flooded with forged stamps despite using barcodes — to prevent just that 4 weeks ago:
Are the bar codes really to prevent forgery? Or some other purpose? I’d never heard of counterfeit stamps before. It would be like counterfeiting one dollar bills.

Why not use rsync or even git?
- Comment on Standard notes: what about don’t put all your eggs in one basket rule? 5 weeks ago:
What is standard notes exactly and why would anyone use it? I hadn’t heard of it before today’s proton announcement. Private files should stay on your own PC, preferably airgapped, not on someone else’s server .
- Comment on How to organize courses and tutorials ? 5 weeks ago:
How many are you talking about? 100s? 1000s? Is it really different from books or CDs? Anyway the ones you have worked through are what matters. Data hoarding is fun but it’s not that much different from random bits on your hdd.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I don’t understand, there are hosted instances? How do they freak with the API restrictions?
I run a personal API client and it stopped working from my vps unless I log it in. It does work when I run it from home. It’s a very low volume thing though.
