- Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features 1 week ago:
Fair point. I really do wish it were more than “Pixel, or MotorolaSoonTM” for hardware choices. Who knows, though. Maybe other manufacturers will join the party.

If you live in the united states, then you DO need protection against police and state attacks.

Was away for a few days and just saw this reply. Yeah, brake fluid is super corrosive, especially on glass. The DOT rating (3, 4, 5, etc.) doesn’t play a role in how corrosive it is, it’s more about the different additives and composition of the specific fluid and what it’s service life is. The more you know…

Brake fluid would etch the glass of the lenses. Cleaning the surface wouldn’t return the camera to service. Better than paint would be any other substance to thin out the brake fluid for application, particularly if it were less noticeable than paint. That would cause the repair order to come in from lost data collection rather than a report of vandalism, denying them creeping time and that sweet, sweet data. Definitely don’t do that.
- Comment on Quidk! I need a chili recipe. What would you add to a pound of hamburger, diced jalapenos, chili powder and bloody mary mix? 2 weeks ago:
One correction to your recipe: the correct amount of beer is one full (bottle||can) plus one drop from a second. Then drink the rest.
Also, if you have the time, cut steak into 3/4" cubes and sear all six sides. Place in a plastic bag and cover with tequila. Place in the fridge for 24 hours or so and the alcohol will denature the proteins, giving an amazing texture.

Oddly, at the most recent no kings day rally, I saw zero meshtastic traffic. I was disappointed.

It’s half a terabyte and I’ve found all sorts of shit in there, but I doubt I’ll ever get it organized. I mocks me in defiance.

Lilygo uses old stock bb keyboards, I think. Looks exactly like the one an employer had me carry.
- Comment on Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3? 1 year ago:
Swapping out tubes (and opamps on your DAC) is very much a thing, and I’m convinced that I can hear the difference between a sovtek tube and a Chinese clone, but that could be all in my head, as it wasn’t a blind test. Do some research on the amps, but for computer use, Fosi mc331 has an integrated DAC and puts out about 100w per channel. If my computer didn’t already have active studio monitors, I’d have pulled the trigger on it by now. For $116, it’s hard to resist.
- Comment on Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3? 1 year ago:
If you can, I highly recommend you try it out. There’s relatively inexpensive tube amps, even on Amazon that you could play with and box back up if it’s not your cup of tea. I just looked at the compressor I use and the price has gone up to a point where it doesn’t make much sense anymore, but it is SUPER useful to add some warmth in between a digital source and the class d amps I use in my PA system.
- Comment on Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3? 1 year ago:
I’m curious if you’ve tried listening to lossy compressed audio through a vacuum tube output stage? I use a cheap tube compressor with the attack and release turned to minimal and just a little bit of extra makeup gain so that the tube colors the audio a small amount. Think of it like sanding the layer lines of a 3d print, but for audio. It does introduce a small amount of hiss and colors the midrange a bit more prominently, but you can eq that out.
