I'm particularly proud of this. I crammed a mITX motherboard (5600G, 16GB RAM, 1TB NVMe) and a 650W SFX PSU into an old Samsung BT-120AT portable TV. I also managed to find a 5.6" 4:3 LCD to replace the original B&W CRT, and a circular LCD that perfectly fit the window for the AM/FM tuner. I have USB, HDMI, and C13 ports on a custom-made carbon fiber insert.
I have a few finishing touches I'd like to sort out: better power button, a screen to go behind the VHF/UHF tuner window, maybe a way to use the knobs for something (they're just held in place with hot glue at the moment). I also need to figure out how to talk to the circular LCD on the top, which I'll likely use to display system performance metrics. Still very happy with the progress so far!
It's running #Linux Mint, and it's going to serve as our entertainment center (I'll install some emulators, stepmania, maybe a few modern-ish Steam games). Right now it's just connected to our local Jellyfin server.
please dont ask me to sign up to your #discord or #telegram or such.
i won't.
i shouldn't have to.
i don't have time to hang around one channel per piece of tech in my household.
please write good #documentation. publish it on a static website. ask for help if you need help.
there is a reason good technology comes with good docs, not discord channels.
For the most part of my job I find myself right in the middle of this.
And I can understand and support both part.
What makes me laugh (and worry, a lot) is that nobody can understand that a trade-off is not a win-win.
A trade-off, in the large majority of the cases, is NOT a solution, it is only a temporary and short-sighted workaround where, maybe not immediately, everybody looses.
Sometimes when you are really feeling the Monday and are completely unmotivated, a little #project can do wonders for your dopamine levels.
The other day I fell over the "Honeycomb Storage Wall", a printable hex shaped pegboard solution. And today I printed out the first parts of my deployment, incl. two self designed mounts for my sinus rinse bottle 😊 The latter was driving me nuts thanks to it taking up space on my bathroom sink, and I've been meaning to solve this for ages now. Done!
"Huge funding from influential conservative donor networks is flowing into groups affiliated with a conservative venture aimed at creating a Republican 'government-in-waiting' [i.e., Project 2025], including over $55 million from groups linked to conservative activist Leonard Leo and the Koch network, according to an Accountable.US review shared exclusively with NBC News."
I finished up my small baby transition/ comfort blanket. Imma try and sell it and make more.
Need to make something with the colours I have left. I brought a few large bags of overstock really cheap and wanna use it before buying new more sustainable or thrift store yarn.
Many thanks to @Defolos: He explains some of the #history behind the #project, how the different variants differ from each other, how Tumbleweed's stability is ensured and what the gecko is all about.
Curious about our ArtNet based light control system?
We've created a web GUI that enables easy access to various typical vehicle lighting scenarios. The operator gets instant feedback about the currently activated scenario.
Our layering concept allows prioritizing lighting animations and stacking them on top of each other.
By the way: Animations are provided as CSV files. You're free in choosing the tool to generate these.
Ray ⬆️ @Razor58 is still in a motel looking for better housing or at least reliable shelter, he asked if there's anyone who could do this kind of trailer build?
He's still in #Amarillo TX for the time being. Would go elsewhere but ideally would like to go to #NC.
