Anyone have any favorite PeerTube instances they can recommend? My instance, Diode Zone, is going away soon and I need to find a new place for my videos or just let them exist only on YouTube

@MLE_online i migrated to Maker Tube last week and it was fairly painless. it seems to be a good instance

i've been working on a project with a Pico W and DVI output that includes weather data. we're having a thunderstorm so that means a rare appearance of the pixelated lightning bolt sprite

@gvy_dvpont "in this project, i'll show you how to control the weather with sprites!"

thanks! the dvi stuff is fun, highly recommend. easy to run out of memory though so you sometimes have to get a little creative depending on your plans

@MLE_online indeed, @ecken originally drew them for a pyportal project (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Learning_System_Guides/tree/main/PyPortal/PyPortal_Titano_Weather_Station/icons) and then i resized them recently for an rgb matrix project and luckily that size and color profile ended up being a good fit for DVI

@tehstu so the RP2040 chip/pico or pico w can do graphics output over DVI. this screenshot is from the DVI output into a capture card on my computer

A narrative that has to be rewritten: the American South has great weather vs. terrible weather in #Boston. Have you spent Fall or Spring in Boston? It’s glorious! Sure we have a small number of days in the winter where it rains while it is cold, or when there is slushy snow, but fresh snow looks truly magnificent. We live close enough to ski, snowshoe, and walking on a quiet winter beach is priceless. Whiners were never taught to wear the right clothes. (1/2)

@gallaugher @ecken can confirm this 😸😸 we were just talking last night about how I was so worried how he’d feel about the weather but he’s been loving it

How can you be a grown person learning how to play the saxophone in a building with 16 units. be serious neighbor

@gvy_dvpont when i was in the 5th grade i chose saxophone to try and learn thru school and my mom made me practice in the basement. i did not learn the saxophone

blitzcitydiy,
@blitzcitydiy@mastodon.social avatar

@gvy_dvpont the sax failure was more of a public school system failure. i've had many successful musical rehearsals in basements. if anything a basement is ideal

Still unpacking from Open Hardware Summit (both brain-wise and clothing-wise). I had an impossible amount of fun and was so glad to meet so many of you IRL.

If you missed it, here's my talk:

Tried a new potato kugel recipe this year and it was excellent πŸ₯” got nice and crispy and was a hit at yesterday’s Sedar. Also liked that it didn’t use potato starch. Can’t go wrong with Ina Garten https://inagarteneats.com/ina-garten-potato-kugel/

@DrFerrous i'm tempted to try putting some in the waffle maker

I’ve had a cricut for about 2 years and the rubber rollers started to dry out and get super wonky. I’d been dreading opening it up to do the replacement but I finally did it and it worked great.

I normally prefer an article for repairs but this video was actually really excellent to follow along with: https://youtu.be/6gtmq7uYPb4?si=Xa1mJYGWd_jBOpZQ

Since starting playing piano again (after a long enough break the break could have kids in high school), I’ve mostly re-learned Moonlight Sonata (first two movements), Debussy’s Reverie, and learned 1st Gymnopaedie and Linus and Lucy (minus the jazz parts which elude me). What should I try next at this level? I’ve though about Claire de Lune, but I think that may be beyond me.

@blitzcitydiy@mastodon.social avatar

@stoneymonster not sure if you're a twin peaks fan but recently i've been enjoying playing a few of the songs from it (main theme and audrey's dance). they're fairly straight forward technique wise but sound interesting

blitzcitydiy,
@blitzcitydiy@mastodon.social avatar

@stoneymonster but also i feel like based on the pieces you listed you could tackle claire de lune. i remember playing it around the time that i learned moonlight sonata

Completed pre-therapy questionaires. Wow, I have a lot I need to talk with someone about. Maybe I should not have waited this long. :blobfoxpatsad:

@DrFerrous starting therapy is hard and you need to be ready. have faith that you are reaching out at the time that is right for you πŸ’œ

My office spent almost $2,000 on a pan-tilt-zoom iot camera for streaming earthquake press conferences, and it's never been used because it got infected with the Mirai botnet malware after they connected it to the internet.

I don't even see anything in the manual for how to do a factory reset so the camera can be fixed and used again.

@MLE_online all of your j0rb posts bring me right back to my days at my previous higher ed employer. we had so many situations where the tl;dr was a ton of money sunk into a piece of tech that was non functional for whatever reason

I replaced the display in my mom’s stove this morning. It had been flashing and freezing randomly for about a year. This is apparently a fairly common problem with Samsung stoves based on what I found online.

An LED stove display that is blinking and acting glitchy

@MLE_online @vxo @blitzcitydiy yeah same, I rock an apartment special. A single red LED tells me if it’s on or not
