Psst... soft relaunch of my merch store today: https://www.redshirtjeff.com — I'll announce it on YouTube later, but if you like classics like "It was DNS" or "Cosplaying as a Sysadmin", get them now before the wider YT audience makes 'em go out of stock!
Odd, but cool; this is one of ArduCam's new Pivistation 5 pre-assembled cameras. Good enough for indoor use, but meant for camera development with a variety of their nice Sony sensors.
Been testing review units they sent, they're currently running a Kickstarter.
HamClock is easy to get going, but (a) any chance there's a retina-friendly option, and (b) is there a friendly fork where the source code is maintained somewhere in git, instead of in tarball-form?
There are thousands of these guys, crunching underfoot, being eaten by every critter in our yard, and now making the continuous racket... only a few making noise today, but it's coming. 80+ dB of cicada cacophony!!
Looking at the graph, it shows predicted G5 levels around 0900-1200 UTC, which would be 5:00 am EST, or 3:00 PST. Still a chance to see something tonight, but... it'll be quite early in the morning.
Apparently in response to backlash from their 'Crush' commercial, Apple has decided to put their Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard desktop image in the sky tonight.
Extreme G5 geomagnetic storm conditions tonight—if you have clear skies and you're not too close to the equator, look north! You might see the aurora. I'll be heading outside in a few hours 🤞
Not asking for rec's right now, but man... there are like 13 different decent open source SDR GUIs/web UIs out there. Only used Gqrx and CubicSDR but will probably be testing a bunch soon.
My Dad uses SDR# I think, I have a list now to try :P
