So... Aurora forecast: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/3-day-forecast

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.

I NEVER thought I'd see an aurora in St. Louis. But I did, and here's the video and timelapses I recorded—it was amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNNboe7m42U

@dryak We are in the middle of it too, but just outside the brighter part of St. Louis... that plus the aurora was quite bright! We got very lucky.

If forecast is good tonight, I might drive north!

4K video footage of the aurora from St. Louis, MO tonight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNWC-GOPlxY

@susiemagoo there were a couple minutes with enough activity to break through the lights here; definitely tough to see outside of that though!

@geekgonecrazy I know! Never thought that'd happen in my life

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 🤞

Part one of the new electronics workbench saga is out, over on Geerling Engineering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV1Iv9bXkdI

What are some of the essential tools you think we need on this bench?

geerlingguy,
@geerlingguy@mastodon.social avatar

@ednl Yep! Grounded it, it's nice to have an actually-grounded ESD mat :D

@geerlingguy@mastodon.social avatar

@ednl @niclas Yeah; that's in my rack room, but just added another one this week to my workbench, and have another couple to hang around where I may need them!

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

What's the best multi-chat app thing now? For multistreaming. And can it run on RPi?
I want a RPi setup that shows real giant chat (no typing boxes like Popout chat, just the chat) and let's me show alerts overtop

geerlingguy,
@geerlingguy@mastodon.social avatar

@jt_rebelo @EposVox Honestly I have tried finding that myself, and I just use streamlabs tool but it only integrates with one chat easily.

Hey @geerlingguy catching up on last night’s live stream with @CraftComputing and I have an idea for potential sponsors: hot dogs!

You and your dad can test out different hot dogs to see what produces the best sound, loudest, most bass, etc.

You could be rolling in that hot dog money. Then branch out to hot dog buns, condiments, etc.

@geerlingguy@mastodon.social avatar

@JLW_the_Jobber @CraftComputing haha believe me, I'm keeping a list of different objects we would like to test if we go back :)

Level up your remote video calls... just need a few thousand bucks and 8 years tweaking things, and you get: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF-MAuGPhcY :)

@kivrak thanks! Still very much a beginner. Getting a desk PC going soon with SDR so I can have some more fun/learning than just a handheld radio

Raspberry Pi just launched a Connect, a new VNC service that works with Pi OS 12 and Wayland and lets you access your Pis from any browser via a web UI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgbTNZD1Vcw

@geerlingguy I need to point out that this is entirely your fault.
