"Didn't I see you in (name of local odd hangout, like a gay bar or something)?"

Well, Stockholm is a few kilometers north of here. Maybe so 800km or so.

Like a broken clock, trump is right occasionally by calling her a wacko. But seeing them fighting like a hostily divorced couple is a wonderful sight. Let's break out the popcorn and celebrate!

Chinese cuisine will add a lot of tomato-based dishes in the future...

For every sign, there is a reason. An issue or problem big enough so somebody bothered and made a sign and hung it up.

I like the scene at the end where she tells other children in class what she did over the summer, and the teacher called it bullshit...

Regulars can guess the time of day by the minute by looking at the sun or moon to get an approximate time and refine it by which of the songs is playing at the moment.

Complete with a big golden cross on a chain, an AR15, and draped in an American flag, of course.

On my first cars, I had winter and summer tires. I had them changed and stored by the garage, and it was a waste of money. Especially when i moved close to my job and drove less than 12000km/year, aging was more of an issue than wear.

With all cars since then, I have all-year tires. I can't drive in the mountains in winter, but I never did in the last 50 years, and I don't plan to start now. For the 3-5 days of snow that we have, if any at all, this is more than sufficient. And it is way, way cheaper.

Good that I never had a reason to join.

 

I plan to make a BIG pot of onion gravy soon. Is there a rule of thumb about the volume and weight relation of sliced onions?

So, my big pot holds about 12l - I'd go for 10l here to have room to stir - if thinly sliced on a mandolin, how many kilograms of onions would that be?

Or, the other way round, if one slices a kilogram of onions, how much volume would that fill?

 

Looks like Jesus took the wheel.

 

I've got an HTML file on my phone, and would like to view it. But Firefox on Android has neither a menu entry "Open File", nor does using the file:// method work, nor is any app associated with the .html file extension.

BTW, Chrome suffers from the same problem. And it is not an issue with the file, it works when opened via the https:// method from my home server.

Why, oh why, can't I open a local file on Android?

 

Although I work with Audio, I have no real clue on how audio works on Linux, despite using it since Kernel 0.97...

What I have: I've got a machine with normal onboard audio IOs and a BT dongle. It is running Ubuntu Server.

What I want: I want it to take the analog signal from LineIn and forward this to a BT speaker linked to the BT dongle. This should preferably run like a service, so it autostarts when booting the server.

Any idea where to start, which programs and systems to look for?

 

I don't have a YouTube login on purpose. After having had issues with some random videos asking me to login to confirm my age (no porn or anything, seems to be random harrasment), I now get "log in to prove that you are not a bot" (rough translation).

 
  1. Januar 1933: Paul von Hindenburg: "Wenn er erst mal Reichskanzler ist, haben wir ihn unter Kontrolle"

  2. Januar 2025: Friedrich Merz: "Wir werden nächste Woche in den Deutschen Bundestag Anträge einbringen, die ausschließlich unserer Überzeugung entsprechen. [...] Und wir werden sie einbringen, unabhängig davon, wer ihnen zustimmt."

 

Because you now did it to yourself.

 

My problem: I want to create an inventory of my parts. For that I need data I could look up on BL. Sadly, my storage has no internet whatsoever, so I need an offline solution.

I have found the LDRAW library inside the Studio installation, which gives me the parts and their design. They contain the name of the part, too, but only as a comment, and I have yet to verify if this is consistent. I think I could rig a software that renders me the picture as I need it for my application, so that's that.

But there are other files inside the Studio installation, and I wonder if there is a way to find the following information from this:

  • BL Category (Like "Brick" or "Plate Modified")
  • LEGO part numbers and colors that exists for a certain design
  • Parts Weight

I don't need any rapidly changing data like price or availability.

Has anyone here done this, or knows a software that does this?

 

Sounds easy? Well, it should have been. I'm not talking about a "Hello, World!" (although it is more or less on the same level for me). The goal was to write a set of three MQTT clients that properly talk with each other and interact nicely.

So I had to learn Python and MQTT on the same day. Should not be an issue after 40 years of programming. But it quickly turned out that the Python library/package for MQTT on Ubuntu was heavily outdated (1.6), and did not supply all the functions the documentation and examples (2.0) asked for. Using pip3 didn't work, as it complained that the package structure was maintained by the OS. In the end, I had to virtualize the python3 system and pip3 the 2.0 package there and run it.

After about three hours, I had the clients working as they should. Yes, I think MQTT is a good base for the next project.

 

The new Eldorado Fortress is listed at €214.99. Is it just me, or is this set much to expensive for what it is? When I saw it, I thought "Maybe €150, €170 tops", and was shocked when I heard the real price.

I know (who doesn't?) that LEGO is not cheap, but this is not a Starwars set, it is 100% their own IP.
