You love to see it

Super useful, thanks for sharing!

Choosing is not so much about whether it’s internet facing or not. From the programmer’s perspective and an administrator’s perspective there are pros and cons to both. As someone looking to self-host, if you want to run a service that works with either, I would make the choice based on what seems the most supported, or which one you feel the most comfortable looking up and performing administrative tasks on. I tend to use postgresql more just because I have more experience with it and can recommend it if that’s what you need, but mysql can be just as good or better in many circumstances. Pick whichever one looks easier to you.

This does look promising. Website says they will do a Kickstarter this coming spring (2025) and uh, rather optimistically predicts shipping in the summer? Definitely bookmarking though, we need more tech like this. My final gripe is that I wish they talk about the software more. It’s not hard to find intriguing hardware but if it’s unsupported on the software side then it doesn’t matter.

proud of you

wait, do all of you wash your coffee cup regularly?

Yakuake for life baby, it’s the best, fully customizable, some really beautiful presets out there. My sweet spot is full screen but with 70ish percent opacity so I can read what’s behind it. Pull up your tutorial or walkthrough or whatever in a browser, hit f12 and goooooo.

Kissing the ring, like all the others

We made tuna melts ourselves tonight, the 2 year old cleaned his plate which is unusual around here.

If you liked this definitely checkout some of his other videos. At the level of work that he does you have to have a really solid model of reality and a lot of learned experience of how to measure and manipulate at extreme scales. He makes it look easy but this kind of thing really isn’t. Just a lot of fun seeing such a talented and educated person do a really neat demonstration.

I did end up getting one of those boards but I didn’t want a solution that relied on tape to mount and I don’t have a 3d printer to make my own adapter. Also that board didn’t come with dvr and while it’s got the plugs for a dvr board, it’s just another unsecured piece flailing around the headset.

I found a possible solution on banggood and I ordered one, fingers crossed it’s decent, I liked how easy it was to lock on or remove the module setup with the modified top plate and case. https://www.banggood.com/URUAV-AV-IN-Modification-Kit-with-5_8G-RX-PORT-V3_0-V3_0-PLUS-Digital-to-Analog-Receiver-Board-Adapter-Metal-Mounting-Case-Combo-for-Walksnail-GOGGLES-X-p-2008320.html

I didn’t really care about the adapter board that came with it but I figured between the “official” one and the one that comes with the kit I would have plenty of options. It looks big enough for me to stick a runcam dvr board in there somewhere so I ordered that too https://shop.runcam.com/runcam-mini-fpv-dvr/

Now I just need to pick a module, I know everyone recommends the crossfire or fusion modules but I was hoping for something cheaper, I just want to fly my tinywhoops around the house yknow. 😄 I like the air57 too and I hope to get one someday but since I already kinda had a 75mm class whoop I was looking forward to the superlite/supersmall air65. I can see myself getting into building them eventually but the price is so good on the bind’n’flys right now I was just going to save the effort and start with those.

Thanks for all the advice, I really appreciate, I still have lots to learn!

honestly curious, why the hell was this downvoted? I work in this space and I thought this was still the generally accepted advice?

also curious, buying new is getting too pricey for me

I love it! I’ve really been enjoying my meteor 75 but I’m gearing up to go analog next, thinking about an air65. Trying to do those in-place flips with the meteor 75 and the walksnail is super tough. Air65 looks like it’ll be easier to fly in my house. Trying to figure out how I want to add an analog receiver to my goggles x is not as easy as I’d hoped though 🙄

Quality post, thanks for sharing!

So pretty

Words of wisdom here

Never thought we’d agree on anything

Lit. It’s a good ask although it’s not clear what separation means here. Not going to hold my breath, the big corpos seem to usually win these kind of games.
