@OutOfSpace thanks! Yes, all my design.

@teetrinker hmm. I'm sure you could add functionality like that for a "preset" button, but not sure if it's already implemented in the project. Right now it just lists your stations, or can cycle through them.

if I ever make another one of these I'll have to make some design improvements like strengthening the speaker grill, adding more space for internal wiring... For this one I decided that aiming for perfection would result in it never getting done!

I finally finished my WiFi radio build. It has some rough edges, but it's functional!

This uses yoRadio (github.com/e2002/yoradio) on an esp32, paired with a nice little enclosed speaker meant for a Harmon Kardon system.
I probably should have spent more than €2 on an amp, but it's not bad. 🤷‍♂️ I like the clicky buttons and big volume knob though!

front view; completed radio box. Rectangular, blue enclosure with rounded corners, gray font panel with a speaker grill on the left side, three buttons down the center, and volume knob + mini screen on the right side. Entire thing is sitting on a 3D printer plate.angled, close-up view to see the shape betterScreenshot of Plasticity 3D showing the rendered model.

I mean yeah, they understand what breaks, but without crunching the numbers they won't know much of anything useful about failure rates. Anecdotal data is still anecdotal even at larger volumes until you properly analyst it.

2026-01-31

This doesn't work though because they're not analysts. The brands they see broken the most are simply the top selling or top used brands by volume. I think the most repaired washing machine is Speed Queen or something - a commercial brand that based on a nieve read of the number is constantly breaking... except those things run constantly at laundromats, so are actually super reliable!

Aaed Musa? 😂 yes... I just watched that today and had the same reaction. The timelapse with rapidly switching banner ads was painful.

Brutality honest crime... within a brutal, capitalist world simulation??
Soo you're stuck managing the market economics of taxes, housing supply, unemployment, etc, AND you have no ability to reign in landlords with rent controls, no ability to offer public healthcare, and so on. Sounds terrible!

Same! When the Steam Deck was first released I also needed a new mini PC but couldn't justify buying both because I'm only an occasional gamer. Sooo I made the Deck do double duty. It has been my desktop PC for a few years now, was also a Jellyfin sever for a while, and still has a dual boot for SteamOS to keep my gaming separate and clean. It just sits on a dock next to my monitor most of the time.

Coming from the US? I made the move 2 years ago and love it. But I'd skip Barcelona. it's overrun by foreigners as it is and so you may find it less welcoming. Food is higher quality vs the US but limited in terms of international cuisine vs a big US city but you can get whatever you need to cook. Night life makes the US seem tame. Weather along the Mediterranean is amazing, but can be hot. Racism is more ignorant than purely hateful, but it exists. Cultural is big on community, family friendly.

I just can't believe that the community has built this amazing, enormously detailed, complex worldwide map on top of a collaborative system that makes all the community contributions possible, yet the final result for users is devoid of any real community. We did the hard part, but then skipped the relatively simple community features.

2026-01-26

Is there still no standardized way to include community feedback on POIs? Like reviews, comments, anything? A fediverse comment system would be ideal, but even a link to a 3rd party like trip advisor would be SOMETHING.

Like if I search "Pizza" near me and find some great options like this: comaps.at/sn9VH-jOQZ/La_Finest
I have no way of knowing that the place is any good, if it's still in business, etc. If I search trip advisor I can see 383 reviews, some very recent: tripadvisor.es/Restaurant_Revi

Assuming they have the same censorship as DeepSeek, I found it to be surprisingly clear in explaining what it won't discuss - including Tiananmen Square. Better than gaslighting I guess? But yeah, it is curious that they release the open weights.

@murteza @aral
Agreed. Aral, I have supported your work in Gaza and I think the Gaza Verified program is great. This line of reasoning is absolutely counterproductive to your own work.
Are you upset that your activism feels overshadowed at the moment by the ICE execution? Are people not supposed to get upset about anything else until Gaza improves?
Many of us upset today are also upset about Gaza and doing what little we can. Please don't attack the helpers.

Sarcasm? I think 50 CELSIUS (122F) is about on par with -20 Fahrenheit (-29C) in terms of pain and discomfort. People from temperate climates have no concept of how cold that is. Exposed skin can literally die in minutes.

Snapseed on mobile is amazing and surprisingly powerful. It basically has a history brush where you can go back through your entire edit history and modify a step or paint on/off any part of it. Is there anything on Linux with that capability?? I sometimes find myself switching to mobile for specific edits just because Snapseed is so much better.

I spent like 3 hours on this last week with no luck... I'll even settle for office 2016 if it would just work! LibreOffice Calc is unfortunately super clunky for even basic functionality. (Filtering, pivots, removing dups needs a PLUGIN...)
