I ordered maybe like $300 at end of stuff from aliexpress and I think saved like $60.
Almost bought this great deal on a battery system.
got some solar cells,
Oneodio headset, netac ssd,
tried buying some metals like titanium rods as a store of value, 1515 aluminum set,
some LoRa/4G antennas for experimenting with mesh.
a few other bits
I made two orders and the second one finished like 30 seconds before midnight, it was crazy waiting for Honey to go through all the codes to get a really good discount.
I was preoccupied with shopping for like a week, that was pretty stressful and with other factors in my life.
Oh it’s disgusting. I was just thinking about it. As a younger person I wanted to hang low and get the f out of amerikkka in time, but I was disrupted by adults like that, they don’t respect my wishes.
And it’s been a very painful thing. They don’t get what they want from me, there is no way for them to do that as I have absolutely not allowed it.
And I get nothing productive for myself. Think of all the better things you can do with that sort of money and time.
Allow Sikhs to enlist without requiring loss of turbans or facial hair
Establish a Federal “chicken” court; whenever anyone feels the application of a rule by an agency is “chicken” they file a complaint with the chicken court - the judge and stenographer show up at the complainant’s location, record what the complainant has to say, gives the agency 5 days to defend, considers for another 5 days, and then issues a non-appealable ruling allowing or disallowing the application, the loser to pay the court $100 / Design some sort of Federal Small Claims Court where the targeted public, especially farmers, can protest arbitrarily applied and pointless regulations, and get the application of them suspended or redressed.
Bring back ACORN.
Require human rights improvements by Israel in exchange for continuing the $3,000,000,000 in annual foreign aid; Conversely, no direct or indirect foreign aid or any other funding shall be paid to any government or organization that does not remove from its constitution, charter, bylaws or other governing documents any advocacy for the destruction of Israel or its people.
Support Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation (SSMN) tribal recognition.
Encourage presidential candidates and Supreme Court Nominees to reveal their IQ, LSAT, SAT, etc. scores; move towards an understanding that climate-change deniers are unfit for public office.
Change U.S. Government programming procurement to engage the vendors with the best programmers rather than those with the best lawyers.
Consider banning Corexit? Consider banning PFAs?
If there is a test out there that grades a person’s moral IQ, require a minimum score to be allowed to hold elective office.
Provide lifetime voting membership in the House of Representatives for all past Presidents
Repeal the right to keep and bear arms Require that every Congressional freshman who has not done so take an Economics 101 course, and keep taking it until achieving a passing grade Construct an adequate Congressional dormitory as part of the Capitol Complex
“”" United Nations: Resolution by the U.N. / The Putin Resolution:
Upon petition by any member nation, the United Nations shall draft for consideration a set of criteria and/or standards for defining an autocratic ruler.
Thereafter, upon petition by any member nation, the United Nations shall consider whether or not a particular ruler is an autocrat.
Thereafter, upon petition by any member nation, the United Nations shall consider whether on not a particular adjudged autocrat has killed or caused the death of ____ people within or without the ruled country, and if it determines that threshold death toll has been exceeded, shall draft for consideration a proposal for the United Nations to remove that autocrat from power.

well I want to know how to make a good radio module/antenna… so I can put it on a portable device that random people may be incentivized to carry.
The internet would be fine, it’s the web that would be destroyed.
They could just throttle any IP that isn’t on their list.
That’s not much of a problem if someone can get a bunch of decentralized infrastructure up that would allow peer-to-peer connections, but obviously anyone who does that isn’t going to get any funding from the bourgeois who want to control where and how users connect so they can impose restrictions and data collection.
That’s what I want, just need to try and do the work and see where it goes.
I’ve wanted to set up public, free infrastructure for p2p connections for a long time, but unfortunately, I don’t have enough money.
I don’t either, I just try to do my part anyways…
so I’m gonna try to make a module and stuff, anyone else doing this here?
I look endlessly for parts on alibaba, rn for solar batteries.
And I have tried to ship for parts like cooling fans but then I am bitten by shipping at the end....
Now I find myself having to inquire about each part because the prices listed aren't accurate.
How to get what I need?
Cat climbed up on the counter and tried to mess em up.
I want to start an indoor and outdoor garden. Planting season is coming up.
I'm also having decent success germinating some rice.
I'm somewhat regretting my choice to buy pinto and black bean 'seeds'.
Also I've been making trips up into the hills to dig up naturally occurring clay and that sort of thing and carry it down in my big backpack.
Maybe I can try and make some dirt out of that.... I already went to home depot to get some garden fertilizer, but I prob need to get some high nitrogen stuff in bulk.
from my twitter:

[Workstation Thread 2022](https://lemmygrad.ml/post/372601)
I think this will be the final design:
room for 3 hard drives and a liquid cooling reservoir + extra space between mobo and fans and above and below that. and there should be space on the exterior for vents, PCIe io, and whatever else.
the code: https://github.com/greenempower/workstation/blob/main/casing/mockup.scad
I count 4 red, 7 white, 9 brown extrusions. I'll get extra of each especially the 150mm brown extrusions.
updates -
Ok I ordered $80 worth of aluminum extrusions - $5 discount - $10 extra I prob won't use for this.
Instead of ordering the 150mm precut I ordered 8x 300mm because they are tangibly cheaper per mm so I will cut them in half as needed and have a few left over.
I will prob get plywood from home depot and plastic sheets (cheap PETG or acrylic) from mcmastercarr.

Run it with python3.9 and use `python3.9 -m pip install` to install the dependencies such as PyTorch.
This took maybe five hours to generate on my i7 6700HQ laptop. And btw I counted 13 exceptions either `Exception("Model couldn't generate your text, probably it's too long")` or one was `UserWarning: Text string is longer than 1000 symbols.`. This means I think the text is too big or there were some symbols or something it can't handle. I will investigate. `ValueError`(s) don't seem to be much of an issue tho.
There were 2155 translation pairs in total (most being large paragraphs) so missing 13 isn't a huge deal. The format of the file is separated by `\t` and `\n`. It comes in chunks where the paragraphs in different languages are seperated by the tabs and those chunks where the parallel translation moves on to the next set of equivalent paragraphs are separated by new lines. English is at index 1 and spanish at index 2.
Can't wait to use this tomorrow on my walks.
from my twitter:
"So I'd like two radios that I can put on a portable module. One that's high range low rate. Other is low range high rate.
For a commodity mesh/peer to peer internet networking module.
I'm no RF expert myself but I'm trying to find these to order and put on a PCB in a 3D printed enclosure with battery that could maybe be carried around in the size of a pocket.
I think free internet is a right not something those sick lizards can gate keep.
And if this is not something I can find easily available then I would like to know how to skillfully manufacture them."

The vocaloid version I am familiar with: https://youtu.be/FNXPBGaUIfU
Months ago a ordered over $100 of components to complete a custom watercooling rig/loop for my workstation which I have begun to document in !gem and which should be completed shortly by the end of this year.
But I am still waiting for most of them which have been stuck at the 'customs clearance complete" stage for quite a while. Now most of those have been marked as complete in aliexpress and I have 15 days to file a dispute.
I will shortly try to pull up their tracking numbers and see if there is movement in the next couple of days. But I think I need to do the dispute.
Protectionists stop being lil *****.
They offered $65 + $16 shipping. The Instinct MI25 is not much more, $130, and just better. I will prob not even use the S9150 much unless I need the FP64 for something because it's relatively slow and power hungry.
I hope this community is ok for this site.
Edit: wow unixsurplusnet (ebay) is selling it for $99. gonna wait till the end of the year prob when I finish the workstation.
they have good hard drive and PSU deals too.
My parents say this is obviously fake. My mom has a lot of experience with newborns over her life.
I thought this was a great introduction to lisp as someone who wants to be more familiar. I'm growing more interested in the channel.

I'm putting together a shopping list on LCSC rn. So to understand what I should stock atm I will try to index some of my short/mid term projects. Also it's good to write and keep track.
1. Immediately I am designing a new LED matrix toy. I have prob around 2k 0603 green SMD LEDs that I got as a gift from a friend years ago... And I have a small assortment of Padauk microcontrollers, but only about 2 each for a given form factor/model and spec. I have cutout a breakout PCB for it, but have not expanded on that. I don't see a programmable variant of my PMS134 so maybe I need to try using an external flash or something... I don't have the proper resistors for this which would be 0-1k ohm and sub 0603. Voltage should also be dropped to like 2.2V but I seem to only have CR 2450s... These things use more power than a lot of coin cell applications.
2. I've been planning to make a board for fabrication machines like specifically very cheap 3D printers... I'm inspired by the Teacup firmware and RepRap project. It should only need a simple M0 or RISC-V with DMA and serial buses. Maybe a ESP32-C3. Or there are many simple ARM solutions instead or as coprocessors for special functions maybe including locomotion control... Also consider some type of DAC system. Additionally this project could be accompanied by a special power supply unit.
3. So also I want to make a high range mesh networking unit... So specifically I should find RF components for that.
4. Future matrices. Future matrices will tend to use smaller LEDs (0403) and RGB LEDs. I found some small RGB LEDs (closer to 0603 but square) and I don't have any 0403. I also prefer use smaller/cheaper micros with these with some buffered shift registers on the outputs. I'm interested in the Shenzhen Fuman Elec 74HC164D. Also future matrices will have larger LED counts and so they may need more extended memory, smaller components and more efficient components.
5. I'd like to make a special PCIe card with lots of accelerators and IO. Or it could do anything but it'd be cool to make a PCIe card. And I have programmable logics sitting around.
6. An SBC. An SBC possibly with a purpose in a product such as a handheld. Would be great experience to hook up an Allwinner or something on my own board if that is something I can do.
7. I am still waiting on specific parts for my workstation. Would like to do more work on GEM OS on that system.
8. I have a ton of stuff to do around the property. Need to put up a barrier and do landscaping and stuff and prepare for the planting season next year....
9. Need to work on website stuff. I haven't touched my servers in a while but I did switch off of Cloudflare CDN. I should maybe put up a lemmy and work on the git, IPFS, email and some other stuff.
10. Should try to learn some softwares like Blender and FreeCAD. Maybe I'll try to learn some chemistry. And I've tried to study some languages. Also I've been reading history like California wikipedia but don't have much better than wikipedia.
11. Should clean up and develop my room some more. Need to develop the desk system and my shelving, make more room for the workstation cabinet. And get some better lighting and plants and scenery.
12. I'm considering prepping more and more. If I can farm decently enough maybe I can stash stuff and should order certain things while I can. I'm slowly running out of money and I need to consider things such as mining monero... I still want to make a stash in the mountains or something. And I can't reasonably afford some transport like a motorcycle.
I'll think of more stuff rn and I have more research and shopping to do. I'm going to go deep sea fishing with my bro, dad and his boss soon.
^ stocking my electronics lab so I can get back to designing products.
But there is so much to choose from. I open all the categories I'm interested in on LCSC.com (I'm interested in most of the categories). I give some basic reqs if any and sort by cheapest.
So much endless options and so much information to wade through on every single chip. It's overwhelming and ends up being very time consuming.

I ran Gentoo on our Ryzen 5800X computer... But we had to stop with that because after all my tinkering we didn't have a usable enough system capable of doing the things we needed, like running Steam.
I have developed a love/hate relationship with portage. It's very powerful letting you get at all the compiler flags. I like that. But it was too unwieldy also and parts of it felt a little outdated.
What I need for my workstation is something that is very powerful and efficient but also highly robust and stable enough to serve as the base for all my usages.
Maybe I'll try Funtoo. Thought about NixOS or something but don't want to do that really.
