Home Flight Sim Tour 2.0 (YouTube)
This is version 2 of my home flight sim tour.#flightsimulator #msfs2020 #xplane11

🔖 This is as DIY as it gets: Home Flight Sim Tour 2.0

YT suggested this one to me and I absolutely love it. A whole cockpit on a budget made from cardboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09GdiFmaHq0

It’s for civil aviation, unlike my own, and features some very neat ideas – like the fans in the ceiling, or [non functional] “fuses”, for more immersion. It always impresses me how far dedication and skill go.

Wann ist Wärmedämmung über die Grundstücksgrenze erlaubt? (dabonline.de)
Dieser Beitrag ist unter dem Titel „Grenzüberschreitende Wärmedämmung“ im Deutschen Architektenblatt 01-02.2023 erschienen. Von Volker Steves Jeder in der Sanierung tätige Architekt dürfte die folgende Situation kennen: Auf Wunsch des Bauherrn soll an dem Bestandsgebäude von außen eine W?...

So… in laws had an issue with their web radio “not connecting to the net”. WiFi was always spotty in that location but now it stopped completely.

Turns out that thing retrieves a channel list from grundig dot vtuner dot com and while the general vtuner website still works the server for does time out.

Apparently the model in question is no longer supported as well. Didn’t dig further. In laws decided to buy a newer model.

In other words: Repeating the same mistake again. Cloud 💩

Twitiverse by Matthias PfefferleMatthias Pfefferle (notiz.blog)
Jack Dorsey, CEO von Twitter, hat vorgestern einen spannenden Thread auf Twitter veröffentlicht: Twitter is funding a small independent team of up to five open source architects, engineers, and designers to develop an open and decentralized standard for social media. The goal is for Twitter to ulti...

Heh, the idea of Twitiverse didn’t age well eh? 4 years later:

Threads implements ActivityPub. X: Hold my beer.

It’s that time of the year again. It’s _cold_ outside and I sit at my PC anyway so let’s crunch some numbers to heat up the place:

> Dez 04 11:31:35 morpheus boinc[20347]: 04-Dec-2023 11:31:35 [World Community Grid] Requesting new tasks for CPU
> Dez 04 11:31:37 morpheus boinc[20347]: 04-Dec-2023 11:31:37 [World Community Grid] Scheduler request failed: HTTP service unavailable

Or not. AGAIN? FFS, how long has this migration been going?

Feels like nothing changed compared to last year.

* DNS works: dig +short scheduler.worldcommunitygrid.org > 199.241.167.118
* HTTP works: curl https://scheduler.worldcommunitygrid.org/boinc/wcg_cgi/fcgi
* The WCG server? Not so much:

<html><body><h1>503 Service Unavailable</h1>
No server is available to handle this request.
</body></html>

Guess I have to look for another project. My patience run dry like the task list.

USB Hotel

USB hotel almost completely occupied. Something something nature is healing.

Trying to eradicate waste from the household is hard! I mean beside obvious stuff, like soap instead of shampoo, it’s literally everywhere. I was just introduced to a more unexpected solution by ‘Dimicator’, who’s work I’m following closely for some years now. Roland suggests waxed cloth even in the fridge and not just for or – a very solution:

He also helpfully explains how to waxed cloth: https://www.patreon.com/posts/90314554

No first hand experience on this yet but tbf we’re already _not_ wrapping food in _single use_ plastic anyway. It is intriguing though. I mean people did fine without plastic for food supplies for centuries, no? 🤷
