Stuff and Blabla
On my last replacement pads for my headphones. Wrote about this at https://beko.famkos.net/2022/03/19/1708554/ before. The last replacement pads promised to “not tear” within 6 months. What a promise of quality eh 😒 Anyway, this is how they do look half a year later. Totally tattered. I knew the parts are EOL for a while so I purchased several sets. That’s my last one however. Used the chance to vacuum the insides a little and this may have done the trick to fix some annoying crackling of the ANC function. Mebbe a fine hair was tickling it’s mic. Mebbe it’s just…

Apparently ~6000 people on the Market ~~Place~~Square of #Herrenberg protesting against Nazis. The place is very small because it’s the medieval part of this city – surrounded by old timber-framed buildings. It was almost impossible to move.

🔖 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.
Heh, I really have to find out how to not DoS myself whenever a blog article gets pushed via #ActivityPub 🤓
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 #grundig 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 💩
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.
