Good morning. Looks like it’ll be a good caturday 😀

Ah.. this is the best week of spring for me. When all the stuff and especially the trees blossom 👌

I love sci-fi fantasy and spaceships. I also love buttons and switches but it seems that designers jump the “touch screens everywhere” train. Seems there is a secret contest who can cram in the most absurd amount of screens e.g. in a movie or game cockpit. I don’t like that. Imagine you can not eject that critical core because your fancy touch screen went byebye on the last barrage/power-surge. “Technician is informed”? This crept in basically everywhere. Give me back buttons. Clicky buttons! Shiny buttons! Glowing buttons! There are some games – like Orbiter Space Flight Simulator ( http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/ ) – that…

Today @scy@scy.name sent me down the LUT rabbit hole and while I’ve no idea what I’m doing I’m happy with the improved Chroma Keying result in #OBSstudio (Admire my beautiful colour palette provided by my little one for Father’s Day!)

Cracked one open already to see what’s inside?

I’m a simple man. I see #RSS I subscribe. 😄

Meh… that’s exactly the HDMI capture I got months ago. I needed it mostly to debug some Raspberry boot trouble that would show way too short to be parsed by a human before the device would reboot again so it’s okay. I did wonder though why the framerate was so jacked up but blamed the undervolted HDMI splitter (It came without a fitting PS so I’m happy that it does _something_). Lesson learnt. I suspect similar for a dead cheap SD-card writer at work.

I’m having way too much fun with this. Did some plumbing today and this is the result 😀 I patched the http server of https://github.com/Alia5/X4-rest-server/ to send Access-Control-Allow-Origin so the browser wouldn’t refuse to load. Could set up a proxy but I wanted results fast xD The flight instruments are from https://github.com/uw-ray/Skyhawk-Flight-Instruments and are not for #x4foundations obviously. Speed is also mapped to ALT as Fast Travel speed It reads just the camera position and not really the ship position (and since there is no up and down in space it settles fast on the new artificial horizon – may…
