Arduino Team (blog.arduino.cc)Take a moment to go and look up some photos of the cockpits of airplanes and spacecraft. All of them are packed full of instruments and controls. So why do we feel like we can play a flight simulator with a regular gamepad? If you’re doing so, then you’re missing out on a lot of […]
Oh wow, that was unexpected but Arduino themselves featured my ~~fire hazard~~ simulated cockpit on their blog: https://blog.arduino.cc/2023/09/21/piloting-spaceships-with-a-diy-cockpit/.
Yes I am totally hyperventilating right now. That was unexpected and I only know because someone asked if this is mine 🤓
Gotta admit though: I’d have liked linking to the primary source better. Namely this blog or https://SimPit.dev but… details.
So I’ve moved Thin Lizzy to Sawley Marina now with the help of a retired, experienced boating couple. There was a weir to pass on the way over plus some parking required, and having their help was amazing. I’m slotted in to a bankside berth with an electric and water bollard right in front of […]
Crawled around in some dark places today. Visited an old silver mine that goes back to #medieval times. What an interesting place.

Just one ping.
@edent (shkspr.mobi)Hello! Thank you for reading what I write. Sorry to ask, but… who are you? I was chatting to a friend about what it is like running a blog, finding new topics, keeping up with a daily schedule, moderating comments, etc. And they asked, quite reasonably, "who are your readers?" And, honestly, I have very […]
Pretty easy @edent. Reading in since 2019 when you posted “The future of the web, isn’t the web”. That was shortly before you added Webmentions 😀 I love your occasional reviews especially with an eye on the Linux-y side of things and your way to see the world seems to align fine with my own view.
I’m just your average 40-ish dad who works in tech and also happens to build cockpits for fun in the basement or loves swinging a sword around 🤓
…and I almost had longer hair than you once 😛
I got my hands on a 2nd hand #PinePhone and I’m really impressed so far. Still checking out it’s features using #postmarketOS. Came with a dongle so when connected to a display (and _some_ sort of keyboard) it basically turns into a complete workstation. How awesome is that?
Already sorry that I can’t keep it for myself since it’s a birthday present but I definitely tasted b… err… I want one too. Mebbe for my own birthday? Pretty please?
`gamescope` is slowly becoming the hammer to all of my gaming or recording issues on Linux PC.
Doesn’t capture in OBS via obs-vkcapture? Gamescope.
Get’s ideas about screen layout? Gamescope.
Has no built in FSR? Gamescope.
Doesn’t show up in the list for screenshare? Gamescope.
Does this post need a hashtag? #gamescope.
So I got a stuck #Evolution from time to time. No mailbox or calendar would load and Evolution eventually claim that it can’t connect to the accounts. Turns out this is quite literal. I’m on #GNOME and that has a framework for single sign-ins called GNOME Online Accounts or GOA for short (that thing I wish the Nextcloud client would USE too).
Apparently this happens _sometimes_ after standby/suspend, that I use quite often to save on power, so it was really hard to find. Looks like the goa-daemon gets stuck on resume. There is nothing in the journal or so.
Anyway, it can be restarted quite easily by executing `/usr/libexec/goa-daemon --replace` manually. So basically what happens on login. The effect on Evolution is instant. Yay, ~~spam~~mails again!
@edent (shkspr.mobi)I've been a vegetarian since the turn of the century. I always felt like I should probably be vegan but, you know, cheese is delicious. Then, without warning, my body decided that producing the human lactase enzyme was for losers. Stupid body! No more cheese for me 😭 The UK has come on leaps and […]

Can relate on the lactose part 😥
