I dont have much dishes, because I eat my gruel directly from the pot. But €150 dishwasher was the greatest investment lately. Finally all tools, shoes and bicycle parts could be freed from the eternal grease and grime.

You only need strong Green party in the country and odds will even out. As we all know Finland has more fossil fuel than Norway. Peat is basically oil, but little younger. Finnish Green Party has managed to block all use of peat, because wh

Yes. But have those modules actually produced anything? I bought 6 watt panel from West Marine in 1992 and it was 80 dollars. According to my expert calculation with full sunshine everyday and kWh being 10 cents, it has not been profitable

Me myself maybe the only one here who used Roman Roads for effective travel. I bicycled from Finland to Yugoslavia in 1971. Roads were often just mud for tanks and lorries. But sometimes I found small roads with flat stones. Especially I re

Comical. I used to hang around Spain in wintertime in 80's, mostly living in tent, albeit I could afford a month in a pensionnat when I found a good one. People were friendly and sometimes suggested better camping place within their pr

Learned to make one nasty cabin. Those heavy unprotected logs rot and kill you.

Never seen Lisp-in-Lisp without additional (and boring) yapping. Just CAR, CDR and CONS. And assign and type-test and COND. It would probably be about 300 lines. "Most beautiful program ever" is short but the associated yapping ta

Tmux got a new life, because you cannot have several terminal screens in Termux (of Android). Screen was not good, because Control-A is important in both Emacs and Bash.

Only problem ever was the metacharacter Control-A. We didnt like it, because it messed the workflow in Emacs and Bash.

I have not had problem which cannot be solved with Openscad. Except those cases when the object is 3D-scanned and then I use Blender. At one particular case I had a scanned model but I remade the same thing in Openscad and checked that thos

I have whole album of disposable images. It was difficult to keep heavier cameras at arms length, so those cameras were foremostly selfie cameras. https://photos.app.goo.gl/iqRRtoFxwq771NLG2

Dummy.avi is useless map of perceived jerkiness.

Yes. That is how you make lively picture show. Sometimes it tries to align unrelated objects, but that is just funny.

Where FFMPEG really shines is stabilising video. Unfortunately not all versions have "vidstab". ffmpeg -i "$1" -vf vidstabdetect=shakiness=5:show=1 dummy.avi ffmpeg -i "$1" -vf yadif, format=yuv420p, vidstabtr

Obviously such Algol program produces Lisp-code and looks incomprehensible. But when Mulisp finally conquers the world, we can make backquote-style macro for Algol, where special characters indicate that following stuff needs to evaluated

From 1999. How many times you are going to do same sheiße over again? I am telling you, Mulisp (1978) solved all problems, because everything could be pretty-printed either in Algol-style or Lisp-style.

I bought crapload of high-quality carbon fiber rods and made a lightweight folding kayak frame. Those rods were clearly from aerospace industry, labeled мир, as in space station MIR.

I gave up trying to make Axidraw and all that slightly esoteric stuff working and just switched to G-code. (There was something totally wrong in the way snapped Inkscape used Python.) Also because I also have laser plotter and 3D-printer ru

I have major Ville Noko's sliderule from Winter War. Because he was architect and in artillery, this slide served dual functions. He calculated projectile trajectories and fortification parameters.

Original version was in 1988. I was bicycling Australia at the time and saw it on TV. Could have been Austrian invention anyways, perhaps?

The idea of using transparent container maybe a good idea. Some indicator when you are sucking only water. Because I am fool, I tried to make my own. But gave up because breakages were indicated only by lung full of water, which tend to be

There was Australian underwater breathing device, which used your leg movement as only powersource. As I recall it could do 5 meters. Very splendid, except some dozen people managed to misuse it. Diving deeper and without small emergency bo

Just for fun. What is the shortest micropython server for ON/OFF-type socket? Have not tested this yet: import network,socket,time sta_if = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF) if not sta_if.isconnected(): sta_if.active(

Not much of a project... I think nokia.exe is just made by modifying it while running it and freezing the situation with (make-exe). Not a good practice, imho.

by timonoko 2y ago
It looks like nokia.exe is somekind of special version of noko.exe. For example it refers to B:/NOKIA/COMMAND.COM instead of MSDOS-standard C:/COMMAND.COM.

Difference between "oneliness" and "loneliness" is crucial. I was little astonished when Lex Fridman told us that he does not have "Inner Voice" commenting all his doings. I have sometimes spent 6 months alone

As I recall Koreader did not recognize that there are basically two versions of TXT-files. In the first one paragraph is marked with single Carriage Return. In the second one the paragraph has two CRs and all single CRs can be replaced with

Testing in Dosbox: DIR.BAT does not override DIR. Conclusion: ".:$PATH" does not adhere to MSDOS tradition.. But I can take the risk.
