Sounds just a little bit stupid. On that note: Finnish "moni" and Middle English "moni" mean the same ie "many". According to Wiktionary they are not related in any way.

Billion Dollar Brain (starring Michael Caine) was filmed in Helsinki. The 18th century house I was born into acted as KGB headquarters in Moscow.

What is the first book you want to see movie of? It should be verbatim and last a week, if needed. I vote for Hothouse , by Brian W Aldiss. So many images need to imagined, like spiders that jump to the moon and back again.

Github is the bestest and cheapest way to have public but moderately used website. -- There must be some throttling for heavy use. Otherwise it would explode.

Apropos. I repaired the micropython "urequests". So it now works both ways. Somebody was not happy with this fix, but did not suggest better solution. https://github.com/timonoko/t-watch-2020-micropython-hacks

Edited Google-Translation: Touch remote control ESP32 The previous everything control was a bit crap when the keys fell apart. K-mart had nice chrome pins, from which I made a 21-key controller, where the keys are primarily read via the MC1

Maintaining 40+ smart sockets was getting truly messy. Mostly I needed master switch to turn them all off. So eventually this evolved into this here touch-button master switch, with PIR-sensor for detecting sleep or absence (or death).

Interesting subject, for a change. Usually old camera stuff is just boring and bring up bad memories. We had color camera in 1950s, and the film was so expensive that using flash bulb everytime was good practice to ensure exposure was ok. S

It is flexible, so the width of the bucket is not critical. Of course it is essential you are from some nordic-asiatic squatting culture, and can squat comfortably for hours. Youtube-videos seem to prove that that you cannot become squatter

I totally solved the bathtub size issue. The shape was wrong and Japanese had it right. I am 72 kg and 177cm. Very economical too, with 20 liters I can totally submerge. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HDwDf1s4PD3KoW3c8

"Kuned" missing. Full name "Kunnallistiedon Editori". From 1973, perhaps. For PDP-11 and CP/M. It mostly solved issues regarding "ÄÖÅ"-characters on anglo-made TTY and video terminals. Most functions were

TIL: Teletype structural editor was from 1968. It was a marvel. Somebody tried such approach for Algol too, I remember. I myself thought it might be possible to make similar editor for free text. You could see whole book on one TTY-line. Fe

German kite sewing community recommended vintage Singer 404G Slant-O-Matic. When the needle is slanted it prevents wrinkling of thin fabric. Better than Walking Foot even, which I also have as on add-on. Also it has the super-zigzag, when m

Enough with floppy-analogies. Those who know, know that Algol-68 was 20 kbytes and it was one full roll of punched paper tape. Weighing 100 grams. So, 2 TB would require 10000 tons of papertape. (2e12/20e3/10/1e3) And as we

It was like good old Twitter. New account usually lasted for week, and then it was locked. I was banned mostly because of Russophobia. Twitter did not like one particular picture from Winter War.

What is an app? You can make shortcut to any script inside Termux. So I have dozens. Handiest one is an "app" that repeats my phone number aloud, because when needed I never remember it. while true; do termux-tts-speak

It has keyframe curves just like Cinelerra! Most other editors that these n00bs revel about are just ffmpeg with sugar-coated interface. No factual added functionality.

I bicycled across America on XB3. https://youtu.be/nmNpqdZY3Do?si=knSutS_JuMjTdIrJ Looks like I did the Alaska Hiway on XB3 too. They were very cheap in Finland, so you could use them as throwaways. https://youtu

Around Baltic sea there are lots of "cup-stones" ie large stones with lots of tiny cups painstakingly drilled in. Historians all agree that these are for "religious" purposes collecting blood from sacrificed beings. I sa
