He is an AfD fanboy, just like Elon. You can easily see what kind of people aggregate in that political corner.

Simple solution. Don't buy those games.

There was a time where the US were shooting Nazis instead of putting them in charge. Is it really bad to wish those times came back?

Nazis welcoming another Nazi.

Time to block his ex-twitter propaganda network in countries that are still civilized.

What clearer and more obvious sign does one need to call him a Nazi? Disabling his right-wing ex-twitter propaganda network in Europe (and other civilized places) should be a top priority.

My (European) school education at least taught me that speed of light (and therefore other electromagnetic radiation, too) can be assumed to be the speed of light without any measurable difference applied by the medium it is passing through.

I would expect that the laws regarding damages and liability would cover that. Which are part of the admirality law.

There are several problems if you want to interfere that communication.

First, you need to reverse engineer the protocol. For that you need to be able to log what nasa is sending and what they are receiving. Both has quite some problems, as the sending signal is tightly focused towards the spacecraft, so you probably have to find the actual dish and install a bug to read what they are sending. The NASA might object to that.

Second, you would need the hardware. Which is beyond the normal hobbyists budget.

And finally, you would have to be 100% spot on in your reverse engineering of the protocol or you'll probably just brick that thing.

"Let them board"? The ship is high on the suspects list for serious sabotage claims and has been stopped by the local military. Why can't they just search it, maybe with something signed by a judge?

 

Because you now did it to yourself.

 

My problem: I want to create an inventory of my parts. For that I need data I could look up on BL. Sadly, my storage has no internet whatsoever, so I need an offline solution.

I have found the LDRAW library inside the Studio installation, which gives me the parts and their design. They contain the name of the part, too, but only as a comment, and I have yet to verify if this is consistent. I think I could rig a software that renders me the picture as I need it for my application, so that's that.

But there are other files inside the Studio installation, and I wonder if there is a way to find the following information from this:

  • BL Category (Like "Brick" or "Plate Modified")
  • LEGO part numbers and colors that exists for a certain design
  • Parts Weight

I don't need any rapidly changing data like price or availability.

Has anyone here done this, or knows a software that does this?

 

Sounds easy? Well, it should have been. I'm not talking about a "Hello, World!" (although it is more or less on the same level for me). The goal was to write a set of three MQTT clients that properly talk with each other and interact nicely.

So I had to learn Python and MQTT on the same day. Should not be an issue after 40 years of programming. But it quickly turned out that the Python library/package for MQTT on Ubuntu was heavily outdated (1.6), and did not supply all the functions the documentation and examples (2.0) asked for. Using pip3 didn't work, as it complained that the package structure was maintained by the OS. In the end, I had to virtualize the python3 system and pip3 the 2.0 package there and run it.

After about three hours, I had the clients working as they should. Yes, I think MQTT is a good base for the next project.

 

I was just wondering. There was or is a mediawiki group on Reddit, but so far I could not find one here.

 

The new Eldorado Fortress is listed at €214.99. Is it just me, or is this set much to expensive for what it is? When I saw it, I thought "Maybe €150, €170 tops", and was shocked when I heard the real price.

I know (who doesn't?) that LEGO is not cheap, but this is not a Starwars set, it is 100% their own IP.
