This looks a lot like this navy program from 2016

There was a recent reporter that showed footage ant looked very similar. A sheriff also saw "50" taking off out of water. Seems like exactly what they were doing with it 10 years ago.

It blows my mind a news agency can't find this in 10 min. I fear that it is the GOP trying to take away our UAS and other airspace rights. I am very well versed in airspace regulations and many of the talking points the GOP are using are scare tactics and blantely making shit up.

Not sure I like the word "just" though. Not as empowering as it could be.

Fully Virtualized Gaming Server? in c/selfhosted

[–] pepperprepper 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

You can use proxmox to do most of this. Currently my set will only pass-through the gpu to one VM. I have heard of splitting the power among VMs but I have not gone down that rabbit hole. If I want to play with llms I fire up that server, if I want to game, I shut that down and fire up my windows 10 vm.

Dipole antenna performance improves dramatically only when touching the center conductor in c/[email protected]

[–] pepperprepper 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

You are an antenna, or more likely in this case a counterpoise to the existing antenna. Maybe try and add a pigtail of wire to be an actual counterpoise.

But it could be a million other things, you could be adding capacitance to the system to bring it more in tune. Have you tried changing the length of the legs? In a v configuration, they could need slightly different lengths to be in tune where you want it.
