Yep im guilty of that.

Honestly as long as theare using some kind of *nix im happy.

Mints great. I like POPos myself but its all good.

Can someone record? Ill be busy during that time…

Yeah all they would need is a small RTLSDR and they make them directional for police and such. Its how they get people interfering with police/fire/etc…etc… on different channels. At 1W or lower its going to be a bit hard to find, but anyone determined would be able to triangulate pretty quick.

They sell 2 helteks so you can play around with them for about 50$. Used to be around 30. I have a couple, they do decently well.

There are others but this is from a local makerspace and I have personally done this setup. It works well, as long as there is a node in a high place.

Honestly though its a hobby not something that can be relied on unless your whole community gets together. Hope you have fun!

Yep its a fun hobby though!

One of the best things about phones with batteries you can replace. You can take them out of the phone as well.

I can see the dependencies mucking everything up.

Why avoid the shell executor on docker? I did 4years of gitlab back a bit ago. It was super simple. But I haven’t kept up since work maintains actions and Travis. And there’s a way nowadays to inject the env or pull from a secret server-ish.

All ci is basically the same. Or at least for a while.

Circleci, Travis, and gitlab all allow you to ssh into the box you are trying your scripts on and fix it there. Much easier and takes a lot less time. Github actions have an unofficial way of doing it and is…not the best. Actions is actually one of the worst CIs I’m my experience.

There is a build page on the github for the device.

Laravel.

I have a tiny php library for a somewhat popular framework. It was made so a company could protect a very old database and certain tables. It started as a one off 9 years ago. It was one php file of less than 50 lines.

As of this month it has been downloaded 2 million times. I still can’t believe its been used this much. And I’m the only maintainer. If I wanted to I could ruin a lot of peoples days. But I won’t.

In a couple of decades, we are going to have large swaths of code that will outlive its creators being used on essential infrastructure.

So far we are seeing significant price increases/low availability in:

• RAM
• SSDs/hard drives
• some microcontrollers
• phones
• and now GPUs
  I think we are nearing a bit of a technological winter for the consumer market.

Its so nice on peertube nowadays. !peertube@lemmy.world if anyone wants to join and watch/post videos.

And of course arbitrary try Linux out. Its a very productive OS.
