The big question is: Will this thing die off in Yucatán, or march right across it, power up again, and hit Mexico? Like hurricane "Lee" did in 2023. How is the water temperature in the gulf at the moment?

Jetzt müsste die Initative es nur noch schaffen, die Webseite nicht aussehen zu lassen wie die selbsgtebastelte erste Webseite eines Drittklässlers.

Nicht nur, dass diese Berufspolitiker keinen Beitrag zum Bruttosozialprodukt leiten, die haben auch keine Ahnung wie das echte Leben von nah aussieht. Oder kennen die wahren Probleme der Leute. Den einzigen Input, auf dem sie ihre Politik ausrichten, ist das Gesülze der Lobbygruppen und ihrer reichen Freunde.

I'll wait and see if they manage to get embedded system debugging to work properly. What I've seen in the past has been a pain in the you-know-what in that regard, showing clearly that their main focus was PCs.

Best justice money can buy. Almost as good as in the US.

Who believes that Trump would serve his country? Trump would happily see the country go down in f-ing flames if it served him. Because he is the only one who counts for him, anything else does not matter at all.

In turn, if I'd find a copy of Windows, Office, or whatever Microsoft software on the net, I'd be free to use it in amy way I like? Because that is what he is basically arguing.

At a few billions net worth, the law ceases to be a problem, obviously.

Well, you can find whales on tinder, but sometimes they use a picture of a friend...

Somehow I have that burning desire to buy exactly that case of soda(?). Just for fun.

Next time, the candidates should get wired up, and a team of fact-checkers should get buttons labeled "that was a lie", shocking the candidate ever harder the more experts agree.

A Canon printer. Not just a simple one, but a big (wide) one with real ink tanks, about 20 years ago.

Under Linux, I could only access basic printing services with that, and this only by using a default driver not made by Canon that happened to work. So I contacted Canon to get a proper user manual to create a proper device driver for this (something I could have done without problems), and basically got the answer that they would not support this, as "open source is theft of intellectual property". They also had some very choice words about Linux in general.

I assumed I just got an asshole on the phone, so when I attended Cebit a short time later (back then the biggest trade fair in Europe for things like that), I went to the Canon booth, explained my issue, and basically got the same reply. So I sold the Canon printer and bought an HP one. At least HP supported Linux and supplied working drivers. Sadly, they have really gone down the drain since that, so the next printer will be a different brand again...

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.
