  • Sigh, with regards to drones, they use the torque from the motor to steer, they are also very finely balanced, so a motor dying in flight will make it fall from the sky.

    Now, this is clearly different from this device as it has (small) wings and the engines in the picture are all pointing diagonally in the same way, meaning that some lift is generated by the wings.

    It might be enough to land in an emergency if an engine quits.

    But a normal quad or even a hexa drone will just crash or start spinning if one engine quits.

    But I am man enough to be swayed by evidence, so show me a drone with one engine quitting mid flight that doesn’t just crash.





  • Nah, I host it on a web hotel.

    I am using a very generic ISP and they tend to have a dim view of running servers on their network.

    I did have an RPi running SSH and a Mumble server directly connected to the internet years ago, but after a few years I realized that I was bringing needless attention to my network when I found my server on Shodan.

    So I took it down…







  • I am a big fan of Ducky, and I’d recommend you to look at their popular One 3, or Shine series.

    I have not used a Shine in many years, but I am daily driving the One 2 series, the One 3 has replacable switches, RGB and a good design.

    As for what switch you should get…

    MX Brown are tactile, so no deliberate click, but just about any mechanical keyboard will make some noise depending on how you type.

    With replacable switches you can get other switches if you find the default not to be to your liking.


  • Eh, I get what you mean but I disagree.

    That is sort of saying that if someone want to learn Swedish, but since they don’t know any Swedish, it is better to start them on Norweigan first.

    If UFW had used a similar syntax to that of iptables, then it would be a decent way of doing it, but in this example I disagree with you

    UFW

    This is just my personal computer and I’m a newbie to configure firewalls

    Leave it alone.

    If you want to experiment, set up a VM and experiment there.

    Also, if you want to learn about Linux firewalls, go for iptables instead. UFW is easier, yes, but you won’t get the standard way of configuring a Linux firewall, though to be honest, unless you are directly connecting the computer to the internet, you probably won’t need to bother.

    And if you are working in an environment where you are dealing with a segmented network with limited access between segments, they will probably already use a separate firewall that is easier to manage centrally than induvidual firewalls running on individual computers



  • I feel like I belong to one of the last generations that had to figure stuff out on our own when it came to computers back when I was a kid.

    I was born in 87, my first computer ran Windows 3.11, I remember installing Windows 95 from floppy disks.

    The whole “it just works” part of tech is both fantastic and horrible, fantastic in that it works, horrible in that when it doesn’t you get way fewer tools to work with.
