j2i.net @j2i.net · 04/10/2026Tried something out to see what would happen. Uploaded a wide aspect ratio 7680x2160 @ 120 FPS video to YouTube. I got back an error saying it could not be processed. I'm guessing it was the FPS. I would try again at 60 FPS, but the drive with the data is currently elsewhere. #YouTube #Video 101
j2i.net @j2i.net · 14/09/2026Tried out a Mission ILS in a driving scenario and learned something obvious. Though the camera itself is tolerant to vibrations, a lens may not be. I had an instance of shaky video that I think came from the lens being affected by vehicle vibrations from driving conditions. #gopro 000
j2i.net @j2i.net · 14/09/2026There is a huge difference in the thermal effects of performing a calculation on the NPU vs GPU. I am trying this on an Orange Pi 6 Plus. #NPU #SBC #OrangePi 100
j2i.net @j2i.net · 11/09/2026I bought a cello stand as a gift for my brother. They are surprisingly affordable. Consider one! 110
j2i.net @j2i.net · 01/09/2026I am fairly certain that I can use the microphone/headphone jack as a data port. Sure, there are probably ready-made solutions for this. But I want to play with making my own. 000
j2i.net @j2i.net · 20/08/2026I am old now. I thought I was old when I alone recognized that this picture of him from "Dune" (1984) was not Locutus missing an eye laser. 010
j2i.net @j2i.net · 20/08/2026I've been trying out the OrangePi Zero3 W. I had some issues with it locking up. Turns out this was a memory problem. I have the 1 gig unit and it by default used a swap size of 512 MB. When I changed the swapfile size to 2 gig, things ran fine! 100
j2i.net @j2i.net · 18/08/2026Trying to setup an OrangePi Zero3 W. I added a heating that mostly envelopes the case. It can run several flavors of Linux or Android TV. I am using Ubuntu #OrangePi #SBC #Linux #Ubuntu 000
j2i.net @j2i.net · 23/07/2026Back in 2023, I got a Samsung solid state drive for about the same price. #Memory #PC #Computers 100
j2i.net @j2i.net · 23/07/2026I think this mechanical hard drive is a bit pricy. 150 USD for 2TB. I am pretty sure I have gotten solid state storage for less. #Memory #PCs 100
j2i.net @j2i.net · 20/07/2026With the power being out for a few hours, I had the permission I needed to not be productive. I used that time to assemble this little (not LEGO) brick cappuccino machine. #legos 000
j2i.net @j2i.net · 16/07/2026Using the wrong USB-C cable with this drive has resulted in the max bandwidth being sseverely capped. I'm fully commited to this copy job and won't be stopping it to use a better cable. 001
j2i.net @j2i.net · 12/07/2026I really wanted to get this done in one go. I was running CAT-6 through the attic to a corner of the roof overhand gor a camera. I could hear thunder in the distance. So I stopped work, put up the ladder, and called it a day. There is now a cable hanging outside the house. #networking #security 010
j2i.net @j2i.net · 04/07/2026I am starting this book, reading through chapter 0 now. In it, Stroustrup makes a best effort to explain the historical events and and decisions around the design of the language. Stroustrup says he tries to use references to avoid revisionist history. #cpp #programming #stroustrup 140
j2i.net @j2i.net · 01/07/2026This demands a comparison with the uConsole. #pi #raspberrypi #linux 110
j2i.net @j2i.net · 01/07/2026My WaveShare PocketTerm 35 showed up. I forgot I ordered this! I just set it up. Plan to use it tonight. #raspberrypi #pi #linux 100
j2i.net @j2i.net · 17/06/2026It doesn't looked to be fully baked yet. Oh well. Off to Claude code. #GitHub #Copilot 020
j2i.net @j2i.net · 17/06/2026The usage stats this AM showed a couple of invocation from 2 weeks ago. That history is now gone. The usage page shows I have used 0 credits. AI credits are an abstract unit of work to me. But let's try something out. 100
j2i.net @j2i.net · 31/05/2026Testing a global shutter dual camera web cam. Ive taped it to a blind and have it pointed at the horizon and have a time-lapse app running. 110
j2i.net @j2i.net · 28/05/2026There is a build script in the JavaCard Simulator package that expects a folder named "runtime" within the pacakge. But there is no such folder in the package. Hoping that is the only misalignment in the package. #Java #JavaCard 141
j2i.net @j2i.net · 12/11/2025Starting a new .Net project. I get to choose the IDE. .Net 10 and VS 2026 it is! #dotnet #visualstudio 030
j2i.net @j2i.net · 09/10/2025Looks that Android is going Age Verification now. And app developers are going to have a duty in it, too. #Android #Google #AgeVerification 000
j2i.net @j2i.net · 18/09/2025I've read too many liability lawsuits. I look at think and only thing "They applied CYA to a failure to warn claim." 000
j2i.net @j2i.net · 01/08/2025Taking pictures of the PicoCalc to see which one I like most. #RaspberryPi #PiPico #Pico 031
j2i.net @j2i.net · 16/06/2025This, right here! Sometimes I'm in environments where there might be a few days before I have connectivity, and I hate when my games won't function without an Internet connection. Why do I need the internet to play solitaire!? 010
j2i.net @j2i.net · 16/06/2025Oh no! I'm out of space on my drive with my video footage! Time for an upgrade! #Computers 001
j2i.net @j2i.net · 08/06/2025Like others, I clap at the beginning of a recording session to more easily line up the audio recording with the one from the camera. I have a specific clapping pattern, and it unintentionally let me see I had imported the wrong audio for my video. In practice, this could be useful! #Video 000
j2i.net @j2i.net · 13/05/2025All right! 5,000 kWh! How many times can I charge my phone in a power outage with this? #Jackery 000
j2i.net @j2i.net · 05/05/2025I stumbled on this old picture I took of archaic 3D image viewing devices! lol 000
j2i.net @j2i.net · 03/04/2025After running `make && make install` I have my output! Now I need to see if I can link to it. #SpiderMonkey #JavaScript #CPP 000
j2i.net @j2i.net · 03/04/2025Hmmm....I was referred to a URL as a great embedding start. I go to the page and see this. This doesn't look promising. 100
j2i.net @j2i.net · 09/03/2025This is my second least favourite way that a computer olds a M.2 drive. It extends beyond the motherboard. The computer already had a 3 terabyte SSD that runs fast enough. I will hold off on reinstalling the OS. This drive will be used for other work. #Computers 000
j2i.net @j2i.net · 26/02/2025Is there no std::putws in C++23? I just tried it out with Microsoft's compiler. Perhaps I need a preview edition of Visual Studio. #cpp #programming 100
j2i.net @j2i.net · 18/02/2025Experimented with a shot today for a coming Pi Pico video. I was trying to shift focus plane while the camera was on the tripod. But the vibrations from me manipulating the camera show throw. The camera does record from its accelerometer though, useful for stabilizing the video. #PiPico #Pico 110
j2i.net @j2i.net · 15/02/2025Clearly the best shipping option for the price is the one that will get my goods to me in 2 fortnights or less! 000
j2i.net @j2i.net · 15/02/2025This Third-Party Pico variation has 48 GPIOs. I'm going to grab one to use with the Game Boy break-out board. If I use this variation, then I don't need latches to interact with the cart. #Pi #PiPico #Circuits 000
j2i.net @j2i.net · 14/02/2025I usually make videos at 6K resolution and 50 FPS. YouTube only supports 4K and 8K. So these videos get converted to 4K. Probably a waste of bytes. 000
j2i.net @j2i.net · 13/02/2025Video edited, thumbnail made. I'll post it in a week or so after I do a writeup. Not that someone needs to really be told not to do this. People can be fundamentally lazy and I don't think it is the general case that someone will decide to do this. Nevertheless #Programming #Assembly 000
