a list of engines I ran across the other day: https://seirdy.one/posts/2021/03/10/search-engines-with-own-...

The three dominant English search engines with their own indexes are Google, Bing, and Yandex but this list has many spiders and engines that traverse the web.

There is something elegant about a pure hydraulic system that when all power is gone it still connects my brake lever to a brake caliper - i like the mostly fail safe implications of that design. As an EE, an MCU that decides to not follow its input 100% of the time - when say a wire gets corroded, shorter or disconnected gives me pause when it comes to reliably halting my multi ton machine at speed.

Scrolling through pics on mobile is difficult. Wanted to see all 29 steps but couldnt scroll it reliably.

I am thrilled that my type-ohs which I haven't been bothered to fix for years now positively indicate I am a human...... PERFECT.

Think we can get it with existing SP10 bit or “clutch” shaped bits?

Early work on hardware/firmware reverse engineering starts with teardown and analysis of a system. This 1 hour video follows the progress of reverse engineering $15 radio hardware.

Moved to nordic nRF52840 based system (RAK) because of the 9mA average draw to run Meshtastic for LoRa radio at 900mhz. Longest link so far from flat land is about 40 miles. Moving up the mountain to see what improved line of site can do.

Nordic chip is super impressive and power efficient compared to ESP32

Another vote for Go Map!! Developer is ex Microsoft sysinternals guy. I have been a beta tester for years. Love the app for quick edits in the field.

I map many trails on osm from personal site surveys and a combination of sat imagery and my gpx files. No way google is doing that because there is no one to steal the data from. It was me, the enthusiast that put it in osm directly. That’s just me and the trails I load tho. Example - Latest was short one at monkeyface falls. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/34.098058/-116.955639

long time editor of osm here. what you describe is what the rapid [1] editor from meta does where user is forced to manually select objects overlayed sat imagery. is limited to 50 objects before user must push. a great method i think
