Been spending the day digitizing negatives. Some good shots from the recent camping trip.

The #madenewmakerspace in #Omaha #nebraska is looking for instructors!

We've set a goal to get at least 10 classes set up by the end of the year and I'm looking for instructors who would to share their experience with #maker topics like:
#3dprinting #openCad #electronics #lasercutting #woodworking #photography #technology #crafts
#textiles #lifehacks

Classes could be free or may charge a nominal fee, which will split with the instructor. DM me here or contact jim@madenewomaha.com

""1. Minimal-Node Modern CarsModern budget vehicles, such as base-trim models of the Dacia Sandero or the Renault Kwid, are engineered for cost-efficiency. Instead of having dozens of comfort and driver-assistance nodes, they frequently feature a centralized electronic architecture that relies on as few as 10 to 15 ECUs communicating over the CAN bus""

Cars with the fewest CAN (Controller Area Network) nodes or Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are typically older, carbureted vehicles or modern, low-cost budget cars. Older models lack modern safety and comfort ECUs, while some budget modern cars use centralized software to minimize hardware. https://share.google/aimode/uHzAkHr8G6f33Xp50

"A car doesn't have a single fixed number of nodes (Electronic Control Units or ECUs) for its CAN bus. While a whole vehicle may contain 70 to 150 total nodes, these are typically distributed across 5 to 12 separate, smaller networks. A single bus usually tops out at a practical limit of 30 to 50 nodes to maintain signal integrity."

16x4=64 nodes= possibly cheaper harness costs?

Benn Jordan has yet to miss. Love his videos, and the time and effort for this one is clear. What a great 45 minutes. Also, fuck, this is bleak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FZy1lBNykA #leveragism #capitalism #authoritarian

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext2 I can buy a 32TB drive today: https://www.seagate.com/products/enterprise-drives/exos/ and use a filesystem designed in 1993, before the Year 2038. Good times while they last :)
Though I suppose it would be interesting to see how/whether it works after that year. Or I could switch to ext4, or ZFS like in Solaris https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS

"Max volume size 2–32 TiB"
"ext2 is still the filesystem of choice for flash-based storage media (such as SD cards and USB flash drives)[citation needed] because its lack of a journal increases performance and minimizes the number of writes. This is important because many flash devices can only endure a limited number of write cycles. Since 2009,[18] the Linux kernel supports a journal-less mode of ext4 which provides benefits not found with ext2, such as larger file and volume sizes.[19]"
