that’s an interesting choice of packaging

Huh, Ghidra has a weird concept of project ownership. I can't edit the project I have in my Nextcloud from a different machine using a different username because... that's not the owner? Literally no other program I know has this weird behavior o.o

It seems there isn't even a good solution other than setting up a dedicated Ghidra server?

Maybe I can write a script that renames the owner in the project file to the current one automatically but that is so ass backwards lol

oh yeah also i have not found a brightness sensor in that display to this day. i have no idea what these engineers built there

And since its web interface exposes a "free text" form to have it say anything (with several seconds of lag since the web server is painfully slow), I set that up as a notification target in Home Assistant. Now the display can speak out things like "Washing machine finished" or "You got mail" :D

Another thing I did: I managed to enable the TTS engine and hooked up a speaker to the amp that's already on the control board. Now I can trigger it to read what's being displayed.
Well, sort of. You have to set up some things, like tell it which text fields (identified by their coordinates) it should read in which order, with prefixes and suffixes and some more things. It also has an optional periodic pilot tone (a little pop) for vision-impaired people.

When I got it, it had 15 MB free, which is a lot for some logs. So it lasted until now. Kind of amazing timing

Like, this would have happened at the station they came from sooner or later too?? I'm so confused. SaF really were kind of sloppy.

To come back to the more modern display in my hallway... It has started behaving weirdly a few days ago. Like, lagging, random things stuck on the screen, not updating, scroll texts freezing. I was puzzled, then I tried re-flashing the SD card dump I made when I got it, and it worked again.

It turns out. That it just logs everything it displays. To SD card. It was full, 0 bytes remaining. They just put a 4 GB SD card in there... and apparently no log rotation or anything???

Für beide Anzeiger ist ein Abnehmer gefunden!

Es müssen irgendwie die Kosten für die Gerichtsverfahren wieder rein geholt werden, daher der Preis.
Ich bin dieses Wochenende in der Region und kann die Anzeigen ggf. abholen, ich bitte dann aber um zeitnahe Abholung bei mir (Nähe Frankfurt am Main). Alternativ kann auch direkt etwas mit dem Verkäufer vereinbart werden.
Gerne teilen, ich würde gerne bis Freitag dem Verkäufer eine Rückmeldung geben.

🫟 Project Backstreet Car was a success!

One of #EF30's highlights: Animal Art Crimes turned an old car into a graffiti masterpiece.

The car was auctioned off by Uncle Kage for the impressive sum of 20,000€ - all for charity, of course!

See you again next year at

Heute war die Montage einer alten Bahnsteiganzeige von der Taunusbahn. Nach einigen Wochen Vorbereitung und Programmierung kann es jetzt verschiedene Dinge anzeigen.
Danke @cato

You'd think that if a serial port class has a read timeout parameter and allows you to specify how many bytes to read in a read operation, that read function would wait up to the timeout if less than the specified number of bytes have been read. Nope, it only does that if no bytes have been read at all. If even one byte has been read, it will happily return even before the timeout. Looking at you, C# :neofox_what:

when life gives you fursuits, make lemonade. then forget about the lemonade. rediscover it the next day and drink it. it's stale now. great job. wait why is there a fursuit in the kitchen

i guess this will qualify me to say i own three fursuits like some sort of rich furry lmao

So expect me to bring a copy of my fursuit head to events and ask around if anyone wants to wear it lmao
