    I agree with the image thing, I’m taking courses that require a lot of screenshots to be put into documents and it’s a bit annoying to do. Although, I get the feeling that it’s difficult because the goal is to give you more control and consistent results, rather than to “be easy”. I’ve had a ton of difficulty dealing with Microsoft office and images as well, but that is usually after the image is in there and I want to fine tune it. Also, I can grab an odt file from 15 years ago and it’s laid out exactly the same as when I first made it, I can’t open up a docx from two years ago without word messing up some part of the formatting.

    My understanding (poorly educated in Greek mythology) is that Sisyphus is being punished by performing a never ending task for all eternity, there’s nothing saying he can’t or isn’t allowed to enjoy it.

    I don’t believe crushing shit is prohibited, as long as the shit being crushed is either on his way up, or the boulder’s way down. In this situation it seems both options are within Sisyphus’ allowed routes, and he gets/has to crush some shit either way. So yes, Sisyphus is happy either way.



  • You’re correct in your understanding, but one problem is that Lora isn’t spread spectrum in the traditional sense(s). It’s a narrow band signal that traverses over a wide band as it’s method of modulation/encoding. The FCC has regulations for direct sequence spread spectrum (entire transmission is spread out) and frequency hopping spread spectrum (narrowband signal, randomly transmitted within a range). Lora is neither, using chirp spread spectrum (narrowband signal travels up and down within it’s bandwidth).

    The ideas as I understand them in the regulations is that a full spread transmission has lower amplitude and isn’t strong enough at any frequency to interfere with other transmitters, and the pseudo random spread doesn’t stay anywhere long enough to completely interfere on any one frequency. Lora isn’t either, but it is low power and traverses it’s bandwidth quickly, so it most closely follows the direct sequence spread spectrum method if you remove your glasses and squint.

    This sharp transmission, but travelling over a wide range is what makes it able to transmit over such long distances. It has the signal to noise of Morse code, and interference tolerance of direct sequence spread spectrum.









  • 2009 was when I went full time linux while at university. Jaunty jackalope. I remember installing fresh and my mind being blown by how fast it booted. The release before that all of my hardware worked with some small tweaks, but I still dual booted. With the boot speed increase and I think hibernate/suspend became reliable at that point as well, byebye Windows
