i'm working on getting a somewhat obscure pro graphics card to work in a system, and i'm having to extract the bios for it and a bunch of other stuff. it's somewhat interesting as i haven't needed to flash a video card before, but it's been such an involved process, at this point i just want it to work so i can move on to other projects. also i ended up using wsl2 for this and it's.. not so good. it's ok in a pinch though, and nice to have better official support. wouldn't use it if i actually wanted to linux regularly

Today I'm going to get automatic deploys to our staging environment working finally.

Then later I'm going to hop on down to the ol' homebrew supply store to pick up my cider yeast order, then start the process of turning the bigass pile of pears from my tree out front into perry

I have a Prusa i3 with a few mods. I installed a hardened plated nozzle so that i can print fiber-reinforced filaments, I built in a Raspberry Pi so it can be on my network, and I reprinted all the orange parts with pistachio green and replaced the blue-and-white LCD screen with a red-and-black one so that it looks like a soviet era geiger counter.

it looks like a differential GPS system. you install a ground station at a known surveyed point and it receives GPS positioning data from the satellites, then compares what it's getting to its known location and broadcasts correction values to nearby receivers so they can accommodate for space weather and other error sources and increase precision. that is pretty common in surveying and some other fields.

the precision landing stuff is different from how it's currently done. a traditional ILS, whether on the ground or on a carrier, has narrow beam radio transmitters lined up with the runway and the plane follows the beams to land. GPS approaches are common these days, but i don't think there are GPS RNAV approaches that will actually get you right onto the runway -- they will all have a minimum decision altitude where if you are on the approach and you hit e.g. 500 feet AGL and you still don't see the runway through the fog, you have to abort the landing because the GPS position isn't guaranteed to be precise enough for a touchdown. there are ILS systems (category 3) that can guide a plane right down to 0 feet, but they require expensive precision transmitters on the field and so are only seen at big airports that regularly have heavy weather.

so basically i think the idea here is to use a ground station transmitting to nearby aircraft to improve GPS accuracy enough to enable ILS landings at any location -- particularly relevant to the VTOL F-35s they are showing in the video -- without having to install the fancy transmitters. there's also probably some security benefit over existing deployable ILS systems, since an ILS is literally a radio beacon shining into the sky saying "this is the exact location of the runway" while this GPS thing could be used over an encrypted datalink.

that's my interpretation :shrug:

Unfamiliar with using peaches but I found this discussion: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/why-cant-a-person-use-straight-peach-juice-for-cider.579337/

There's a good point made about peaches being very tart and sweet and if fermented it's liable to be super-tart.

Could always make a peach liqueur to use along with other things: https://www.thespruceeats.com/peach-liqueur-recipe-1807072

yay; i got it working, and now i have a quadro p4000 when i had a 1060 before. the 1060 stopped working a few months ago, so i looked around a bit and eventually found this quadro at a reasonable price. it's mostly just nice to have the system up and running, but the p4000 is only a bit slower than the 1070 for games and such too, so it should be nice

plus if i decide to do any 3d stuff it would work for that too. really good having the system back up, since it's the main comp i use for travelling. it even formats this display at the native 1366x768, which nothing ever does correctly. only thing is i have to use the onboard graphics before windows loads now, but that's fine whatevs
