when you build a twitbot to you subscribe to certain tags or text and get notifications about it or do u just do some kind of polling/searching for new twits that match?

that's gotta be a lot of tweets tho. do you respond to each one or do you pick at random cause otherwise wouldn't u get throttled real fast?

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
ya too much data to do each tweet w/out getting throttled would be the concern. idk how the twitter api works if ur looking at incoming tweets.

when i was about 12 I got a little 5mw laser pointer for my birthday (it was like the most amazing thing ever, they were still rare at the time and cost about $40, i saw it in the edmund scientific catalog which i would read for fun just to give you an idea of what kind of person young sagebrush was). i loved that thing. i took it to school and showed off to my friends and they were all A REAL LASER WHOA. then after school while we were playing with it, one of the kids who was kind of a hypochondriac got it shone on his face for a second. he freaked out and started hyperventilating and ran home and like an hour later his mom phoned my mom and got all up in her business about how DANGEROUS it was to let a CHILD have a LASER and HE MIGHT HAVE HURT MY BOY'S VISION FOR LIFE WE'LL NEVER KNOW!! and then i had a big sit down talking to all night and they said i could never take it to school again.

dumb kid. he also broke my radio controlled car.

current Mac status: I dug an iMac G3/400 out of a recycle pile. 512MB of RAM, OS 9.1 on it. :toot:

unfortunately the CRT gets fuzzy once it's been on for a while and the slot-loading mechanism doesn't work :( I can't install OS X on it without a firewire DVD drive. G3 iMacs can't boot from USB drives and it's only got USB 1.1 anyway

the internet said you can try installing a big hard drive, partitioning it with a 4.7GB partition at the beginning of the drive, extracting the Tiger ISO to it, and use that to install. that's p complicated tho

there's another G3 iMac I'll rescue and see if that works any better

why are you playing with other people's trash?

if its in their house they're paying for it. an hdhomerun device might be worth considering, but if you want to do cable card idk for how long it will remain a thing.

something you should look into is if your in-laws cable provider offers their own streaming app which you would log in to with their account creds.

ahh. yeah an ota dvr would definitely be appropriate. are the STBs have DVR functionality as well, or are they just STB? I wonder if hdmi over ip would work over a vpn tunnel.

haveblue posted:

it'll "work" in that the handshake will work but you're not stuffing broadcast tv down a 100mbps connection without heavy recompression

there are probably DVR type products that will let you pair one in your house with one in your inlaws' house and then stream the original MPEG4 signal (possibly after fooling them into believing they're on the same LAN)

well I was thinking the hdmi off the cable set top box.

my parents are paying a ridiculous amount for their cable bill so I was looking at what directtvnow would cost and its not much cheaper for the channels they wanted and it doesn't have nesn so its basically useless.

Thanks!

I've been trying to automate it with a RaspberryPi but working with audio on linux has been kind of a nightmare (surprise).

In the meantime, I have a windows laptop running that is automatically pulling images down as satellites pass overhead. Its generating composites like this now!



I've also got it saving all the passes to a webpage, with more detailed info on each image/pass.

very nice.

it's pretty cut and dry. pagers have an 'expectation of privacy' just like the old analog cell networks, wireline phones and Usenet, even though anybody with rudimentary gear could get those transmissions/signals. the fact that pagers are insecure also means that they're simple, and messages get through when no other medium will do it. your average cell site has an output of a few dozen watts; a pager transmitter on a hospital site can break 400 watts because they HAVE to get critical pages through to doctors all the way down on the first floor, surrounded by 300 feet of concrete and rebar.

anyways yeah, you can POCSAG away, but sharing the contents of the transmissions with others is a no-no

one of our local hospitals switched to these wifi based phone/pager combos. they're like early 2000s nokia candy bar phone level of functionality
