  • You can listen to FM radio with gqrx relatively easily, if you can navigate through hundreds of input boxes.

    sudo apt-get install gqrx
    

    Anything more complicated will require some coding knowledge, unless someone already created a library for that specific thing.

    There is also a ready-made package to listen to GPS signal, unfortunately it needs an external amplifier and a proper antenna, because RTL-SDR is not sensitive enough for GPS.






  • So if I’m developing a garage door opener using ESP32 RISC-V module, I’m not a RISC-V developer? The dev tools and the cross-compiler only come in x86_64 variant, they simply won’t work on RISC-V laptop. But at least they provide a Linux installer.

    The only use case I can think of is to build Debian packages on a target architecture without cross-compilation, because many packages do not support cross-compilation, but it’s more an issue of poor build scripts.

    I first used Matplotlib 10 years ago. It was unintuitive and very slowly redrawing the whole plot each time you tried to zoom.

    I’m using it right now, and I’m happy to report that it kept to it’s time-honored tradition - zoom is still piss-slow even on my fancy new PC with 12 cores.

    Maybe in the next 20 years, matplotlib devs will discover wonders of tile cache.

    Electric bike is superior in every way except for one - people in regular cars pretty much ignore bikes on the road where I live. If you don’t want to be randomly run over, you need to drive something car-shaped. Our cities are not bike-friendly, squeezing passenger cars out of the city roads using taxes and tolls could probably solve this, like in Amsterdam.
