    It's valentines day...

    Weeping alone. Actually Valentines Day is tomorrow. I spend most Saturdays catching up with things around the house.

    The gun thread

    Works for me. Maybe they block connections based on certain GeoLocations or regions they don't ship to?

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    I'm sure you can find a little mini quadcopter toy that is basic to get you started. If you have fun with that then you can certainly build your own. I'm surprised by how simple it is and how large of an RC community exists for such a thing. It's a lot of fun and will teach you some new skills...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    I've had this sonar module for about 4 months now. Since this weekend will be too cold to fly I figure I'll work on cleaning up the wiring on the FPV goggles and getting this wired up and configured. I like how the module looks like Johny 5.... It should be actually quite easy to get setup...

    FraudRecord Public Dumps User / Customer Info

    Well that's concerning. I like FraudRecord in theory and on paper but @harzem needs to step it up and make it worthwhile. Instead of sending unwanted promotional emails ( ) he could instead charge a reasonable fee for the service assuming it gets hardened and implements features others have...

    Raspberry Pi 2

    ZebraCase: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M6G9YBM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Made in the USA. The parts are nice and solid. Well reviewed whereas other similar (in appearance) cases were said to be brittle. This one seems tough enough to survive a fall or three off my desk...

    Raspberry Pi 2

    How about some quick RPI porn for ya? Got a case and new WiFi adapter today... Case is really good quality, I like it! I'm going to mount this on my wall with some other stuff eventually so I like how it has the mount holes already. I actually bought some cheap heatsinks that will come...

    How to sell more VPS Servers

    Please don't start threads with 24pt font text :P I edited it to make it normal. Have you tried your local market? Unsure how things are there, but here local businesses are the ones who aren't running around message forums looking for the cheapest of the cheap. They have money and will pay it...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    There is a 4.3" screen in the black box, connected to a 5.8Ghz receiver for video feed. My quadcopter has a little Sony CCD camera board like the one shown below that is wired to a transmitter. This allows me to fly and navigate the quadcopter based on 'what it sees' instead of my direct line...

    Home networking setup help. Using RaspberryPi to bridge wifi to network switch.

    Calling it quits for the night. I can't for the life of me seem to figure out what is going wrong or what on my end is preventing this from working. On a clean install I did: Connect to Pi via VNC. Connected to WiFi. Installed bridge-utils Confirmed /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf...

    Home networking setup help. Using RaspberryPi to bridge wifi to network switch.

    I've just reinstalled it again. Even with serial console I'm going to have to revert changes made and it's probably easier/faster/less frustrating to instead just start with a clean slate. What I love about CrunchBang, LinuxMint, Ubunutu and even Debian as a desktop OS is I can complete what I...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    These goggles are hilarious. I need to cut all the wires to length and resolder the connections and cut off some of that wire weight. I'm not even going to attempt to mount a battery to this beast and will be alright with keeping it in a shirt or jacket pocket. Talk about ghetto:

    Home networking setup help. Using RaspberryPi to bridge wifi to network switch.

    I have attempted this earlier when following a couple guides, seemingly I am an idiot and kill all networking when restarting the network service on the Pi and make it inaccessible via SSH so I re-install and try again. (Headless install) But at the risk of feeling ashamed of my ignorance of...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    I won't let this thread die. I did this earlier on my lunch break. Got a new 1.8mm lense in the mail today for a CCD camera. Put it on my little Sony 700TVL CCD camera on my quadcopter that I use for FPV. I like the results! Stock wideangle lense: New fisheye lense: And yes, that is my...

    Raspberry Pi 2

    Well... botched the network config on the Pi when trying to setup this... http://hackhappy.org/uncategorized/how-to-use-a-raspberry-pi-to-create-a-wireless-to-wired-network-bridge/ I'm not a smart man. Anyhow, starting fresh and doing a reinstall. :O

    The gun thread

    That's what I thought, but wanted to make sure. Looks nice. I'm wanting to build an AR10 later this year... but I also want a lot of other stuff too... so we'll see. It's been a very long time since I've shot a 308 but want to build a long-range beast :) BTW, what sort of wait time was there...

    308? Hard to tell from the photo.

    GreenValueHost, turning a new page!

    LOL. A few of us offsite were poking fun at that very same offer just an hour or two ago. This week, it's "new sustainable business model." Next month, "We've introduced Amsterdam again!" Following month, "We're discontinuing Amsterdam, but putting you on non-shitty hardware in Buffalo!"...
