Only $5! You really should. -

@nina_kali_nina 5.5 inches ?, the latest state of the art at the time for sure, i am being a bit ironic, but actually it had a small size.

@nina_kali_nina Trying to remember which town it was in Scotland that had a barometer next to a little lighthouse. It had been installed at some considerable expense when instruments like this were not common and fishermen would check it before committing to go out in their small boats. It was a potentially life-saving instrument for them.

@nina_kali_nina They are putting pressure on you.

@nina_kali_nina was it sales pressure that made you say this ? 😉

@nina_kali_nina you can also use one to measure the height of buildings in a variety of novel and creative ways https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/44215

My youngest dog likes to be carried around like a little baby. I accidentally trained him that certain behaviors lead to me picking him up and bringing him inside...so, now he does one or more of those things every day so I'll pick him up. He weighs 80 pounds.

Reading the World’s Smallest Hard Drive
You have a tiny twenty-year-old hard drive with a weird interface. How do you read it? If you’re [Will Whang], by reverse engineering, and building an interface board.
In many of our portable, mobile, and desktop computers, we’re used to solid-state storage. It’s fast and low power, and current supply-chain price hikes notwithstanding, affordable in the grand scheme of things. It wasn’t always this way though, a couple of decades ago a large flash drive was prohibitively expensive. Hard drive manufacturers did their best to fill the gap with tiny spinning-rust storage devices which led to the smallest of them all: the Toshiba MK4001MTD. It crammed 4 GB onto a 0.85″ platter, and could be found in a few devices such as high-end Nokia phones.
Breaking out the Nokia’s hard drive interface.
The drive’s connector is a pattern of pads on a flexible PCB, one he couldn’t help noticing had a striking resemblance to an obscure SD card variant. Hooking it up to an SD reader didn’t work unfortunately, so a battered Nokia was called into service. It was found to be using something electrically similar to the SD cards, but with the ATA protocol familiar from the world of full-size hard drives.The interface uses the PIO capability of the RP2040, and the board makes a tidy peripheral in itself. We’re guessing not many of you have one of these drives, but perhaps if you do, those early 2000s phone pics aren’t lost for good after all.
These drives are rare enough that this is the first time we’ve featured one here at Hackaday, but we’ve certainly ventured into hard drive technology before.

My two FTTC connections are down, so I'm currently on a slow 4G failover.
The instance was unreachable.
I quickly deployed nginx on an external host and set up a reverse proxy to my home network over 4G.
The instance is now reachable.
Profit.

@francina1909 non credo noterà la tua mancanza dato che ormai il 90% dei commenti che riceve sono offese 😂

@SnoopJ @arrjay I've said before that Poetry is king shit of failure in an ecosystem made of failure. Everything about packaging/deploying Python is poison, intentionally hostile to stability over time. I don't have strong feelings about Python, the language. It's fine...not my favorite, but it'll do. But, the ecosystem? The way Python devs view backward compatibility? Just hateful to people maintaining a lot of code that has to run on a variety of systems over many years.
