Hello,

a Lemmy community member told me about uBlacklist.

Personally, I don't want to block any pages from search results because I (think that I) might miss important information from search results. On the other hand, I noticed that my "unfiltered" search results on Google or Bing are really bad. I pay for Kagi.com currently.

So, how is your experience? Which lists can you recommend? How does it affect your search experience with Google, Bing or any other search engine?

Hello,

I'm into microcontrollers and programming and would love to send my own small cube satellite into space (one day).

But there are a few things I have zero experience with, and these are:

• When the satellite is in space, it needs to correct its position to always point the camera on earth
• During launch of the rocket my cube sat needs to be as robust as possible
• I can not manufacture the case myself
• Power supply + battery
• Providing in-orbit (OTA) updates - This needs to be bullet-proof working
• Space RF communication protocols and best-use technologies - I need to read about it more
• Software security best practices in orbit
• Suitable ground station hardware
• Which deployment orbit
• Deployment mechanism
• Radiation-hardened MCUs and SBCs - Which models? I just know consumer models like ESP32, STM, Raspberry Pico, Arduino, etc.

Can you recommend a good read on that? A book or pdf? Is there anyone with experience?

(This project is btw on my bucket list before I die, it's not urgent though)

Best,

Hey,

my phone plan (free plan) allows surfing the web for free but with very slow speeds between 32 kbps and 64 kbps. Safari would not load pages and just display website is not reachable due to a timeout. So, I came up with the idea to build a frugal text browser with some nice features that works with my phone plan.

I can disable loading images, media or web fonts. I can set an ad blocking DNS. I can even use LLMs with my slow connection. In settings you can set your own LLM base url and api key. In an emergency situation this is amazing!

I hope other people enjoy it as much as I do. It's completely free.

The app is called Narrow32, search in App Store :)

Btw: The community guided me to !imadethis@lemmy.zip

Hello,

I built an iOS app (got approved by Apple today) using Swift. The app uses native iOS Swift libraries. What is the best approach to port my app to Android?

Hey,

I know it sucks to rely on cloud services but it is what it is. I use Apple iCloud, Bitwarden and GitHub.

Technically, I could self-host all three but I want my backups not at my place or at least have them in both places cloud/at home.

I do have two spare Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and one small computer with an old i5 / 8 GB RAM.

What do you personally self-host?

Hi,

I'm currently working on multiple apps/projects and would like to show them to the world. Which community can I use on lemmy?

Hi,

this is my first post on lemmy and I couldn't find another community that fits better for posting this project.

I saw this idea somewhere else and I wanted to build it for myself because I was fascinated by it. So I did. You can enter your nick name, a message (optional email address and image) and send it to me. It will print immediately and I will see your message. There's also an easter egg that you can discover. :)

I am using a Phomemo M02 Pro thermal printer. Made with Python (printer communication via bleak, phomemo_printer, PIL) and Node/Express.js. With my Python script I poll the data from the backend to print.

The messages I already got are so funny and positive haha. I think I will cut them all out and scan them.

EDIT: I just woke up and saw all the messages. Thank you so much :)

EDIT2: I got a few messages that made me smile. Very original. Positive messages from all around the world. Since I got almost 200 messages and over 30 images, I think I will pick the most original and funny ones and post here an update

EDIT3: I got a few messages saying that I should hook up a web cam and stream it. I'm thinking about it but since I'm moving to a new place, I think I'm going to do afterwards. Also I'd need something like this: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Soldering-Accessories-Helping-Jewellery-Workshop/dp/B0BHVJSRRN that I can order when I'm at my new place to place the Raspberry Pi Zero with the camera (OV3660) into the right position for streaming.
