PublicDomainVic / Re: Paradisus Software
« Last post by publicdomain on Today at 02:45 PM »
In order to avoid confusion, the Paradisus Software project starts after the current batch of releases for the DC community is delivered (under this username).

The new domain name is already bought and the content management engine is in the making, for launch during the following weeks :Thmbsup:

So far the plan is to launch the new Paradisus Software project including requests from several sources, obviously from DC's coding snacks section, as well as other sites, such as Reddit and relevant software forums.

The Paradisus site as a whole is an extension of our motto for having a positive purpose. The software section is a part of a wider scope, including releases that go "beyond the monitor" (that is DIY projects such as 3D printing & electronics plus more on the technological side of things).

The goal is to assist humanity shift for the better (there is also a dimension of personal development, yet the sections are somewhat isolated into different "portals"). The web engine so far has "hubs", tags and other organizational means for the content.

While the homepage is a catch-all for the different aspects fellow users bring to the table with their posts, the tags aren't mixed e.g. when you are in the software portal, you get a listing of our software releases, not -say- a recipe for a natural toothpaste or a post with instructions for purifying water with activated charcoal on the fetched list of posts. That's the benefit of being tag-based :)

...The small public domain operation started in 2019 is morphing and expanding into a larger and very purposeful one, to help plenty of folks on our beloved planet Earth  :-*

March 2024 is a transformational month for us 🤗

Cheers!

You like the ZimaBoard 432?

It's a great little unit, plenty of power for something like pfsense, at the moment I've just been playing with it seeing what its native OS is like, I'd need to redo my networking a little before incorporating it running pfsense but I don't have the time right now.

CasaOS is a container management front-end based on Debian, got a lot going for it but I found it rather flakey so just installed DietPi along with Portainer.

Have also installed ProxMox on it and run pfsense through that but it didn't really leave enough resources for the other things I was looking at running, 8GB version would have been ok though.

You might want to look at the ZimaBlade, same sort of thing but cheaper because you add your own RAM, (DDR3 SO-SIMM).
Downside is only one Gbe port but decent Intel secondhand PCIe cards are easy to get if you don't already have them lying around.

Base model with 2 core CPU is only US$64 with the 4 core at US$96 - they're pre-order ATM - looking back this probably would have been a better choice for me since I have spare RAM I could have used and therefore bumped up on the CPU.

Btw, don't know if it's still applicable but a first order on a new account got me a 30% discount, so the 432+SATA Y cable was ~US$115.

Ping! :) If possible please elaborate as I'm home for the next days and totally willing to work for you & the community :Thmbsup:

... kindly express your idea on the integration: exactly what you have in mind as the resulting merged program functionality-wise
-publicdomain (March 09, 2024, 06:49 AM)

...I do have an idea based on your previous casual input, but it would be best if you write your ideas forward for all you want for the new program in a single/consolidated reply here

Thanks!

Looking for a small device that can act as a OPNSense router (with at least 3 ethernet connections for 2 ISPs and at least one large(r) POE switch. I saw reviews on the internet, which are mostly quite positive, especially the 8GByte RAM version. Only a few talk about the existence of a 4GByte version, not really a part of their review.

For the envisioned router needs, 4 GByte of RAM is more than enough for at least the coming 5 years.

It's been awhile so time for some gadgets:

Last time I was in the UK, (2022), I picked up a Samsung Gear 360 kit, (VR headset plus the camera), for the princely sum of £25 on eBay.
Wanted it for the cameraw which I've used while 4wding, works well.

Budi multifunction stick.
uSD storage and card reader, SIM storage and removal tool, USB-C to USB-C cable with USB-A, micro USB-B, and Lightning adaptors, plus a phone stand.

attach2.jpg

ZimaBoard 432, mid-range version. 4GB RAM, 32GB eMMC storage, 2 SATA ports, 2 Gbe ports, PCIe x2 slot, silent.
Thinking of plugging a WiFi 7 card in and using it for pfsense or OPNsense, depending on how good wifi support is.

Shown mounted on a 3D printed 'sled' for mounting in a rack, along with two 120GB SSDs, and a 4 port Gbe card.

Just recently, Akaso Brave4 action cam for upcoming trip, (4 cruises back-to-back, Sydney->New York, 67 days), comes with a load of mounting accessories.

attach4.jpg

VEEKTOMX 22.5W 10Ah Power Bank, wanted something a little smaller and lighter than my usual Romoss 74W 20Ah Power Bank with PD and QC.

attach5.jpg

LENCENT 65W Universal Travel Charger to keep things charged.

attach6.jpg

HGFRTEE 14" 4k portable IPS display, USB-C power/video input + mini-HDMI input, stero speakers

Flextail Zero Pump inflator/deflator.

Good luck, if anyone cares. ... Would still like to see it updated to more modern versions of Windows.

Hello & good day @kingguz! Please feel free to check the "Folderize" coding snack thread:


Folderize is supported, so feel free to request changes/improvements/fixes.

(BTW If it helps a fellow, it's an important scenario for sure :))

Cheers!

Hello Vic
I'd like the key to be pressed forever, no limit, the only way to stop it is to press the hotkey

Okay! So, your actual requirement is "- set infinite press".

(Key down on start, Key up on stop)

On the way! :Thmbsup:

Have never tried it as registered user, but it does have basic free option and seems to be able to check even sites without RSS.

- set infinite loop

Hello! The custom Hotkey feature is added, yet as I'm working on "set infinite loop", I wonder if you actually meant "limit infinite loop", as in stopping the loop automatically after a number of consecutive cycles.

[ Invalid Attachment ]

If possible, please elaborate a bit on it. I'm adding such a "Max. cycles" feature as well :)
