This was put together over a long period of time by my paragliding instructor and friend (former engineer for Canada’s space agency - still has a part he designed on the ISS on Canada’s robotic arm):

Loads of useful info and is updated fairly regularly.
Every time I click on a clickbait title and KNOW what’s coming (bullshit is what’s coming), and yet I do it anyway and get the expected result. Shame on me and that should teach me.
Twitter is a shining example of that.
I appreciate the precision AND pedantry of your response. Great, concise explanation of exactly what that term means.
A closed door is a happy door. That’s why when someone knocks, I never answer it.
Good - thought I was the only one who saw little value in following a person on Lemmy.
Who is your daddy, and what does he do.
The most millennial trait is posting screenshots of Tweets as memes. Bring your hate.
Nice typo in their propaganda. Couldn’t quite figure out contractions versus ownership.
Anytime I see “unlocking value,” I know that either a bot wrote it, or some MBA that’s selling widgets.
Better stated than mine.
This is why being "a good business leader" (not that I'm saying he was that either, since he failed at selling steaks and alcohol to Americans) does not equate to being able to run a country. It's almost the opposite. You lead a business, your responsibility is to run it as you see fit. You run a country, you have a responsibility to take into account the wants and needs of everyone, even the people you don't agree with.
And Veggietales (screenshot in the meme) is a Christian-themed show for a Christian audience.
"Cause it's fun."

Been enjoying these hike and fly videos in the UK by one of the FlyBubble gang. He’s done Scottish highlands and North Wales - very chill and well produced and good mix of hiking, nature, light alpinism, and PG with light gear.
Is “maintaining the integrity of the presidential election” even fall under the responsibilities of POTUS? Wouldn’t that be more of the judicial’s or legislative’s wheelhouse? If it’s not, doesn’t that completely invalidate Trump’s argument that he was acting under his presidential duties?
Antoine does it again. Guy is a beast.
Think this qualifies as the scariest speedflying video I've seen yet.
Great video on how to fix a bunch of zipper issues. Handy to have on hand for harness, rucksack, and concertina bag zipper problems. Implemented one of the fixes in the video (took less than a minute) and that fix is still going strong after a year.
Final results in for the red rocks wide open.
For personal projects, I've favored gandi.net for many years, but I'm trying to get a few candidates together for the organization I work for. Not a fan of GoDaddy, NetworkSolutions, or many of the all-in-one web host / registrar / app hosting / whateverelse sites.
Hoping there are a few modern alternatives out there that I haven't seen yet. We had all of our domains on Google Domains, but since they got bought by Squarespace, I'm surveying our options.
Looks like super lightweight, loads of pockets, and 70L total storage volume. Might be a good rival to the BV1.
Not a sailplane pilot, but thought this was pretty neat. Uses the airflow to push the wiper out to the end of the wing and then either a simple electric motor or a hand crank to bring it back towards the fuselage.
Have been fiddling with removing the brummels from my speed system and wanted a nice stopper knot for the larkshead to grab onto. Hope this benefits someone else.
Looks like none of the consumer-grade security cameras (Nest, Arvo, Ring, etc) support being able to embed the feed on a web page anymore. I think many of them never supported it, but looks like since Google bought Nest, they are slowly stripping features out of that one.
I'm looking to set up a security camera or two in a park-like area (it's a parking lot and landing area for a freeflight club), and am looking for something that checks the following boxes:
- Ideally, a solution that doesn't need an external computer (a full blown machine that's running software that might have to be restarted by a human on-site; a self-contained hardware device or rack mounted solution that would start all necessary services up after a power outage or other failure would be fine).
- Video would be ideal, but if there's something that would take snapshots every few seconds, that's acceptable.
- Stream (or photos) would need to be publicly-accessible. A webpage embed would be ideal, but not something where a whole bunch of people have to use a dedicated mobile app to access it.
I looked at some of Unifi's product offerings, but hard to tell if some combination of their cameras and routers would accomplish that. Anyone put something like this together recently and can recommend anything?
As a PG, this terrifies me, but looks like good stuff for sailplane pilots.
Product page is up for the new Scala 2 (looks like a high-C wing).
