Der Raspberry Pi 5 als Weekendprojekt II

Ich liebe es, wenn’s funktioniert! Ja, okay, so lange wollte ich da heute gar nicht dran sitzen … Aber wenn es die ersten Erfolge gibt, dann bleibt man ja auch am Ball, gell? Ich weiß auch noch nicht, wie das passiert ist, aber irgendwie ergab eine Schraube die nächste und ein Befehl den folgenden. Außerdem, irgendwie muss man ja dem Sonntagsblues begegnen 😉   Übersicht im Blog verloren? Hier…

I think the comparison here is faulty because most technology doesn't need to last for decades and decades. There's not many things from the 70s I'd really want now (technology having gotten better in the meantime). And if you don't need to make it last 50 years, why pay extra to make it so?

A robot body designed to last decades could do so; you're running a ton of risk of parts going out of production or software being abandoned or what have you, but I do think the cost curve isn't as grim as grim as you're stating.

The other advantage is that all bio healthcare requires working with whatever shitty self-repair system you have. You can't hot swap parts, you have to provide one of a million upstream resources and hope the assholes on repair can deal with it without side effects.

everyone talks about the superiority of the machine and how having a robot body would be awesome but when i think about it i dont know of a single machine (least of all one complex enough to be worth being embodied in) that can last more than 20 years, let alone 80 or 90.

like, think about it, we humans spend quite a lot of time outside being exposed to humidity, pollen, dirt, grease and acidity from other people.

we move in a way prone to bumps and scratches. we trip one time and fall to the ground we would risk breaking potentially vital components like our hard drives or any screens we might need to use. our hinges would get worn down really fast due to material fatigue, our inner components would get corroded and really how easy would it be to replace all of that. we complain about how expensive healthcare is but i dont think it would be all that much better when it comes to buying replacement pieces or fixing our chasis or whatever. at least our bio body can fix itself for most minor wounds and such.

one might want to go one step above that and say "well it doesnt matter, my conciousness would be software and hosted online and therefore safe from all physical harm" but have you read the short story Lena by qntm? youd be exposed to being hacked, copied a million times, locked inside emulations of heaven or hell, suddenly the processes that codify your soul are not safely locked inside an unhackable brain, they are on the internet for the entire world to access and fuck with.

so yeah, think twice

A

Aftercare—What does he do?

Though you may want to help, he doesn't let you.

He prefers that his princess lay down as he cleans up you and him.

“Kanato, I can clean up myself.” You’d say, pushing yourself up to get up in bed only for him to stop you.

“No, I want my princess to relax.” He’d hush, pushing you back on his bed gently.

You can expect kisses to the forehead or on your hairline when he’s cleaning up.

Afterward, he may lay down with you naked and cuddle with pillow talk.

He mostly faces you, admires your facial and body features, and traces your skin.

He'll push your hair out of your face, brush his fingers on your lips, caress your cheek, and look into your eyes.

Sometimes, he will run a bath, which can lead to sex as well. He can’t resist once he’s helping you clean in the tub.

Especially if your heart skips a beat when he touches you, or you shudder/whimper at him touching you.

But even if it doesn’t lead to sex, you can expect him to kiss you in the tub.

Other times, if you have fallen asleep, he just admires you and puts a blanket on you, and does his own thing in his room.

One time, you woke up, still very exhausted, to him eating raspberry pudding on the bed on a silver tray.

You noticed this and sat up in the bed and stared at him, “How can you be eating?” You’d question, your lips parted with confusion.

He’d chuckle seeing your bedhead, which he deemed cute, “I like to have dessert after my meal sometimes.” He'd say nonchalantly, making you shake your head at his attempt to tease you.

“Aren’t you tired?” You’d ask, wondering where he gets all his energy from. 

He’d shake his head ���no’, “Are you?”

You’d sigh, “I’m exhausted,” before slumping back down on the pillows of your bed.

Putting his dessert tray aside on a table, he climbed closer to you on the bed. “To the point where you’d expose yourself so freely to me?” He’d tease, with a smirk across his face, as he admired the view you gave him of your exposed chest. 

Anal—Is he into it?

No, he's not into it. He prefers things more on the elegant side, and he's not into something grotesque. He likes nasty things, but just not this. It's not exactly what princesses get as treatment.

B

Boobs or Butt—What does he prefer?

Boobs, they are delicate and soft.

There are a lot of cute things that accentuate them, like all kinds of lacy and frilly bras, corsets, bustiers, etc. Even just simple ribbons on your boobs

He especially loves it when you wear clothes he designed or even teddies, especially those--because it’s just straps on your body covering your most private parts.

So he sometimes personally designs you teddies or something he wants you to wear to bed.

And he generally focuses more on the top of the outfit more than anything since he prefers your boobs over your butt.

He probably doesn’t want too much boob, but just a nice set of boobs. But tiny boobs are probably preferred, given that he likes dolls.

He loves watching your nipples go hard when he trails kisses or sucks/ licks your chest.

Also loves it when he feels you get goosebumps from his kisses.

Kanato likes it when you arch your back, too because he’s not only the cause of it but also gets to see your boobs.

Even before removing your clothes, when he makes out with you or sucks your blood, he’s got a hold on your boob.

Body part—Favorite body part?

Not your boobs but an area that is much more private and specific--your vagina

I know it sounds crazy but your crotch area is his favorite place to touch and grab

He really likes the reactions he can get out of you when he’s rubbing your folds or more.

It’s also the most delicate part of you which you only have so much control of

And he just loves how he can easily manipulate you when toying with you there.

Boner—What got him to this?

It’s a bit more difficult than you think, but what can really set him off is the way you eat a piece of cake.

Or have a doe-eyed expression when he says something overly sexual to you.

The sounds you make really get him hard like a whimper, yelp, or even just the sound of you struggling and whining in his control. And surprised gasps when he picks you up to carry you to the bed.

He will not hide his erection from you, but he won’t flat up tell you he’s hard.

You’ll either feel his bulge against the back of you or notice/feel when he guides your hand towards his crotch as he’s kissing your neck or whispering in your ear. “I’ve missed you.”

He has no shame in it and expects that you participate in helping him. No matter how busy or shy you might be.

C

Crotch—Things relating to your crotch

Really loves to touch you here as I’ve said.

Even though it’s considered a wardrobe malfunction he loves any clothes that accidentally highlight your crotch. But only that he’d notice, he would not want others to see.

He really loves seeing it though, it would get him going. And he’d bring it up later.

The best part is if you whimper or moan by his touch or hold on you.

He loves putting a hand there when he’s making out with you or even biting you.

And you can best believe he always has a hand up in your skirt.

Cum—Things relating cum

You cum more than he does because he toys with you in more ways than one.

He loves that he’s the cause of it and that there is a lot.

But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have plenty to give.

He may be short but he’s not short of having the capability of producing.

Contraceptives—Any protection?

Probably not. If you are, it’s the pill because he wants you to feel his length.

If you can’t get pregnant for whatever reason he’s not worried about protection.

He probably doesn’t want babies but if he’s with his partner who means everything to him and like she is the one.

Then yes, he's not opposed to a baby but he has to be really into his girl.

It’s mostly cause he likes the idea of pregnancy but not so much the baby.

But if you’re important to him then he’ll want the baby as well.

D

Duration—How long is one session itself? Are there rounds?

Being small doesn’t mean anything.

He lasts about 8~10 mins each session.

But it feels even longer with him because he does so much.

Sometimes he’s done 13mins for a session.

In terms of rounds it sorta depends he’ll do at least 2 but usually does like 3~4 rounds.

The time in each session may vary tho.

He makes sure that he’s left you shaking and exhausted to the point where you can’t walk.

You’ll need help from him just to walk to your room. Otherwise, you’ll be stumbling.

Because he does many rounds your time with him can seem lengthy so you may or may not be able to keep up with him. 

Especially as a human, so it’s not surprising if you’ve told him that you don’t think you can go for another round.

Sometimes you’ve assumed he’s done too and he just smirks, “Already done? I just started. I think you can hold on a little more, no, can’t you?”

Your faint mumbles as a response have him amused to the core as he continues and “claims” to be gentle to have you last.

Denial/Dirty secret—Something they won’t admit or a sexual fantasy they won’t share?

He isn’t shy about you giving him pleasure but he wouldn't admit with words 100% how it feels. He’ll be vocal but he won’t say “it feels so good”.

He’d be into food play possibly but he has mixed feelings about it. It would take him a while to bring this to your attention.

I think there have been clues about it before and he could’ve dropped hints but you may have never noticed.

I mean given the way he uses his tongue it’s not surprising if he wanted food to go along with his other food.

Another dirty secret would be that if you are/were in a relationship with one of his brothers he’d love to hear you compare or how they don’t make you feel as good.

Degradation/Dirty talk—Into either one or both? How is this done?

No, no degrading maybe to a bride or doll he doesn’t care for, but for someone he considers special, no.

Usually, when he has sex it’s with a woman he has a genuine interest in, especially when he continues to see her.

I think it’s evident that Kanato loves women and, more specifically, their physical features (hence the doll room and all). If loved and cared for a specific woman, one that he has a high interest in, he’d want to treat her like a princess.

As for dirty talk, not really. He doesn’t say very much, but he will occasionally tease you based on how you react to things he does. Like if you bucked your hips forward he will claim your impatient and needy. Or if you initiate it all by sliding down the straps of his suspenders or unbuttoning his shirt. He’ll find it amusing to say, “I’ll let you be in charge since you’ve missed me.”

E

Experience—Have they done it before?

Plenty of it. It may seem like he wouldn’t but actually in the games he has sex the most out of his brothers tbh. And if you notice he’s more sexual/sensual than you’d imagine. Just read the game translations and manga, you’ll see what I mean.

Bc ain’t no one getting laid as much as this man.

With his experience, I’m sure he’d teach his lover things whether or not she has experience. 

If you were or are in a relationship with one of his brothers, he likes it that you enjoy your time with him more and that it’s allowed you to become better/learn new things.

He’s amused if he learns that his brother or even an ex-partner hasn’t had you explore all that he has.

“And so what have I taught you, my love?” He’d ask, bringing your hand to his lips for him to plant kisses on your knuckles.

F

Fingering—Will they do it? How often? How many fingers?

Quiet often, but less often than his mouth. But he enjoys the hands-on approach of three fingers if possible.

He usually just rubs your area as a tease and for punishment. But if he’s really looking forward to seeing you being pleasured and moaning for him, he likes to finger.

Mostly does it when you are very distracted by other actions he’s doing so that when he slips his fingers in you’ll gasp for sure.

Kanato especially loves it if you try to close your legs to prevent him from continuing because the feeling is too much for you. Or even if you try to shove his hand away or hold onto his wrist for support if you’re telling him to stop.

He’ll remind you to say “please” if you really want him to withdraw. Although sometimes he ignores you, “Just a few more minutes, my doll.”

Fangs—Does he bite you? How often does he use it? Where else does he use his teeth?

It depends, a bride he'd bite for sure.

But one he truly loves and adores, he’d never think about puncturing her skin. Unless she willingly offered and he was desperate, then he may do it.

He may mark her but he’d never bite her for blood, at least not usually. He has other resources for that. And he likes it more if your skin remains pure.

You may feel his teeth when he gives oral or when he’s kissing you though. It would be a small graze or playful nibble, nothing too drastic.

G

Generosity—Are they a giver or a receiver? Or both? Why?

Giver, if there’s one thing you should know is that he spoils the woman he loves.

He likes to receive, but it's quite rare; he really finds himself to be more content when he is giving.

If he doesn’t care about the woman, he’d like to receive rather than give because he doesn’t find her worthy to be pleasured.

H

Hair—How well groomed? Is he okay with body hair?

The less, the better. That goes for both of you.

Although he will allow some minor hair growth on that particular area he’d expect that it is trimmed down and not a mess.

Hickies—Where does he leave marks? Is he okay with being marked?

If you tell him to keep it secret, he will do his best but occasionally bends the rules.

If it doesn’t matter, then he will do as he pleases. And it ranges a lot. It can be the nape of your neck, collarbone, in between your chest, inner thighs, inner side of the knees, calves, and/or ankles. Sometimes he does it on your hips, and above the area of your abdomen which meets the band of your underwear.

And he only lets a woman that means something to him mark him, he loves it if you leave some on his jawline or neck, trailing down to his chest.

His marks on you look quite painful as they are a little large, given how much time he spends on them.

I

Intimate—Is it rough, dirty or sweet?

Rough and definitely on the dirty side, even if what he calls you is always something sweet.

He’s very sensual when he’s not being rough.

This is the only time he’s mean or unfair with you.

Ignorant—Are they able to tell if their partner is giving signals?

Yes, he’s very sharp. The question is will you be able to sense his signals since he usually isn’t very direct?

This man is like the king of eye fucking.

You need to pay attention to his eye contact with you, and his subtle touches or whispers in your ear. 

He likes to keep you guessing.

J

Jerk off—Are they the type?

No, you are enough for him. And he’d wait, because he can keep that energy he’s been saving and put it all on you.

Although if you are the type to touch yourself, he’d be interested to watch or to command you. 

He’d be prone to be watching a chick he doesn’t care for do it.

For a woman he’s truly into he may or may not be into this activity because it’s not super delicate. Though if you allow him to control the situation he probably wouldn’t be opposed to it.

If he walked in on this he may ask you why you didn’t ask for his help and then intervene an help you.

K

Kinks—What are some main kinks they have?

Eye contact--loves to hold eye contact with you, no matter what. Especially, when you’re about to orgasm.

Dominant/Submissive--He’d like to have a submissive partner who occasionally gets dominant with him or at least tries to dominate him.

Pregnancy kink--He likes seeing his lover become pregnant. It's just something about your presence that really turns him on. Perhaps with a vampire baby, there is a change to your aura that makes you more attractive.

Breeding kink--same thing as before, he likes the idea that you could become pregnant even if it is especially difficult for you to become pregnant. 

Sadism--psychological humiliation. He just likes being able to read your thoughts or just guessing what you feeling and knowing he’s right. So you can imagine he will say that you are into something while you’re heavily consumed by pleasure and too bothered to deny him. Or even if you do, it's a weak defense to which he thrives off of. He loves doing anything that makes you weak for him.

Praise kink--Kanato likes to remind his lover how mesmerizing she is. After all he is quite picky so, you’re rather pretty.

Forced orgasms--if you read further down you will see what I mean. He really likes messing with you.

Incoherent speech--Really likes it if you cannot finish your sentences during sex with him. Since this basically means that he’s a distraction.

Tears—While this is somewhat of a turn-on for him when his lover is a little emotional, this can easily become a turn-off as well. He likes a vulnerability but not to the point where she breaks down into tears. But if she gets teary because him penetrating, he’s into it.

L

Lighting—Lights or no lights?

Lights on, whether you are ashamed or not, he does not care. You are not hiding from him, he wants to see every square inch of you.

Although he likes to have sex late evening or night so the moonlight is his friend.

Location—Have a post right here

M

Motivation—Turn-ons

A sad expression or a huff from you

Humming--loves a good voice on a woman. Something delicate and fragile for sure.

Twirling of hair--if you do this or just move your hair out of your face he’s really into that, especially if you have a focused expression.

Bashful eyes--A girl who batts her eyes but not on purpose. Or even just averting her eyes because she’s not one for attention.

Giggle and hand over your mouth

Hair coming undone

Honesty--he hates a women who lie, generally, so if your was honest about what you want and how he makes you feel he’d very much like that.

Dominating him--fucking loves it

Eagerness--loves it if your eager or in a rush to have sex because he tells you there’s no need to hurry, but he also just likes it that you want to be intimate with him.

Walk--if you have an elegant walk of some sort he’d be really intrigued to see you walk.

Whimpers--he gets off to these sounds that you make.

Vulnerable--he loves a vulnerable girl

N

Nudes—Are they the type to send them/ask for them?

Neither one tbh. Why would he do that when he can get the real thing?

No—Turn offs

Doing something that’s not delicate

Taking too much control

Body hair

Needy—he’s okay with being a little needy but not too much.

Toys—he prefers to use his hands and mouth as tools to pleasure you.

Touching him/overstimulating him

Faking an orgasm—don’t you dare.

Babying him

Trying to humiliate him

O

Orgasms—How often do they do it? Is it before or after their partner?

Often but probably not as often as you. Even if you’re not the type to cum so easily, you are now. He always cums after his partner.

With Kanato you may even cum 5~8 times in a night.

Technically a woman can have like 20 orgasms.

Orgasm Denial/Overstimulation—Into it? If so, how often? Is it done to them or done to their s/o?

Yes, this is like one of his favorite things to do to you. This is like all the time.

It is done to you with no questions asked.

He also loves to give you forced orgasms in the sense that you cum earlier then what you’d like because he forces you to reach your high faster with all that he’s doing.

Even if you want to last longer he just wants to humiliate you and see you combust faster because of him. Which he also likes to point out after you two have finished.

Likes ruined orgasm where you orgasm but not to the extent where you feel satisfied.

He just loves teasing you to no end.

Oral—Giving or Receiving? How often?

Giving, he’s all about the giving.

This is like his favorite thing to do to see you shake and get vocal for him.

When he was first having sex with you he didn’t introduce it. It was out of random.

You were both in bed in the morning, exhausted from last nights fun. And you both were talking about certain things and you sat up on the bed with a night gown on (you slipped on after sex that night) and your legs spread apart from you as they were bent up. Kanato was at the end of the bed exchanging conversation but it got silent when he was admiring you and inched closer to the bed where your feet were at.

You furrowed a brow but stilled at him, “what are you doing?” You’d giggle.

He’d look up with his eyes, planting a soft kiss on your ankle and foot. He then grabbed a hold of your feet gently by the ankles and spread your legs wider apart, causing your dress to ride up a bit.

“Kanato!” You gasped in a whisper, remembering that you still didn’t have any underwear on and that you were exposed to him in full. 

He locked eyes with you, his hands wrapped around your calves holding them as he inched down closer to you. “Shhh, it’s fine.” He’d say, you stuttered and mumbled out his name as you tried backing away, not sure of what to do. Before you knew it, he had lowered his head down and teased you with his mouth, causing you to gasp and whimper. 

You of course tried to be still at this new activity which seemed to be enjoyable but for the most part, you were in too much shock since he never talked about doing this and just instead went for it.

He’d pull away slightly to tell you not to close your eyes either. Mostly cause he can sense that as a vampire.

“I want you to tell me how it makes you feel.”

P

Pace—Are they fast and rough or slow and sensual?

Typically slow and sensual, but he can also be rough.

He wouldn’t really be into speed too much because he likes to take his time.

Position—What’s their favorite and most used?

Missionary—because he’s in charge and he can have eye contact with you the entire time.

He doesn’t let you ride him, at least not in the sense that you have control. It would be where he has full control of your body movements and guides you through the whole thing.

He likes this position because he’s a fan of your boobs but he doesn’t use this too often.

Polygamy—Would they have a threesome+?

No, not even with one of his brothers involved. He likes to have you all to himself.

However, if you are in fact seeing one of his brothers whether by force or by will, he doesn’t mind having a sexual relationship with you. I mean if you pique his interest enough, he’ll take it.

Q

Quirks—Something they do that you have to deal with?

Bringing up what you two did in bed together just to have you blush.

“Kanato, enough.” You’d argue, trying to hold back a smile due to your embarrassment.

Surprising you with different things without telling you.

Would screw you with socks on.

He hides your clothes and has you looking for them, for ages till you suspect he has it and you go to him. It’s an excuse for him to see you again and for him to spend time with you. He loves taking something of your lingerie set or even just like a dress or skirt of yours. Even something like a hairpin. It’s that simple. Mostly takes the smaller items bc it isn’t as obvious, and he has plenty of fun when you interrogate him about it.

Loves it, especially when you barge into his chambers, asking him where he’s hiding your things.

“Is it so valuable to you that you need it so badly, my doll?”

“Kanato, this isn’t funny. I really would like to find it.” You’d look at him with your arms crossed with a small pout. 

Quickie—Are they okay with them, or do they only want a full session?

Full sessions only. Unless you said you needed one. But he’ll probably just make you wait. Or he’ll pleasure you a little with just his fingers or mouth and not the rest.

R

Risk—Willing to try something new or open to getting caught?

Yes, he doesn’t care if you two get caught, but if you do, then he cares. And he doesn’t mind trying something new; usually, he introduces something to you. But he doesn’t mind a request from his princess.

S

S/D—Sub or dom?

Dom—like all the way even when you’re riding him you're not in charge.

He has very rarely let you take the reins, only when he’s interested in what you have to show him, whether it’s something new or you request you get to switch places with him.

T

Talkative—Do they talk or have casual conversations with you?

Not during but after. Yes, it’s casual but still sensual.

He holds you in his arms, his fingers trace your skin, and he moves your hair away from your neck.

He whispers, for the most part to you, and sometimes he recites lovely poems to you, some of which are his own and dedicated to you.

Toys—Do they like/use them? On you or on themselves?

No, maybe a blindfold, but honestly, nothing.

Although he blindfolded you once, he had a lot of fun from your reactions. 

He may occasionally bring a blindfold on a special day or when he’s really feeling it.

U

Unfair—How do they tease? How often is it?

In some shape or form, he is always teasing. He loves it most to see blush on your cheeks.

He’ll always go over your sensitive areas with his fingers or mouth, and he does it so slow you get chills.

Is always asking you to tell him how it feels even though you’ll just shy away from admitting it.

V

Vocal/volume—How loud? Moans, groans, or whimpers? 

He’s not too loud but enough for you to hear. You are probably the same in that regard.

Possibly a little louder. Really loves whimpers and moans from you.

The pathetic cries get him rock-hard.

He is mostly a groaner + a moan or two. He’ll sometimes say your name.

W

Wildcard—Some special things they do specifically?

Spreads your legs further apart during your orgasm or just when you deny him something. To the point where it starts to hurt.

He loves testing your flexibility and the gasped expression you give.

He’ll speak to you in a romantic language or say things in his demon language.

Bites your knee.

X

X-ray—How big are they?

5.7 inches, just seemed like the right number

He’s not big because of his body proportions. 

However, I get the feeling he may be the biggest one out of the triplets. And Ayato cannot live with that.

Y

Yearning—Sex drive level

Really damn high. Have you seen how much he gets laid in the games?

You two have sex constantly, and it's mostly because he adores you.

Z

Zzz —Do they sleep after? What do they do?

Typically, he holds you in his arms and lays in bed with you.

Kisses your forehead and reminds you that you are important to him.

Would sing you to sleep. Or carry you into the bath with him.

WE GOT AN A+ ON THE HARDEST EXAM IN OUR EDUCATION!! 🩷

me and my twin sister did THAT!!

@akaicodes

yesterday, we had to take an individual written exam that is notoriously known in our education as the hardest exam to pass in.

its a mix between programming and technology. so 4-5 programming projects + some technology ones using python and a raspberry pi.

we’ve been studying EVERYDAY for the past 6 months for this exam. in my affirmations and visualizations, i’ve only wanted to get a B, because I deemed that the most realistic grade to get was that.

WE BOTH GOT A 12 (highest grade in the grade system) which equals to A+ in the US!!

only 5 people from our class got an A+ OUT OF 35 STUDENTS!

fun fact: i’ve NEVER got an A+ in my entire life. this is a huge mile stone for us.

studying works. doing coding projects works. subliminals & affirmations WORK.

now we only have an oral group exam left next week, and then we’ll be relaxing during the HOLIDAYYSSSS 💕

” HAVE A HORRIBLE LATE APRIL FOOL’S DAY B¡TCH >:D “ *she tossed about five pies at him and shot a little head from a BB gun before unicycling away and blowing a raspberry at him*

@ask-kala-the-hazbin

*He only manages to dodge three of the five pies, the other two landing RIGHT on his face and chest. The head shoots him right in the stomach, causing him to let out a loud, garggled grunt in pain. With a hand to his stomach, he flings a pie at the back of her head, growling loudly* "WHAT DA HELL'S WRONG WIT' YA, CLOWN ASS?!!"

New project: Pwnagotchi battery case for Waveshare UPS Hat

There are already plenty of cases for the most adorable ai ever out there, but most of them require an external power source. I wanted an integrated battery and since I had a Waveshare hat left from a different project I tried it as an alternative to the pi sugar. The case fits the following parts, stacked on top of each other: 1) Waveshare E-Ink Display pHAT 2.13 inch 2) Raspberry Pi Zero WH 3) Waveshare UPS Hat (C) The 1000 mAh battery gives aprox. 4 hours of runtime, afterwards you can either a) recharge the battery while the pi remains off b) recharge the battery while the pi is on (the hat supports pass through) c) plug your external power source directly into the pi and recharge the battery later. All ports are still accessible and I also added a wider loop to attach a molle style key fob.

Derad Network: The Crypto Project That's Taking Aviation to New Heights https://www.derad.net/

Hey Tumblr fam, let's talk about something wild: a blockchain project that's not just about making money, but about making the skies safer. Meet Derad Network, a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) that's using crypto magic to revolutionize how we track planes. If you're into tech, aviation, or just love seeing Web3 do cool stuff in the real world, this one's for you. Buckle up-here's the scoop.

What's Derad Network?

Picture this: every plane in the sky is constantly beaming out its location, speed, and altitude via something called ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast). It's like GPS for aircraft, way sharper than old-school radar. But here's the catch-those signals need ground stations to catch them, and there aren't enough out there, especially in remote spots like mountains or over the ocean. That's where Derad Network swoops in.

Instead of waiting for some big corporation or government to build more stations, Derad says,"Why not let anyone do it?" They've built a decentralized network where regular people-you, me, your neighbor with a Raspberry Pi-can host ADS-B stations or process flight data and get paid in DRD tokens. It's a community-powered vibe that fills the gaps in flight tracking, making flying safer and giving us all a piece of the action. Oh, and it's all locked down with blockchain, so the data's legit and tamper-proof. Cool, right?

How It Actually Works

Derad's setup is super approachable, which is why I'm obsessed. There are two ways to jump in:

Ground Stations: Got a corner of your room and a decent Wi-Fi signal? You can set up an ADS-B ground station with some affordable gear-like a software-defined radio (SDR) antenna and a little computer setup. These stations grab signals from planes flying overhead, collecting stuff like "this Boeing 737 is at 30,000 feet going 500 mph." You send that data to the network and boom, DRD tokens hit your wallet. It's like mining crypto, but instead of solving math puzzles, you're helping pilots stay safe.

Data Nodes: Not into hardware? You can still play. Run a data processing node on your laptop or whatever spare device you've got lying around. These nodes take the raw info from ground stations, clean it up, and make it useful for whoever needs it-like airlines or air traffic nerds. You get DRD for that too. It's a chill way to join without needing to turn your place into a tech lab.

All this data flows into a blockchain (Layer 1, for the tech heads), keeping it secure and transparent. Derad's even eyeing permanent storage with Arweave, so nothing gets lost. Then, companies or regulators can buy that data with DRD through a marketplace. It's a whole ecosystem where we're the backbone, and I'm here for it.

DRD Tokens: Crypto with a Purpose

The DRD token is the star of the show. You earn it by hosting a station or running a node, and businesses use it to grab the flight data they need. It's not just some random coin to trade—it's got real juice because it's tied to a legit use case.The more people join, the more data flows, and the more DRD gets moving. It's crypto with a mission, and that's the kind of energy I vibe with.

Why This Matters (Especially forAviation Geeks)

Okay, let's get real-flying's already pretty safe, but it's not perfect. Radar's great, but it's blind in tons of places, like over the Pacific or in the middle of nowhere. ADS-B fixes that, but only if there are enough stations to catch the signals.Derad's like, "Let's crowdsource this." Here's why it's a game-changer:

Safer Skies: More stations = better tracking. That means fewer chances of planes bumping into each other (yikes) and faster help if something goes wrong.

Cheaper Than Big Tech: Building centralized stations costs a fortune. Derad's DIY approach saves cash and spreads the love to smaller players like regional airlines or even drone companies.

Regulators Love It: Blockchain makes everything transparent. Airspace rules getting broken? It's logged forever, no shady cover-ups.

Regulators Love It: Blockchain makes everything transparent. Airspace rules getting broken? It's logged forever, no shady cover-ups.

Logistics Glow-Up: Airlines can plan better routes, save fuel, and track packages like champs, all thanks to this decentralized data stash.

And get this-they're not stopping at planes.Derad's teasing plans to tackle maritime tracking with AlS (think ships instead of wings). This could be huge.

Where It's Headed

Derad's still in its early ascent, but the flight plan's stacked. They're aiming for 10,000 ground stations worldwide (imagine the coverage!), launching cheap antenna kits to get more people in, and dropping "Ground Station as a Service" (GSS) so even newbies can join. The Mainnet XL launch is coming to crank up the scale, and they're teaming up with SDR makers and Layer 2 blockchains to keep it smooth and speedy.

The wildest part? They want a full-on marketplace for radio signals-not just planes, but all kinds of real-time data. It's ambitious as hell, and I'm rooting for it.

Why Tumblr Should Stan Derad

This isn't just for crypto bros or plane spotters-it's for anyone who loves seeing tech solve real problems. Derad's got that DIY spirit Tumblr thrives on: take something niche (flight data), flip it into a community project, and make it matter.The DRD token's got legs because it's useful, not just a gamble. It's like catching a band before they blow up.

The Rough Patches

No flight's turbulence-free. Aviation's got rules out the wazoo, and regulators might side-eye a decentralized setup. Scaling to thousands of stations needs hardware and hype, which isn't instant. Other DePIN projects or big aviation players could try to muscle in too. But Derad's got a unique angle-community power and a solid mission—so I'm betting it'll hold its own.

Final Boarding Call

Derad Network's the kind of project that gets me hyped. It's crypto with soul, turning us into the heroes who keep planes safe while sticking it to centralized gatekeepers. Whether you're a tech geek, a crypto stan, or just someone who loves a good underdog story, this is worth watching.

Derad's taking off, and I'm strapped in for the ride.What about you?

GUESS WHO FOUND AN ORGAN FOREVER AGO?

Found an organ (psure it's an AceTone B-422) on the side of the road one day while some guy was clearing out his dad's house, and managed to get this organ for free. Dude said he didn't get a chance to try it out, nabbed it anyway and stuffed it in my room.

Turns out, it doesn't work.

Turns out, it has a bunch of built in features that DO work.

There's a built in vibrato, a built in reverb, a built in Rhythm Ace Drum Machine, and a God Damn Leslie-branded rotary speaker built in. The drum machine, speaker, and rotary speaker all for sure work, and since it's a 60s organ that reverb is pmuch guaranteed to be a spring tank, which is easy to repurpose. The vibrato would be cool to mess with, too. Lastly, there's a "Brilliance" switch which I'm really curious about.

As for the rest of the organ, I have a bunch of options:

1. I rip out all the keys, replace them with modern midi controllers, and turn the whole thing into a custom recording station. Problem is, the two keyboards are 44 keys each, which is pretty rare for midi controllers. They're also bigger keys than normal, so maybe there's a way to make them work, but that also makes the depth of the keys an issue I'll have to tackle. It also means the 13 bass pedals would be useless.

2. I get 1-4 Arduino boards, and rewire the keyboards so I have 2 44-key controllers, 13-pedal controller, and if I wanna get crazy with it the swell pedal and whatever other knobs I want for midi controls. Problem is, I know nothing about Arduino or digital midi, and I'm already diving headfirst into several unfamiliar disciplines for this project as is. DOUBLE problem is, from what I can tell it would be difficult if not impossible to make the original keybeds velocity sensitive. Triple problem is, if I do decide to toss the key beds, I can't go back and Arduino it up later. I'm not gonna be able to hold onto those parts, and there's no way I could justify having a whole second house organ just to reattempt it.

3. I cut my losses, rip out the relevant electronics, and toss the rest

If I go with either of the first two (read: fun) options, it's also worth considering all the space around the keys, where I can theoretically add whatever. I've tossed around the idea of putting a 2x4 group of drum pads, maybe some knobs or even a ribbon controller somewhere. I could even put a screen there, either with real time feedback or built in synths or digital effects (maybe a raspberry pi or small computer affordable to run soundfonts or even VSTi's natively; imagine having a DIY touch screen with drawbars next to the keyboard to adjust settings, that'd be sick)

And none of that takes into consideration the multitude of cosmetic modification options possible; Paint, veneer, upholstery, LEDs, lights, VU meters, metalwork, leather, the list goes on.

I've got a bunch of ideas and I'm in the process of getting the tools together to move forward with this project.

I'm sure I can also upgrade stuff in the future.

But I'm seriously considering turning this thing into the ultimate keyboard performance desk, both for YouTube stuff as well as live (since, theoretically, it'll be a LOT lighter once the speakers and motor(s) are pulled out)

If anyone has experience with doing any of this sort of thing, I'd love to pick your brains for more info on all this stuff. Working on researching for a YouTube video about the project, including a history of the Ace Tone company that made it (with probably too much emphasis on it being founded by the same dude who founded Roland several years later).

It's a big project, but I think it'd be worth it. I'm more excited about this than I have been about virtually anything else in years.
