SD Mapper.

[markgee85]

This final sample of Eric Souther's TD Colorizer .tox shows the effect of the temporal mapper with a low rez star sky rotation time lapse video being the displacement map.

Note, even those the last two samples are SD rez, the Colorizer can handle up to 4K 60hz processing input / output.

ようするにこの症状だった pacman - 再起動後に "Unable to find root device" エラー - ArchWiki 手元の計算機では LVM を使っているので 「 /dev/mapper/main-root がマウントできない 」といったメッセージであり、上記メッセージとは異なるが、ようするに initramfs がルートファイルシステムをマウントできなかった。 最後に pacman -Syu したとき initramfs を作るろうとしてエラーになっていたんだが 「 initramfs なんぞそうそう更新することはないんだから 」と無視して reboot したら見事にダメでした。 たしかそのときのエラーは mkinitcpio が sd-lvm2 モジュールが無い mount.ceph が無い といったエラーを出していた。 sd-lvm2 や mount.ceph については /etc/mkinitcpio.conf の HOOKS に書かれている ( mkinitcpio - 通常のフック - ArchWiki) ものであり、 HOOKS に書かれているフックは mkinitcpio 実行時に initramfs に組み込まれるのだが、 これらがエラーとなり、 initramfs がおかしくなり(?) Arch Linux 起動時に initramfs が /dev/mapper/main-root をマウントできなくなったようだ。 sd-lvm2 についてはどうも名前が変わったらしく、 lvm2 と書くのが正しい。 自分で /etc/mkinitcpio.conf は書いたことがないので Arch Linux の誰かが sd-lvm2 から lvm2 へ変更しなかったか。 mount.ceph については HOOKS の filesystems が影響している。 mount.ceph という名前から分かるとおり ceph ファイルシステム ( Ceph - Wikipedia ) をマウントするためのコマンドである。 ceph ファイルシステムなんぞ使わんので filesystems から除外したいんだが mkinitcpio はどこで filesystems に ceph を含めているのか分からない。ふと /lib を見ると /lib/ceph というディレクトリや /lib/libcephなんとか.so といったファイルがある。 これかな。 どうも過去の自分が ceph パッケージをインストールしたらしい。 Arch Linux の ceph は AUR となっている ( AUR - ceph ) ので yay -R ceph-bin ceph-libs-bin を実行してアンインストールした。 再度 mkinitcpio -p linux を実行するとエラーなく完了した。 その後 reboot したらちゃんと Arch Linux が起動した。

The method of creating two partitions by SD card (FAT32, EXT4).

Insert SD card in the computer, the device should be sdb1

1) Display the mount path, mount/dev/sdb1

The following information pops up:

Mount: /dev/sdb1 is already mounted or/run/media/root/B243-A3BC busy

/ dev/sdb1 is already mounted on/run/media/root/B243-A3BC

2) Unloading sdb1 equipment

Umount/run/media/root/B243-A3BC

3) mkfs.ext4/dev/sdb1

4) fdisk/dev/sdb, press’m’, enter command

First partition

Command (m for help): D // / If only one partition is deleted directly, if there are more than one partition, there will be a number, choose the partition you want to delete.

Command (m for help): n // / Add new partitions

Partition type:

P Primary (2 primary, 0 extended, 2 free)

E.extended

Command (m for help): P // / General Option p

Partition number (1-4, default 1): 1// Add by default from the first partition

First sector (2048-15523839, default 2048): // This is where the memory starts, such as 8G memory, there will be 11523839 sectors, starting from 2048, that is, 2048*512=1M. This is the SD card for storing information.

Last sector, +sectors or+size {K, M, G} (2048-15523839, default 15523839): +200M// divided 200M to the first partition.

Command (m for help): t // / Select a format for partitions, Linux or FAT32

Selected partition 1 // Select the first partition and format it

Hex code (type L to list codes): B // do FAT32

To the second partition

Command (m for help): n // / and then partitioned into Linux systems

Partition type:

P Primary (1 primary, 0 extended, 3 free)

E.extended

Select (default p): p

Partition number (1-4, default 2):

Use default value 2

First sector (6293504-15523839, default 6293504):

Use default value 6293504

Last sector, + sectors or +size {K, M, G} (6293504-15523839, default 15523839): // Size is returned directly and the rest is given to the Linux partition.

Use default value 15523839

Command (m for help): w//save

5) Reformatting after partitioning, mkfs.fat/dev/sdb1, mkfs.ext4/dev/sdb2

6) Pull out the U-disk and insert it back into the U-disk. View the partition [root@localhost~] # df-hT

Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/ dev/mapper/cl-root XFS 37G 6.3G 30G 18%/

Finish!

Ps:

FAT32: (i.e. Vfat) A 32-bit file allocation table supports 128GB maximum partition, 4GBext4 log file system, 1EB (1024*1024TB) and 16TB single file. Continuous writing can reduce file fragmentation. Rhel6 default file system.

you must to know how to repair damaged sd card without formatting. so you should create two partitions, It’s more safe.

Raspberry pi vnc viewer

Raspberry pi vnc viewer how to#

Raspberry pi vnc viewer install#

Raspberry pi vnc viewer password#

You will need the IP address from your Raspberry Pi, you will also need the username and password. Install the application, and enter in the details of your Raspberry Pi Now simply download the VNC Viewer application from (If you are not using the VuePilot Raspberry Pi image, it’s under Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration from the top menu)Ĭlick the “ Interfaces” tab and set VNC to Enable Step 1: Enable VNC Server Interfaceįrom your VuePilot Raspberry Pi open the “ System Configuration” application by double clicking the icon on the desktop. VNC is disabled by default on the VuePilot Raspberry Pi image, however you can enable it with just a few clicks which will give you the ability to perform remote desktop control of your device. To stop the VNC viewer, just close the application.Plugging in a keyboard and mouse to your VuePilot Raspberry Pi can be a hassle when the screen is on the other side of the building, the good news however is that the ability to remotely manage your Raspberry Pi device is built into the operating system and uses standard VNC software.

Raspberry pi vnc viewer install#

Back on the Ubuntu machine, install the VNC viewer client: Now, we can finally connect to the Pi with VNC. Once you do, you should see a line looking something like this:

Raspberry pi vnc viewer password#

You will be prompted to create a password for VNC login. But it looks like, this is not possible: Thanks to the good instructions here in the Support forum I managed the raspi device registration, enabled file transfer and remote terminal control. vncserver :1 -geometry 1024圆00 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565 I like to remote control a Raspberry Pi Zero W with TV like I could do in LAN with VNC - with keyboard and mouse as shown at the Raspi HDMI output. Adjust the geometry paramater to your desired display size. Next, start the VNC server on the Raspberry Pi. Now that we have logged in to the Raspberry Pi, we can setup VNC for remote access. You should get a prompt that looks like this: Type yes at the prompt, then enter the password for the user pi, ‘raspberry’ by default. RSA key fingerprint is xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.Īre you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? Now we can ssh to it:Īnd you should receive a message like this: So we know that the Raspberry Pi has IP address: 192.168.0.112. Service Info: OS: Linux Connecting over SSH The Raspberry Pi (running Debian) looks something like this:Ģ2/tcp open ssh OpenSSH 5.5p1 Debian 6+squeeze2 (protocol 2.0) The results will display every machine that could be identified on port 22. Be change to the specifics of your own network. For this task, we can use the Linux nmap (Network Mapper) utility. Click the Terminal icon on the top left of the desktop to open a terminal window. To do this, you have several options: Connect a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. However, if you don’t have a display for your Raspberry Pi, this isn’t an option. You will need to interact with your Pi in order to turn on the VNC server. If you have access to a display for your Raspberry Pi, this task is simple, in a terminal simply type:Īll the network interface configurations will be displayed, including the IP address. The first step is to locate the Raspberry Pi on your network. If not, see RPi Easy SD card setup Getting the IP address of the Raspberry Pi It assumes you have Debian for Raspberry Pi installed on an SD card. This process is easier if you have a display connected to the Raspberry Pi, but will also show the steps to connect with only Ethernet and power connected.

Customization of my GPD XD so far~

 I installed LegacyRom and TWRP recovery following the guide right here. Instantly got rid of all the chinese bloatware, got root, and now have all stock goodness.

Installed TVLauncher and made some customized tiles/icons/banners for it (Even paid for the ad-free version because it’s just so nice~).

I installed the XPosed framework, to fine tune some stuff. The installation was quick and easy~ I installed the following modules:

APM+ to add a reboot option to the power menu (Because Android kit kat only has shutdown/airplane/silent options by default, and no reboot option)

Youtube AdAway, self explanatory adblocker.

Youtube Background Playback, which allows you to close the lid/minimize youtube and the audio will still be playing in the background (It’s a youtube RED functionality, but without it lol)

Forced Screen Rotation mod, because TVLauncher turns upside down if you flip the thing over, even when automatic rotation is disabled ^^;. This module though, allows you to LOCK the rotation by faking the accelerometer sensor data. You can whitelist some apps if you want to still use the accelerometer.

The emulators i’m using are johns lite emulators (GBC, GBA, NES, SNES) cuz I like the selector and it’s consistent, MD.emu, DraStic, ePSXe, MAME4droid (Uses MAME 2010 romset), mupen64+, yabause (Yaba Sanshiro), PPSSPP (A lot of games run at full speed), reicast (Dreamcast emulation has come a long way and most games run at full speed!), Ataroid, Turbo Dosbox, and VirtualJaguar (Not full speed but I like the jaguar as the weird little thing it is). They all have gamepad support!

Some of them are paid apps but trust me it’s worth paying most of the cases heh. I bought Turbo Dosbox, DraStic, and ePSXe long ago and it’s been worth it.

Yeah I still hate retroarch. Tried it once again, and although the menu seems slightly more maneuverable, sorry ^^; ...still added it for completeness sake, and just in case, but could get rid of it at any moment. I don’t really care that it’s free, It’s just my opinion but I prefer to have my stuff separated and I like to have many icons on the screen. But first and most importantly I like it the way things are now and I’m not willing to change just “because retroarch”.

I can live without picodrive’s 32x emulation anyways...

Alright, now onto Android games. The Sonic android ports are lovely and have native gamepad support, same as Minecraft, Virtua Tennis (?), and an android port of GZDoom (Which isn’t on the play store as far as I know).

Re-Volt, Rayman and F1 2016 (Found a modded version to make it work on android Kit Kat) don’t have gamepad support BUT the GPD-XD Mapper allows you to map physical buttons to touchscreen controls so you can virtually play any game that has on-screen joystick controls.

Also there’s my own games Tunnel Runner Redux (which has full gamepad support in-game, even strafing with the shoulder buttons heheh) and OuO (which doesn’t use the gamepad at all but it’s cute)

TVLauncher supports adding web bookmarks as well, so I’ve added some bookmarks to sites, alongside all the other apps I’ve installed (twitter, tumblr, chrome, it’s not really better than on the phone, but I like to have em it looks neat and this thing has 32 gigabytes of internal storage memory, that’s enough room for everything hhaha)

I heavily recommend getting most of Simple Mobile Apps, they’re ad-free and they do just what you need. Clock, File Browser, Image Gallery, Music Player, and other stuff.

Anyway, so far I’m still in love with this thing. Zero disappointments, and everything works just as I expected and even better. <33

If you guys know of any cool gamepad-ready android games I should try (or action-oriented, you know, arcade style or that are played with on-screen controls heh) let me know!

Here’s a bunch of things to note if you’re considering getting one (Putting them under the ReadMore because this post is already too long!):

Ok so:

The GPD XD model I have is the one with 32GB of internal memory.

It doesn’t have bluetooth (The newest GPD XD+ “plus” revision does have bluetooth though, along with more RAM; that makes it a bit more expensive than the “old” 2017 model)

It doesn’t have a GPS.

It doesn’t have a light/proximity sensor, so automatic brightness doesn’t work.

It doesn’t have a Camera.

It does have an accelerometer but it doesn’t have a gyroscope, or a magnetic field sensor. So essentially any game that requires turning the device “around” (cardinal directions) won’t work.

It doesn’t have a SIM card slot.

Basically it doesn’t have any pointless hardware so that you don’t have to pay for what you don’t need. It is an emulation-oriented-handheld after all.

It does have a microphone though. And stereo speakers, in front of the device.

The accelerometer is located at the bottom half of the device, and not at the top half. Keep that in mind when playing tilt-controlled games!

The thumbsticks are really analogue joysticks and they feel quite nice, even if the sensitivity is quite high, but frankly that’s expected from these kind of joysticks. You can still kind of press it softly on one side to do small movements.

The shoulder buttons are clicky and the d-pad and the ABXY buttons are not. The start and select buttons are both placed on the left-hand side of the console, but if you don’t like that you can easily remap the select/start buttons to the L3/R3 buttons. I personally don’t mind it heh.

It DOES have a mini-hdmi port (to connect to a TV), an SD card slot, a microUSB port (obviously), and a headphone jack.

YES, it supports USB-on-the-go, so you can plug in a keyboard, or a mouse, or even a usb joystick I think.

It has Android 4.4.4 but it’s not like you’ll need anything higher than that If your goal is to play emulators (And some games like F1 2016 can be modded to work on that version of android as well).

HOLD DOWN the app drawer button (the one right between the power button and the gamepad-mapper button) to access the SETTINGS menu of applications! (Works like a settings button!). If you just press it, it will open the recent apps menu instead.

Gamepad-mapper configurations are saved separately for each game/program so you don’t have to re-config every time you play!

In any case, I love this thing and It’s been worth all my money so far!

I’m thinking of making a new boot animation because the LegacyRom one looks a bit out of place tbh and because WHOO CUSTOMIZATION hhaha

Thanks for reading!

August of Wind and they appeared...

In a mere 5 days, the smoke that has settled in the valley where I live for the past few weeks has cleared making my mailbox visible from the street once more.  It might seem like just a coincidence but in my mind deliveries during this time have been non-existent. No sooner had the air quality and visibility improved than the mailman began paying regular visits to our doorstep again.

On Monday I got a package from Games Connection out of the UK.  In the envelope was the Everdrive-N8.  The Everdrive is essentially a flashcart on a chip with the appropriate pin connector to merge with your specific region of Nintendo. It has a bulit-in SD card reader that you can load with games.  it supports most mappers that the Nintendo library is built on and it allows you to play roms on your original NES hardware. Unlike emulation, the Nintendo reads the games into memory it as if it were the original cartridge. This gives you as true-to-original experience as plugging in the real game.  For a collector such as myself, it is just so handy to be able to have your library on one convenient game pack.  This saves the wear and tear on both the machine and the games (especially those that are more rare and/or expensive).  In addition to the original games the Everdrive is also compatible with many homebrews and game hacks and includes a cheat menu that allows you to enter Game Genie codes to give you a virtually endless supply of ways to change how the games play.  

Today I received a second package, this one from a Facebook group, with 4 manuals in it:  Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy, Baseball Stars, Slalom, and Strider.  Adding this quartet of booklets to my collection has allowed me to reach a milestone for my game manual collection. These 4 make my total 300 instruction booklets.

Unlicensed games: 62/90

Review: Analogue Nt mini ⊟

[Above is my first video review, since there’s no point in evaluating an HD retro console without, like, seeing it. The text here is the same as the VO narration in the video. Enjoy it either way. And let me know if you like the video! I’m still learning how to do this stuff, and I plan to do more video with this console.

Also, full disclosure: a review unit was provided by Analogue.]

The original Analogue Nt ensured perfect reproduction of NES and Famicom games by using genuine Famicom internals inside new aluminum cases with custom HD video out. The new Analogue Nt mini trades out the real NES parts for a custom-designed FPGA chip, but as far as I can tell, loses none of the fidelity in the transition.

The Analogue Nt mini plays NES and Famicom cartridges, just like many other Famiclones and emulation-based devices like the Retron 5 and Retro Freak. However, it doesn’t use software emulation -- instead, the FPGA is a chip that can be configured to act exactly like another chip, in this case the NES CPU. The result is extremely accurate reproduction of NES games, because the chip is acting exactly like the NES hardware.

The fact that it isn’t exactly the real NES chip means that Analogue can do some extra stuff with the games. Game Genie functionality is built right in. The NT mini has my favorite scanline filter out of any virtual CRT scanlines I’ve seen. It also has a series of selectable color palettes, some based on various emulators, a fun black-and-white palette, and even the functionality to create your own custom color scheme.

There are audio options too: not only can you turn on or off the various sound channels, you can also toggle the extra sound capabilities from the different cartridge mapper chips. Or you could look at a screen like this, get intimidated, and just go back to playing 3-D WorldRunner. That’s an option too, technically.

Since this isn’t an emulation machine, it doesn’t include many of the niceties you may have come to expect from an old-game experience. There are no save states, no fast-forward or rewind, no translation patches. Instead, it’s a machine purpose-built to play NES games exactly as they were designed to be played, but in astounding, crystal clear upscaled 1080p resolution instead of blurry CRT.

Here’s where it gets crazy, though: even though it was built for that single purpose, the NT mini can do more. Since it’s an FPGA chip and can be reprogrammed, coder Kevtris -- who worked on the Analogue NT mini -- has decided to start unofficially releasing code that reprograms the chip to match other consoles, something he said he’d start doing once a week. These “cores” live on an SD card and allow the user to run ROMS. The first is the NES core, allowing the use of NES ROMs on the nt mini. Kevtris also hopes to release cartridge and controller adapters for some of these supported systems. Given that this is an unofficial function of the system, I’ll cover this in more detail another time.

The NT mini is expensive for sure, starting at $449 -- even if that represents a $50 savings over the original Analogue NT, which didn’t come with a wireless controller or HDMI out. But for that price, you get a system that does its job incredibly well, inside a gorgeous aluminum case that honestly looks and feels nicer than something I should be allowed to possess. Not that it’s fragile or anything -- in fact, the solid aluminum case is probably the sturdiest console housing ever made, and the cartridge slots are a lot less terrifying to use than a real NES. It just looks, and is, extraordinarily fancy.

Weekly news

The aspiration of daring mappers burn with the intensity of a thousand suns in the latest Aspire Mapping Contest! For those of you who didn’t know already, the Aspire mapping contest is a chance for mappers to relieve the burdens of the ranking criteria and let loose their creative demons. With the entrants revealed and our wonderful judges already giving us their take on them, it is nigh time for your to also tell us what you think by voting for your favorites!

We seemed to have missed you for our regularly scheduled dev meeting! It looks like we’ve had a bit of a schedule shuffle in terms of when we hold them, so our public dev meeting will likely be held this month instead. We still have plenty of cool new things to show off to you guys over the course of the month, so stay tuned for more!

The osu!weekly will be trialing a new format starting… right now! With the incorporation of a more navigable weekly, we will be looking to aggressively promote content from everywhere around a community. We will also be trialing a new tournament feature program, where just about any moderately sized tournament can get a similar, albeit smaller, block on every weekly detailing the progress of their brackets and matches. If your tournament doesn't quite meet the size requirement, don't worry! Your data can be later used towards building a wiki page for your competition, so we'll keep it around! Interested in participating? Hit us up at news@ppy.sh with your interest as well as the tournament you’re hosting, and we’ll get back to you shortly with more details.

Around the community

This is one of the new blocks we’ll be testing out in the coming weeks, and will be something like a community sub box. The videos posted here contain the opinions of the creators and do not reflect the opinion of osu!, the osu!staff, or necessarily the osu!weekly, but we do think the videos and the people behind it are pretty darn cool. If you have videos that you think are “cool enough” to show up here, drop us a message at news@ppy.sh!

Pishifat uploaded a new video detailing the creation and evolution of what we know as the “ranking criteria”. It’s been a rocky road for beatmap moderation, and not all of it has been well known for the great majority of us. It’s a great watch, much like much of his other related content, so take a look and see how the game is combating an ever evolving landscape for creative output!

Eres EriA, better known for his player showcase videos, posted a video showing the top 25 Taiko Players of 2016 in Korea! If you’re interested in what kind of community centric content this guy has been putting out, be sure to check out his channel!

Eternity is a new music based channel that showcases neat songs and their corresponding maps in the game. This channel proves to be a good way to discover great listens while letting you know the fact that someone has already mapped it for your circle clicking enjoyment.

Tournament Corner

An interesting new “sightreading” tournament has popped up courtesy of our friend neonat!. Unfortunately for players, it seems like player registration is limited to Singaporeans only. However, since the format for this tournament is quite special, they will be looking for mappers to help fill in their map pool over the course of the next few weeks! If you’re interested in helping out, neonat has provided us with a link to his discord so you can drop right in to say hello!

Scorewatch: March week 3 (With Scorewatch Patrol)

Ekoro, currently participating in TWC 2017, is not just capable of whacking those drums. He pulled off a mindblowing EZFL 98.50% FC on 9mm Parabellum Bullet - Inferno on The Eclipse difficulty, giving him 385pp. Ekoro has been super capable in playing FL, and this score is nothing short of breathtaking.

Neliel pulled off a big one this week! He became the second ever person to FC BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance with 98.06%, earning him 578pp. This guy doesn’t seem like he’s stopping anytime soon. Absolutely insane.

Gayzmcgee just keeps on pulling the big scores! His DT 98.97% FC on Apocalyptica - Reign of Fear is the first ever, as he gained 437pp in the process. Watch it, you won’t regret it.

_yu68 is back at it again with the crazy scores in osu!taiko as he managed to HD 99.92% FC you - Hold Angel, gaining 491pp. 300BPM of rapid mashing will take a toll on your ears, so beware!

Seems like 9mm Parabellum Bullet - Inferno made its way to become an osu!catch pp map as _Asriel setted a crazy 99.79% HDHR play to gain 921pp. You can be the judge whether this should hold as much as it is.

NOTABLE MENTIONS:

Cookiezi took a shot at the newly ranked Remo Prototype[CV: Hanamori Yumiri] - Sendan Life as he pulled off an amazing 99.85% HDHR FC, gaining 668pp.

Toy probably fell flat tired after completing an exhausting HDHR 98.87% FC on Linkin Park - Living Things worth 436pp.

stu00608 went super crazy on SENTIVE - The end of a century as he slapped HD, SD, DT and FL on to get a 99.15% FC worth 537pp.

TWC 2017 Week 1 Summary:Group Stage- with magnomizer

While Group Stage may not traditionally be the most exciting of stages, a marked increase in mappool difficulty from last year coupled with the introduction of Score V2 has definitely stirred up some interest, attracting 1000+ viewers at peak over this weekend. We were right to be invested of course, and this Group Stage certainly did not disappoint, featuring some of the closest matches we’ve ever seen in osu!Taiko history.

With over 20 matches scheduled over the weekend, players and spectators alike were expecting a series of intense and exciting matches. But after what seemed like an endless slew of 4-0 victories in favour of the higher seeded team, expectations started to lower, and the atomosphere slowly turned stale.

Suddenly, this all changed when Indonesia stood its ground and took a point from the higher seeded Chile, evening the score to 1-1. Twitch chat immediately exploded with hype for a tiebreaker, and as if on cue, our prayers were answered when the points eventually ticked over to 3-3. Both teams performed incredibly on the tiebreaker, and the struggle could be felt as the score lead tilted precariously between both sides, but in the end, it was Indonesia that managed to come out on top.

Following yet another drought of 4-0 scores, we were subsequently rewarded with the hugely anticipated matchup between South Korea and France. Despite the latter putting up a good fight (including a point where the score difference was only 254), the points quickly racked up to 3-0 in favour of South Korea. However, in a stunning turn of events, France somehow found its footing, and battled its way up the steep incline, surprising everyone when they forced yet another tiebreaker. Unfortunately for them, the South Korean team held their ground, and France conceded the match point with a score difference of only 3148.

Other highlights include Malaysia, who managed to beat out Argentina in Group Stage, becoming the only Low Seed that makes it out to Ro16. Team Japan also reminded everyone of its dominating presence by landing a triple SS in their match against Poland, achieving a maximum of 3 million score - a flawless victory. Thankfully, Poland has also qualified for the Ro16 - perhaps there will be an opportunity to take their revenge? To conclude, many congratulations to the 16 teams that have fought hard to remain in this tournament, with special mentions to Malaysia and Indonesia for exceeding expectations. While no teams are at risk of going home yet, their performance next week will be of utmost importance, as it will significantly influence the way they progress through the tournament.

The first match is scheduled to take place on Sunday 19 March, 09:00 UTC. Be sure to drop by the osu!live twitch channel this weekend to show your support for the teams competing!

How’s that for a change of pace? Once again, there’s a bunch of new weekly based initiatives taking flight, so send us an e-mail at news@ppy.sh to get yourself known out there! If you prefer to catch me when I’m around online, I’m idling for the greater part of my waking day in the osu!dev discord. We’ll be right back at it next week folks, so don’t go anywhere!

So you’ve heard about drone mapping, and you want to try it yourself, but you don’t know how to start. This step by step guide will help you do the first step. Basic level drone mapping is easier than you think. In fact, if you own one of the popular models of DJI Phantom 3, 4 or Mavic Pro (and there is a big chance you do) most of the stuff will happen automatically.

Selecting your drone.

The first thing is to select your UAV. The selection of drones on the market is huge but if you search for a drone that will be both: fun to use after hours and good enough for professional applications there is only one choice you should consider – one of DJI’s quadcopters (Phantom 3, 4 or Mavic Pro). They are affordable (you can get Phantom 3 for less than $400), they come with a built-in camera, and there are plenty of useful smartphone apps that support DJI’s copters.

Selecting your drone mapping ecosystem

Once you got your DJI drone ready it’s time to choose a “mapping solution” that comprises of a smartphone app and a web platform. The app will help to plan your flight properly, and it will take over the control of your DJI drone to automatically complete the survey. After the flight, you will have to transfer the data from your UAV to a computer. To do that you need to take the micro SD card out from your drone, connect it to a computer and upload collected data to a web-based tool that will process the data and let you view and analyze the final output.

The entry level products of a drone survey are othomosaics, which are essentially stitched together areal images from your drone, transformed to be cartometric, as well as 3D models and point clouds. The basic idea behind it is similar to 3D movies. If you take images of the same object from at least two perspectives, you will get a stereoscopic 3D view. That’s why the images from your drone must significantly overlap.

Planning your flight

Your main concern when flying a drone should be safety. For your first mapping project select an area without trees and high structures and never fly above people. The area of the project should not be too large and too small. 100x100m (or 300x300ft) should be just fine.

Once you’ve selected the area or a structure you want to map and you’ve installed Data Mapper on your smartphone, it’s time to make use of the app and plan the flight.

4.Take off

To take off you need to connect a smartphone to your DJI drone and simply tap on “Fly”. Confirm and take off.

Review your photos

If you have an opportunity to review the images still in the field, please do that. Particularly, in the beginning, it will save you a lot of time. During my first flight, I had to go back to the field twice to get the effect I wanted to have. You can also use that time to remove irrelevant images before processing. Pictures of the sky or taken at a strange angle might negatively influence the final effect of the orthomosaic and 3D model.

Remember that DJI doesn’t rename your images according to your flight plan, so on the SD card you will see all the images named in order. Sorting out images from the flight your want to process and coping them to a separate folder will help you in the next steps.

Upload your images for processing

Ok. Now it’s time to upload your data. To do that you need to go to datamapper.com and create an account. You don’t need to give your credit card details and the first month is for free.

Amazon has announced AWS Blockchain Templates, a new solution that will allow customers to launch Ethereum or Hyperledger Fabric networks in minutes. The templates will configure all of the AWS resources needed to get started and make it easy to scale.

The Ethereum template offers two options: ecs and docker-local. The ecs template creates an Amazon ECS cluster in a VPC and launches a set of Docker images within that cluster. The docker-local option runs within a VPC and launches Docker images on EC2 instances, and supports Ethereum mining, the EthStats and EthExplorer status pages, and a set of nodes that both implement and respond to the Ethereum RPC protocol.

Information about Spy Cell Phones and Adults

New Post has been published on https://giveuselife.org/information-about-spy-cell-phones-and-adults/

Information about Spy Cell Phones and Adults

What are spy cell phones? What are the different uses of these phones and tracking devices?

Imagine a cell phone secretly watching your behavior. Think of your mobile phone eyeing your actions and recording them in its memory. Sounds impossible? I am afraid, it isn’t. In fact, cell phones can be used to track user behavior and record conversations and text messages that are exchanged through them.

A spy phone is a mobile phone or a spy device that allows a user to monitor and hear or record conversations and other activities taking place over the phone. Spy phones can function in different ways. They can be used as listening devices whereby secretive conversations can be tracked. They are popularly used by secret agencies to track criminal activities that are carried out over cellular networks. They can be used for tracking periodic calls and recording the frequency of calls from certain suspicious numbers. Spy phones can be used for monitoring business and household activities while the cell phone user is away.

Previously, simple wiretapping techniques were used to spy telephonic conversations. Secret agencies and security authorities commonly used phonetapping as a tool to track the suspects’ behavior. It would enable the security officials to listen to the telephonic conversations taking place over phones they tapped. However, with the advancements in technology, spying became easier.

Today, installable software can be used to record cell phone calls and messages. Also, there are cell phone spying systems, wherein a spy is automatically alerted when the cell phone user dials a certain number. There are certain software applications, which can be loaded onto the cell phones and be used for maintaining call logs, recording text messages and monitoring Internet activity over the mobile phone. Some of these applications also let a user call the target cell phone number from a preset number and track the target user’s activities. ‘Phone Dead’ is a relatively recent technology that enables a cell phone to be used as a spy phone even when switched off. In this case, the spy cell phone is configured to function in a ghost mode, whereby it silently answers the calls it receives.

With the implementation of modern spying techniques, cell phones can be converted into call and text message interceptors or GSM trackers, thus making them function as spy cell phones. Besides tracking messages and conversations, spy cell phones can also alert third-party users of the target phone’s outgoing calls. Spy phones can also be used to track the target user’s location by means of GPS technologies. They can be programmed to record audio or video for a predetermined period of time.

Spy cell phones give rise to legal as well as ethical concerns. Their positive side is that they can be used by parents to monitor the behavior of their children. Also, they can be used by business officials to track workplace activity. The most important application of spy cell phones is in tracking criminal activities. But there is another side to this and it is not positive. Yes, spy cell phone software is easily available. Cell phones are easily convertible to spy phones. Their ready availability makes them subject to illegitimate use. Malicious cell phone users can gain an unauthorized access to other users’ mobile phones and dampen the overall security of cellular networks.

Perhaps, it is ironic that the technology that helps you stay connected to the world can also provide any individual with an unwarranted access to your life.

From wireless cameras to voice modifiers, there are a variety of spy devices that vary in size, price and function. Read on to see the latest and greatest espionage gadgets.

If you watch any spy movie like the Bond series or the Bourne Supremacy, you must have noticed, that no matter what the tight spot or situation is, a spy has a way in and a way out. He always escapes with his skin intact. And that is because of his tools. Gadgets, tools, devices, gizmos… whatever they are called, they make the difference between a successful mission and a disaster. For the sleeping spy within us, we may not need the most silent gun or the fastest bullet-proof car, but a secret spy camera up our sleeve wouldn’t hurt. Who said playing spy is for kids?

Spy Cameras for Adults

I spy with my little eye… Now you can have eyes and ears everywhere, with these latest video stealth gadgets. Video Surveillance Clock ($160)

Spy Gear Spy Video TRAKR ($120)

It has an antenna, microphone, adjustable video lens and speaker, along with in-built apps, like a path mapper, for greater functionality.

You can operate the camera by remote control and record video in VGA resolution undetected. It stores up to 2 GB of video recordings and can be easily connected to a computer, using its built-in USB port.

Audio Spy Gadgets

Sometimes, video is not as important as crystal clear sound. To monitor conversations, live and on the phone, here are some of the top sound related spy equipment.

Flash Drive Memory Spy Digital Voice Recorder ($20)

A sensitive sound recorder, sneakily disguised as a USB flash drive. It can capture audio within a 5 meter radius and has a 2GB internal memory, that stores up to 4.5 hours of recording. Turn it on or off, with the help of a tiny switch on the recorder’s side, that looks like a flash drive lock. SleuthGear Digital Recorder ($140)

This voice recorder is slim and flat enough for a low profile, with amazing audio recording capacity. Record up to 65 hours of audio on a 1 GB memory. Its memory slot is expandable with a 4GB SD card (sold separately), so you can record an additional 260 hours of audio and play the audio in either WAV or MP3 format.

Orbitor Electronic Spy Listening Device ($60)

Listen to conversations over 300 feet away! With the Orbitor, you can listen to distant and weak sounds and even capture snippets.

The quality of the modified sound is very good and you can increase or decrease the pitch of your voice as desired. Just plug into the handset and base of any phone to use.

StreetWise Cellphone Voice Changer ($20)

It looks like a mobile phone accessory but this device is a hands-free voice changer, with 4 voice change options and an impressive 30 hour battery life. Miscellaneous Spy Stuff for Adults

Spies, like the boy scouts, are prepared for anything and everything. From erasing your tracks, to mini-weapons, these are some cool spy tools. UZI Tactical Pen ($20) A small but powerful weapon, the UZI pen is made of aluminum with a sharpened crown, to jab or poke an attacker. Best of all, it takes a quick DNA sample of your attacker in the crown. A must-have tactical equipment for adults.

Hand Paper Shredder ($30)

Leaving a paper trail is the best way to get caught. So for maximum protection, leave no paper behind with this hand operated mini shredder. The shredder has cuts and perforations of steel. Its small size and light weight make it an ideal spy companion.

SF103 Spy Finder Camera Detector ($85)

The secret to a good spy is to make sure no one is watching you. Detect wired and wireless hidden cameras, even if they are off, with this nifty detector. Small and easily kept away makes it, one key spy device.

EyeClops Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles ($130)

Monitor your target through night and day. The goggles use actual infra-red night vision technology, to give you a cat-like vision in the dark.

Telespial TrackStick – GPS Tracking Logger ($135)

The TrackStick makes sure you know the exact path and location, where your target has been traveling to. It provides quick and comprehensive travel reports. Place it in your target’s vehicle and get it back later, then use Google Earth to check where he/she has been. A minimal design and belt clip makes it ideal for covert use.

Credit Card Light Bulb ($4)

For a small and thin source of light in dark dinghy places, this light bulb fits in your wallet. Just flip the light up and down for use. Batteries included.

Spy Keylogger ($25)

Whenever you type anything into your computer, those keystrokes are recordable and here’s the device that allows you to record, store and view keystrokes later. With this gadget, you will know what your target does on his/hers PC.

Lipstick Stun Gun ($50)

Most tasers and stun guns are heavyweight obvious weapons. But for a more ladylike approach, here’s a 3 inch lipstick device with a built-in taser and flashlight. Shock and awe away!

KGB Disappearing Ink Pen ($15)

The ultimate device in espionage is an invisible ink pen. Jot down codes or passwords at ease, since the ink fades in a couple of minutes. Even if the note falls into the wrong hands, the ink leaves no trace on the note of what was written.

Hidden Wall Safe ($8)

Along with handy devices and stealth tactics, part of being a successful spy is keeping your own stuff safe. This means hiding things in plain sight, which can be easily done with this nifty wall safe. On the outside, it looks like a simple power switch. But pull it towards you to expose a small but roomy hidden cubbyhole. You can easily install it in your house.

AA Reduced Mileage Awards for February-May 2017

Along with priority boarding and a free checked bag, Citi-issued American Airlines co-branded credit cards offer a lesser-known perk: reduced mileage awards. This promotion allows you to save between 1,000 and 7,500 miles per round-trip, depending on the route and the type of card you have.

The reduced mileage award program is only valid for two months at a time, and there’s no guarantee it’ll be renewed. So, we always breathe a sigh of relief when we see another list posted. Thankfully, it’s been renewed yet again. This time for bookings through March 31 for flights through the end of May.

Who’s Eligible?

If you have one of the following cards, you can save 7,500 miles off of a round-trip award ticket (or 3,750 off one-way):

Citi / AAdvantage Executive World Elite MasterCard

Citi / AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite MasterCard (as well as the old Visa and Amex versions)

CitiBusiness/AAdvantage Select Visa or MasterCard (not accepting new applications)

CitiBusiness / AAdvantage Platinum Select World MasterCard

AAdvantage Aviator Red MasterCard (as well as the old Silver and Business versions)

Or, you’re eligible for 5,000 miles off of a round-trip award ticket (or 2,500 off one-way) if you have one of the following:

Citi / AAdvantage Gold MasterCard (as well as the old Visa and Amex versions)

AAdvantage Aviator Blue MasterCard (not accepting new applications)

One-Way Flights Within the US (excluding <500) Flights under 500 miles To/From Canada Award Chart Cost 12,500 7,500 15,000 Reduced Mileage Award Discount (3,750) (1,000) (3,750) Mileage Cost 8,750 6,500 11,250 10% Rebate (if eligible) (875) (650) (1,125) Net Cost 7,875 5,850 10,125

If you have multiple types of cards (i.e., the Citi / AAdvantage Executive World Elite MasterCard and Citi / AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite MasterCard), you’re only eligible to take the discount once. However, you’ll still be eligible for the 10% mileage rebate available on qualifying cards. So, your “net” mileage cost for an economy flight could be just 7,875 miles one-way (15,750 round-trip).

Nonstop award flights of less than 500 miles (each way) cost just 7,500 AAdvantage miles one-way — rather than the standard 12,500 miles one-way. While these <500-mile award flights aren’t eligible for the 3,750-mile discount noted above, you can use an eligible card to save 1,000 miles off of a one-way redemption. This means that you’ll pay just 6,500 miles one-way for flights of less than 500 miles (before the 10% rebate).

Flagstaff, AZ (FLG)

West Palm Beach, FL (PBI)

Not mapped (for space): Bangor, ME (BGR); Calgary, AB (YYC)

How To Book

Once you’ve found MileSAAver award availability on American Airlines’ website, call American Airlines at 1-800-882-8880 — or your elite reservations number, if applicable — to book the award ticket. As these awards aren’t available for booking online, the terms and conditions state that the standard $30 phone-booking fee will be waived. However, if you book through an airport agent or AA travel center, a booking fee of $35 will apply.

For February–May 2017 reduced mileage awards, the discount codes that you’ll have to provide the agent for the larger discount are:

7,500 / 2,000-mile cards Within the US (excluding <500) Flights under 500 miles To/From Canada Savings (per round-trip) 7,500 2,000 7,500 First Class (2-cabin) UD21X2E / AVM13  UD14E / AVA12  UD26X2E / AVA09 Business Class (3-cabin) UD28X7E / AVA07 N/A UD33X7E / AVA10 Main Cabin TD8X7E / AVM12  TD6X5E / AVA11 TD11X2E / AVA08

And for the smaller discount:

5,000 / 1,000-mile cards Within the US (excluding <500) Flights under 500 miles To/From Canada Savings (per round-trip) 5,000 1,000 5,000 First Class (2-cabin) UD22X5E / AVM11 UD14X5E / AVA06 UD27X5E / AVA03 Business Class (3-cabin)  UD30E / AVA01 N/A UD35E / AVA04 Main Cabin TD10E / AVM10 TD7E / AVA05 TD12X5E / AVA02

Tips

1. The discount applies to flights both to and from the listed airports. However, American Airlines agents are instructed to only apply the discount for flights between the “48 contiguous United States or Canada” and the listed airports. So, unfortunately, this keeps you from applying this discount for flights between a listed airport and Europe, Asia or even the Caribbean.

2. Unfortunately the discount only applies to American Airlines-operated flights — not Alaska-operated flights.

3. The airports for February-March previously covered aren’t necessarily still available. Discounted award flights to/from the airports on this list had to be booked by January 31. Make sure to book award flights for the airports listed below before January 31 to avoid missing out. The list of airports for April and May will likely change on April 1.

4. The $75 close-in booking fee still applies to award flights within 21 days — waived when American Airlines Gold, Platinum and Executive Platinum members are using miles from their account.

5. As you can tell by the codes above, the discounts are also available for domestic business and first-class flights. The savings of 7,500/2,000 (5,000/1,000) miles are the same regardless of the cabin booked.

6. Award flights to/from Canada no longer cost the same amount of miles as flights inside the US; award flights to/from Canada start at 30,000 miles round-trip in economy. If you are flying to/from an eligible city, you can apply one of these codes to save 7,500 miles.

Where will you go with this list of reduced mileage awards?

Weekly News Around the community Score Watch

Mentee applications for both osu!standard and osu!catch have started and we’re primed to enter a new cycle! For those of you who are desperately (like me) trying to up their game in the mapping community, what better opportunity is there than this? While mods are dime a dozen, it’s not an exaggeration to say getting sincere opinions and critiques is a seldom received gift. If you are sincere in your pursuit of a better beatmap, head on over and apply today!

The osu!lazer development branch saw the introduction of the new expandable in-game mod overlay! It might be quicker to just show you what I mean, but if you haven’t yet, you should definitely follow the osu!dev blog for further updates on the new version of our game!

The osu!SOFT (Springtime osu!mania (4K) FFA Tournament) has reached a decisive conclusion! The grand finals proved to be a battle between two absolute giants in terms of ability. With the format being a survival of the fittest deathmatch, how can you be surprised? Cobo-, coming from the winners bracket, faced off against cheetose from the lower bracket. After a bracket reset and some incredible performances from both players, cheetose would go and take the top spot in the tournament. Congratulations!

For the first time in a while, it might be worthwhile to give ourselves a refresher with so many front page news this week!

Starting from the top, osu!catch World Cup registration has begun! See? I told you you guys didn’t have to wait long! If you’re interested in representing your country and are at least rank #5000 in the mode, head on over to see if you qualify and compete for fruit catching glory! That said, we’ll be starting our regular coverage of the tournament as well, so look no further for regular updates on the status of our premier tournaments.

Kuba Oms has joined the ranks of our featured artists! It’s been a long time coming, but the prolific Canadian artist will finally have his music available for mappers to use for creative output. Ever since My Love became the hot topic with MBC #4, the winning entry has been a staple within the osu! client. His music has been the gatekeeper for our game for a very long time, and now we’ll finally be able to see more of them throughout our adventure!

osu! will be making an appearance at Anime Expo 2017! Join us between July 1st and July 4th at the Los Angeles Convention Center and hang out with the crew that makes osu! happen behind the scenes. We’ll be hosting a variety of events on-site, including but not limited to tournaments and (hopefully) panels!

For the first time ever, osu!taiko will have its very own edition of the aspire contest! The excitement is building up as we wait to find out what kind of crazy new ways to break the game mode will emerge. For those who wish to participate, you have a full month (+1 day for timezone reasons) to get your submissions in.

The osu!speedrunning community has taken off with some fierce first week competition!Our very own MillhioreF currently holds the record for the fastest to 10 full combos. When asked about what he had to say to people going after his record, he had this to say. While this may seem bizarre for a lot of us, it’s always cool to see people find their own enjoyment in the spirit of how rhythm games should be.

The channel “Click The Circles” uploads a lot of “progression” videos showcasing the change of player ability over time. This week, we can get a glimpse of how well top players did on two classic challenge maps: Chipscape and Atama no Taisou. With these videos being only the beginning as a wealth of comparison based and ranking content, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to check out more of their videos!

Cookiezi continues to shoot for the 14,000pp barrier as he made his mark on Chitose Sara - Merry Merry Go Round with a crazy 99.22% HDDT FC to claim 706pp. With this score, he now has ten 700pp+ top plays. Check it out!

People wondered if filsdelama would follow up Vaxei’s HDHRDT FC on ClariS - Hitorigoto -TV MIX- and snipe the bacon down. Well, you no longer have to wonder, as he did it within a week, achieving a staggering 99.41% HDHRDT FC and grabbed his No. 1 Top Rank as well, sitting at 726pp.

How on EARTH are you supposed to read this? _Rise pulled off the first ever HDHR FC on Camellia - Exit This Earth's Atomosphere, scoring 527pp with his 99.10% score. Incredible.

“We await the first FC on the SV difficulty of Camellia - Shun no Shifudo o Ikashita Kare Fumi Paeria”, that was what I wrote back in osu!weekly #84, but it seems like the dream has came true, all thanks to jakads who pulled off an outstanding 99.96% SD FC on the SV difficulty. This is one mania score you have got to watch!

inteliser stole another SS from a 5* map as he obliterated ZOGRAPHOS (Yu_Asahina+Yamajet) - Verse IV with a 162:1752 SS, beating out the likes of jhlee0133, jakads and Cobo-. This is a watch for the mania players!

=NOTABLE MENTIONS=

ExGon took 74 hours to complete MillhioreF - Waltz o' the Irish. Yes. 74 hours. He streamed this amazing slow slider score on twitch to complete an amazing 1 note SS score.

DanyL and Vaxei blew Cookiezi’s score into a pile of dust as they took TrySail - High Free Spirits -TV.Ver- (Skystar’s Extra) and smashed it with 96.79% and 98.82% HDDT FCs, giving them 692pp and 746pp respectively.

Musty followed in Vaxei’s footsteps and, within 2 weeks, secured a breathtaking 98.86% HR FC on DragonForce - Symphony of the Night to earn himself 620pp.

free mutual lost his sanity and went for an amazing 99.77% FC on BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance to earn himself 633pp and sniping Rafis off the throne after more than a year. It seems that he is not quite done with this map yet, so keep your eyes peeled for the coming months!

==SCOREWATCH SCORE SHOW==

It’s Pope Gadget against SitekX today, battling out on the Loved map Shawn Wasabi - Marble Soda!
