Oh yes! We had those, too (as my friend had no networking card), and playing with the red and blue CDs was fun! This must have been somewhere '95 or '96.

And BTW: I made those networking cables myself, too. They had bright yellow sleeves, and the terminators and T-pieces had been painted yellow to tag them as mine.

I'd even say, the usefullness is fully gone.

As if Trump you care about anything being "legal".

Genau die Antwort, die ich von einem AfD-Troll erwartet habe. Danke für das Abnehmen der Maske.

On the shelf next door is still the box with the hundreds of coax ethernet cables, the T-connectors, and 50 Ohm terminators from the LAN parties in the 90s. Before they were called "LAN parties" and used for gaming.

As soon as the farms run out of illegals to exploit, the price of eggs might go up to 10.99 per egg, though...

AfD und NSDAP gleichsetzen ist auch Verfehlung des Themas.

So? Was unterscheidet die Nazi-Partei AfD deiner Meinung nach so grundlegend von der NSDAP, dass eine Gleichsetzung Dir unmöglich erscheint?

Beide Aktionen waren Steigbügelhalten für Nazis. Wo hast Du da deinen blinden Fleck?

Offensichtlich kennst Du entweder Hindenburg oder Merz nicht richtig, sonst würdest Du das nicht sagen.

Interressant, dass er die Probleme überall sieht, aber nicht die in der eigenen Partei.

Before that, British politicians would need to have some ethic first.

 
  1. Januar 1933: Paul von Hindenburg: "Wenn er erst mal Reichskanzler ist, haben wir ihn unter Kontrolle"

  2. Januar 2025: Friedrich Merz: "Wir werden nächste Woche in den Deutschen Bundestag Anträge einbringen, die ausschließlich unserer Überzeugung entsprechen. [...] Und wir werden sie einbringen, unabhängig davon, wer ihnen zustimmt."

 

Because you now did it to yourself.

 

My problem: I want to create an inventory of my parts. For that I need data I could look up on BL. Sadly, my storage has no internet whatsoever, so I need an offline solution.

I have found the LDRAW library inside the Studio installation, which gives me the parts and their design. They contain the name of the part, too, but only as a comment, and I have yet to verify if this is consistent. I think I could rig a software that renders me the picture as I need it for my application, so that's that.

But there are other files inside the Studio installation, and I wonder if there is a way to find the following information from this:

  • BL Category (Like "Brick" or "Plate Modified")
  • LEGO part numbers and colors that exists for a certain design
  • Parts Weight

I don't need any rapidly changing data like price or availability.

Has anyone here done this, or knows a software that does this?

 

Sounds easy? Well, it should have been. I'm not talking about a "Hello, World!" (although it is more or less on the same level for me). The goal was to write a set of three MQTT clients that properly talk with each other and interact nicely.

So I had to learn Python and MQTT on the same day. Should not be an issue after 40 years of programming. But it quickly turned out that the Python library/package for MQTT on Ubuntu was heavily outdated (1.6), and did not supply all the functions the documentation and examples (2.0) asked for. Using pip3 didn't work, as it complained that the package structure was maintained by the OS. In the end, I had to virtualize the python3 system and pip3 the 2.0 package there and run it.

After about three hours, I had the clients working as they should. Yes, I think MQTT is a good base for the next project.

 

The new Eldorado Fortress is listed at €214.99. Is it just me, or is this set much to expensive for what it is? When I saw it, I thought "Maybe €150, €170 tops", and was shocked when I heard the real price.

I know (who doesn't?) that LEGO is not cheap, but this is not a Starwars set, it is 100% their own IP.
