Since February, I've designed and built the world's fastest RC airplane in my college dorm, and that’s not clickbait. Reaper has a 5kg carbon-fiber frame, 250N turbojet, and flies at 500mph. New to X and will be going through the whole build here in the coming days.

@AkuilaDok@bzwithalaak That's sums it, have met some devs that fail in system design concepts and also realized most ai models perform bad on logic but better on design side(ui). U only gonna get good on logic if you worked on a number of projects eg (backends)
@AkuilaDok@bzwithalaak But CS does not equate to programming , a CS grad could be better off in low level programming such as embedded systems. But when comes to like web dev where new concept are adopted every quarter, you better off self teaching yourself. And after grad, still have to learn..

🇨🇳 Problem with oil refineries?
Just buy a new oil refinery on Alibaba for $45,000.
Or 5 for $35,000 each.
Chinese manufacturing adjusts to global demand quickly. Lmao.
@MyLordBebo They got LNG modules that can be floated from Japan/China or South Korea and install it in 10days and up and running in 2 weeks.
How I know? I worked on these as an independent contractor years ago.
A startup spent 18 months building a product for Nigeria
launched it, got press, investors were happy, the team was proud
then something happened that nobody in that office saw coming...
When I set up a new Hetzner VPS first thing I do install Tailscale and once I'm in via Tailscale lock down the firewall to only accept web traffic on HTTPS 443 for Cloudflare IPs and SSH 22 for Tailscale IP
That way nobody can get in
I know I keep repeating this but it should be basics of setting up a new VPS
So basic IMHO it should be part of any VPS service to default install Tailscale and enable it so it's the only way to get in
Why?
A VPS server is just like your laptop or destop computer but now imagine if it's connected to the entire internet with 8 billion people that can access it and try hack it
You want to only have it accessible to you
And if you want to host a website on your VPS (like I do), you should only let Cloudflare access your VPS so it can stand in front and block any hack attempts
Never expose a VPS to the world wide web which realistically is the world WILD web
someone built an OPENSOURCE MILITARY RADAR that tracks multiple targets up to 20km away
its called AERIS-10, full github repo schematics, PCB layouts, FPGA code, python GUI, everything under MIT license
commercial phased array radar starts at $250,000. military surplus is $10,000-50,000 but its decades old analog junk with no electronic beam steering
this does electronic beam steering at 10.5GHz, pulse compression, doppler processing, multi-target tracking on a real time map
two versions: 3km range with patch antenna array, 20km range with 32x16 slotted waveguide array and GaN AMPLIFIERS
custom frequency synthesizer, 16 front-end chips, FPGA doing all signal processing, GPS and IMU for ACCURATE target coordinates when the platform moves
all gerber files included so you can order the PCBs and build it yourself
one person built what defense contractors charge a quarter MILLION for and open sourced it
@JoeDudim@atemK93 It was never effective, Nasir siege had air cover but the base was over run. SSPDF AF was not hitting strategic military assets, you need intel on the ground to coordinate that. I think Uganda played major role in our air assaults, which could have led to the pause: "Elections"
