Yeah I only found out recently because I had thought that it'd been an oddly long amount of time since the last update. Went to check for updates and the button was gone, so I flew over to the github page and saw the announcement lol

Which was discontinued, use Mihon instead, it's an active Tachiyomi fork

Can relate, when I start infodumping or talking in depth about stuff I enjoy I can see their eyes glaze over and they want to leave.

A custom head + rotary valve train, the EJ25 uses standard valves with a standard cam design, this is fine, but rotary valves have their own advantages and disadvantages that I think would be fun to tinker with. Unlike a regular valve, rotary valves don't have springs, therefore they don't experience the "valve float" that standard valves experience at higher RPM's, allowing you to rev to very fast engine speeds. They also give better fuel economy since they are much lower resistance, standard valves have to overcome the force of each spring in order to open, rotary valves are just a hole. Rotary valves are also non-interference, and if I blew the timing belt, it wouldn't destroy the engine

I'd also just like to be able to make shit out of metal, it's a brainworm of mine I've had forever

I've been wanting to learn how to work with metal for a while now, my current long time goal is to get good enough to make a rotary valve train for my Subaru motor. I've been absorbing a lot of information about how engines work and how these parts interact I'm just missing all the practical knowledge for it.

nice, was thinking about this for a while but I hated writing the MD to whatever GUI framework i used, and a lot of the other stuff is either really outdated looking, or just unmaintained

That's a lot more cookie than I intended but I would probably try to do it

Chowing down on the cheapest and shittiest cookies i can find. Don't know how I got the habit but I've definitely eaten 2 dozen packs in a sitting before when I was really stressed

Same but with a Vega APU, also love it when it merges the console screen with whatever was on there bufore suspend and it's just a text graphics rainbow mess

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Kinda weird, is the first gen Vega Apu different enough to not have these problems? Cause I've been pushing that thing hard enough it's starting to have actual hardware faults, very rarely had software related crashes that couldn't be resolved with a temporary kernal rollback

They're all aight, but avoid asus like the plague, they don't last very long and have tons of incompatibilities with linux. I've only had mine for 3 years and it already needs a new mobo as the pci lanes for wifi and bluetooth suddenly died
