IT guy here.

Esim or not is unlikely to affect your connection, this is most probably a carrier issue.

If you need 300+GB/month, you should look for a carrier that offers that.

If you are asking for carrier advice in Egypt, then be clear on that in the beginning of the post.

Here is a suggestion on how you can rephrase your question:

Hi, I am looking for a mobile phone plan in Egypt, I need about 300-310GB/Month for a resonable price, I have heard about Airalo, but don’t know much about them…

Any suggestions?

This is a brilliant documentary from 2006, made by the BBC, on the topic of our fear of radiation, at the end it explains the LNT model and talks about the issues with it.

Hacking the Gibson

Stargate: Atlantis

I hated how a show about exploring and pioneering ended with them turning tail and running back home.

Also, I know it is an American show, but sometimes I would just love to see the spacecraft landing someplace other than by a national landmark in the US.

What if they had landed in say Norway, or the Gulf of Finland? The diplomacy would have been very interesting.

Carball for Unreal Tournament 2004.

They completely changed the game to be a proto rocket league game many years before rocket league was a thing.

Thank you, I do have the bash code, I have thought about putting it on github or codeberg.

One thing is missing from it however.

I have zero authentication to add data to the database.

I have thought about adding an API key or so just to make it slightly more secure

I built a water temp monitoring system together with my dad.

It monitors the water temperature at a local swimming hole and publishes it on a website so you can check it before heading down.

I did all of the coding, and had never done anything like that before, but breaking it down into five parts made it decently simple.

We use a raspberry pi zero, a DS18B20 temperature probe, and a webhotel with php and MySQL.

Breaking it down into five parts, the code had to accomplish the following.

1. Get the raw data from the sensor.
2. Format and clean the data to be useful.
3. Error check and possible retry if needed.
4. Send the data to the website.
5. Display the data on the website.

1. Was fairly easy, there are plenty of guides on the internet.
2. This was interesting, the data is sent back from the probe in a variable length, depending on how close to zero C it is, if it reads a negative temp it also shifts where the data is read, I remember it being super annoying to consistently format the data close to zero C so after several attempts I just made the script pretend that the temp was 0c when it got too close to bother with it.
3. Here I remember building an install script that would prepare a database for the system, then I wrote a test submission page for manual testing and proper submission page for the real thing, these were written in PHP. The data was sent from the Raspberry Pi with curl.
4. This took the longest, we went through several versions before settling on the current version.

The script on the Raspberry Pi is written in bash, as we are powering the RPi with a battery through a timer, I configured a systemd service to run on start, run the script, and wait 30 sec then shutdown.

This is to give me time to stop the script if I need to perform maintenance, normally it runs the script, shuts down, and the timer cuts power shortly thereafter.

I didn’t want to consistently cut the power as that might corrupt the file system over time, so we made sure that the Pi shuts down gracefully.

To save power we only run it every 30 min, the power source is a motorcycle battery which lasts about six months.

The internet connection is provided by a kind neighbor who has allowed this probe to connect through their WiFi.

That is terrible, I am glad you got out, where do you live now?

I remember watching the brilliant documentary series “Cold War” by CNN/BBC and one episode had a segment on Radio Free Europe, the American radio station set up to counter the Soviet propaganda radio.

It was obviously also propaganda even if it tried to be more open than the Soviet radio.

Anyway, the guy managing the station spoke about how to gain listeners and build trust.

He put it bluntly, saying that you need “Good, solid news” especially information that people can verify on their own, and mentioned simple stuff like accurate weather reports.

Now this obviously require people to be looking for accurate news, something that seems to be less and less important to more and more people.

In a better world, the proper way to counter propaganda is by consistently providing a more accurate and reliable source of information.

Well there are excellent DACs that you can use with USB-C and Lightning straight from your phone…

What annoys me about the SG universe is how inconsistent the gate addresses are.

They talk about how every gate address in the Milky Way is made up of five coordinates and the sixth glyph is the point of origin.

I am sorry but that sounds smart but is actually dumb.

I love SG1/SGA, but once you start thinking about it, it get annoying.

Ok, so the it is established that the last glyph in the address is the point of origin.

This makes me wonder why the address system is needed at all.

Think about it, if every planet has a different glyph as a point of origin, why not just use that glyph as the entire address?

In Children of the Gods, Til’q asks SG1 where they come from and Daniel draws the Å symbol, which Til’q recognizes, meaning that the Å symbol is only connected to earth.

So ever since then, it was established that a single glyph can be understood as a single planet. So why not use it as the actual address for a specific planet,

Neither.

This is not a question with a single answer out of two.

One could even argue that illegal street racing is worse, since it does not require the use of substances that affects your judgements, and you still do it.

But both shows a complete disregards for other people’s safety.

The public roads are not a playground, if you want to race, find a track, if you want to try and drive drunk, arrange it on private, fenced off land.

I live in the northern suburbs of Stockholm Sweden, so a road trip will probably mean going south.

So lets start going west!

I would hit up Gripsholm castle to say hi to Leo the Lion: https://www.kungligaslotten.se/artiklar-film-360/gripsholms-slott/2018-07-22-legenden-leo.html

Then I’d go down the E4, stopping at a moose park in Småland, stay overnight at my aunts place, keep going south to Blekinge, visit Marinemuseum (the National Maritime museum of Sweden) in Karlskrona, then continue on to Malmö, drive to Denmark, visit Legoland, continue to Germany, and Hamburg, for Miniature Wunderland, then find out where the closed steel works that you can explore are, go there, then find the park with old bucket wheel excavators, check those out, keep going south to Sinsheim and Speyer and checkout the cool technology museums, drive over to France and start heading back home.

We have tried a two state solution for more than half a century, it doesn’t seem to work.

What about a single state solution, lead by a government representing both jews and muslims?

As you may realize, I am not a diplomat nor a politician, I am just an IT guy who don’t know shit.

The location of the plane seems easy enough to proove, put the flight number into Flightradar24, and set the time to when the meal was served.

I would like to know what aircraft was used on the flight, I could see an A380 having trouble finding a suitable airport on the path north, but planes can turn around.

Anything that relies on external factors for flagging AI images is doomed to fail.

There will quickly be tools created to strip the metadata from the image, or to create AI pictures but skipping adding the blockchain stuff

DRM for music is largely a thing of the past.

As to why it ever existed, company executives, they saw piracy and wanted to try and stop it, thats it.

DRM for music was never really effective.

For most of Android’s existance you have been able to sideload apps, now if that won’t be possible any more, I’d expect that the EU will implement the same demand against Alphabet as they did against Apple:
