[13:40] schestowitz[13:40] schestowitzGPS is perfect for navigating roads, because that doesnt require much precision. But GPS is only accurate to several meters, which means that it is unsuitable for applications that require more precise positioning. GPS RTK (real-time kinematic) systems can achieve much greater accuracy, but they are complex and require a subscription to a correction service. Viktor Kurusa needed accurate positioning for [13:40] schestowitz his robotic lawn mower, but didnt want to resort to GPS RTK. Instead, he used a few Arduino boards to enable UWB ranging for centimeter-scale positioning.

[13:41] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-drewdevault.com | Conciseness [13:41] schestowitz[13:41] schestowitzConciseness is often considered a virtue among hackers and software engineers. FOSS maintainers in particular generally prefer to keep bug reports, questions on mailing lists, discussions in IRC channels, and so on, close to the point and with minimal faff. Its not considered impolite to skip the formalities quite the opposite. So: keep your faffery to a minimum. A quick thanks! at the end of a [13:41] schestowitz discussion will generally suffice. And, when someone is being direct with you, dont interpret it as a slight: simply indulge in the blissful freedom of a discussion absent of faffery.

[14:16] schestowitz[14:16] schestowitzEarlier I described the Plausibly Deniable DataBase (PDDB). Its a filesystem (like FAT or ext4), combined with plausibly deniable full disk encryption (similar to LUKS or VeraCrypt) in a batteries included fashion. Plausible deniability aims to make it difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that additional secrets exist on the disk, even in the face of forensic evidence.
