Communication between Raspberry Pis on different networks
  • There are free IoT cloud solutions to send and receive data and that work with MQTT protocol for this purpose.

  • Lunar Halo
  • I used an iPhone XS

  • Me too!

  • Lunar Halo

    It is a bad quality photo taken from a mobile. The circle that surrounds the moon is formed by the refraction of the moonlight when passing through ice crystals present in the atmosphere. At times surrounding the moon itself you can see a circular rainbow (they all are, but we see only half of the solar rainbow). This phenomenon is called a lunar halo.

    Triangulum (M33) Untracked
  • Thanks a lot!

  • Triangulum (M33) Untracked
  • Hi!

    nice photo 👏🏻 I have just downloaded Siril, and I want to do something similar to this, but I have two Siril related questions because I think they are a lot of photos to stack and I am not sure my Macbook can do the job:

    • How long did it take you to process it?
    • Did you use a "normal" laptop or do you have a powerful graphic card?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Question - Tips for Polar aligment

    Tonight, if the clouds allow me, I wanted to take pictures with my Skywatcher Star Adventurer mini. As I'm going to set up a small telescope (a Celestron C90) I need a very good alignment to the Polar so that I don't have any traces left. Tips to make an alignment as accurate as possible? Thank you

    Problem with conda
  • I don't use conda actually (I did in the past), but I think you could try:

    conda shell.bash activate project0

    You must see the paths and config used to activate the environment. Check all is fine.

    Source: https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/dev-guide/deep-dives/activation.html

  • Problem with conda
  • What command did you use to activate project0?

  • Full moon - January 24
  • I think it is an ideal traveling companion... small, light but good enough to enjoy the night sky

  • Full moon - January 24
  • Thanks! I am saving for a 9-10" newtonian with a EQ6 mount

  • Full moon - January 24

    My first photo with a telescope. It is not a incredible shoot but I am very proud of it.

    Can I email or text myself through Python or bash?
  • Yes, you can. Python has Email package to manage email through STMP protocol. I use it daily in my scripts. Attached link is a tutorial of Real Python:

  • Wolf hunting could return to western Europe under EU plan
  • I hope this change doesn't be approved. Wolves are critical for a healthy ecosystem.

  • NewsWave - An RSS feed agregator
  • Yes, the idea is use in the future Output.status as a way to route to different pages depending of the model result. For example, when /list endpoint is called I could return 1 to show the feed list, and 2 to render a page with a message and suggestions when the feed list is empty. The same with negative numbers but for errors.

    I have developed a project in #python to follow #RSS feeds and send an email with daily news. It is more an excuse to practice python, git and design patterns than a real project, but feel free to use it if you find it useful. Suggestions, opinions and feedback are welcome.

    Looking for tutorials
  • Fluent Python is another good book to learn Python. It is very clear and it has a lot of examples.

  • Install PIP for Pythonista 3.x
  • Thanks! I will try it. I was an user of this sw but recently I have moved to Pyto as it has more libraries (OpenCV, etc), pip support and a newer Python version. Pythonista has its pros too.

  • CHART: THE COMPLETELY HACKABLE AMATEUR RADIO TELESCOPE
  • I find it very interesting and I want to do one with my kids. The guide is good from a step by step point of view about how to make one, but I think a couple of examples about what kind of data can someone get with it and what can someone expect to "view" could be very helpfull too

  • New community - Generative AI

    mander.xyz Generative AI - Mander

    A community about news, questions, development and all related subjects of Generative AI

    I have just created a new community in Lemmy about Generative AI like GPT or Midjourney. The subjects are diverse: from news to development

    Microsoft is bringing Python to Excel
  • After preview it will be a paid subscription additional to Office365, the same strategy as Office Copilot. I hate this policy of pay for a product then still paid for more functionalities... at the end of the year you will have paid a lot.

    Microsoft says Python in Excel will be included in a Microsoft 365 subscription during the preview, but “some functionality will be restricted without a paid license” after the preview ends.

  • Writing Python like it’s Rust
  • I fully agree with the post. Except for a fast prototyping or a short personal script where it could be not necessary, type hint is a must. The subject is not only to guarantee that the program now runs without errors, but it will be still working right in the future too, even after a developer (either the original or other) make changes to the code.

  • BUG - Preferences are randomly ignored

    Since the last update, half of the times I open the app I see All posts but in my preferences I have set Subscribed. The rest of the times it woks fine.

    I want to thanks one more time to the developers who are making this great app 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I really love it!

    donno2048/pygoto: Use goto in Python
  • Hi,

    I have used goto instruction a lot when I started to program in Basic ( an Amstrad CPC 🥹). In this context goto had logic. But in modern languages like python I think it is a very bad idea:

    • Understand the logic is more complex
    • Functions and methods are a better and more powerfull alternative
    • It is dangerous: add or remove a new line of code could have bad consequences

    Regards

  • [BUG] Errors in v0.1.0

    I have just installed the last version and it comes with some errors:

    • I can't set NEW as default option for sort posts in config
    • I can't see communities wich I am subscripted
    • When I search the communities section is always empty
