Climbing random shit is probably just as fun as the actual gameplay for me, spending ages climbing the wall AC units and walking on the monorail tracks. There is so much broken clipping that doesn't take much to find.

There are multiple implementations, the one often found on linux is glibc, you can find the source code for that online. printf is going to be a small wrapper for vfprintf though, so that is where you will probably find what you are looking for

Fuck, this one got me. I didn't see the watermark. Even looking closely the details don't seem AI, the floppy disks on the table, the cup, the keyboard colouring, the phone wire. Even the numbers on the calendar seem plausible with the bad compression. I hate this doubting every picture I see on the internet

I was here like 4 days ago, funny seeing it on lemmy so soon

I happened to check r/halflife on reddit today and now I feel like I'm going insane

Every time I decide to upgrade my damn computer something like this happens, come on i7-5820K, just a little longer, the prices will drop any time now...

Probably not the right community for this, but I've been searching for a new 2TB SSD for my Thinkpad T14 G1, It's only PCIe gen 3.0, so both are going to be limited by that anyway. I specifically need resonably fast sustained write speeds, and both of these can write at >1GB/s for 15 minutes. The Samsung seems to be the better choice, but I remember them having some data loss issues a while back and that is worrying me, and the P510 is quite new, so not much time for any issues to be found. I can get both of them for the exact same price, which of these is the better pick? The P510 also seems to use a bit more power, so maybe not a good idea for a laptop?

EDIT: Thanks for the help, ended up getting the Samsung 990 pro

That image reminds me of that one HL2 promo art 1000004884

 

Nice AHRPT from tonight (2025-09-08 20-07 UTC). Even without POES there are a couple AVHRRs still receivable on the MetOp satellites. Live decoded with SatDump, 80cm dish, SDRPlay RSP1A SDR.
Main image is AVHRR 543b.

Lots of instruments of these, so I'll spam a bit

Nice article from lego11 on other satellite reception now APT is gone

 

Well, there it goes. Today, the 19th of August 2025, NOAA-15 was decommissioned over svalbard. I didn't manage to get the final APT, but this time meti from the satdump discord (and some others) did, and is the picture attached to this post.
Here is a link to their archive website licensed CC-BY-SA-4.0 received by meti.

Earlier, (the svalbard pass before?) the AVHRR patch cooling was disabled, making the IR channels unusable and white on the APT.

With NOAA-18 and NOAA-19 having been decommissioned earlier, as I have made posts about. This is the end of 137MHz APT, but meteor LRPT is still active, and is planned to continue for many years.

Although old, I found APT fun to receive, with it's rhythmic clicking, and analogue images. If anyone is even in this community maybe post your best APT receptions in the comments.

 

Today, the 13th of August 2025, NOAA-19 was permanently shut down after a battery failure on the 9th. Until the 11th it was still transmitting APT, but on the 12th it only transmitted DSB without HIRS or SEM. On S-band it was also transmitting DSB for a while, then HRPT with only TIP data on night the 13th and this morning.

Since this was unexpected, I didn't get the last APT it was transmitting, or record the shutdown of the satellite, but here is the best APT I have from the day before (the 11th). RIP NOAA-19.

The decommisioning of NOAA-15 was due on the 12th, but was delayed to the week of the 18th on the 11th due to an "anomaly" with NOAA-19.

POES Decommisioning and NOAA-15 delay message
NOAA-19 Decommisioning message

 

This is very sad news, I'm sure many if not all people got into this hobby through APT, It will be sad to see it go. This will leave the 137MHz band with only Meteor LRPT for weather images going forward.

 

At about 17:40 UTC today NOAA-18 was permanently shut down. This is the last APT image it was transmitting, you can see where it stops. I recorded this using an openwebrx station because it was too far north for me to receive. Thanks to the openwebrx server for letting me record this event: http://sa2kng.ddns.net:8073/

It often overcorrects, like not every shitpost really needs a title that sounds like a news article. But for some really clickbaity YouTubers (most) it makes the titles much more usable. The titles are submitted by users, so if the streamer is very small there might be no one to write the titles.

It's transmitting on 145.8MHz FM in the 2m HAM band

Scan motor current is going up again, maybe it will fix?

 

The telemetry for the NOAA POES satellites is in the TIP data along with the HIRS and SEM data. The content is not known, but the format is.
At least everything on the star nesdis page should be in there, including the AVHRR scan motor current I was looking for.

I wrote a program to dump this telemetry to CSV and found the one column that rose at the same rate as the scan motor should.

It's not a perfect match, NOAA probably multiplies it by some unknown value to find the actual current, and my data is only from when the satellite was overhead, so it's a bit low resolution

official NOAA data:

There are still hundreds of unknown values that I haven't and have no way of figuring out, here is the raw CSV data if anyone is interested: link
It's concatenated from months of data, so it's full of skips, there is a millisecond timestamp on the first column, but it's out a few hours and sometimes corrupted.
Some fields are also super commutated still.
