Kerbal Space Program: F/A 18

Thu, 27 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Click to view the video. I recreated McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet in #kerbal_space_program. I spent a lot of time on the realistic navigation lights. The green light strips are Formation Lights, which supposedly help when flying in formation at night. They are green on both sides.

I got myself a Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator PO-14 Sub. This is my first little bit of music I made with it.

Time lapse of a hibernating bear

Bear Park (Bärenpark) Bern has set up a Webcam in one of the winter dens of one of their bears, Björk.

This web cam was just a static image that changes every half minute or so. When I discovered this sometimes in January I started saving that image every 30 seconds and have been doing that for 2 months now. I have over 182'000 snapshots of that camera (over 5.4 GB). I compiled them into this video. Using sunrise-sunset.org I figured at which times it is dark, so I removed all these photos.

Their hibernation period has now ended and they're outside more often.

This is the script I used to compile the video:

#!/bin/bash
set -e
cd ~/drive/bear-webcam
i=0
rm -f output/input.txt
mkdir -p output/
dates=`find -name 'baerenpark*' -type f -printf "%TY-%Tm-%Td\n" | sort | uniq`
for day in $dates;do
    out="bear-$day.mp4"
    echo "seeing if $out needs updating"
    sun=`curl -s "https://api.sunrise-sunset.org/json?lat=46.948&lng=7.459&formatted=0&date=$day"`
    sunrise=`echo "$sun"|jq -r .results.civil_twilight_begin`
    sunset=`echo "$sun"|jq -r .results.civil_twilight_end`
    files=`find -name 'baerenpark*' -type f -newermt "$sunrise" ! -newermt "$sunset"|sort -V`
    if [ -e "output/$out" ];then
        for f in $files;do
            if [ "$f" -nt "output/$out" ];then
                rm "output/$out"
                break
            fi
        done
    fi
    if [ ! -e "output/$out" ];then
        cat $files | ffmpeg -f image2pipe -vcodec mjpeg -i - -c:v libx264 -r 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p output/$out
    fi
    echo "file '$out'" >> output/input.txt
done
rm -f output/bear.mp4
ffmpeg -f concat -i output/input.txt -c copy output/bear.mp4

Click to view the video. Did you ever want emojis in your terminal? Do you find yourself constantly writing the same text snippets?

With Tmux-text-macros you can easily save and recall these inside Tmux. Powered by fzf the search allows you to easily search macros by content or description. It comes with all emojis, box-drawing characters and block characters, as well as a few emoticons.

Now I can use all the emojis when writing this blog. 🐦🐻 🕴💀

Cava on Termux

Click to view the video. I compiled cava for Termux. It looks so good. This is also my first ever attempt at creating a Cinemagraph like this, so I'd appreciate some feedback.
