Just here to say as an unproud American that the vigor and strength and TRUTH with which you are speaking is exactly what is missing here. If it doesn't affect them, they are willing to look past it, and the country is corroded and corrupted because of it. People like you give Earth the chance to be a great place

Just got my first FPV drone; the BetaFPV Cetus RTF kit. It's a tiny little thing, but it sure does pack in a lot of fun!! Shipping times are terrible, so expect a wait if you get one. Also, the "manua (kbin.social)

Just got my first FPV drone; the BetaFPV Cetus RTF kit. It's a tiny little thing, but it sure does pack in a lot of fun!! Shipping times are terrible, so expect a wait if you get one. Also, the "manual" and "sport" modes were harder to stay in one spot than manual, given you've put any time at all in a simulator. Overall happy with the thing, ready to recharge and get some more flights in. After I get a little better, I want to see if I can't put a small action camera on there and turn it into a cinewhoop!

I also want to start hacking, and put a camera+vtx in an RC rock crawler, using the goggles that came with it to get some scale rock crawling in :)

What open source project(s) are you working on? by lens_r in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

I have a few projects I switch between based on how much time I have and where my interests lie.

My most recent is a from-scratch compiler for a made-up language (MIT), Intercept, written in C with no dependencies (apart from libc, of course). I'm really proud of this one, and have even been lucky enough to work with other people on it.

And then there's my text editor (MIT), which is an homage to Emacs. I just have learned so much from Emacs and like it so much that I had to make my own. At this point it's got a working SDL2 and OpenGL backend, as well as tree-sitter syntax highlighting, and, of course, is extensible through LITE LISP, the built-in programming language.

Finally, my pride and joy, LensorOS (GPLv3). I started this project when I first started learning C++, and through it I have learned amazing things about how computers actually work, from hardware to kernels to userspace.

Just wanted to say, this is a really good idea for a thread! I really enjoy seeing all these amazing projects from everybody
