  • Recently convinced my dad to buy his first Hanklight. I'm doing my part!

  • Just to add to the other great response, the “D2” pictured above is configured with one ultraviolet emitter and one “deep” red emitter which is not an easy combination to find. And there is a wide range of emitters to choose from based on preference.

  • @flashlight I may have overheated my brass TS10. The battery wrap shrank.

  • Driving Engagement?

  • Do alkaleaks hold up better in the fridge?

  • Moisture could be a problem, found this manufacturer faq:

    Energizer Non-Rechargeable Batteries: Frequently Asked Questions Is it a good idea to store batteries in a refrigerator or freezer? No, storage in a refrigerator or freezer is not required or recommended for batteries produced today. Cold temperature storage can in fact harm batteries if condensation results in corroded contacts or label or seal damage due to extreme temperature storage

  • Convoy Design Concepts with 50mm TIR

  • Simon mentioned these represent 3 lights, hopefully including a single-cell mechanical switch light. There appears to be one e-switch single-cell with charging, and unclear if the 2-cell has tail, electronic, or both.

    Convoy Design Concepts with 50mm TIR

  • Best Pocket Throwers?

  • This s6 config is awesome value and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, especially running in 18350 mode.

    Found this beamshot on the other site but I can also say from personal experience that theres a nicely defined hotspot for a tube light.

  • The best new science fiction books of October 2023

  • A posthumous sequel to 1984? Sounds a bit dystopian to me!

    Then again I enjoyed Grendel, a retelling of Beowulf from a different point-of-view, so perhaps Julia could be enjoyed in the same way.

  • Best Pocket Throwers?

  • I also still like the older Thrunite catapult v1 which preceded Wurkkos’s ts11. It has reasonable output and good runtime for its size, but ts11 can be found for cheaper and has anduril and aux with a possibly slightly worse driver.

  • Best Pocket Throwers?

  • How about Mankerlight MC13 II with SBT90.2 ($110 USD) emitter or sft40 ($65)?

    http://mankerlight.com/mankerlight-mc13-ii-90-2/

    It’s a larger 18350 light that twists open to 18650. The TIR is similar to Thrunite Catapult v1 and possibly Wurkkos ts11.

    .

    A 21700 tube was also released as part of a bundle or here: https://www.killzoneflashlights.com/products/manker-21700-tube-for-mc13-ii-e14-iv.

    I don’t have this light but it seems like OK value for the higher price (for very short bursts of throw, not sustained).

  • Lemmy 0.19 updates

  • Agreed. My copy lost this documentation link in the original which gives more detail about the horizontal scaling: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/horizontal_scaling.html.

    It seems really straightforward (which is a good thing), each backend Lemmy_server handles incoming requests and also pulls from a shared queue of other federation work.

  • Lemmy 0.19 updates

  • Time zones are an endless source of frustration, this one doesn’t sound too bad though:

    Going forward, all timestamps in the API are switching from timestamps without time zone (2023-09-27T12:29:59.113132) to ISO8601 timestamps (e.g. 2023-10-29T15:10:51.557399+01:00 or Z suffix). In order to be compatible with both 0.18 and 0.19, parse the timestamp as ISO8601 and add a Z suffix if it fails (for older versions).

  • 10 hours until Brushed Titanium Ts10 with RGB

  • Oh sorry I mixed that up, the Wurkkos rep called it “bead-blasted” but that sounds more like stonewashed than brushed.

    There were also some alternate finishes for the previews, maybe one will make it into production.

  • 10 hours until Brushed Titanium Ts10 with RGB

  • Real RGB? Does this mean we can now control the color?

    That’s right, check out https://lemmy.world/post/3287635 for some pics.

    I was confused about the engraving but I like your idea to ask for “no engraving” as the option. Only the first 30 get a custom one so maybe everyone else will have the logo engraving.

  • Problem finding flashlights for camping...

  • Olight Obulb looks good for kids. Max 55 lumens and sustains close to that for 3 hours (review), waterproof and with a kid-friendly appearance. $20 on amazon currently.

    These don’t provide much illumination but the Niteize rechargeable glow sticks are good kid lights too.

  • Convoy T3: Almost perfect semi-custom EDC flashlight

  • replaceable

    This is a big part of why I like Convoy, they’re relatively inexpensive enough to have a few backups for the inevitable ones that get lost.

  • Bloom filters: real-world applications

  • This data structure uses a 2-dimensional array to store data, documented in this scala implementation: https://github.com/twitter/algebird/blob/develop/algebird-core/src/main/scala/com/twitter/algebird/CountMinSketch.scala. I’m still trying to understand it as well.

    Similar to your idea, I had thought that by using k bloom filters, each with their own hash function and bit array, one could store an approximate count up to k for each key, which also might be wasteful or a naïve solution.

  • Collection so far. At least until my package gets here

  • ts12

    Late reply but now I realize they should have just made a 14500 version of the ts11, even without aux sft40 or W1 would have been neat with this host.

  • @flashlight I may have overheated my brass TS10. The battery wrap shrank.

  • Been looking for a primary source but the manual doesn’t specifically mention candle mode, only tactical strobe

    • Tactical strobe Disorienting strobe light. Can be used to irritate people. Speed is configurable, and the duty cycle is always 33%. Be careful about heat in this mode, if using it for a long time.

    And then other places people mention this also applies to candle mode (like this BLF post).
