Ligra – an open source image projector based off of flea marked parts

I know things evolve over time, but it's very nice to see something "hacker" in the classical sense on the front page here.

It is by the same author who created Ottercast[0] and has apparently been developed during GPN[1], a Chaos Computer Club event in Karlsruhe, Germany that ended two days ago.

I read the name and thought "of course, who else?". They were also involved in hacking "hoverboards", for instance fitting the motors onto bobby cars.

"This repo is very WIP and shall be expanded soon" - why not post it, when the readme is a bit more beefy?

FWIW, I don't think the creator is who posted it.

It's not, I found it interesting only

Given that it's not a Show HN, I would assume the author and the person who posted it are different people.

Meta: there's a tiny typo in the title, "marked" should be "market" (as in flea market). I would suggest simplifying it to "Ligra: open source image projector from flea market parts", or something.

It's “marked” in the original copy

Updated by the owner now.

stills says marked not market

I once built a DIY beamer out of an old overhead projector and an old 1024x768 pixel TFT screen. Basically, I removed the backlight of the screen, used the raw screen instead of the glass table, and put an extremely bright metal halide lamp and several fans into the projector. This was 20 years ago when beamers where quite expensive, and this one cost around 60 EUR. It worked very well, the picture quality was amazing, and I used it for some years. You could also heat an entire room with it!

yeah, it was a genius way of putting into use LCD screens (or even entire laptops) that had burned out backlights.

Could a candle, a pin-hole, and a transparent liquid-crystal display be used to create a shadow LCD phantasmagoria?

Will "Kuberentes" become the next https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EShUeudtaFg ?

How is cluster formed?

The proper name for such thing would be "gobo".

Just too bad about the anti-european image on the github repo.

Dissimulated hate speech against native populations is something I refrain from supporting.

You mean the „Kein Mensch ist illegal“? (Which means „no one is illegal“)

How "no one is illegal" is an anti-european message or "hate speech against native populations" is beyond me.

Please stop with the dissimulated anti-european hate speech that fuels this wave of terror and violence against the native population.

This is a technology board, I will report this article to the admins because hatred should not have a place here.

Arguing for respect for all human beings is not anti-European - it is as European in spirit and values as it could be.

Except if for you, "Europe" was at its best at the time of feudalism.

That is a logical fallacy and you know it.

Let's please keep the hate speech and anti-european ideologies outside of this technological board. Thank you.

You still haven't explained me how that message is anti-european or solicit violence against the native population. That's like saying being pro freedom of religion is like being against Christianity.

Regarding the events in the article you linked: I haven't been following them, but from the look of it it seems the attacker could be very well an Islamic extremist. Being an advocate for immigrants rights doesn't mean someone cannot be also against religious extremists.

This is a technological board, not a place for spreading hate messages under the guise of ignorance or ingenuity.

Let's please keep the talks focused on technology. Without hate speech or anti-european ideologies, thank you.

I agree, and I don't see anti-european ideologies or hate speech anywhere in that repo, thank you for being on the lookout though.
