Freeboard Puns

I see lots of ships on here with a pretty high freeboard. Most of my ships have 1-2 meters. By the time I had all my armor it just sits so low to the point I worry about it sinking. How do you guys manage this?

Now that you can preorder foot hooks from Freeboard again and they should be shipping in May in Europe. Is anyone else considering adding them to a Atlas?

Hi everyone,

Long time lurker here, first post.

A while ago i bought a seaboard block secondhand, seemed fun and it was a really good offer, but then i realized that without one of the blocks or a specific app in windows or IOs phone (neither of which i have or want to have) i could not change the settings for it, not even the mode or sensitivity of any of the dimensions.

So i dove into the developer material and figured that i could do something with what one axoloti user did, but take it further and make it standalone. Aaaaand after a pair of sleepless nights i got it working properly, so here it is!!

Freeboard Blocks beta version

Last time I tried to skate was about 20yrs ago and I could never get the hang of it since I kept falling off. But years later, I discovered snowboarding and loved the fact my feet were locked in and I could not fall off. But alas, it's been years since I snowboarded, so I then just got the OneWheel Pint. Didn't take me too long to learn to ride it and the carving has been great. However, it does not do slides and such like snowboarding. Hence, I plan on getting a freeboard call the Freebord 5-X to mimic snowboarding much better.

However, the freeboard is a skateboard with 2 additional wheels. My concern then is, how easy would it be to learn how to ride this since I was never good with a normal skateboard.

Has anyone ever learned how to skate after riding a OneWheel? I would like to hear how your experience went.

I've just started working on a fork of this, with a few minor changes(Calculated settings use spreadsheet =expression syntax, a new setting type "target" for two-way data sources, and eventually CSS variable based theme support and more standard widgets).

So far it seems pretty much unbeatable, there's not much like it. Everything else is either tied to a specific server(I'm integrating everything, editor and all, into a python app, and I definitely don't want to go the microservices route), closed source, hard to embed or extend.

One issue is the jQuery UI, I always hear mixed things about it's long-term future, although it seems hard to imagine that it would stop being supported by new browsers or anything. There's also Knockout, and jQuery itself, which a lot of people seem to suggest against, but I'm guessing they're here to stay too.

I think the jQ UI can probably be removed fairly easily, I'm not even sure what it's doing there to be honest.

Freeboard itself seems to have been pretty much silent for two years, aside from closing a few pull requests, but the code is pretty small and easy and leaves a lot to the libraries, so it's probably maintainable by an individual.

Any other relevant concerns or better approaches I should know about?

Edit: No more JQ UI, I gave it the yeet and everything still seems to be working, plus two way data sources were surprisingly easy to implement.

EDIT: Someone asked about how two-way data sources actually work, but I think they got spam filtered.

In my fork, there is a new type of setting called "target". It autocompletes almost exactly like a source, and it creates calculatedSettingChanged notifications just like one, but in your plugin code, you have access to self.dataTargets, which is an dict of functions, one for each data target setting, which sets the value of the data target.

It does this with a simple assignment statement. To handle this, you make your data source data be a proxy object, which intercepts any attempt to set it's keys, and handle it appropriately there, and calling the update callback.

You can't actually ever directly overwrite a data sou itself, that would break the whole proxy object model, so the datasources object just won't let you do that from in a proxy.

If a data target setting contains an = sign, or a parentheses, we assume that it is a complete arbitrary javascript function that you want to call

Like this and this.

I'm sure there is a valid reason to always be on the edge of tipping and sinking but I've no idea what.

i was the original beta tester and pro for leiftech. Im now working with a new comapny called drftb that is making a hub motor electric freeboard similar to the summerboard. it will be sold as a kit that can be connected to any standard freeboard. this company isn't going to shy away from freeboarding like summerboard/leiftech. those guys always rip people off and sell fragile products. they also are ripping off the real freeboarding community. i call all summerboard customers to join a company not run by f***ing morons! and embraces freeboarding AND electric freeboarding(not my company i just dislike summerboard. follow @sjsfb on insta or twitter for more info on the indiegogo

Kremlin's freeboard especially at the middle of the ship looks really low for some reason. The seaworthiness would seem questionable, and that combined with the high barbettes make the ship look goofy and "fake". I'm fine with some what-if ships, but Kremlin in particular looks not very seaworthy or stable.

It's really weird because the Sovetsky Soyuz before it has much higher freeboard and barbette that aren't as huge.

Freeboard is a piece of software like just about nothing else. Without any code, you add a "data source", then configure widgets to watch for changes. It almost has a Spreadsheet-like feel, but it was just missing one thing: A standardized way to handle input widgets as well as outputs.

I've fixed that, and in the process added a lot of other new features, including a full theme customizer embedded right in the interface, which even lets you upload images and sound effects, to be stored as Base64, directly in the board definition file! (Thanks to JSON-Editor having that capability).

One cool thing about it, is that somehow, it manages to run perfectly fine right from the local filesystem, you can literally just download the repo and open it in a browser, no scary untrusted code to deal with. Bug labs has done some amazing work here!

As an example, the workflow for making a simple calculator might be:

1. Create a Scratchpad Variables widget, name it vars
2. Create two Slider widgets, set their Data Target to `datasources['vars']['a']` and `datasources['vars']['b']` respectively. Moving the slider will set those variables.
3. It's perfectly fine that they don't exist yet, widgets create their data targets if they aren't there.
4. Create a Gauge widget and customize the look, then set it's data target to `=datasources['vars']['a']+datasources['vars']['a']`. Data sources use spreadsheet-style =expressions to mark that you aren't just entering literal data.
5. Move the sliders and watch the gauge
6. Download your board definition, upload it when you want to use it again, or embed the whole thing in a proper server.

Datasource plugins are easy to make, for interacting with real IoT platforms, and basically just use a Proxy object to watch for anyone trying to set the data keys.

One thing I still have an issue with, though, is the word "datasources", which seems to be a bit long, but I'm not sure if adding "ds" as an alias is worth it.

This is an unaffiliated fork, It's not perfectly stable or code reviewed or anything, but I think I have the basic framework figured out, and I think it already succeeds at being usable by non-coders.

I just watched another video of TREY the explainer: https://youtu.be/hWAKTtTHvbs

This one on the Corfu Island Creature.

Although it is possible that it is a misidentified freeboard fender I see a few problems. The biggest problem is that from one side you can see bubbles coming out of a hole, so if it is a freeboard fender it would need to have a hole in it for some reason while the rest of it is undamaged:

Another problem is the bending, they don't seem to bend in the same way and you can clearly see that the pattern on the side of the freeboard fender is missing on the creature: https://preview.redd.it/75uoa05jo9551.png?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=fb60b6c2690868801db943c57f8c07e68ead6b65

, perhaps someone else can give their thoughts on this explanation as well, but I think this explanation is unlikely.

About the second explanation of an undiscovered species related to the manatee I can't say enough, but listening to it, it sounds as a likely possibility to me. Perhaps not necessarily undiscovered, maybe it is a known species in a different habitat?

Hi there :)

Photos and timestamp

I have a a IKBC MF87 keyboard, and a Mistel Freeboard numpad. Both have custom spacers, and of course the originals are included as well. The silver one is stock, with cherry reds.

The acrylic glows very nicely, and is mostly a neutral color :)

I also have a rainbow-y pexon pc usb micro-b cable for sale.

• Silver IKBC MF87 - 100 GBP
• Silver Mistel Freeboard - 70 GBP
• Pexon cable (rainbow) - 10 GBP

Shown keycaps are included, the rest of the stock keycaps for the numpad are included as well, as shown in the photo

I'm willing to ship anywhere so long as you pay for shipping from the UK.

Thanks for looking!

• GMK Laser - £250 + shipping Sold!

I originally purchased Cyberdeck, Mitowaves, Blocknet, Spacebars, and Gaijin. I have cannibalized those various sets to cover my Melody96, and am selling all the remnants, all shown in the pictures below. It's enough to cover a tenkeyless nicely + some extras, or anything smaller. I am quite loathe to sell it in parts, however ($$). The keycaps in the pictures are unused or very lightly used (less than 3 hours). To be clear, I am selling ONLY the keycaps in the picture.

• IKBC MF87 - £100 + shipping

Black IKBC MF87, rock solid, in great condition. I modded the switches, they are MX RGB Clears, with a few linear grey RGB switches (spacebar, backspace, etc.) Stock was RGB Blacks, I switched out the stems and the springs. I also painted the plate white, so as to reflect more light :). I also cut an acrylic piece to replace the aluminium sides spacer - stock spacer will be included, of course.

• DDmicro kit - £100 + shipping

Had this keyboard together for awhile, recently desoldered because I wanted my custom switches back for my 96er. In perfect shape, everything works, I just didn't use it as much as I thought I would.

• 2x Mistel Freeboard Aluminium Numpad - £70 + shipping (each)

No ugly orange acrylic! I laser cut some more neutral colored acrylic (very light purple, nice glow under lights). Original spacers will still be included if you want them (I wouldn't :P). Silver one is stock, with MX RGB Reds. Black one is modded, white plate, MX RGB housing with Kailh pro purple stems and gold 60g springs, stickered and lubed with krytox.

• Artisans

HKP / Hot keys project Pharaoh, blue/gold - £25 + shipping

Gen.s Gem - £20 + shipping

Not sure what to say - both very nice, in perfect shape. I just think I'm not an artisan guy :(

Thanks for looking :)

EDIT: Sorry for how messy the desk is - I'm in the middle of a move!

Does anyone use freeboard.io for server monitoring? Is it any good?
