https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/index.html Here’s the September blog post Hugo en-us Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260930/index.html Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260930/index.html 　For some reason, my post about a wideband receiver on 𝕏 went viral. It was just a video showing me using it—I’ve posted similar videos many times before. I’m wondering what exactly about it set people off so much. While there aren’t many replies to my Re-X (Tweet) or Likes,” the few that are there aren’t exactly positive—or rather, they’re a bit mixed—and that made me feel a little sad. For example, even though the link to the instructions was practically the entire post, someone who seemed to be a college student commented, “Please tell me how to do it,” and regarding a system based on an Android smartphone, someone else said something like, “I have a higher-level license—I can’t do it because I have an iPhone.”With the first one, I think, “If you want to know how to do it, why don’t you just look it up?” And with the second, I want to ask, “You don’t actually need that certification, and there’s no need to give reasons why you won’t do it—and anyway, that photo is from a different phone, right?I wonder what kind of phone that is?” Well, there’s a common saying: “People who give reasons for not doing something—or for why they can’t do it—won’t do it even if those reasons disappear.” Anyway, since it went viral for the first time in a while, I got a little excited and ended up reading all the comments. But I’m glad the wideband receiver I worked so hard to build went viral. https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260929/index.html Tue, 29 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260929/index.html 　I thought it might be a good idea to write about current events on my blog, so I considered writing my thoughts on the title match between Takuma Inoue and Tenshin Nasukawa. But I figured it wouldn’t be very interesting coming from an amateur, so I decided it would be better to write about my area of expertise instead… TrinityThe release binary has also been updated slightly to version 1.0.5. The main improvement is the optimization of the aspect ratio in landscape mode, which eliminates unnecessary scrolling and allows the jog dial to be operated properly. Additionally, the bottom portion of the title bar at the top of the screen no longer appears cut off and is now displayed correctly. The update primarily consists of bug fixes. https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260928/index.html Mon, 28 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260928/index.html 　The other day, my wife and I went to a very ordinary, run-of-the-mill supermarket. At the very least, it wasn’t the kind of place like Seijo Ishii or Motomachi Union. The store focuses mainly on fresh produce, such as meat and fish. There, one item caught my eye: a package of sardines for sashimi. I think it contained about five fish and cost less than 400 yen—a reasonable price. Sashimi is a dish that demands the right cooking environment more than it does culinary technique. Fish caught in the seas somewhere in Japan are brought to port, taken to the market, and auctioned off—where supermarket buyers likely make their purchases—before ending up on store shelves. That’s where the real challenge begins. The general public—ordinary people—buy it and prepare it in their home or restaurant kitchens to eat with their families or serve to customers. In other words, it simply cannot work unless a complete cold chain and the customers’ culinary literacy form a seamless whole. https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260927/index.html Sun, 27 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260927/index.html 　I’ve finished hacking all the equipment I have on hand. Since my funds are a bit tight, I’ve been working on ways to make better use of my existing peripherals for a while now. Once you clearly define what you want to do, all you have to do is give instructions to AI, and it’ll handle the rest. It all depends on how you give instructions to AI. The AI I’m currently using offers a free tier. Of course, if I had the money, I could pay to use it, but as I mentioned above, I don’t have the funds. So I’m sticking to the free tier—that’s right, I’m a free-to-play guy.”The fear of not paying is that you’ll hit the token limit before a task is complete, and it takes time for the tokens to recharge (on Claude code, which I use often, the recharge time is about 3 hours). On the other hand, if you break tasks down into small pieces, you end up in the absurd situation where you hit the limit even within those small tasks (which I consider “atomic”). https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260927_01/index.html Sun, 27 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260927_01/index.html 　It was being held near my house—or rather, right next to the library I always go to—so I decided to check it out. I’m grateful to my wife for making me a sandwich even though this was a last-minute afternoon plan. If I recall correctly, I attended the first event at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, where astronaut Mamoru Mohri served as director. Back then, the contestants’ desks were set up in a row, so they could work on their projects there or chat with visitors—and I actually had the chance to talk with this year’s winner, Mr. Morinaga, quite a bit at that time. https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260926/index.html Sat, 26 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260926/index.html 　Lately, I’ve been really into building websites, and as I was thinking about where it all began, a conversation with AI led me to tripod.com. Since I’m a PC enthusiast, I got into the Internet relatively early on, but it seems this tripod.com really took off around 1998. I posted my work on that site around 2000. And apparently, I had even been running 2026/4 until quite recently. If I’d been lucky, I might have been able to salvage it, but it’s too late now. https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260925/index.html Fri, 25 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260925/index.html Old-timers like me use various services without paying a dime. I’d love to pay, but since I’m unemployed, I have no income—you can’t squeeze blood from a stone. Even so, I think Claude Code is a great site. As I set up this blog, the service I use the most is “GitLab.”If “GitLab” were just a place to host Git repositories, I could get by with 10GB—since my output is pretty limited, that wouldn’t be a problem. But I never expected to hit the paid quota for CI/CD’s Runner. Well, come to think of it, it makes perfect sense: as long as I’m using computing resources to run Runner, I’m bound to hit that limit… https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260924/index.html Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260924/index.html 　I’m using gitlab as my Git repository.gitlab has a slight edge over github when it comes to CI/CD environments. With that in mind, I’ve set up remote environments for both hugo and Android, but my heavy use of hugo is on the verge of exhausting my free quota, and I’ve already received a warning from the system. Since I want to release a build on Android, I’d like to set up CI/CD.AI I consulted this guide. It advised using runner in a local environment. After some trial and error, I set up the environment at Android, and I also got hugo—the culprit behind the resource drain—running locally. In terms of speed, the SaaS environment takes 12–3 minutes, while this one takes 4 minutes, making it more than three times as efficient. This is definitely usable. https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260923/index.html Wed, 23 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260923/index.html 　X When I’m browsing sites like this, I sometimes find myself thinking about the debate over science and math education. Well, basically, the discussion forum (if you can even call it that?) at X is pretty irresponsible, so at first glance it’s entertaining. They do mention things like where to secure the funding—or whatever you want to call it—to expand science and math education, and I find myself thinking, “Oh, that makes sense.” https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260922/index.html Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260922/index.html 　The other day, news broke that a 58-year-old had been accepted into Kyoto University, prompting reactions from X users such as, “He should make way for the younger generation,” and “No, you should be able to start learning at any age.”LTV: Lite Time Value There’s a saying that goes like this. The former comment fits this saying, while the latter amounts to risk-killing. Since it’s already said that Japanese people don’t retrain enough, this might be a heartwarming story as a counterpoint to that. If this were a case of entering a bachelor’s program starting in the third year, the story might be different. To begin with, the admission requirements are different, so this argument doesn’t hold water. I haven’t looked into the specific circumstances of his admission, nor do I have any particular interest in the matter, so I haven’t followed up on it, but it did make me take another look at LTV… https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260921/index.html Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260921/index.html 　As an unemployed, penniless old-timer, I have no choice but to be very selective about my streaming subscriptions. The ones I do have are Apple One and Amazon Prime (hereinafter referred to as “Amazon Prime”). The biggest benefit of Amazon Prime for an old-timer like me is that I can watch the early-morning live broadcasts of MLB. This is a real lifesaver for an old-timer like me—who wakes up in the early morning, or rather, late at night due to insomnia—it’s practically a social welfare benefit. As I get older, I’ve come to realize that I only watch “sports programs” anymore. Even then, I don’t watch the ones that are overly staged by advertising agencies, like the Olympics. I only watch the ones that simply and matter-of-factly cover the regular season. In that context, the live broadcast at MLB is a real lifesaver. On the other hand,NPB gets very little airtime, whether on terrestrial TV or BS. As an old-timer, I happen to be a Yokohama DeNA BayStars fan, but sometimes they’ll show games at TVK, or if I’m lucky, I can catch them on Niconico Static Images. Given all that, the broadcast at MLB is truly invaluable. https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260920/index.html Sun, 20 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260920/index.html 　I posted a bunch of stuff about the Trinity system in the Facebook group “RTL-SDR,” and someone commented, “Don’t go showing off.” After that, the “freeloaders” started swarming in. Amid all that, someone who managed to recreate Trinity posted about it and got a ton of “Likes”—more than my original post, lol. Well, if people like that don’t show up, there’s no point in making this, and I can’t show off my skills either, lol. This is nothing more than an expression of my “desire for validation,” lol. Well, I guess all I can do now is keep improving this site as proof that I’ve lived… There was an issue where the jog dial wasn’t working properly, but I fixed it the day before yesterday, so it was just a delay. It seems everything’s fine in the latest version. While I was at it, I asked if it might be better to consolidate the AI and jog dial features, but well, while there’s support for multiple devices at Eye-Catch, the conclusion was, “It’s not really practical…”So, we’ve decided not to implement it this time. https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260919/index.html Sat, 19 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260919/index.html 　The site is gradually taking shape. Well, I still haven’t quite managed to set up SEO yet, so it’s currently in a state where it’s “still showing my old face.” This site does have a strong resemblance to the Maker site. I believe the true purpose of Maker is to present my own works to the world. In other words, I hope people will relate to them, recreate them, and enjoy them together with me. https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260918/index.html Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260918/index.html 　I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve built a website, but I’m making progress little by little. Until now, whether I went hiking or got the hang of using gadgets, I’d just post a quick update on social media, so my information was scattered all over the place. I plan to use this as an opportunity to organize it all.I do wish I’d started this a little sooner, but since this is a pretty elaborate framework, I realize I couldn’t have done it without AI. I hadn’t been doing any writing work for a while, and since I didn’t have a site like this before, I realize I hadn’t written many long pieces lately. Well, I guess I’ll just keep chipping away at it little by little… https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260917/index.html Thu, 17 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260917/index.html 　I’m working on a website for the first time in ages, chipping away at it bit by bit. It has a 1998–2000 vibe to it—after all, almost everything is built with static HTML. But I’m not writing the code by hand; I’m dynamically generating it from markdown. Plus, I’m managing it with Git and using CI/CD for deployment. As part of this process, the system also generates English pages and outputs an llms.txt file. Thanks to this setup, I can convert the site’s content into plain text, feed it to an AI, and have the AI explain the site’s information. This is actually pretty cool—it lets you have the AI answer questions on the site. It’ll be especially useful on Makers, where there are a lot of Q&As about deliverables. https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260915/index.html Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0900 https://teamknox.com/en/life/blog/09/20260915/index.html Is the “give-me-give-me” type a universal phenomenon? A little while ago, I asked an AI if people like that exist overseas too, and it gave me a word that sounded like it, but I’ve forgotten what it was. Oh well, I’ll probably never run into one again, so it’s fine…
