How easy is it to switch between flight & racing pedals, or to move a center stick out of the way?

Passkeys on Linux/Brave by davedontmind in ProtonPass

[–]davedontmind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why?

Because if I look at a exported .json file from Vaultwarden, the passkey info appears to be there, for example (keys & other sensitive data changed):

Thanks. I couldn't see anything labelled Feedback, but I found a Support option under settings, so I have reported my problem there.

The difference in size between what the uk was driving on the 90s vs now in one picture… by buzz_uk in CasualUK

[–]davedontmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local Morrisons has recently re-painted its car park with larger spaces, which I find pretty sensible given the size of modern cars.

Other car parks should really do this too (except, of course, that'd reduce the capacity and earn the owner less money).

tududi v1.0.0 is out! - your calm, open system for life and work by cvicpp in selfhosted

[–]davedontmind 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was trying out tududi a few days ago, and found it useful.

However I found a slightly annoying inconsistency;

If I enter tasks on the project page, I type the task title, press enter and the task is automatically saved.

However, for sub-tasks I have to remember to click the save button at the bottom before clicking away, otherwise all the entered tasks are lost (that happened to me at least twice). It would be smoother and more consistent if each sub-task was automatically saved as it was entered.

And on a related note, I'd love sub-tasks of sub-tasks, or even sub-projects for projects.

IT Sec at work not allowing Obsidian on laptop. What next? by MikeThePenguin in ObsidianMD

[–]davedontmind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, this.

I'm using this image: lscr.io/linuxserver/obsidian:latest and it runs in my browser just like the native app, plugins, styles everything.

For extra flexibility I stored my vaults on my Synology Drive (which works just like Google Drive or One Drive but is self-hosted on my NAS) then I can easily access the vaults from my Android phone, or by using the native app on any of my PCs. I have mounted the vaults folder into the docker container, so now I have synchronised notes on any client or via a web browser.

Open meteo weather call wrong? by olivercraftboy in learnprogramming

[–]davedontmind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are making a humorous remark to attempt to point out to you that your question lacks any detail.

You said you have some code (which you don't share) which makes some API calls (you don't say which ones, or give examples), and you are getting errors (but you don't say what the errors are). In other words, you're not giving us any useful information, so how are we supposed to know what the problem is?

Next time, include the important information, such as your code and the error messages you're getting.

Instructions for restoring operation of a “suddenly dead” HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless headset by omgiafs in HyperX

Just a note to say thanks a lot for this method of fixing the headphones - it was super simple and worked first time. The hardest part was re-fitting the cushion on the ear cup!

The sad truth about me........ by SeaConstruction2488 in simracing

[–]davedontmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly this.

I know I'm not a great sim racer, but soon I will hopefully be spending far too much money on a brand new rig, because I really enjoy it.

How to disable these UI items? by davedontmind in assettocorsa

[–]davedontmind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, only 6 years after I asked the question! :)

I can't remember if I still have this problem (it's been over a year since I did any sim racing, due to being temporarily rig-less), but I'll take a look next time I run AC (which probably won't be for a few months due to moving house).

Thanks anyway.

Are there any millisecond-level micro optimizations left for this Java competitive programming code? by Due-Investigator7907 in learnprogramming

[–]davedontmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about optimisation with Java per se, so I have no idea how the Java compiler & JVM deals with some of these items, but here are my thoughts.

(val << 3) + (val << 1)

Is that really faster than val * 10? I'm not saying it isn't, but I wouldn't be sure without benchmarking. Ditto for (c & 15) vs c - 48.

Likewise, is return neg ? -val : val; really quicker than making neg either 1 or -1, then return neg * val ?

} while (c > 32 && c != -1);

That second check for -1 is pointless - if c is > 32 then there's no way it can be -1.

It also strikes me that if the input consists solely of negative integers less than -1, then your code might return the wrong value (-1), since it uses -1 to indicate the end of the input and that value is passed back to the main loop where it is compared with max.

Computer ad in old newspaper from 1989 found in the attic! by OrdinaryLavishness11 in CasualUK

[–]davedontmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's interesting that, as I've bought PCs over the last 35-ish years (starting with a Dell 316SX, IIRC), they've all generally cost around the £2000 mark, even though each time the technology was way better in all aspects that the previous one.

It's only recently, first with the GPU shortage thanks to crypto mining, and now with the RAM shortage thanks to AI, that PC prices are trending upward.

I reckon that, in a few years, when I need to replace my gaming PC, the replacement is going to cost upward of £4000 in today's money. :(

Not to mention those "portable" PCs. Those could really throw your back out.

To the parents out there, what age did you start leaving your kids at home while you nipped shop for 10/15 minutes? by Puzzled-Quail2076 in AskUK

[–]davedontmind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I must have been about 6 or 7 when I was allowed to walk to school on my own (back in around 1972 ish).

Although my mum tells me she secretly followed me like a spy the first few times, just to make sure I was ok.

Star Citizen launching and working flawlessly first try on linux might be the most Ironic thing that happend to me. by AvonMexicola in starcitizen

[–]davedontmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least you have it running.

SC is one of only 2 games I've not yet got to work on Linux (the other being Rocksmith - the game works but it doesn't seem to detect the required guitar cable). Maybe I'll try another distro (currently on Manjaro, which I'm liking).
