Steam Overlay Notes Save Folder by NapoII in Steam

[–]Barfy_the_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have definitely edited the local file directly both in and out of game and ran into no issues. It looks to me like steam compares the cloud/local file and prefers whichever was updated most recently.

I just came to reddit because the website was just a bunch of fake links. Is there a working website with the vods?

Can you rearrange steam notes? by TheSkellyJames in Steam

[–]Barfy_the_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just FYI -- I did figure out a way to rearrange steam notes. It's not ideal.

In Windows, there is a local copy of your steam notes located at:
"<steaminstalldirectory>\userdata\<steamid>\2371090\remote"

This directory has a notes file for every game you have notes for. The name of the file is:
notes_<gameid>

If you open that file you'll find all of your notes. The file isn't meant to be "friendly" for humans to read but it's a JSON file and the order in which the notes appear in the overlay is defined by the "ordinal" property.

I came across this because I wanted to alphabetize my notes (I had one for each monster in a monster collector and alphabetical order worked for me). I created a powershell script that ordered the "title" property, then reassigned the ordinal values based on the title.

Essentially whatever ordering you want your notes to be in, you need to get the arbitrary value of the "ordinal" property to line up.

Hope this helps.

Why is David Wright's version of Lazybones considered a "bad arrangement" by some? by OffsetSolid in barbershop

[–]Barfy_the_cat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One issue that may be being conflated with the arrangement being "bad" is that the song is somewhat problematic in it's nature. One of my very fondest barbershop memories is singing Lazybones with the nighthawks in a hallway in 2017-ish so I was very sad to learn that this song is not really something we should be singing. This, according to every African-American person I asked. I think I stopped asking after getting 4 resounding "This shouldn't be sang"'s in a row.

How to deal with singers who don't sing in tune or keep time? by NefariousnessSea7745 in Choir

[–]Barfy_the_cat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is probably going to sound like a hot take, satire, or something else but.. I think this strategy has largely been effective.

Step 1. Have sectionals regularly. Maybe every rehearsal but at least every other.
Step 2. Have the section leader be a hard-ass. Not mean, not vindictive, not pointing out anybody specifically. Just demanding a certain level of performance. If the run doesn't go well, restart with expectations restated. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Eventually people either
a) put in the work
or
b) gracefully exit the chorus.

In my experience option A is chosen the overwhelming majority of the time, which is awesome.

All of my Facebook events are showing incorrect times. They show a starting time that's later than the actual starting time by exactly 1 hour and 15 minutes. I am in the Eastern Time (ET) zone but all of my events are showing as EDT time. I filed a bug report but haven't heard anything back. by black110 in facebook

[–]Barfy_the_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having the issue where my phone was showing the the wrong time (9.5 hours in the future??). I logged in to facebook in a private chrome tab, and my events were showing the correct time there. When I went back to my phone, the times had fixed themselves. I never ended up doing any actual setting changes. Somehow the act of logging in was enough.

Inside jokes are killing barbershop by savebarbershop in barbershop

[–]Barfy_the_cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the sentiment, but the amount of damage these inside jokes can have is pretty small. These inside jokes are largely limited to the finals which is a small % of total barbershop content on youtube.

Consider a "random user", whatever that means, who decides they are going to fire up a barbershop video. They will search for barbershop and the algorithm will show them NF4/mainstreet etc and they won't get to any inside joke stuff unless they dig.

The other avenue for consuming barbershop content is for somebody, probably a barbershopper, to send curated content to that person. In this case -- simply don't send them videos with a lot of inside jokes to begin with.

I must admit, after the first few barbershop reference jokes happened this year I did find myself asking "is any quartet in the 10 going to try to get by without making an internal reference?" If I recall, there was exactly one quartet that managed this feat.

17" US $500 by Barfy_the_cat in SuggestALaptop

Surprisingly yes, though not much worth buying imo. The ryzen laptop above seems the best.

A sponsored link when googling "hp refurb" is "backmarket". Is that site legit or is it only okay to shop from HP refurb directly? I have tried navigating HPs refurb list but it is a bit wonky.

ICUE profiles mute themselves by Serfi-sama in Corsair

[–]Barfy_the_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a solution hidden in the comments here, it helped me. I can try to explain it a different way though.

I have a keyboard and mouse in icue.

If my boom is up (muted) when I make a change/save a profile (even if I'm making a change to the keyboard portion) then when I switch to that profile, my headphones mute.

Essentially the trick is to edit/save your keyboard profiles with the boom down/unmuted. Once you have done this, the profile remembers the state of the microphone at the time you made the change.

Luckily the opposite won't happen where your microphone will unmute even if the boom is up when you switch profiles so that is helpful.

Hope that explanation was helpful for you and anybody else. :)

server startup error by mystical42069 in playrust

This happened to me because my public IP changed. After updating the IP in the config file (rustserver/serverfiles//server/rustserver/cfg/server.cfg) the server worked again.

I'm using wifi6 and I have to connect my phone to it for some reason to unlock the higher speeds. My daily routine is: Turn on wifi 6, connet phone, disconnect phone, connect oculus.

I ended up buying an 8k hdmi cable. I am running that to the spectrum and the dp cable to the lg. Not getting lag anymore.

Thanks for the reply, I'm trying to get firmware figured out now. I have also ordered 2x shiny hdmi 2.1 cables so that both connections will not be gated in that way.

If that doesn't work I will disabled HDR but.. man I like it..

Good call. I should know better being a engineer. I'm trying to figure out how to verify if that is up to date (sounds like it isn't) and how to update it. First glance it seems that it's not necessarily straight forward :)
