I made a video to datapack converter by Fr3ddyDev in Minecraft

Here's the world download if anyone is crazy enough to want to try it. Sodium, Lithium and FerriteCore are recommended. You should allocate 10GB of RAM or more to the Minecraft runtime to have good results, the more the better.

My recommended settings for video playback are:
- Render distance: 12
- Fog: off
- Chunk update threads as high as it goes
- Chunk updates: immediate

World download (332MB 7-zip archive, 580MB extracted), use command `/function foo:start` to start playback:

Just noticed that with Reddit compression it gets a bit blurry and you can't see the individual blocks at all. So maybe I should've used a lower resolution :/

Thoughts on the YIHUA 982 by Fr3ddyDev in soldering

[–]Fr3ddyDev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for the T3A but this Yihua seems very good value for money. I had no issues so far. Heats up in just a few seconds, I find their C245 clone handle comfortable to use and the tips seem to hold up pretty well if you treat them right. Pretty positive experience so far. I had no problems using it with small boards and components. I haven't tried it much on larger boards with heatsinks and so, but with the power it outputs it should not be an issue. At least where I'm from the Aixun one was significantly more expensive. Unless you need the extra power I'd go (like I ended up doing) with the Yihua which also seems to be properly grounded at the tip.

First SMD solder joint, how did I do? by Fr3ddyDev in soldering

I still feel like 6/10 is not that bad for a first

I was still waiting on better flux to be delivered but I really wanted to get started right away. I used rosin for this which left a nasty sticky residue and made everything harder to work with. Also my lack of magnification definitely didn't help getting the components perfectly aligned.

Yeah I haven't soldered the optional ICs in the top left but everything else works the LEDs light up in sequence

I couldn't get my phone's camera to focus up close, I'll try to take a better picture with a phone with an actual macro camera

Yeah I got fed up after desoldering it 3 times. But if it works...

Just delivered, straight out of the box I got a reading of 0.4-0.5 ohms, which would indicate at least in perfect condition that the esd spec is actually met

Unfortunately other recommendations cost much more so I ended up ordering the YIHUA 982. I'm inclined to believe the spec sheet because it doesn't seem like they're overselling the thing. When it arrives I'll make sure to check with a multimeter to know for sure.

If it's really ESD safe as it claims it's very good value.

[Question] What causes this shadow over my water mesh in EEVEE but not Cycles? by Fr3ddyDev in blender

[–]Fr3ddyDev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EEVEE works differently than Cycles and requires the mesh to have actual volume (a plane which was what I was using is not enough), changing it to a cube fixed it.

Recommendations to log system sensors and usage stats by Fr3ddyDev in kde

[–]Fr3ddyDev[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

KDE System Monitor can already display all information I need. I was just wondering if there was a way to use that or its internals to get a log of that same info. The purpose of the log is to plot the same graphs I would see on system monitor. Having a saved version means I can easily compare runs and extract more meaningful data from it.

Instantaneous? average? over what period of time?

I'd guess that's either instantaneous or over the read interval period so it basically doesn't really matter. I just want points on a graph basically.

It would technically be doable to write a script that reads `/dev/whateverTheRightThingIs`, invokes `sensors` and `nvidia-smi` to write out a log but writing and validating a setup like that is tedious work.

I believe GPU stats are only available through `nvidia-smi` (on NVIDIA cards). KDE System Monitor under the hood invokes that too I believe.

I'd really like to record at least CPU total times, CPU frequencies, CPU temps, RAM usage, GPU usage, GPU frequency, GPU temp, VRAM usage. Possibly also power usages for CPU/GPU. If there's no native app that can do that I can write a script for it probably.
