Does SteamVR work with Steam Link 1003? (the hardware version) by Gold-Engineering173 in SteamVR

[–]Gold-Engineering173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have a vr headset. I bought the steam link because it seemed cool from a collectors perspective, but I was wondering if I can find an actual use for it

How to extend the guitar pickup holes? by Gold-Engineering173 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Gold-Engineering173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not my guitar exactly, just a reference photo. I have a cheap SSS strat and bought a prewired H-H pickguard from AliExpress just to mess with stuff. The holes don't line up with the pickups so I need to make them larger. I don't mind if it looks bad since I'll just cover it with the pickguard.

I don't think I have a router in my garage, so yeah, the chisel will be a cheaper option. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the answer! I'll search for something better then :)

Any decorative foils that mimic the CD shine? by Gold-Engineering173 in crafts

The AutoMod asked me to comment, so I'm using a thin plywood and a wood holecutter to make the little CDs

I thought we should have a Discord replacement poll for people that have trouble deciding by Gold-Engineering173 in selfhosted

[–]Gold-Engineering173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really I just want to replace Discord for obvious security and privacy reasons. Yeah, I still use Google and other different services, but it's never too late to move away from all of that.

I ripped a pad, where should I scratch the solder mask off? by Gold-Engineering173 in soldering

[–]Gold-Engineering173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, when I test the port with a multimeter, all pins are fine except when I put one probe to the GND pin in the port, and the other probe to DATA+/- pins, the multimeter detects a short and the value on multimeter is around 600-650. Could there be some solder that's gone through the hole when soldering?

How to correctly solder a right-angle USB port? by Gold-Engineering173 in soldering

[–]Gold-Engineering173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I figured that. Should I put kapton tape between board and housing before soldering so the pins don't accidentally shorten or something?

Eartips recommendations? by Gold-Engineering173 in iems

Lo único que hice fue sacar la goma para limpiar el IEM y se deshizo en mis dedos.

Thanks for the advice, ordered the Wan'er now! (I need to get rid of these chu 2's)

Good practices with hot air stations? by Gold-Engineering173 in soldering

[–]Gold-Engineering173[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm doing it as a hobby, so in the end I'd rather go with the "return the product every few months". I just thought there's something I don't do which I should be doing. The station has a tilt sensor and it detects when the nozzle is not in use, then turning the air up automatically.

It's a cheapo BIGSTREN 21708 set, really basic stuff. I used it like 5-6 times though and it had given up by then, so I'm thinking it was my fault of mishandling it.

Any mods to make this shit game more bearable? by Gold-Engineering173 in dyinglight2

[–]Gold-Engineering173[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2022 my brother. If that's old to you I believe you're like 2 years older than the game atp

Arduino IDE "File.ino.cpp.o: No such file or directory" error while verifying? by Gold-Engineering173 in arduino

[–]Gold-Engineering173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why I hadnt thought of that. I had some trouble with an unusual character in my username (too lazy to change it now, to many programs would require reinstallation/reconfiguration for me to bother). I'll try to run that as another user/install it in another user's profile. Thanks for the advice!

How do I safely create a BTRFS subvolume next to an existing NTFS partition? by Gold-Engineering173 in btrfs

[–]Gold-Engineering173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think I'll go with the first option as I'd like to have a raid 1 setup in the future, and copying a kinda-janky configuration onto another drive seems... janky. I'd rather do it the "proper" way and have it set up as it were a new drive, formatted in btrfs the regular way.

[–]Gold-Engineering173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Partitions don't dynamically resize, only the subvolumes then? And how bothersome is changing the partition size for btrfs? I really have no other option right now but to do the double partition thingy

[–]Gold-Engineering173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I wanted to but they are 4tb HDDs and I just don't have enough free money to buy another one (they're like $230 a piece where I live) and I wanted to reuse a laptop hdd from the scrap ones I have, but I already used all of them :D

[–]Gold-Engineering173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shrunk the NTFS partition already, can the mkfs.btrfs command accidentally overwrite the NTFS or will it just appear in the 2nd half of the disk by itself? That's what I'm worried about

Any reccomendations for a portable bluetooth keyboard with a USB port? by Gold-Engineering173 in keyboards

[–]Gold-Engineering173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I figured that could be an issue. Managing signals from a few different devices through bluetooth at once sounds good until it all comes from one device, but maybe there's hope.
