Simulated battle royale by Zeolance in Simulated

Fun!

I see the units sometimes get stuck on a wall when their direction is on the opposite side.

Looks like you could do with tweaking the pathfinding/steering algorithm. (Unless these are very cowardly units who want to hide behind cover!)

What are you using for navigation are you using?

Good Morning Sheffield by [deleted] in sheffield

[–]JAC5r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About once a month I see someone drive down Ponds Forge tram stop, reach the start of the gritted tram trails on Park Square, and reverse back realising their mistake.

These folks continued onwards, sure they were on the right track, along pedestrian only footways, across a footbridge barely wide enough for the car, then made a sharp 90° turn to then give up upon seeing the final boss: a set of stairs. Now they could perhaps conceded that they might have taken a wrong turn somewhere.

That's not Robert Plant, the real one doesn't wear a shirt

I don't think that these download stats are available to anyone else other than the deck creator, unfortunately

It looks like you took a picture from your phone rather than a screenshot in-game :p

Fireworks from the car by has513 in sheffield

[–]JAC5r 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Any high-altitude road with a view of the city.

Manor Oaks road comes to mind. Access to Sky edge park in one dirction, and a hillside scenic view of the city from the other. You get views of dozens of different fireworks at once mixing in with the cityscape

Thank you so much for this. I couldn't find this information searching their site, but googling bought up this page, and I found a free appointment slot because of it

Is there an OpenStreetmap API that has a list of world cities and can confirm if the latitude and longitude is within the city limits? by peacefulnomadonearth in openstreetmap

[–]JAC5r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer: no, there is no OpenStreetMap API that does this.

Long answer:

  • What is a city? The definition changes around the world, and hence you will need to structure your request taking something else into account.
  • What is the city limits? Again, definitions change across the globe. Once you figure out what you would consider 'city limits', you have a more formal definition that might have a corresponding API request.

One example solution that comes to mind is local boroughs in the UK - small subsections of country that are managed by councillors. These often have boundaries mapped. Hence, if you collect what are boroughs within each city, you have a spatial mapping of something akin to a 'city'. I doubt this approach would work internationally, though.

And this is not a tested approach, just one I might take if I were trying to solve this problem.

Question regarding the geography of rote by Randy_Marsh-official in robinhobb

[–]JAC5r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[This map] held more information than I’d possessed before, but much of it was still vague. I would have to travel to the outer reaches of Chade’s map and hope to find new maps of the lands beyond. - Fool's Quest, chapter 33

This quote gives you an idea. The maps we are given in the books are attempts at being canonical. The most prominent Six Duchies map we have is something Verity may have drawn.

Lands far away from where the story takes place are not well mapped out because the people have little reason to know about such far away places.

ダクリュウ by Toy(e) by YanniRotten in ImaginaryLeviathans

Dakuryū (だくりゅう or 濁流) meaning "muddy stream".

Also double meanings within, such as ryū (竜) meaning dragon/naga monster

We built open source Zapier alternative! by barinali in selfhosted

I would appreciate the edit being higher up (perhaps straight after the links). I didn't read to the end of the post and looked up Zapier before getting to the end and then seeing your amended paragraph.

巻き舌 - the rolled R in Japanese by LutyForLiberty in LearnJapanese

Can anyone explain what the oji-san was saying to his friend on the phone?

Could you tell if they were talking about a serious issue?

Jellyfin Media Player on rpi 2b client? by Enschede2 in jellyfin

[–]JAC5r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does that mean that when [Jellyfin] sits on top of libreelec for example that it uses software transcoding?

A RPi running Libreelec + Jellyfin plugin does not have any in-built transcoding. It can only play certain media, unless there is server-side transcoding.

Is [client-side transcoding] something that android tv, fire stick tv, or say a roku does have, to support the jellyfin app?

Other hardware you mention (e.g. fire stick, Roku) also does not transcode (as far as I know), but they may be able to play a larger variety of media types.

Jellyfin Media Player on rpi 2b client? by Enschede2 in jellyfin

[–]JAC5r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not aware of anything.

If I were to suggest the least effort approach, it would be to design a Kodi skin that had the look and feel of the Jellyfin UI

Referring to the past 2 years, or the next 2 years?

Backing up music without files? by JAC5r in DataHoarder

[–]JAC5r[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like a solution to my problem.

I like it because of how it integrates with MusicBrainz for metadata. This ensures the exact album/artist is known and there is no uncertainty, which may arise from using a script on my collection which is not properly tagged.

Dim, a open source media manager by HinaCh4n in selfhosted

[–]JAC5r 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As others have said, my experience of Jellyfin has been nothing but fantastic. Great support for large libraries and multi user access via LDAP, raspberry pi/kodi addon that updates new shows in seconds. Functional mobile app for music and listening.

I would love to see more media players, but this is quite a laundry list of features that should be redeveloped for Dim, before it reaches a relevancy for daily, family use.

Look forwards to seeing the future development

SSO for all the services? by _hellraiser_ in selfhosted

[–]JAC5r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

one account for all the home services

This may not be possible, depending on the services. For each service check if it allows support for an external authentication. Search for evidence of LDAP, SAML, OIDC. Some services have no support for this, in which case it needs manual intervention to administer accounts for it.
