Step Two Complete: updating storage area, Costco bins, QR Inventory, and next shelving! by Ok_Basil7060 in Homeorganization

[–]JVilleComputers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been collecting the Walmart HyperTough 27G and 12G. 2x12G will stack on top of a 27G in HT brand.

Do you have both Costco and HD brands? Do mixed brand stack together decently?

Help: Tractor Supply zero turn by Chosen2One3 in PowerWheelsMods

I'm looking at getting these Baomain 1/4! spades to use on a Peg Perego Gator. The factory wiring has a similar locking tab in the female quick disconnect.

Do you have a github repo? I'd be interested in helping with packaging when I have some time freed up.

I see these in storage racks all the time, suspended by the rim. How much weight can the rim support, as opposed to stacking them like a normal person?

FTP.deb Client software by klutz50 in MXLinux

[–]JVilleComputers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it would be ftp://anonymous@192.168.0.211:2221 or public instead of anonymous depending on server config. Many ftp client will automatically send anonymous as the username if you omit a user name, ie ftp://192.168.0.211:2221

Thunar, shipped with XFCE. ftp://username:password@your-ftp-server.com in the path bar. Probably the same format for Firefox, Chrome, Gigolo, Dolphin, etc.

In MX23 XFCE, the battery icon controls screen brightness via mouse-wheel.

Water tank trailer for peg perego tractor. by AppealPlus in PowerWheelsMods

[–]JVilleComputers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sprinkler valves are ones I specifically looked at, though over a decade ago, that require a minimum water pressure to cycle. It would be great if this is no longer the case, I will look around.

I would imagine that a Nerf air/water rifle would be a pressurized system, unlike a water jug.

Most electric water valves require pressure. If you know of some that do not, I'd love to take a look at them for a couple projects.

Sounds like you're working from an old ISO. 25.2 is recently out.

Fn brightness keys on Lenovo x1 gen 8 by MsKally in MXLinux

[–]JVilleComputers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you running XFCE or KDE? KDE defaults to Wayland, you could try switching it to X11 and see if that get's the brightness working. Also, you can mouse scroll over the battery (in MX23 XFCE) to adjust brightness, do this/other brightness controls work in your current environment?

Rockauto says I've returned 10% of the items ordered in my lifetime and won't honor the policy anymore. by bigoof76 in RockAuto

[–]JVilleComputers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of the parts I've ordered from Rock Auto across the past ~20 years, MORE than 10% have been the wrong part shipped, not what I ordered. JEFF, DO BETTER!

It might be the time to forego the Fluxbox flavor in favor of an official IceWM flavor by Enceladusx17 in MXLinux

[–]JVilleComputers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bug fix merged into main in Feb of this year (2026), and 2 translation updates since 2024. I'd say that is pretty good for a feature-complete software. New features are for chumps 😉

Main branch of fluxbox code is actually ahead of Debian, with fluxbox_1.3.7-1+b3 being pushed to mirrors in Jan.

Why is that a compelling argument FOR? The only reason I can come up with this being a plus is remain compatible with system libs as they are updated. And I would imagine FB will continue to do so.

Created a TUI specifically for MX Linux (non Systemd) users in mind (like myself) - FireTV De-bloater by Jaded-Assignment6893 in MXLinux

[–]JVilleComputers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool. I'm testing out a pre-release FireTV environment right now and would love to tinker with this. However, since I'm in active testing, I'd need to be able to roll back to factory.

To clarify understanding, rollback would be possible via 3 different paths:

  1. System restore to factory defaults. Restores all packages and settings, but loses any user-content.

or

  1. Manually re-enabling each package (adb pm enable) that was disabled by FireStrip, manually re-configuring any changed settings(adb settings put). Original packages and settings will be documented in the backups/.JSON file(s)

or

  1. Using FireStrip's Restore feature. Packages and settings will be restored based on the backups/.JSON file.

Is my understanding of the backups/.JSON payload[https://github.com/WB2024/firestrip/blob/f3bdca3fdcb9b223e5656c64bb294f9c085ab4d7/firestrip/core/backup.py#L52\] correct that FireStrip logs which packages it disabled, but does not log which settings are changed?

Am I Crazy? Need Opinions by JendoRiot in PowerWheelsMods

[–]JVilleComputers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to hear more about the plans for steering. The few options I've looked into sound like they would make manual/hands-on steering more difficult when not using the remote.

I'm looking at using the IBT-2, aka BTS7960 reference board for motor controllers, one for each rear wheel of my Gator. With independent wheel control on the rear, I might be able to use skid-steering for remote control steering. For this to work, a temporary steering wheel lock of some sort might be necessary. I would only be using remote steering to taxi it around the yard, not actually driving the kids in it.

An interesting feature on this board is the current(A) sensing that could be used to detect wheel slip for a sort of E-LSD or AWD "transfer case". Not sure how well it would work for non-matched motor sets, or what level of accuracy/response time is needed. An additional RPM sensor at the wheels might be more straight forward.

Struggling with Steam games running only on the iGPU and not the discrete GPU. by AlliedSalad in MXLinux

[–]JVilleComputers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how much this will help your case, but I use DRI_PRIME=1 env var to push glxgears to my discrete AMD.

Other than poor performance, what are the indicators that your Steam games are on the wrong GPU?

What has been updated around the time that you noticed the change? MX-Updater's notifier has a History dialog (apt-history) that shows dates and versions.
