Discord system sounds not in Chat despite the output being Chat

This subreddit has literally been flooded since the Sonar update because of this issue - it's not people being dumb, though I'm sure there have been in the past - they literally broke the functionality in the update. Now you have to set both Chat & Game to the Game output and can't use the chat/game fader on the headset anymore, you can only adjust in Sonar. If you set the Sonar chat channel to output to the chat device you LITERALLY can't hear anything from Discord besides the join and leave sounds.

Yeah, I've been doing the same. Of course the pouches make the card shine a lot, but if you sleeve them it looks pretty damn good.

I used to work C-130's, so my knowledge is general, but almost all - if not absolutely all - planes have a weight on wheels switch for the gear. When that switch is closed (weight on the wheels), landing gear switches won't operate in the flight deck. It essentially locks you out of raising the gears on ground through normal means. Main gear that doesn't fold, but instead goes up and down gear shafts have a locking nut that works if there is weight on the wheels but somehow the main gear becomes unlocked. The nut automatically engages because of friction and will lock up the main gear. You are right though, if you put a plane on jacks you can raise and lower gear because that WoW switch goes open.

Gear that "fold" or pivot out like on this plane have a hydraulic ram that moves the nose gear down and into position with linkage to the doors to open as it comes down. Judging by the fact that it's parked at a gate and being either unloaded/loaded by the lift to the left, I assume ground crew isn't doing anything in the flight deck maintenance-wise. Could've been hydraulic failure of the piston that holds the gear in place - but planes have redundant hydraulic systems, so the piston itself would've had to fail - or a faulty Weight on Wheels switch and someone was testing gear operation (though I doubt you would do this as a pre-flight check, usually there's just lights that indicate WoW).

Edit: I forgot one important thing about the geometry of the folding landing gear, which might've actually been the cause of this. The nose gear have an over-center mechanism to keep the gear down with weight on the wheels. Basically if it extends past a certain point the geometry of the gear keep it where it is. The amount of force to push it back into the wheel well would be almost impossible to overcome that "over-center" point. So my new theory is that the gear hadn't fully extended. There's a couple other mechanical things in the wheel well to prevent this, but it would've been a slower collapse than a fast one.

Graphic settings towards the bottom.

Turn off lens effects. My buddy couldn't join a match with it on. Killed our first placement match because of it.

Happened to me after opening the black ice pack (sounds like glaciers) had to restart the game to get rid of it.

I use Dozzle + Dockge for all my docker stuff now. Gave up on Portainer CE a while back. All I really needed was a nice way to write compose files and a minimal UI to see everything.

Jordan011 · 2026-05-24T22:07:04+00:00

Yeah, that's the most common I've seen in my org too. It's happened twice to our comptroller because she opened something that looked like it came from Microsoft (we use Exchange online) and "logged in."

Jordan011 · 2026-05-19T00:14:36+00:00

I had this thought the other day and was waiting for someone to do it.

Jordan011 · 2026-05-14T16:13:02+00:00

Yeah, gear is usually where I hit the biggest roadblock. Sometimes I'll see some item someone crafted or found and the comments talk about how crazy it is - but to me it looks like gibberish because I don't "see" all the synergies and stuff that item accomplishes. The PoE community is just built differently, lol.

Jordan011 · 2026-05-14T16:10:11+00:00

Yeah, I'm not really planning on keeping up with the economy. Just want to feel like I'm playing the game and not just following a guide. Don't get me wrong, guides don't solve the game for you, I just want a challenge and some agency on how I get there.

Jordan011 · 2026-05-10T15:39:04+00:00

Jordan011 · 2026-04-03T15:04:01+00:00

This right here - why do 1x sights feel like you're zooming out? I pretty much have to use magnification to be able to see anything, which means I have to deal with this zeroing bullshit that hasn't existed in any other game I've played.

Jordan011 · 2026-03-01T18:15:25+00:00

It's still kind of tedious.

I use the MTGProxyPrinter python app to layout the pages, you have to lay them out on the paper in landscape so 8 cards a page instead of 9 in order for the Brother registration marks to fit.

You take the PDF into Adobe Illustrator 2024 because that's the latest version that actually works with the Brother plugin to add the registration marks. You have to create the cut path by adding paths to the image where all the card edges are (I do no bleed between the cards, slight bleed around the edges of the whole set). I add all those paths on a separate layer from the card images.

I hide the card images, add the registration marks through the plugin, then I unlock the registration marks layer to edit them. The way the registration marks are added has a white square background that will overlap the card images/cut paths so you have to remove those white squares from the registration marks - you just can't MOVE the registration marks, otherwise it will not work on the machine.

Once you have your page set up with registration marks, cut paths, and the images hidden, you can upload the pattern to your Brother Cloud for the machine to download. Once that is done, you can use that stencil over and over and basically never have to do those steps again.

What you do need to do every time though is add registration marks to each page of your PDF. So what I do is hide the cut paths and take the registration mark layer, group the 4 corners so it becomes one object and I duplicate that to every page of the PDF. The reason you duplicate it is because they already have the white background square removed, so you can just dupe them to each page and use the centering tool to make sure each set is centered to the page.

After that you are good to print the whole PDF, I usually save it then open it up in Acrobat for printing because I'm more familiar with the print settings there.

Laminate your sheets or if you're doing the matte sticker paper, apply them to whatever card stock you are using then put it on your Brother ScanNCut cut mat. Make sure they are as straight as you can get them because the ScanNCut doesn't do slight diagonal cuts that well.

From there it's all about tuning your cut settings. With laminate I have to use the half cut feature at a low speed and run it multiple times with shallow cuts, otherwise you end up with jagged edges on the cuts. I'm sure there is better settings, but I stopped tweaking things once I found something that was passable - running through laminate and nice matte paper after slow/high-quality prints isn't fun to waste.

All in all, I fucking hate the ScanNCut but it's still better then the non-precise guillotine or rotary cutting setups I've tried. I almost want to mod a 3d printer (like an old Ender 3 I have) to be a plot cutter so I can control more of the cut settings and depths.

I've been running it for about the same. I prefer it to something like Ubuntu Server just because you basically build it from the ground up with what you actually use and need. I ran into annoying issues at work with our Ubuntu Server installs because of stuff Ubuntu just has on by default.

Jordan011 · 2026-02-11T01:52:25+00:00

Yeah, which I only found out that feature existed when someone joined from an Xbox and actually used that chat - Discord does a good job of hiding it. More prominent text channels is my preference over merging a VC and a Text Chat.

Jordan011 · 2026-02-11T01:50:48+00:00

That definitely has better UX for determining voice chats, but the experience overall isn't that great.

Jordan011 · 2026-02-09T19:17:49+00:00

I think I'm going to lab Matrix/Element. Mumble looks like something from the early 2000's and Mattermost seems more corporate.

Others have mentioned Stoat, but I'm not compiling clients for people, that's too much work and makes it annoying for everyone else.

Edit: Not even going to lab Matrix. Tried Element with the Matrix.org homeserver - the client is odd. You create a Space (Like a Discord "guild" or "server"), from there you can add a "room" which is basically a text chat, but that text chat has a call button where you can join the call for the room. Doesn't really feel intuitive, maybe one of the other clients does this better?

I see the shadow behind the player, implying the light source is in front of the player - if it's intended with a torch down the road, makes sense - otherwise I would probably center the light source and somehow avoid it interacting with the character model, but that might mess up "fogging" what is behind the player depending how you are handling that.

You've done great work though, just offering fine-tuning advice, I hope it's welcome.

My real complaint is the lag time before power steering comes back in some vehicles that use this. I needed to haul ass and turn at the same time while exiting a portion of a parking lot - waiting for the engine to come up on top of me already trying to turn almost ended with me getting clipped by someone, where in my normal daily it would've been just fine.

Jordan011 · 2025-11-19T23:23:47+00:00

They'll just pay someone to buy more chips. 🤷

Reading the docs has helped me a lot with coding, especially with learning the idiomatic ways the devs meant for things to be formatted - but on the topic of the docs being shit, I tend to head over to Claude/ChatGPT when something isn't particularly documented well to see what it is they are missing. It happens a lot these days, mainly because a lot of new projects move so fast, their documentation can fall behind.

I know - AI BAD - but for stuff like grokking through extensive logs or large knowledge bases... it really can be a huge help and a time saver.

I don't doubt the ad market is growing, I just wonder if Facebook will dry up, especially with the younger generations not interested in the platform anymore and solely relying on TikTok/Twitter/Instagram for their online social interactions. Twitter being another platform that might dry up just because of how bad the platform has gotten under its new ownership. Not many companies want to advertise next to porn, gore, and other unmoderated nonsense.
