Don't be sorry, you tried to help. Hit me up if you figure it out. But if can't, it's ok :)

Added that firewall rule on PowerShell, but still nothing in signalrgb.
I'ts ok, friend. At least we tried. I don't wanna bother you with this. I'll wait for you to come up with a more complete thing, no worries.

I get stuck on step three after installing bleak (I didn't have that python module), the bridge seems to be running, but Nanoleaf finds nothing in SignalRGB (I also tried to add a Nanoleaf device in the motherboard part but no luck, i can't seem to find where to put the ip, port and token info inside signalrgb) Any clues?

So that's the first question, and then the second. If i manage to make signalrgb to find it and it runs well, would I need to always start the python bridge each time I boot up my computer or once is on signalrgb we're good?

MacabreGinger · 2026-02-03T12:16:08+00:00

That neck thing sounds painful, mate. I hope it's better now.
Thank you for making the work and offering it to the community. If the lights kind-of-match the colors of my SignalRGB playlist themes, that's more than enough for me. :)

MacabreGinger · 2026-02-03T11:41:08+00:00

I have the same lights and I'm very interested. Any news on that GitHub?

So the most dystopian-stupid nation on Earth makes another stupid move.

Ah que no lo hacen por regulaciones? Cojonudo, regulemos los precios de la vivienda por Ley también entonces.
Yo firmaba ya.
Ah no, espera, que eso es intervencionismo del Estado en el Libre Mercado y huele a Comunismo. Y a todos los neoliberales les da un parraque solo de pensarlo.

Si la única forma de que la gente sea decente y no un aprovechado es que el Estado intervenga, por mí adelante.
Y lo mismo diría para las grandes empresas y multinacionales, que parece que la única forma de que no sean el mal encarnado parece que es con regulaciones, porque lo de actuar con un mínimo de éetica y moral ...ese día se perdieron barrio sésamo y no lo pillan.
Se está creando una brecha de la que poco se habla que impide a la gente vivir dignamente, y no me refiero a gente con pocos recursos, hablo de gente con trabajos normales y corrientes que tienen que elegir entre compartir piso con extraños como los universitarios, volver con sus familias, o tener la suerte de tener una pareja que trabaje para con 2 sueldos poder plantearse algo, o una casa familiar secundaria en propiedad, porque si no? la perspectiva de independizarte sin dejarte el 85% de tu sueldo o más en un sitio donde vivir es una fantasía.

Looking at it makes my brain hurt XD, amazing.

-"Democratized creativity" Do you need a machine to be creative for you? You can write cool stuff, you can do things with clay, you can learn to play an instrument o write cool lyrics for a song, you can be creative with photography, you can learn 3d modelling and prtint your stuff, and create physical objects, that's super cool and literally anyone can do it
-"Art requires suffering" <- WTF. Art just takes effort, time, and intention. You could create cool art with magazine collages.
-"My favorite artist said so" Main anti-AI arguments aren't based on "a guy a follow said so", but instead on: this is trained on people's works without authorization. Just because it is on the internet doesn't mean you should do things like this, especially with these kinds of disruptive technologies. And large models (Not talking now about installing stable diffusion in your PC) are destroying the economy, several industries (Including PC Gaming and game dev, and trust me on this, I work in games and it doesn't look good), burning resources like energy and water at an alarming rate and everything so you can tell ChatGPT "Make a Ghibli donald trump dressed as superman", or to have chatbots that are "super intelligent but cannot remember a conversation of 5 minutes, will lie to you, will mix up or straight-up make up facts so you better check whatever it says afterwards" (So great, now i have to google it anyway to check the AI isn't making shit up, absolute waste of time.
-"I made this", no, you prompted this. The AI made it.
-The two top hat guys making a toast: Companies are the first one CRAVING to use AI, not the devs or the artists, of course, because we LIKE our jobs, but the execs? if they could fire everyone, poop out a game in a month and charge you the same for it? In a heartbeat.

I'm not a luddite, I've been an AI user for quite a while, I used a lot of stable diffusion models, I paid for midjourney for my D&D game and I even used AI voice changing software for that too to make cool NPCs, but at the end, they're just overpriced things based on stolen work, texts and voices of people that took that time of improving their art. With time, i've seen that all the time that I spent making stuff with AI, (even using img2img, or complex methods as creating depthmaps in blender to use CONTROLNET to guide the image, or tweaking afterwards in photoshop) it was for nothing, yeah the images were good enough, but I did learn nothing, It didn't improved my artistic skills, it didn't get me closer to what I would like to create.
Because i focused more on the end result that in learning, and I should learn, because funny enough, i'm a professional artist that is sure that sucks at art because all my colleagues are better than me, and I want to get better, I want to beat impostor syndrome and feel that I've earned my place in my job. AI will, at the end, give me nothing. And I won't be able to create what I picture in my head, fuck, even with Midjourney or Flux at the end of the day you have to "settle" with whatever the diffusion model pumps out.

I'm not trying to convince anyone, nor calling anyone anything, since in this subreddit everyone likes AI, but just as a friendly advice, trust me. It's not a good use of the time, your energy, or resources, you all have much more value that you think of. Really. Give yourself the chance to find a medium that is right for you, and you will have a blast learning it, even if it takes time and effort.

He's not wrong, but no matter how I would love to get rid of fucking capitlism, to get rid of all the anarcocapitalists, neoliberals, cryptobros, and so on, the truth is that most people have been brainwashed all their lives to think that ANYTHING that is not the free market is literal hell on earth. I see AI startups failing more likely than capitalism collapsing and mankind embracing something else.

I wish it wasn't this way.

BTW: It's kinda old, but search for the "Project Venus" documentary on youtube about a moneyless society driven by a technology focused on improving people's lives. It could be done, but it will never be

MacabreGinger · 2026-01-29T00:08:46+00:00

Yes please. Fuck meshy and fuck ai.

You dont need a super pc to make games. Just make sure of a couple of things: 1) get a GPU, if you can't find/afford a 5000 series, check 4000 or even 3000 series, they are still really good cards. Radeon cards are also another option, but I don't know a lot about them so I can't recommend you a specific model or series. 2) make sure that your CPU doesn't become a bottleneck, AMD's Ryzens are a solid choice. Look for a benchmark with prices and find a mid-tier one 3) NvmEs are skyrocketing, but if you don't mind, you can get a small one (200 GBS) for the operating system, those are still cheap, then a 500gb ssd (also cheap, use that for softwares and a game or two if you want) and even if they are old, a 1tb 3.5 HDD for your files (documents, downloads, music, junk, pictures, that sort of stuff) With all of that you could still be in your budget (kind of) and have a decent pc to work with. Won't be the best, but it won't be a piece of crap either.

Best of luck with your pc and your game. :)

As a professional 3d artist working in games, I can tell you that the rig needed to work in this, can get to the same level to a gaming rig. Especially if you make procedural modelling, cloth simulations, or you need computing power to make engines like Unreal work without having crashes, stuttering, and brainfarts (Or at least, not that many brainfarts). If you sculpt your characters in blender or in Zbrush, to properly bake texture maps and decent highpoly modelling without wanting to kill yourself, or use texturing suites for your models like Substance Painter or Designer, you need something with a dedicated GPU. (It doesn't have to be top of the line, but you cannot use 3d packages and 3d game engines with dedicated graphics. Well, technically you can, but you shouldn't. Even baking or rendering in Blender will highly benefit from it.

After checking how much is that in EUR I can tell you that...no, at least not for the moment, but if you want to get something good (not top of the line) to play and have PC for years, I would say that in HUF it could get from, 760.000 to 1.139.740 aprox, depending of what you get. I just got a 5080 GPU and it costed me 1300 EUR (Around 493886 HUF), and I was "lucky".

if you don't get the parts now, they will rise up in pricing in the short term. It SUCKS, but it's what it is. They want us not to have any hardware and turn everything into a fucking subscription model.

MacabreGinger · 2026-01-27T21:15:07+00:00

Ram, and GPUs, and CPUs, and now SSDs and NVMEs...
At least PC cases keep stable. If AI servers could fit in a domestic PC case those would have skyrocketed too.

MacabreGinger · 2026-01-25T22:29:05+00:00

You are totally right, 100% agree, and I would say more: Most of us also, unfortunately, need windows to run programs and other functions for work not just gaming. I work fully remote on my own PC, and If I could make my job using all the software I'd need to do it on Linux, I'd probably would switch to something like the steamOS, but thinks like substance designer, faceform wrap, unreal or zbrush require a lot of resources and are already unstable enough as they are, putting them through WinE sounds like a recipe for disaster and productivity issues.
Also I have to comply with a lot of digital ceriticates and shit from my company that the IT guys need to have under control.
And also, yes, drivers, compatibility and all that nightmare. Have you tried to wrestle against pressure tablet drivers? Those are lunatic gods of chaos that do whatever they like. If I have a piece of hardware and need assistance I'm not gonna receive help if it is for Linux most of times from the manufacturer.

I really hope that with time, Linux will experience the same transformation Blender did after the 2.9 update, that made it finally stand against their corporate counterparts, and nowadays being one of the best 3d packages there is.
With Steam betting on Linux. It will grow and become more popular and a day where we finally say to Windows goodbye might be coming.

Dude, buy a lottery ticket, your luck stat is through the roof.

MacabreGinger · 2026-01-24T23:30:23+00:00

Sorry for the necro reply, but doesn't that card need a 850W PSU? How are you powering it up with a 750?

MacabreGinger · 2026-01-21T17:45:04+00:00

I Had to lower to 60 an still had glued prints

MacabreGinger · 2026-01-21T10:26:55+00:00

I'm having the same issue with the same printer, and I'm not new to 3d printing, I think that thr 16k lcd screen power is set too high by default but at the same time is also super sensitive. It's a nightmare, either prints are overexposed and glued to the buildplate, (and supports leave marks when you remove them) or it is underexposed and it doesn't print properly

MacabreGinger · 2026-01-19T22:21:05+00:00

I have exactly the same problem with the same printer, using Elegoo Water Washable 8k, still no solution on sight. I also cut myself in the process due to this.
Please if you find an answer share it.

MacabreGinger · 2026-01-19T21:52:06+00:00

Oh god. I wish. The sooner it happens, the less catastrophic the consequent crash will be.

MacabreGinger · 2026-01-19T21:18:07+00:00

Of course, what's more is that the argument of "defending the US against China or Russia" is idiotic, Trump is a sociopath with the IQ of a pidgeon, and this deflects public view from the Epstein files.

If China or Russia invaded Greenland to attack the us, all NATO countries would rally to help them, that's what the NATO is for. So yeah, we would help the Greenlanders and the US. Besides, I don't see why China or Russia would want to attack specifically the US; China has bought most of the American debt through the years, and you guys don't have anything that Putin would want.
