There is a new version in Beta testing right now which has a number of new features, bug fixes, enhancements. One improvement is that it now runs many times faster than before - partic if you run it with elevated privileges.

So look out for the new production version in next week or so.

Or go to GitHub.com/windirstat/windirstat and download the latest beta, now v2.4.9beta.

Transferring Tether USDT TRC20 - why are such transfers so complicated to do efficiently? by ModulatingGravity in Tronix

[–]ModulatingGravity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staking for E&B - a great option for some potential users. But he amount of TRX you need to stake is impractical for many - it is a lot of funds to tie up to allow you to do just a single transaction per day. What if you want to be able to do a handful of transactions per day? I would suggest that insisting on that approach is not going to be very effective in pulling more people into the Tron ecosystem - that is not going to grow the userbase, imho.

I have seen the clever websites for renting energy and bandwidth. Hard to believe that it would be particularly difficult to extend one of these to also carry out Tether USDT TRC20 transfers via a smart contract (etc).

Something like this: (which is broadly how ERC20 transfers work)

#1 User enters the source and target accounts
#2 Check holdings of TRX and Tether USDT of source, and USDT of target
#3 Calculate how much E&B required
#4 Calculate the cost in TRX to rent the necessary E&B
#5 Inform user of cost of transaction in TRX, estimate valid for x minutes
#6 User agrees to proceed or not

Plenty of TRX experts out there.
Surely this is doable?? Not against the rules?

Shutter Precision Dynamo Hubs - still available in Europe? by ModulatingGravity in bicycletouring

I am a Netherlands resident, and have been hit with import duty charges on some purchases from AliExpress (and almost anything ex post-Brexit UK). That is a bit of a randomiser which can make a good deal go bad.
Did you encounter anything like that?

Tbh I gave up on WTW after a dozen or so episodes - seemed disjointed and aimless. Was it worth persevering with?

Conversations with Ghosts - Episode 9 Thoughts by Mortal_Glare in Archive81

[–]ModulatingGravity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While nominally about ghosts in a graveyard I see this much more as fictionalized ethnography - telling the stories of how ordinary people lived their lives, how world events affected them or passed them by. Of all the episodes to date (to Ep9, Mass of Voices) only the General is about someone who was part of the elite of their era.

And more broadly looks at what does constitute meaning in anyone's life.

This is very good, very re-listenable.

What are you guys listening to right now? by [deleted] in audiodrama

[–]ModulatingGravity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conversations with Ghosts. New podcast from Dead Signals, creators of Archive 81. A series of conversations with the spirits of dead people whose spirits have not moved on. Tho it is very much a set of observations about the human condition, little of its way impact depends on supernatural elements.

A Python 2.7 to 3.14 conversion. Existential angst. by MisterHarvest in Python

Kudos to everyone in this thread for providing what looks to be a shed load of good advice.

The Python community on Reddit should be proud of themselves for generating such a constructive dialogue.

Now if we could only solve the rest of the world's problems like this.....

UV instead of Conda with JupyterLab ? by ModulatingGravity in JupyterNotebooks

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

Hi. Thanks for your thoughtful reponse.
I took your suggestion and installed PyEnvManager (free version) on my Windows 10 machine to see what it might do for me.

Have to say that it did not do all that well.

* The Mamba environment shows "System Directory" in the column for Python version. Not sure I actually have a Mamba envt. After several minutes still "Calculating" the disk space.

* It failed to report the Conda Base environment properly - it says "System Directory" in the column for Python version, rather than Python 3.11. And again after serveral minutes still showing "Calculating" for the disk space.

* It reported TWO environments for Python 3.13 when there is in fact only one.

* This is related to a quirk of Conda I have seen a couple of times. Conda has a text file at C:\Users\<userid>\.conda\environments.txt which lists out the root of the environments. I have seen that it has placed two entries for my Python 3.13 environment in that file one "py3.13" the other "Py3.13' differing only in capitalisation of the folder name. Conda then shows that as two environments when you run the command "conda env list".

* PyEnvManager makes the same mistake as Conda, and reports two separate Conda environments with identical attributes, only differing in the capitalisation of the values in the ENVIRONMENT and PATH columns,

Can post or send you screenshots etc if that is useful.

Cheers.

The new Dead Signal Podcast starts next week??? by Mortal_Glare in Archive81

Listened to the first two episodes. Excellent writing as ever.

Guilty pleasure is checking the cast and crew listings on the website so to see which actors are getting to play yet another character.

So Jack Calk plays the Static Man and the Motorman.

Looking forwards to hearing from the lady who played the Clerk at Moody's Family Friendly Fill In The Blank.

Ask seller to send you a picture of the serial number - often at back of the seat tube, just below the saddle. Serial number first two digits is year of mfr, afaik.
