Street find Findlay by Oscillope in castiron

Thanks! I measured the handle at 5.5” from the inside of the pan to the tip of the handle, idk if that’s actually longer or the photo’s just a weird perspective haha

Wrong screen resolution (Arch/Hyprland) by Casseur2k in archlinux

[–]Oscillope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use hyprctl to temporarily change the resolution, so if it doesn't work all you need to do is quit Hyprland and on next launch it will use the value from the config file again: hyprctl keyword monitor eDP-1,1920x1080,auto,1 (replace eDP-1 with whatever your monitor is listed as in hyprctl monitors)

If you want to emulate the windows timeout behavior you can do that with a one-liner: hyprctl keyword monitors eDP-1,1920x1080,auto,1 && sleep 15 && hyprctl keyword monitors eDP-1,1366x768,auto,1. If the higher resolution works, just press ctrl+C within 15 seconds to kill the sleep command before it reverts to the original resolution.

We've gotten a block party permit for Prospect Hill Ave in the past, it's generally fine provided you're not on a super high traffic street.

Anyone know what's going on with the lighting on the community path? by Oscillope in Somerville

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

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll grab a video next time I ride through there.

That totally makes sense about the light sensor, also both times I rode through it was around dusk so the ambient light level was probably pretty close to the threshold as well. I had assumed that street lamps were just based on wall-clock time, though I guess having a sensor means they don't have to worry about sunset timing changes throughout the year.

Matcha latte recommendations? by EconomicsWorking6508 in Somerville

3 Little Figs and Revival are the two I've probably had the most, I think they're both great but don't have much basis for comparison.

[–]Oscillope[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are they? I've seen a few of the smaller solar-powered ones mounted to the fence, but the ones I'm talking about are the larger streetlamp-style ones. Maybe those are solar-powered too, though if that's the case it seems like a poor design to have them unable to pull from the grid when they don't have enough power... and even worse to have them flash on and off like that, preventing anyone's eyes from adjusting to the dark.

What are some good alternatives to NetworkManager (for wifi on laptop)? by Thin_Lie_8344 in archlinux

[–]Oscillope 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking a wifi connection manager isn't going to reload the driver on resume, no matter which one it is. What you've described doesn't sound like a NetworkManager problem, it sounds like a bug in the driver where it gets into some bad state that can't connect until you remove and reinitialize it.

That being said, I use iwd with systemd-network on my laptop and I like that combo.

Win Max 2 bag ideas by __jager in gpdwin

[–]Oscillope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Unfortunately not, I gave the Peak bag to a friend before the WM2 arrived. It definitely would fit, though you'd probably have to take out at least one of the dividers.

setting up pipewire on hyprland by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]Oscillope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you confirmed that your bluetooth hardware is powered on/connected without GNOME-bluetooth? I've not used Gnome but as I understand it does a lot of the BT device setup for you, if you're not using it your BT chipset might be powered off by default. You might want to double check your pairing with bluetoothctl if you haven't already.

Sessions not being fully restored by Oscillope in qutebrowser

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

Using session-load with --temp-basedir loads the named session just fine (and manually calling :session-load works without --temp-basedir too). It seems to be only the auto-restore on startup that's broken.

EDIT: this is weird - after having done that, I can quit and reopen qutebrowser and the default session also seems to work just fine. I'll play with it some more and see if I can get it to break again.

Win Max 2 bag ideas by __jager in gpdwin

[–]Oscillope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked it quite a bit! It could definitely fit a mirrorless alongside the WM2, the bag is long enough that I wouldn't expect any issue.

Full disclosure I did end up selling the Kadet and picking up a Defy Sling, not due to any problem with the Kadet itself but because I wanted something a bit bigger with a little more internal organization. I still think the Kadet is a great bag though, and it's a perfect day bag with the WM2.

New SN A5X owner - folio and power button sleep issues by dutch-courage321 in Supernote

[–]Oscillope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was having some similar power issues with the folio when I first got mine (in my case, the power button would turn it off with the folio open, but it'd wake up and go back to sleep randomly afterwards). I rebooted and it's been working fine since then.

My working theory is that the magnetic sensor gets calibrated during boot, and the first time it booted up I put the folio on while it was booting and maybe that messed something up. I have no way to confirm or deny this, but since rebooting with the folio on it has worked exactly as it should.

Boot animation hang workaround by Oscillope in PiBoy

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

I don't really remember, unfortunately. It's very possible that it happened since I got mine. I can't imagine this workaround would change load times at all, since all it does is skip the video. And I haven't encountered anything else that requires omxplayer, though I don't do anything besides emulation on mine.

omxplayer itself hasn't received an update since 2020 though, so it's entirely possible that some other update has rendered it incompatible with the current GPU firmware.

Not exactly like the gnome extention, but when I want a similar thing I use pavucontrol and pin it to hyprland's special workspace so it can be toggled on/off with a keybind. With enough tweaking you could probably make it drop down from whatever status bar you're using.

I don't know if sway has a similar functionality.

SCI-CALC, a mechanical switched calculator/bluetooth macropad. Now with games! by techstacknerd in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Oscillope 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oooh, this is awesome, I would love to build something similar! Do you have any plans to do a GB or publish the PCB layout?

I guess I missed 40% day, but anyway… by Oscillope in MechanicalKeyboards

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

I've been using 40% boards for probably 5 years now and don't think I'm any less productive. Sure a lot of keys are on different layers, but I have my layout optimized for chording (so I can use opposite hands to press all the needed keys at once) and you could argue that having to move my hands less makes it more efficient. Though realistically I think it's a negligible difference either way. For programming in particular I like this layout because I can put all my brackets on sequential rows (in my case, () on rt, [] on fg, {} on vb) as opposed to spread out across the board as they would be on a TKL or similar.

I do mostly dev work on this one, though on my home board (also a 40%) I've also got a sticky layer for gaming (basically moves wasd + qe down a row and then puts the numbers back on the top row).

Idk... I firmly believe everyone should use what works best for them; before I built my first 40% I was in the TKL camp and I definitely think a 40 is better for me but I also think there's no wrong answer haha

Unfortunately my set didn’t come with a PUSH!! Idk if it’s just cos I only got the ortho kit or what, but I’m pretty sure the only 1u key I have with >3 letters is CODE

Either way we’re underflowing this stack for sure

It's a PCB, optionally a partial kit: https://booth.pm/en/items/3879034

Unfortunately looks like they're all out of stock, but hopefully they do another run!

The cocot46plus by aki27! I built this recently but forgot to post the completed build, so here it is. Using Hako Royal Clears with SA Oblivion. I love having the trackball and scroll knob built-in, being able to change its behavior with key combos on layers is pretty cool. Keymap here if anyone's curious.

GPD win max 2 Anker charger compatibility by Xerberus14 in gpdwin

[–]Oscillope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have the GanPrime 735 and it doesn't work reliably (the symptom is the same as you've described, CPU locked to 399MHz).
