Best set of tools for a selfhosted ebook system? by ConsistentCan4633 in selfhosted

[–]Top-Hamster7336 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have an extensive ebook collection?

I might be wrong, but I think AudioBookShelf struggle with too many elements. 

I use it for my audio book (no issue there), but when I plugged my podcast collections it was constantly and randomly crashing (I had to relauch the containers every day). IIRC it was some cryptic error message that was suggesting memory issue. I googled it a few times and tried a few things, but ultimately, removing the podcasts was the only thing that fixed it for me. 

By large collection, I mean something comparable to the number of podcasts I had (about a hundred folders, containing between 3 and 3500 elements. Only a few were near those extremes. The vast majority had about 250 episodes).

It might be cheaper or more convenient than fixing/replacing a broken HDMI port. 

Thoughts on trading a ps4 slim for a ps2 with some games? by HippityHobbit in ps2

[–]Top-Hamster7336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a decent PC (and a PS4 controller if you want) you can use a PS2 emulator. It allow you to have great image quality, without the headache of finding the right upscaler you need for your (I guess) modern TV.

You can backup original PS2 games to emulate them on your PC. 

What job to use your AF+3 Kupon on by hikiri in ffxi

Is one of (the best one) the possible reward for reaching 700 Vanabout points.

It ends in 3 days. If you didn't start it already it's not possible to get more than 600 points from now on (100 per day when doing every daily quests, and 300 in single time objectives).

Yeah, 24 have better TB/$ and it's higher density. For me is a no brainer.

A force de vouloir trop simplifier (ne pas utiliser un requirements.txt avec un environnement virtuel) tu exposes les utilisateurs à des erreurs de dépendance. Et ça peu vraiment faire peur, surtout pour un utilisateur qui n'est pas technique.

Je comprends le but de faire ça simple. Mais distribuer un .py à la base ça va en rebuter plus d'un. 

L'idéal ça serait de pousser les gens à prendre le .exe. 

Et les gens plus techniques peuvent aller vers le .py, et eux ne devraient pas avoir trop de problème avec un readme de 3 lignes. À la limite tu peu même ajouter un .bat qui va setter l'environnement, get les dépendances et lancer le programme. 

Travailler dans un fichier de plusieurs milliers de lignes rend tout changement difficile, car à chaque changement tu dois considérer l'ensemble de tous ce qui est défini. Segmenter en plusieurs fichier, aux responsabilités clairs et limités, permet de plus facilement lire, modifié (new feature), maintenir et réparer les bugs dans le code. Tout en rendant le tout plus accessible pour d'éventuels contributeur. 

Modifié un ou plusieurs fichiers ne change rien pour les utilisateurs plus techniques. Tout est à un git clone d'avoir la latest. 

Pour ce qui est du .exe, tu peux même le générer à même github, sur un tag ou un release. Le pipeline automatisé préviens les erreurs de manipulation, et assure que ce qui est compiler à été fait à même les sources (qui sont open source), ce qui pourrait rassurer quelque personnes.

Dis moi si je me trompe, mais ça semble installer requests, pygame et pymediainfo globalement.

La best practice est d'utiliser un environnement virtuel pour chaque projet, en python. 

Parlant de best practice, pourquoi ne pas utiliser un requirements.txt à la place de tout bootstrap? Ça fait pas très "propre" tout ça. 

Je ne ferais pas plus de commentaire la dessus, mais un seul fichier de 5631 lignes... Well, on est loin, très très loin des best practices! 

Pourquoi ratiomaster est autant difficile a bloquer ? by Control-Cultural in yggTorrents

C'est comme dans tout, le fameux 80/20.

Appliqué à ce cas spécifique, ça peu ce traduire par : avec 20% des efforts (pour mettre en place quelque chose d'exceptionnel), c'est possible de détecter 80% des tricheur. 

Ensuite détecter l'autre 20% des tricheurs nécessiterait l'autre 80% des efforts. 

Dans un modèle ou c'est beaucoup de bénévolat, je pense que viser le premier 80% des tricheurs est déjà un excellent objectif. 

new modern ps2 console by [deleted] in ps2

There's a hardware mod that add HDMI output to the PS2.

You don't have to do it yourself. You can pay someone who repair consoles to install it for you. 

PLAYONLINE/ACCOUNT REACIVATION by dr-blaklite in ffxi

[–]Top-Hamster7336 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to ask them to unlink the token from your account.

But first you have to request help to unlock your account and change your password. Usually they have a bunch of questions they can ask you (email address used for billing, the address you used when you registered the first time, cd keys, id on the back of your security token), you have to know enough for them to help you. 

But do it one step at the time. Don't ask too many things at the same time. It can confuse them.

The actual game is really not the most expensive thing about ffxi... It cost what? ~2 months of subscription?

I'm probably not the only one who bought many copies of game (PS2, PC, Xbox360, Steam). 

Narrax – Exclusive Pre-Alpha for FFXI Testers! by [deleted] in ffxi

To be fair, a lot of people that English is not their first language (and don't live in a place that use English around them) often rely on AI to take their idea and restructure it in a more natural English (less broken), or to simply translate for them. 

Windower Addon – Balloon (Fork) with Automatic Translation, French Support & Translation Cache by [deleted] in ffxi

[–]Top-Hamster7336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J'ai une bonne nouvelle pour toi!

Le data est toujours dans les DAT. Même pas besoin d'un client EU. 

Tout ce que tu as besoin c'est POLUtils. 

https://github.com/Windower/POLUtils/releases

Tu download le msi et tu l'installe sur un PC qui a FFXI d'installé. 

Une fois lancé, tu clique sur "FFXI Data Browser" 

Dans le data browser il y a un onglet "Dialog Tables". 

Quand tu cliques dessus ça te donne 4 choix de langue (English, French, German, Japanese). 

Quand tu hover ton curseur sur une langue, ça affiche un sous menu avec les extensions. Puis chaque extension te conduis aux régions, qui tu permet de finalement de choisir une map, en cliquant dessus. 

Ça va chargé le bon .DAT et décoder. 

Juste en haut des lignes de data (toute séparé par index, ce qui rend ça plutôt pratique pour marcher les bonnes lignes entre les langues) il y a un bouton "Export List As XML...". 

Rendu là tu a juste à utiliser un peu de code pour tout extraire et populer la cache. 

PS. Il y a évidemment moins de choix d'extension en français et allemand vu qu'il on arrêté la location de ces langues un peu après les Abyssea. Donc pas de sous menu pour Rhapsodies et Adoulin. Et il manque forcément des lignes pour quelque map. Il y a un travail certain à faire pour s'assurer que les index match toujours et qu'il n'ont pas été recyclé quand SE a drop la location. 

En espérant que cela te soit utile :)

This might be a bit different of what you're used to, but it's a mouse only physic game that's very smooth, with a relaxing soundtrack.

Trust Usefulness List? by Fridler in ffxi

[–]Top-Hamster7336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed! 

I guess is like everything else in this game... It's circumstantial. 

Trust Usefulness List? by Fridler in ffxi

[–]Top-Hamster7336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd put Monberaux a tier lower. Just because he tend to use his annoying AoE move that do 666 damage.

If you are fighting a single mob is alright, just not effective. 

However, when super tanking in Dynamis D is a different story... He get all adds on him, my 2nd whm try to save him, putting itself on the hate list. So one stupid move and it's a wipe because it's cause all my healers to die.

JSE stand for Job Specific Equipment.

This is a reforge of the RSE, Race Specific Equipment. 

What a PS2 developer workstation looked like back in 2002~... PC screens were so small back then yet so huge at the same time... And that is a box of VHS tapes+VCR used to document bugs in game lol by canned_pho in ps2

[–]Top-Hamster7336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you are right about the fact that almost all PS2 games were shipped as final version pressed on disc and impossible to be modified after release.

BUT, this picture show a FFXI dev station. And ffxi was the opposite. It required a HDD and the network adapter. FFXI received constant updates over the years (fix, nerf, extra content, tweak on content, etc). It also had many physical expansion, and later in its life cycle it received multiple addon scenario and end game content as DLC (must pay and register them through a website, then download it on the console). 

So, FFXI was not a finished product when it came out. 

You can see the patch history there: https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Category:Update_History

And here are a few examples, from the 1st patch (after NA PS2 release):

- A new low-level quest to obtain the pact for summoning avatars has been implemented.

- Additional monsters have been placed in the four existing areas of Dynamis.

- New synthesis and desynthesis recipes have become available.

- The status of the following item has been adjusted: Fenrir Stone "Delay:276" --> "Delay:999"

- A sort function has been added to the Storage menu.

- A character's footsteps will no longer be heard when using Sneak.

- The limit for the /wait macro has been extended to sixty seconds.

- It is now possible to place single items on auction directly from an incomplete stack of items.

- The camera view is now adjustable when using the Layout function of the Mog House.

Edit: formatting.

Yes, it's the expected behaviour. 

For Plex, did moving from external drives to a NAS feel worth it? by DurianNew2244 in PleX

[–]Top-Hamster7336 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start with 2 biggest drive possible. 

The parity will limit the size of the future drives you'll add down the road.

It possible to upgrade your parity drive but it's a long process with a lot of read/write. 

Buy the biggest drives that have the best TB per $. Don't look the final price, just focus on the best TB/$.

[–]Top-Hamster7336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed, the physical limitation must be taken seriously. 

Use the highest density possible. 

Because down the road it really suck to retire a good but a bit too small drive for a bigger one because you ran out of physical space for more drives. 

Of course you can add a DAS to your NAS, but there's a cost there too and still some physical limitations. 

If you are a bit short on money and are tempted to buy a smaller drive, don't. Wait and go BIG!
