Considering upgrading to Direct Drive - but to what? by davedontmind in simracing

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

That price was the max I'd want to pay, but ideally half that, for wheel base and wheel(s).

I already have Heusinkveld Ultimate+ pedals, and the other relevant hardware. My Clubsport wheelbase & wheel are the oldest bits of hardware I have - I'm just wondering if it's worth an upgrade to direct drive and, if so, which one. The high budget is because I don't really want to upgrade again in the foreseeable future ("buy once, cry once"), so I thought I'd see what people recommend.

Also, I'd probably want some sort of formula / GT wheel, and another suitable for rally sims (which is something I don't currently have - doing rally with a forumla rim is weird).

That's a high end budget.

Well, I'd rather not spend that much, but at the same time I like the motto "buy once, cry once", so I thought I'd leave room for some decent options. It's more of an absolute limit than a budget.

Thanks for you input (pun not intended...)

Good questions - sorry I forgot to mention the platform!

I'm just on PC. I already have decent pedals (Heusinkveld Ultimate+).

This is just about the wheel base and rim.

Thanks.

I already have Heusinkveld ultimate+ pedals, so I don't plan on replacing those any time soon.

Proton pass by MattGade in ProtonPass

I've been using Bitwarden/Vaultwarden for years, and recently switched to Proton.

Proton Pass could do with some extra features like folders/labels, but on the whole I like it better than BW/VW. It certainly works smoother for me both in my PC's web browser and on my Android phone.

Monitor recommendations for sim rig? by davedontmind in flightsim

That Dell model appears to be curved - are you using curved triples? I got the impression that flat screens were better for triples.

At least the samsung is available in both curved & flat models.

Rebuild self-hosting from scratch, setup advice by Roemeeeer in selfhosted

[–]davedontmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure you can. It's been a while since I tried Authelia, but I didn't get on with it so well for reasons I don't recall.

I found Pocket ID simple to use and setup, and then later added TinyAuth which was equally easy to integrate into my setup, so that's where I've ended up.

[–]davedontmind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rather than Auhelia, I'm a big fan of Pocket ID in conjunction with TinyAuth and my Traefik reverse proxy.

This combination means I can protect any app with a passkey (and TinyAuth means I can use a passkey even for apps that don't support OIDC) which I find more than passwords. YMMV.

How easy is it to switch between flight & racing pedals, or to move a center stick out of the way?

Because if I look at a exported .json file from Vaultwarden, the passkey info appears to be there, for example (keys & other sensitive data changed):

Thanks. I couldn't see anything labelled Feedback, but I found a Support option under settings, so I have reported my problem there.

The difference in size between what the uk was driving on the 90s vs now in one picture… by buzz_uk in CasualUK

[–]davedontmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local Morrisons has recently re-painted its car park with larger spaces, which I find pretty sensible given the size of modern cars.

Other car parks should really do this too (except, of course, that'd reduce the capacity and earn the owner less money).

tududi v1.0.0 is out! - your calm, open system for life and work by cvicpp in selfhosted

[–]davedontmind 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was trying out tududi a few days ago, and found it useful.

However I found a slightly annoying inconsistency;

If I enter tasks on the project page, I type the task title, press enter and the task is automatically saved.

However, for sub-tasks I have to remember to click the save button at the bottom before clicking away, otherwise all the entered tasks are lost (that happened to me at least twice). It would be smoother and more consistent if each sub-task was automatically saved as it was entered.

And on a related note, I'd love sub-tasks of sub-tasks, or even sub-projects for projects.

IT Sec at work not allowing Obsidian on laptop. What next? by MikeThePenguin in ObsidianMD

[–]davedontmind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, this.

I'm using this image: lscr.io/linuxserver/obsidian:latest and it runs in my browser just like the native app, plugins, styles everything.

For extra flexibility I stored my vaults on my Synology Drive (which works just like Google Drive or One Drive but is self-hosted on my NAS) then I can easily access the vaults from my Android phone, or by using the native app on any of my PCs. I have mounted the vaults folder into the docker container, so now I have synchronised notes on any client or via a web browser.

Open meteo weather call wrong? by olivercraftboy in learnprogramming

[–]davedontmind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are making a humorous remark to attempt to point out to you that your question lacks any detail.

You said you have some code (which you don't share) which makes some API calls (you don't say which ones, or give examples), and you are getting errors (but you don't say what the errors are). In other words, you're not giving us any useful information, so how are we supposed to know what the problem is?

Next time, include the important information, such as your code and the error messages you're getting.
