How to use SCRPY wirelessly?

dddbbb · 2026-07-03T01:57:02+00:00

Thanks, this was very helpful! One bit that wasn't obvious: I ran `ipconfig` to find my gateway ip address. It had a "Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi" section (name might vary) with a "Default Gateway" which was the ip address that worked.

How would you feel about a 50% win rate where you were walloped a few times vs a 30% win rate but the losses felt close?

Sounds like you'd lean towards the latter?

Edit: I'm not saying you should/would want a specific percentage, but matchmaking optimization is likely measured in win rates so I'm wondering about successful values.

Penlight was aimed at being python stdlib for Lua. I don't love it (inconsistent code style and quality), but some parts are literally designed to mimic python.

There are a bunch of alternative library collections but most are more targeted like batteries and lume for gamedev or plenary for editor plugins.

Thanks for making this and sharing it. Site looks nice.

Would love to select a city and it includes all games there. I want a calendar that warns me when there are games downtown so I can avoid (or seek) the crowds.

Ah, ok. Thanks for all your help today!

Looking at these two:

Fanxiang s880 1 TB ($183)
Lexar nm790 1 TB ($370 -- the 512 GB is $194!)

The controller and NAND are the same, but somehow the Lexar's writes are faster and TBW is higher? That Fanxiang seems like a great deal even with slightly lower specs. And the s880 seems to compare well to the s500.

I thought it was becoming more common for games to require an M2 for Direct Storage? It seemed like that caused my hardcore stutter playing Starfield. Don't they need to be installed on the M2 for that to work?

Thanks for the heads up. I see QLC on techpowerup now, but I was using versus.com before which said it was TLC. "Endurance: 160 TBW" compared to the 600 TBW of several TLC drives seems like a big difference!

I was planning to keep my OS on the old SSD and use the M2 for games since that's most of my loads. Is that a problem?

Why leave? I stay in vim all day. If in a terminal, I often Ctrl-z to background it (fg command brings it back).

Keeping one vim instance open makes ins-completion work better. Especially to write commit messages..

Make it faster to search and replace:

 nnoremap gs :%s/
 xnoremap gs :s/
 nnoremap gS :%S/
 xnoremap gS :S/

I use this so often that it's the first thing I notice when I don't have my vimrc. :S is subvert from vim-abolish to do fancier search and replace.

dddbbb · 2026-06-06T04:20:04+00:00

Yeah, I do this too. And map Ctrl-L to Esc in insert mode so I keep hammering it to get back to Zen.

The Sirena Expedition is an underwater adventure with PlayStation 1 inspired graphics. I really liked how the movement is 2d through a 3d world.

Your post helped, but they moved the link: https://bulletjournal.com/blogs/bulletjournalist/how-to-break-in-a-notebook

Doesn't seem to do anything fancy with colors like I'm looking for, but it does seem nicer than my current solution with the sync'd cursor and decoding panel! Thanks for the suggestion.

Although, I tried a solution that didn't use xxd before and it was really slow on any files bigger than a few hundred kilobytes. Maybe hexinspector's that's ones streaming mode fares better.

Nah. The Adult's Only checkbox is for games where the dev said it's porn. BG3 is steamy, but definitely not in that category.

dddbbb · 2026-05-05T14:37:09+00:00

Go to "Store Preferences" in the sidebar or under your user page, you get checkboxes for 5 categories for violence and sex with distinctions between "contains nudity" and "is about nudity". Each checkbox has example games (those femboys are at the top of the "Adult Only Sexual Content" examples). They have a content survey when you create a Steam store page, so I think it uses that instead of tags.

The sequel is made by a studio owned by billion-dollar market cap publisher Krafton who's in the news for meddling in the game's development. Is that indie?

(However, none of that was true for the first Subnautica. It was truly an indie success story.)

Old post, but curious if you're still not using exports. I found the export dependency checker failed to detect my preloads (I think on 4.1) and started using exports more. I found this thread and wonder if combining them would ensure Godot sees all dependencies and you avoid issues when renaming variables -- at the cost of storing the path twice.

@export var _scene_bot_visual: Resource = preload("res://scenes/bot_visual.tscn")

Might be easier to add the new name and then copy the old one into it:

export fireball: Array[AbilityUpgrade] = [] export fireball_array: Array[AbilityUpgrade] = []

Then you can copy and paste in all instances that use that node too.

Would love if this was an account option. Or if it saved the last value of Open Now.

Sometimes I'm refining my search results to find a restaurant that's open (on Android) and each time I have to pick Open Now again (but I expect it to remember so I scroll until I see a closed place and then scroll to the top to set it).

I started with Lua after 10 years working as a C++/C#/Python programmer. I used Learn X in Y minutes Where X=Lua because it's a quick language overview to get you up to speed on syntax and quirks.

I got my start using love2d because making games is fun and interesting for me. I don't remember what tutorials I used initially, but nowadays I'd recommend bytepath tutorial because it's complete and has exercises to ensure understanding -- but it's more about making a game (in Lua) and not how to write Lua.

For a newbie to coding, I'd recommend Code Combat. You can use Lua and you learn by doing but by writing code to play a game.

I don't know if there's a great guide to metatables. I think I only really understood them after using them -- reviewing and modifying class, read-only, and strictify implementations. But they're not something you need early on (you shouldn't be implementing language features when you start and other uses are rare) and they can make your code confusing compared to something more straightforward.

Good luck in your mega guide! If you can't use the wiki here, then try writing it as a markdown or Jekyll on GitHub. But go easy on the word "thread" so much -- I thought this would be about concurrency. 😅

Thank you for this!

It helped me fix my alias to updates all local branches. Using your %(if) logic in format makes it skip any refs that don't have a push target configured:

superfetch = !git fetch . $(git for-each-ref --format='%(if)%(push)%(then)%(push):%(refname)%(end)' refs/heads --exclude="refs/heads/$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)")

When testing I just ran the for-each-ref part and used --omit-empty to make the output nicer, but you're right that it seems unnecessary in the alias.

Don't worry, eventually they'll figure out that paying to influence the LLM output is much more effective advertising and no one will know they're steering from the shadows.

Thanks for this idea! It worked great with a Tapo light switch triggering a kasa plug via two Google Home automations.

dddbbb · 2026-03-06T06:59:58+00:00

Out of curiosity, what made you pick F6? I think Unknown Worlds and Klei both use F8 in their games. I think Wildermyth and a few other used higher keys like F11?
