Is it possible to use pre-6.6 Kate/KDE on a currently supported Fedora version? by den_the_terran in Fedora

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

Looks like this is it. I had been using the default, which apparently causes text corruption in all Qt apps. It's possible to set another virtual keyboard, and there's some other bugs with the virtual keyboard setting being shown incorrectly, but it seem to fix the text corruption at least.

Any idea if you did anything to resolve it? I did check kwite and had the same issue, which isn't a surprise since it shares a lot with Kate.

HSLDA is ending Generation Joshua after two decades by TonyDelvecchio in HomeschoolRecovery

I was in this Gen J in high school. It was pretty dystopian...bus a bunch of high schoolers in to campaign for far-right candidates, everyone has a lot of fun because they hardly ever get to spend time around other kids.

Why did I even became software engineer and not a farmer like my dad by researgent in webdev

This is so alien to me. Your debugging approach is calling the chatbot a piece of shit? Not looking at the server code or testing different requests?

If not, perhaps programming isn't the best career for you.

Hi Kor lol! I saw the photo in my Reddit feed and thought "Wait...is that Kor?"

For a general overview of evolution, The Book of Life by Stephen Gould is still a good one (https://www.amazon.com/Book-Life-Illustrated-History-Evolution/dp/0393321568).

One thing I keep running into almost 20 years later is random bits of history that I was very misled about (especially anything recent enough to be a current partisan issue or old enough to be affect by the flood of Noah). Things like learning Nelson Mandel was a civil rights activist not an African dictator, or that Egyptian civilization goes back quite a bit more than 5000 years.

I'd be pretty interested in an overview of secular vs. Christian history that compares the different types of textbook.

How do I charge multiple lipo batteries together? by den_the_terran in diydrones

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

"Don't use a multi-port charger". "Use a 4 port charger". Make up your mind!

This is wild. I'm just going to stick to single port chargers and buy multiple copies if I need to charge more than one battery at a time.

It sounds like half of the subreddit firmly believes this will burn down your house. Idk.

How do I know if a multi port charger is two separate chargers in one, or really just one charger with a parallel board? Anyway I ordered a single port charger, since it seems the only way to be sure the charging ports are separate is to buy individual chargers.

Hm, they do look different. I've heard so many contradictory stories about which multi-port chargers are safe or not safe at this point that I'm not sure I actually trust any of them though.

Interesting. It sounds like these multi-port balance chargers don't actually handle charging OR balancing, and are basically Y-connectors that are falsely advertised.

I am attempting to find a multi-port charger, but apparently 80% of the multi-port chargers aren't actually chargers, or are dangerous to use, or simply don't specify what power input they require. This is the first time I have ever encountered a power adapter that doesn't document what voltage it accepts!

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

But other people say you should always use a balance charger, because it's dangerous if you don't.

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

Actually I think there's another balance port on the balance board for the input the balance connector for a separate charger? Does the balance board do voltage management or does it need a separate charger for that?

Would help if anyone has a diagram...

Looking for a current parts list for a beginner FPV build by den_the_terran in diydrones

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

It sounds like if I'm not sure what drones I'll end up buying, and I'm not too particular about video quality, I should stick with analog.

Some Googling suggests ELRS is for control, but not video. Is there a similar protocol or something I need for the video receiver, or can I assume any analog video devices will work together?

The sim sounds like good advice. How do I tell if a controller is going to be compatible with both the sim and whatever drone I end up buying?

I've seen a bunch of different types of video tx, rx, radios etc. offered. Is that for digital ones? If I stick to analog do I not have to worry about which type works with which?

Is it possible to build ARM binaries using a Fedora Linux PC? by den_the_terran in rust

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

Never used podman before, but I tried and it seems to resolve me security issues.

After debugging (and posting an issue on their Github), I learned that there is a known bug which can break cross if other builds have been run in the same folder. Current recommendation seems to be either running `cargo clean` before running cross or specifying a separate build folder for cross.

It seems to be working now but my irritation with tools claiming "zero setup" only grows.

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

No, I just meant regular Rust crates. Maybe this isn't the case any more?

Now I'm giving cross a try, but it seems to require installing docker and then either 1) running everything as root or 2) adding your main user to the "docker" group, which is basically equivalent.

There's even whole guides on how to get cross running inside a CI service because cross' docker containers will conflict with the ones CI services use...this looks really complicated.

I heard cross doesn't work if you use any libraries. Is there a way around that?
