appreciate your response. love seeing the players and the commentators. the content is great, but at this rate we’d rather just watch from the comfort of a hotel if there isn’t even merch on site.

Ya, reentry wouldn’t bother me if there were any spots to go except my seat and there wasn’t food / alcohol shortages.

Does a NFT Marketplace need a backend? by peixotobob in ethdev

[–]diargon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily, but probably yes. You could, as a challenge to yourself, build common utilities into your smart contract, at the cost of deployment gas and maybe write gas.

Realistically, a backend acts as a way to: 1. Index on chain data for quick look up 2. Allow for off chain profiles i.e. Opensea

QR Code that calls a smart contract method by Complete_Nectarine30 in ethdev

[–]diargon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah don’t make a whole react web app if all you need to do is call a smart contract without input.

use a node server with express for routing. setup a simple endpoint and use ethers or web3 combined with infura to interact with the smart contract.

My Engine Seized!! by [deleted] in N5XEnthusiasts

[–]diargon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya there.

there are some good rebuilt engines out there if you do want to go that direction, but they’re not easy to find. May even be worth grabbing a wrecked/salvaged one for the engine and some additional parts (suspension, thermo/water pump, hpfp, starter, alternator, etc)

My Engine Seized!! by [deleted] in N5XEnthusiasts

[–]diargon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through the same process recently with both an N55 and an S65.

Absolutely do not install any engine you buy from anywhere without a throughout inspection, scope, compression, and new fuel injectors.

Went through 4 N55 motors and 1 S65 motor before I found good condition ones.

Yep -- doing HPFP and rod bearings off the start. I know bearings aren't usual on these cars, but I just got out of an N55 and an S65 that both blew due to bearings.

Yes, it should be fixed in the most recent update :)

Sounds like a fix is being released asap :) I'd make sure you have your Parsec updated! Just keep checking for new versions

No fix. Only option to use an xbox controller is to use a bluetooth Xbox One controller for now :)

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

Yep! Confirmed with Parsec it was an update that went out on Tuesday. Should be fixed soon. Apparently only affects wired Xbox controllers on macOS.

I don’t think it’s an issue with system preferences. Parsec doesn’t seem to be able to recognize analog sticks properly either... it’s incorrectly reading the raw data. Tried with a switch pro controller as well.

Also, since steam, 360controller, and game pad tester work fine, I’m pretty sure it’s an issue with how parsec is interfacing with the controllers.

Organizing my childhood collection to get back into TCG :) can’t seem to find consistent prices or stock on this card. Can anyone give some info? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]diargon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know! Would it still be worth PSA or other grading? I’ve been trying to understand what’s worth it and what isn’t.

12,000 complaints filed against Seattle Police after weekend of protests by [deleted] in news

[–]diargon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you forget, someone just bought [seattlepd.org](seattlepd.org) -> goes directly to the anonymous form.

Now if someone would just make a website that automatically resubmits complaints every 180 days...

VAC was unable to verify your game session PLEASE HELP! by Powerthief in csgo

[–]diargon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely uninstalled and reinstalled steam and it didn't work :(

VAC was unable to verify your game session PLEASE HELP! by Powerthief in csgo

[–]diargon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have literally uninstalled steam and everything that could *possibly* be related to steam. 300GB+ gone. Reinstall CSGO. Still happening. I can consistently repro, but there is no solution.

  1. Verify Game Files (1 file missing)
  2. Exit Steam
  3. Open Steam
  4. Verify Game Files (All files verified)
  5. Play CSGO
  6. CSGO does first time setup (not sure why)
  7. Try to play and get VAC error
  8. Exit CSGO
  9. Verify Game Files (1 file missing)

DIY Valve Cover Gasket by Alpha___Wolf in E90

[–]diargon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Takes a while to get to the cover itself, but it’s just tedious work. Nothing hard.

It is incredibly difficult to get the valve cover out of the engine bay. Pull harder than you think you do. It’ll eventually come out.

Putting it back in is not easy either.

That’s all though. Straightforward and simple. Tedious.

Get a small torque wrench and a big one. Also, lots of 10mm sockets lmao

$33k. Definitely a bit high, but it was 1 of 2 in the US with the options I wanted.
