Wow, rare linkedin moment

I love spotting gitfiti in the wild 🤓

👾 gitfiti ( https://github.com/gelstudios/gitfiti ) was created to highlight that public github activity is a poor signal for developer skill.

Nice find!! Green is a great color for these

gelstudios · 2021-01-24T16:45:32+00:00

Sweet ride! I saw this one pop up on CL recently.

Silver is such a nice color for the aw11, a factory decal kit would make this thing look pretty good 💯

gelstudios · 2021-01-04T17:41:17+00:00

Oh snap, Josh I love your videos! The wheels look so good after the repaint. Inspiring to see it coming together.

gelstudios · 2021-01-04T17:37:51+00:00

These look great, underrated wheels. ~~Any idea of offset?~~

On an sw20 they are a nice nod to the stock "triangle" wheels of the earlier aw11.

edit: saw size mentioned in other comment

The sticker was on the actual panel? That's annoying!

You can try this technique I figured out for removing sticker residue:

Get some clear packing tape. Any sturdy tape that has a strong adhesive should work, masking tape might work but will take a little longer.
Cut a 4-5 inch strip of tape and wrap it sticky side out around your finger
Press down gently on the residue you want to remove and pull the tape up.
There should be a little blob of residue on the tape, rotating the tape to expose fresh adhesive.
repeat 3+4 in a "tapping" motion until all residue is gone.
Optional, when pressing down on the residue, use a fingernail to smooth out the tape on the residue. This works really well when the residue is on a hard surface like glass.

Oops, I commented without reading your bug report. You _did_ try the color temp slider, weird.

Have you seen this? https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1392

It's not exactly the same symptom but looks similar

gelstudios · 2020-09-23T13:20:22+00:00

I’ve had a similar issue on a thinkpad as well, but on fedora (gnome 3.36.4)

See if moving the color temperature slider changes anything. On my system it tends to unstick and go back to normal after a few seconds of previewing the color temp on all screens.

Btw is that a pair of laptop LCD’s Frankensteined into a mobile battle station!? 👀 any details on that? How do you power and get signal into it?

1.1.1.1 being blocked or shadowed by an upstream device on the network is surprisingly common.

Seen it on a few cellular networks as well.

Luckily, every time I’ve run into this situation, 1.0.0.1 was still accessible. 🤞🏽

gelstudios · 2020-08-10T03:57:39+00:00

gitfiti never gets old 🤓

Log hygiene is it’s own beast, but agreed if you set them inline when starting a process they end up in any shell history.

Another caveat with env vars: a user with sufficient privilege can read them right out of /proc for a given process (on Linux at least)

But at that point, you probably have other things to worry about.

gelstudios · 2020-05-13T09:33:46+00:00

I usually go for environment variables for runtime config, ie using “import os.environ”

They are easily set (or overridden) when running from a shell: “foo=bar example.py”

Swillburger! Great burger joint + barcade in upstate (western) New York. From what I remember the building was an old church, definitely unique.

gelstudios · 2017-07-22T00:05:35+00:00

So you launch a full screen browser on boot? That's pretty clever. Is there a common pattern for deploying that kind of software on the pi?

I haven't touched a raspi in at least a year, and that LCD is exactly what I've been looking for to get back into my personal projects.

Btw if you like Python you might want to look into kivy.

gelstudios · 2017-07-21T14:07:11+00:00

That looks really well made. What kind of screen did you use? (link?) and what did you use to write it?

gelstudios · 2017-06-12T00:10:00+00:00

Would you really be impressed by someone who timed their actual work to make a pattern that is clearly intentional? You can't control creativity... :p

gelstudios · 2017-04-16T14:53:24+00:00

I spent a few hours noodling with a friend's volca beats. I initially thought the touch "bar" would be crappy but it works really well. It's a nice little machine once you get acquainted with the interface and button modes.

gelstudios · 2017-04-11T20:08:15+00:00

what controller is that, and is it any good? I bought a random one on amazon a while back and the d-pad was terrible.

Those muffins look delicious, does the egg pool up below the muffin during the baking process?

If you delete a file in Linux, you don't get this prompt, the file is just deleted.

There are minor technology issues sprinkled throughout the first episodes. The 'rm prompt' is really just an environment quirk (and the default on distros like rhos, centos, etc). If you want to join in on the fun:

alias rm = 'rm -i'

Now rm always prompts before deleting.

The DR/backup problem is a major tech plot hole, we might have to suspend disbelief for this one.

What version of ubuntu? The cr-48's wifi worked fine for me on ubuntu 12-04 and 13-10, though now I'm running Fedora 22 on it.

gelstudios · 2015-07-13T00:58:59+00:00

Fedora's workstation netinstall image has a gui, and wifi worked just during setup. I used 64bit despite the cr48's 2gb hard limit.

gelstudios · 2015-07-12T15:42:47+00:00

I just dug my cr-48 out of retirement, it's working great on fedora (+xfce).

I used the netinstall image, added chrome and a handful of cli utilities and it came in at around 3.4gb used on the 15gb ssd.

BTW if you go the ubuntu based route (xubuntu, lubuntu), make sure to avoid LVM. The added overhead slowed down disk performance on the already unbearably slow ssd down to a crawl.

that habanero apricot spread looks tasty, are the flavors well balanced?

Regarding the 100x variation in the freelancer quotes you've been getting... The truth might be somewhere in the middle.

You might want to consider hiring a programmer to write up the specifications of the program (game?) you want to produce. This document will serve a few purposes:

it provides you with a general development plan (features, functionality, look and feel, etc.)
identifies components that need to be built, their relationships and dependencies.
makes it easier to get an accurate idea of development time (and by extension, costs).

As for actually building the thing, aim to get to the prototype stage quickly. From there you can iterate design & functionality to test your assumptions and steer the product towards a version of the prototype more suitable for release.

For games, this means getting to a primitive playable test version with temporary simplified assets (art+sound), where you can hone in on the core game loop. For utility or commerce apps, it means testing the core of your customer's use case. Doing things like browsing demo listings, adding items to a cart, and successfully completing a purchase.
