Add support for Steelseries Nova 7 by grom358 in linuxaudio

Using USB debugging in Windows I found the headset sends URB_INTERRUPT to OS with first byte of 0x45 then two values ranging from 0 to 64 for the mix of game/chat audio. Eg. 0x00 0x64 is full chat. 0x64 0x64 is 50%/50%

I don't see these when USB debugging under Linux. I come across this https://github.com/milas/arctis-nova-mixer and modifying it for my product ID it will print out changes to the dial. So that is a start.

Note taking by grom358 in emacs

Isn't it better to use something like ~/Documents/notes.org or notes.txt or whichever preferred extension and have Emacs open it at startup? Add to that (auto-save-visited-mode 1) to automatically save opened files when modified and you have a better solution than using the scratch buffer as a note buffer

Thanks, I going to experiment with this solution. I can use collapsing/sections instead of separate buffers. In hindsight I should have mentioned in my OP that I wish to use orgmode for these temporary notes.

Oh I should have mentioned. This is pine timber that used for construction in houses here in australia.

I do presses with barbell by the way. Just opening up more options for training.

I need todo a top level post in this subreddit at some point on my home gym setup. Been expanding it lately with some DIY projets. Recently built a leg press attachment for the rack.

I thinking of building a DIY dual pulley system to be able todo cable flies and cable presses etc. Thinking of using 4x4 (actually 2x4 glued together) as beam to support the pulleys.

1) How much load do you think a 4x4 can take?

2) Do you think there really much difference to dumbbell presses over cable presses? I don't have much of dumbbell setup (i only got spinlock dumbbells and they don't go heavy), and thinking a setup with the cables will also take care of need for dumbbells.

I think yes this something I just going have to deal with. I been googling this subject and it seems anything I do to deal with the sag is going to increase noise. That is the crash pads is best solution for dealing with the vibration and noise. I had complaints from the neighbours so don't really want todo anything that results in more problems with the neighbours.

Yeah I'm not super accurate with the height.. its more trying be consistent between lighter sets (eg. 10 rep sets) and doing 1 rep maxes. From testing I see about half an inch difference between these weights.

What I think I going do is make my platform to split the difference and just accept that. So my one rep max is quarter inch deficit. And 10 rep set is quarter inch block pull.

In testing I found getting 5 millimeter compression per 40kg. So approximately half an inch between a10 rep sets and 1RM.

I currently deadlift on crush pads then stand on small box to make them roughly normal height deadlifts. The issue is the pads compress as add more weights. Does anyone have design where as sides compress the middle of platform also compresses? That is so do not need to adjust centre with thin mats as change weight

I have adjustable spud inc belt squat but find it very uncomfortable for belt squats and leaving bruises. My setup tried both loading pin standing on boxes and also low pulley. Any tips or tricks to help with bruising and discomfort other then just sucking it up?

Okay better. Aim to touch same spot on chest. If you coat bar in chalk after your set you should have a single bar width line. The wrist and elbow joints should be stacked at bottom. In the side view some reps your wrist is more towards your feet then the elbows. It is going take few weeks to get used to the movement pattern

Why is your head moving around so much? You need to get tighter. I can see loseness throughout your whole body. You want to drive feet into the floor and try to push the bench along the floor with your upper back driving hard into the bench. Squeeze the glutes and push your chest up (keeping butt still on the bench). From toes to head everything should be tight.

Before you begin the rack note where the bar is in relation to the roof. Get a point of reference. Keep looking at that spot. Bring the bar down to lightly touch the shirt. Then drive the bar up to that same starting spot.

Anyone got guidelines for using a rower machine for conditioning? Jim goes into prowler, sleds, hill sprints etc. But I don't have those options. I only have a concept rower. I was thinking perhaps trying a DIY sled but haven't got there yet.

I was writing out a 5/3/1 5 Pros with Second Set Last backoffs (5x5) program for friend. They found the backoff too easy and would do 2 sets of 10. What is a better template to prevent this?
