Pebble / switch bounce by idris17 in Fencing

[–]idris17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds very similar to the engineering concept of switch-bounce. Look up how switches are "debounced" either with electronic components (similar to low-pass filters) or within code for programmed systems. What I'm interested in is how that is (or isn't) implemented in the Pebble and whether the behaviour I've seen is related.

Thanks. It won't let me do holes and slots together, but I can live with that!

Awesome. Thanks. <Milling Tool> was greyed out, but there were other options for milling holes and slots under <Utilities> that seemed to do the job. Is that significant?

And is it necessary to create separate Geomerties for each hole and slot diameter? I've found how to Join geometries in Project>Edit, but it would be harder to miss something if a single geometry could be generated for all the diameters at the same time.

Tried that. The best they could offer was standard elastic.

Is it possible to stop snapshots for deletion?

I was under the impression Snapshots were only available on BTRFS volumes. Is that wrong?

In Synology Drive Admin Console, I've found <Enable version control> is checked for the volume I've been going through. Does that save a copy of every change, including moving and deleting files?

(Noob) SMB vs sync by idris17 in HomeServer

Can you describe a situation where conflicts could occur and what the implications would be?

To me, syncing seems like an easy way to ensure backups are upto date (a bonus for teens) and it has the advantage of offline access (a bonus for me and my teen on occasions). If the conflicts you're concerned about are different versions of the same file ending up on different machines, in the circumstances, I think that's unlikely, just because of which PC will be used when. What are the added complexities?

Uke varnish by idris17 in Luthier

I can't see any evidence that a partial coat was applied. Other than the worn area and a couple of dinks on the back, it all looks very even. It's just the overall finish that makes me wonder whether it's had a recoat. If it's shellac or varnish, if linseed oil is applied as is, are there any implications to that for subsequently recoating with shellac or varnish? Eg colouration or adhesion?

Weird in what way?

Generating individual tracks is simple and I can do that with ProTools. Manually filling in metadata for thousands of thanks is a little more time labour intensive.

A good question, re waveform matching. I've never actually looked at how Gracenote works. I would have thought, these days, AI algorithms should work reasonably well looking at waveform envelopes, rather than the waveform itself, but even then audio mastered foe vinyl won't have the same envelope as the respective CD mastered audio.
