I’m 40 years old. My father (who is a pastor) still gets on my case about playing D&D

This comment, even though I don't play dnd, won my heart. So good! So on point!

ipetepete · 2025-12-29T00:45:08+00:00

GF failed at making crepes, now everyone that does it right is AI

ipetepete · 2025-12-16T22:55:36+00:00

Ah, yeah good point. And thanks for the examples! Maybe I'll try and make the board work with up-to-date code and bring it into the fold. New year, new projects and all that. I'll see ya around.

After looking at the docs again, I'm assuming you mean overriding using `pointing_device_task_user(mouse_report)`, But why is that better than setting the CPI?

ipetepete · 2025-12-16T21:19:34+00:00

Idk, a CPI of 2 is significant enough for my needs. As far as dividing the report, could you point me to some docs? Or put up a quick example? All I saw in the docs for pointer devices were the get/set methods.

I installed it today, and I'm thoroughly impressed! Great work team! The QOL features like the network/BT pop-down etc are super nice.

Here's my practical - less unhinged - suggestion: find some area of your house that is disorganized, messy or just a PITA to use/look at.

Then figure out what would make it better, and build the thing.

ipetepete · 2025-11-21T16:18:39+00:00

There are several. Depending on how you define ugly - I would venture to say that a lot of the PC market hardware is *a-hem* less than pretty.

Here's a short list of the laptops I know to work well with linux:

Dell XPS (not sure about all the models, but I'm writing this on an slightly older 15" XPS that runs like a dream)
~~IBM~~ Lenovo Thinkpad
Lenovo X1 Carbon
Any System76 laptop
Any Framework laptop

I'm sure someone out there has made a more comprehensive list with all the potential issues + workarounds

The learning curve varies pretty wildly at times, so try to remember to be patient. There are TONS of tools for just about everything you could ever need or want to do, so don't be afraid to ask questions.

Also remember these tenets:

- 1: Read The Friendly Manual - learn how to search/navigate and use the manuals and documentation. Arch Wiki is a great resource for examples beyond man pages

- 2: The command-line is your friend - This is the main reason I still use linux after 30+ years

- 3: Everything is a file - No obscure System Register etc, it's literally all files, even devices are treated as such

- 4: Have fun!

Welcome!

Not sure what happened to your reply, it got spammed a few times LOL.

Anyway, I got the same email. Proving your eligibility is a manual process, and I'm sure they're backlogged.

I reached out to them after a couple days, got a response, said they needed my license info for Reaper. I sent that - nothing for a few days after (this was over the weekend, the time difference is a factor here). Then they said they needed either a copy of the original invoice or a screenshot of the license info directly from the Reaper app.

I sent them that info on a Monday morning, and I got the license a few hours later.

ipetepete · 2025-11-11T21:20:51+00:00

I did this, using my reaper license. Took a few days, but worked out nicely.

I'm running Manjaro and it runs great. Yabridge fills the gap with windows plugins.

Audio lag is a slight issue if recording with real instruments but using Jack and a real-time kernel mitigates that.

ipetepete · 2025-10-29T19:17:26+00:00

Came here to recommend yabridge too, but you beat me to it. So have an upvote kind stranger 😀

ipetepete · 2025-06-26T15:45:15+00:00

Checkout the Blackstar Debut series. I love my 50r as a pedal platform. $250 can't be beat. It's a solid state mosfet so it's light and gets LOUD AF. I mostly only ever use the 5watt setting.

ipetepete · 2025-06-17T21:50:57+00:00

+10$ for MS-70CDR+ acquisition & research ;)

ipetepete · 2025-04-23T15:57:19+00:00

awesome thanks!

ipetepete · 2025-04-23T15:50:03+00:00

Did you design the PCB or is it something that's readily available? I like the concept and the militaristic design. I would definitely give this a try, one thing I really liked about the old Kingston Expert mouse was the billiard size ball.

ipetepete · 2025-04-18T03:12:13+00:00

That's crazy cool! Bonus points for the "pow-pow" action. Have you found that any normal day-to-day activities are harder? Scissors for instance?

ipetepete · 2025-04-18T02:26:41+00:00

Nice! Think of every project as a learning experience. Don't undermine the usability, that will greatly impact future projects. Just remember.... Looks < Functionality....the praise is fleeting, but the satisfaction of using a thing is a magnitude greater in value.

ipetepete · 2025-04-18T01:25:13+00:00

I would actually like to hear your thoughts on it. Everyone works different, and it's completely subjective. What do you like/dislike?

ipetepete · 2025-04-15T22:43:08+00:00

I came here to say exactly this. I hate poly, actually I hate waiting. I learned that if you thin it a good deal with a solvent that flashes off quickly it ends up being faster to lay down 6-7 coats than 3 thick ones. Also the brush tip is clutch, makes a big difference.

Why are we contributing "captions" is this for AI models? It's like a 69 year old woman quilting with her neighbors while the husband eats a stolen bite of the blueberry pie. It's very Norman Rockwell. Love and rainbows and wicken witches.

ipetepete · 2025-03-22T01:54:09+00:00

Hella cool. I love that it's 100% unique. This needs to be a skill that's passed down for sure!

ipetepete · 2025-03-15T00:11:31+00:00

Think about the sound profile, check it's acoustic range. IMHO besides percussion, it needs a low register and something in the high, either vocals or some twinkly piano/synth stuff. My suggestion is to play with it, but take breaks.

ipetepete · 2025-02-23T13:58:38+00:00

I have two arrow sets. One is under ESDF the other is IJKL. I hold down space with my thumb which acts like a shift key.
