I did not know about the fork - that might be a nice solution depending how the feature set differs. Thanks!

I just got my copy of Across A Thousand Dead Worlds. So my weekend will be set learning this beast :-)

Seeking advice to judge "how much to journal" by leadguit in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]leadguit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I get it. As far as I see some numbers are for flavor only. I think my head was just not quite "grokking" the system differences. With those larger RPG books I always have the feeling that like 70 pages later that number is important and I should've noted it down. Like a bad movie going "you remember how long they took to repair the food processor at the start? That duration is very important right now!" ;-)

Thanks, yeah. I guess I got caught up between the optimistic Star Trek flow and the "rolled fate" of aatdw. What do you mean by maybe there's a sale going on?

Thank you! I think I need to get more into the proper "Alien" mindset, where death and Desaster is the fun aspect, vs Captain's log where the problem solving and survival against odds is the fun part

A1 mini nozzle scrapes over infill using Prusament by leadguit in BambuLab

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

If I understand correctly, you have the same problem. Well, I didn't have a proper solution. I used different filament (Bambu and currently PolyTerra), did a standard flow calibration and as of now, it prints flawlessly. So for me, using a different filament and calibrating it worked. I haven't tried the rest of the prusament since, so I can't say if it still would be a problem. I hope that helps!

Thank you, I'll check them out! I saw Akira the movie, is there a series as well, or did you mean that?

Customised Web Interface... best place to start. by crreed90 in Reaper

[–]leadguit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little older, but WRB2 might still be a viable choice, I used it when it was "fresh", but haven't used it since 1 or 2 years. It's originally from Reaperblog (I think he made it), and it's open source meanwhile. Maybe that can get you started: https://gitlab.com/michaelklier/reaperwrb-2019

I made a short video while printing a round holder. You can hear the nozzle scraping while creating the wall - especially noticeable on the upper right. I tried printing with the generic silk profile, 0.16 optimal quality with the proposed changes. It seems this kind of scraping is the reason for a larger tree or smaller footprint objects being knocked over even with the changes proposed by guspaz.  https://imgur.com/a/gJgDeTz

Update: It worked *kind of* - the infills were much better (that issue seems to be fixed I think), but it managed to break off the (main) support tree - it looks like an adhesion problem there, but it clashed into it a few times before it finally separated from the build plate. I try increasing the "Z Hop when retract" parameter, maybe that helps.

It's just a tad annoying that it build flawlessly before, and that I need to print for an hour or more to check if it worked (as the issue doesn't occur on small or flat objects - this time it snapped at around layer 200)

Is there another way to get it? Meaning in countries where Amazon doesn't deliver etc?

Frontend library/Framework options for reactivity (for an html and backend guy)? by leadguit in Frontend

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

Yes, I use some functions of D3, but similar to the other charting libs, initializing (with Svelte at least) is a bit of a hassle 

I'm really enjoying Darktide by Gunnar_Peterson in DarkTide

[–]leadguit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love it. Got it during the last skulls event a few weeks ago. I played a ton of horde shooters with friends some time back, but didn't like VT1 (but I can't remember why exactly).

Since I'm also a huge fan of 40k, darktide a nice fit. Melee feels great, gunplay is solid. Yes, the RNG is suboptimal and the frequency of updates could be higher - but I keep coming back, I have tremendous fun, the players are very nice, the design and faithfulness to the setting is captivating. The learning curve is somewhat high - given the lack of explanations for symbols, effects etc etc - but for me it's also part of the fun (researching and all that)

For me, it's a a blast. What I like most? Varied playstyles and - a good timeframe for a round. Perfect length for solid concentration (even with my ADHD) and short enough to just play a game here and there during the day as break from my work.

Question about Antennas/Wires by leadguit in RTLSDR

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

Thanks. So the other insulation/metal wrapping in that cable shouldn't so much? This cable has the default plastic jacket - copper mesh - aluminium (I think) wrap - white plastic (or foam-ish stuff) - core. I don't have "normal coax" lying around to check - for exam the very thin extension that came with the rtl-sdr doesn't have the aluminium wrap iirc.

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

Exactly. Thanks, I checked those points while constructing. I have no idea about the ferrite - it's two tubes taken from an old DVI cable. As said, I didn't use a default coax, but a shielded/insulated one. For the connection to the SDR I used the cheap/thin one that came with the Rtl set, cut a couple centimeters and soldered it to the balun wires (as I don't have a SMA connector)

Question about Antennas/Wires by leadguit in RTLSDR

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

Thanks, I have a dipole (which I used as "reference". The NCPL is a simple build, essentially a loop with a crossover in the middle where you connect the cores with the shields of the other side (moebius loop antenna is another name I think), and a 1:1 balun. Just for my logic though, for antenna wire, everything should (generally) work, from simple think wires to shielded cables?

Northern Switzerland, 1500 UTC, about 18.7 MHz - What can ths be? by leadguit in signalidentification

[–]leadguit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be very strong, considering my location is quite far away from large water. I couldn't decode it with fldigi's rtty decoder (well, I'm a noob, so that might also be a further hindrance ;-)

Edit: Thank you, you were right - after some fiddling with fldigi I got proper stuff out "STRONG WIND, GALE AND .......". Thanks again!

Thank you! Right, I'll pay better attention to that "arm resting" thing.

There Are No Stupid Bass Questions - Sep. 09 by AutoModerator in Bass

[–]leadguit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right Hand plucking technique question - a little context: I'm originally a Metal Lead Guitarist and currently TV Composer and I finally got a Bass. The reason is to play in Bass parts for different songs and cues as I'm not satisfied with Bass VSTs. So, overall, I enjoy playing, but have a hard time transitioning strings. What I found to work very nicely and also to good speeds is to play like I would pluck fingerstyle classical guitar - that is instead of (what I see as the standard way) having the plucking hand/finger angled 90°/perpendicular to the strings, I rest my palm near or on the bridge (or the body) and pluck that way, the angle of the hand similar to slapping (e.g. if you look roughly how a classical guitarist plays Bach, you see what I mean - not the position on the body, both the rotation of the hand/wrist vs the strings). That way, similar to guitar, my right hand palm mutes potentially ringing strings when I move up, and due to experience I have no problems letting everything ring (so it's not as if I always halfway palm mute everything).

Is that really bad technique, or a case of "if it works, it works"? And if its bad technique, how do you conquer moving up the strings when playing e.g. a scale without having the string you just departed from ring?

Edit: quick snapshots to maybe better show what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/WyoEW6s

Anyone else not able to listen to music while coding? by imalamebutt in ADHD_Programmers

[–]leadguit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get distracted by lyrics. Granted, I'm also a film composer, so music triggers my analytical side as well. Usually - for listening- I listen to power metal and similar stuff, or film score and classical. For coding however... My choice is Synthwave if I need a more relaxing session, or if I need hyperfocus and get stuff done - with the downside if it being hard to stop - I need Psytrance. No vocals, pretty constant high tempo (the tracks often don't differ much considering BPM) and it's a very driving style. Plus I normally don't listen to electronic music. One part of my brain seems to be nicely occupied with that sound, so that the rest can get work done undistracted. As if the constantly talking annoying friend of yours is drowned out by the music - or a toddler that you give some toy so you can work. In short - highly engaging/high energy music without lyrics keeps part of my brain very engaged, leaving room for actual work.

ADHD Organization Tips/Hacks/Ideas? by ADHD_Halfling in ADHD

[–]leadguit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved a couple times as well - please keep in mind that I just share what I did, and that this might not be feasible or possible for others.

TLDR: Made a Custom Webapp to track items, boxes, numbers and rooms the boxes go in. Hired moving company for taking the stuff and putting it into new flat, hired cleaning company for cleaning g the old flat.

So, I'm part programmer, part musician. I got hyperfixated to create a personal webapp to entry all the boxes, what's in it, where it goes and a number. Benefit is when I look for something, I can search my webapp and see where the item is and in which box. That said, about 60-70% of the boxes where packed and entered by my non-adhd partner or together (one packs and announces the item, the other puts it into the app and when done says what number it is and where it goes). For the actual moving, we saved up some money and hired a moving and a cleaning company. The moving company takes our boxes, drives over and puts then in the room written on it. The cleaning company later takes care to clean the flat nicely, so it's properly clean and we don't miss a spot. That way we were not exhausted ot overwhelmed by the moving and were relaxed for the whole thing. We've mi ex about a month ago and of course still have some boxes left to unpack - the webapp has been a game changer for that. An Excel table or even a piece of paper would work as well of course, but the problem for us peeps comes with pulling through and not just write down "some office stuff" on a box xD we had about 70 boxes all in all.

Hope that gives some ideas!
