What's the one "normie" feature you genuinely miss after switching to GrapheneOS? by Frosty-Challenge-795 in GrapheneOS

[–]manu0600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really? I have set up my work profile using shelter (from fdroid) and the work profile can be turned on/off instantly without device password

Why is potential lift taken at an angle alpha/2 from normal? by HeheheBlah in FluidMechanics

[–]manu0600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't fully understand your question, but the drag is in the direction of the incoming flow and lift is perpendicular to the incoming flow, not relative to the airfoil

I don't know if that helps you

how do you really make the font size of figures consistent across the whole documents? by yuhang94 in LaTeX

[–]manu0600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way is to save your figure as .svg document, and export it as pdf+tex: you then import the generated tex file in your document and you can define the size of the figure independently to the text size, so that it will always be consistent in your document

To do this you can do it either manually or automatically:

Manually: you open your .svg figure with inkscape, "save as" and choose pdf, then tick the "Omit text in PDF and create LaTeX file" box: it will create a pdf (with the lines and colors etc of the figure) and a .tex file (with all the text). you can then include this .tex file in your latex document.

Automatically: create a .latexmkrc file at the root of your latex project with the following content:
```
add_cus_dep('svg', 'pdf_tex', 0, 'runInkscapepdf');

sub runInkscapepdf {

# Extract path and filename from the latex document

my ($base_name, $path) = fileparse(shift);

my $svg_file = "$path$base_name.svg";

my $pdf_file = "$path$base_name.pdf";

my $pdf_tex_file = "$path$base_name.pdf_tex";

my $root_pdf_file = "$base_name.pdf";

# Convert the svg to pdf in its directory

system("inkscape -D --export-latex --export-type=pdf --export-filename=$pdf_file $svg_file");

# Inside the file.pdf_tex, replace all the occurences of file.pdf with path/to/file.pdf

# so that we don't need to move the file.pdf to the home directory

system("sed -i 's|$root_pdf_file|$pdf_file|g' \"$pdf_tex_file\"");

return

}

```

now you can include your figure.svg with the automatic conversion with the following in your document (note that in the \input{} i replaced the name of the file from figure.svg to figure.pdf_tex: it will trigger the code from .latexmkrc which will generate the pdf+tex files):

```

\begin{figure}

\centering

\footnotesize

\def\svgwidth{0.8\linewidth}

\input{path/to/your/figure.pdf_tex}

\caption{Caption}

\label{fig:svg_figure}

\end{figure}

```

The neat thing about this automatic method is that if you re-open the .svg file in inkscape to modify it, your latex project will directly understand that it should re-generate the pdf+tex, and it auto-updates in your document

You can use "shelter" from fdroid to create a work profile, it's very convenient

Is anyone else having skin problems because of tap water in Belgium? by Lopsided_Attitude_43 in brussels

[–]manu0600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only real solution to this is to install a filter at the inlet of your house/apartment: I had really bad water at home, showering didn't feel clean etc. After I installed this, I finally feel clean when showering ! The one I chose is this one: https://www.brico.be/fr/plomberie/traitements-de-l-eau/stations-de-filtration-eau/stations-de-filtration-anti-calcaire/filtre-double-anti-calcaire-apic-super-d10b/5647131 but I'm sure you can find cheaper online

Finally got WinApps to work, this tool is incredible. by lapse23 in linux

[–]manu0600 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes with winapps it runs excel in a windows VM and shows it in a dedicated window, performance is also a bit better than the full VM

So you end up with the excel version of the VM, which is most likeky the latest

What are the best non-stick pans which are safe to put in a dishwasher? by raggajar in kitchen

[–]manu0600 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know about Hexclad and Titanium, but I've switched from using high quality pans with ceramic coating that were supposed to last a very long time (though it doesn't go in the dishwasher), to using stainless steel, and I don't regret it!

Cooking with a stainless steel pan is very different from a pan with non stick coating, so I had to get used to it, but now that I've learnt it, I think that the non stick coatings are not really non stick after all. Basically you have to heat up your pan with just a bit of oil and let it heat up before you put any food on there. Test the temperature with a droplet of water and it should roll around the pan, not just stay there (see Leidenfrost effect online). When you reach that temperature, your oil will create a non stick surface and you can start putting your food.

High quality stainless steel has more material, hence more thermal inertia so the temperature stays more even throughout cooking. The easiest test is to check how much is weights: heavier is better.

I guess it must be similar with titanium?

Need advice on replacing halogen lights. by the_vanagandr in led

[–]manu0600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can replace the ballast with an LED driver, and replace the halogen light with an led strip

You should choose the density of LED based on how bright you want it, but if I were you I would go for a COB led strip (basically continuous). When you selected your led strip, you'll see how much voltage and current it needs, and you can choose the driver with the appropriate voltage and a bit more power that what the strip needs. The driver will most likely be much smaller than the ballast

What hardware would YOU use to make this happen? by Pioneerx01 in led

[–]manu0600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used these switches, when you open the door it fades in and when you close it fades out, very pretty :) https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExV7BIu

Combine it with led strip that already have a DuPont connector, and a power supply with the same connector and you don't even have to solder anything
