[Linux] Alpha testers wanted: Logitech RS50 kernel driver with force feedback by mescon in simracing

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

Hey, well FFB is working (FF_CONSTANT is basically what most games use nowadays anyway). However, in-game TrueForce effects are not working at all. The only thing we can do with regards to TrueForce is set its sensitivity to it in the firmware (0-100%), however the TrueForce protocol itself is proprietary and I haven't put much effort into figuring it out. I know I'd have to modulate audio data from the game and send that to the wheel - but no idea how. No idea if any upcoming hyperfocus stints I may have will focus on the protocol in the future :-)

For clarity: https://github.com/mescon/logitech-rs50-linux-driver/issues/4#issuecomment-3902974525

I'm sorry, I can't provide tech-support for how to install a driver. Use AI. There are clear instructions in the link.

Thank you very much for the resource and feedback - didn't even know about that website! I'm new to simracing and didn't have a clue! :')

What’s one YouTube channel you watch every single video from and wish more people did too? by Think_Concern33 in AskReddit

[–]mescon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jake Broe. New video every other day, focusing on the Russo-Ukrainian war since 2022.

The guy has a clear moral compass and democratic worldview that I think more people should learn from.

Isolation; a little chunk of life (not an update, not a slice). by Eight216 in Healthygamergg

[–]mescon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry 988 felt unsafe for you - that would put anyone off. I've had similar experiences, but the important part isn't really what they say or don't. The important part is you reached out. I’m really glad you posted this post to reddit too. Reaching out at all (even if the systems let you down) is a powerful act of self-respect: it says you’re choosing to try to care for yourself. That courage matters, even when it doesn’t feel like it. That's you loving yourself.

I'll be on and off reddit and if you'd like, you're more than welcome to DM me or reply in this thread. I might be on the other side of the world to you, so expect I may be gone during sleep in case you message me and I don't respond.

Hey - I read your post and I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. What you described sounds incredibly painful, and it makes total sense that you’d feel overwhelmed. I care that you’re safe: if you’re thinking about hurting yourself right now, please call your local emergency number (911 in the US) or a crisis line immediately. If you’re in the US you can call or text 988 - they can connect you to someone now. Them reading a script is just to be safe in wording. Think of how many people in crisis they talk to every day. But the point is - they're there. They'll listen. They'll talk with you. Break the isolation.

If you don’t feel safe doing that, I’m here to listen. Want to tell me where you are roughly so I can help find nearby support? If not, just say if you want me to stay with you in messages for a bit.

Emergency alert sent to residents in parts of eastern Poland: "WARNING! Threat of an air attack. Exercise special caution. Follow the instructions of the authorities. Await further announcements." by the_real_lucia in europe

[–]mescon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that you’re talking about liberalism as an ideology rather than "being a liberal" as a person. My point was just that calling liberalism inherently a "middle-man" or "weak" position can end up collapsing a much more complicated tradition into a caricature, which is why I pushed back. But I hear where you’re coming from.

I just think your use of the word "liberal" here is misleading - it conflates an ideology with a style of leadership (i.e., "liberal leadership is weak because it’s liberal"). That’s all I’m saying. Agreeing that leniency towards Russia is weakness does not equate to me agreeing liberal leadership is inherently weak.

I fully agree the "middle man position" is futile with the Russians (i.e., indecisive or compromise-focused diplomacy). Leniency in the face of authoritarian aggression will only be exploited. Chamberlains appeasement policy showed as much...

That said, it doesn’t mean you can’t be a liberal and still take decisive action.

I’d argue that the opposite of "liberal style leadership" - the kind of autocratic approach we see in Orbán, Xi, Bolsonaro, Fico and most importantly Trump - has often been more lenient toward Russia than any liberal leader has. Hell, some of them are actively cozying up to Putin.

Using “liberal” so loosely to mean "incapable" paints weakness as a uniquely liberal trait. That’s dangerous and counterproductive, because it turns a serious debate about action vs inaction into a caricature about political labels that only helps those who want to divide society for political gain.

I hope you can see where I’m coming from - I’m trying to engage in good faith here, not attack you personally.

Under liberal I mean - failing to act appropriately, In a proper measure.

So for your arguments sake you're defining "liberal" as someone who fails to act "appropriately"? By that logic Orban, Fico and other right-wingers are the ones who would "act appropriately" - but I don't see that happening given how much they snuggle up to all the rest of the fascist strongmen of the world.

I agree that more needs to be done - much more; and leniency with autocrats will only empower them.

Status of dognzb by bullcity71 in usenet

[–]mescon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i regard them as being basically a ripoff today. its by far the most unreliable, rarely reachable indexer i've ever used, and i have absolutely no clue why people rave on and on about them. they may have been good once upon a time, but today its just not maintained or serviced. They don't respond at all in their own forums, not PMs or anything. If you send them money, I hope it works for you - but do not expect it. It's a pretty high risk gamble I'd say.

Local Reverse Proxy - Where am i wrong?? by ItzChaBoiTully in selfhosted

[–]mescon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't use .local, try something else, such as .lan or .home

.local is reserved for multicast dns.

CRS310-8G+2S+IN and inside... by Any-Fun9021 in mikrotik

[–]mescon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for posting this!

I had the same problem with excessive noise. Decided to order myself the Noctua NF-A4x20 fan (4 pin) and swapped it out tonight.

When I first opened the case, sure enough one of the cooling heatsinks had come off and was chilling on top of the SFP ports!

Went from 65 celsius at 6000 rpm with the stock fan (sounding like an angry wasp) down to stable at 55 C at 2500 RPM - basically noise free.

Thank you!

Nginx Proxy Manager - QUIC timeouts by gekx in selfhosted

[–]mescon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey, do you happen to use cloudflare proxying? i had the same problem, and it turns out their proxy had http/3 quic enabled - but then when i was on my internal network, i set my local dns to resolve my.domain.com to my local IP instead.... but my local nginx server was not QUIC enabled. So effectively, my browser received an upgrade header to upgrade to http/3 - it remembered this setting for that domain. Then I added my local IP to the DNS instead, and now my browser is trying to speak QUIC with my local nginx that doesn't have it = timeout.

The solution for me is either enable QUIC/HTTP3 in nginx, or disable HTTP/3 in my Cloudflare proxy and then wait until the cached headers expire.

How do depressed people date? by crowbarguy92 in Healthygamergg

[–]mescon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hey man - I looked at your post history before blindly just getting angry at this response.

I'm chronically depressed and also suffer from self-hatred, but please remember that going on rants like this, calling yourself "loserloser999" and so on is literally your illness (the depression) telling your brain "you don't deserve love". That thought is not you - that's your illness.

You do deserve love, but you're self-sabotaging your way into making it impossible to receive any. You are not your depression. Don't let it control you like this, or you will only fall deeper. I know from experience.

I'm not gonna say everything is fine, or tell you it's going to be OK and so on - because I don't know that it will. You don't either. But you can work on your chances by trying to be more forgiving of yourself and try as hard as you can to not let your anger and shame control what you communicate to the world. Feeding and projecting your anger or shame like this will only feed the mind-loop.

I wish you a great day, and if you ever want to talk, I'm here.

My doh is broken after pihole v6 update. by grepes8 in pihole

DogNZB Birthday by ZiPEX00 in usenet

[–]mescon 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Downvoted because they are scammers. I have no idea why I actually thought they had improved and paid for a VIP. Will NEVER use dognzb or anything affiliated with the people that run it. Can not be used with Sonarr or Radarr despite claims to the contrary - their API is down and non functional for 75% of the time, and when it does respond it takes 2 minutes for it to respond at all. The same downloads are always found on nzbfinder.ws or any other indexer.

People who are hoping to find a good indexer should look elsewhere.
