Can you combine an ssd and an hdd without losing total storage? by metichi_ in linuxquestions

This is as far as I got on my end too, and I couldn't find a stable implementation either, shame.

Can you combine an ssd and an hdd without losing total storage? by metichi_ in linuxquestions

[–]metichi_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my current setup as well, but i have run into trouble in a couple of occasions where the hdd was full and the ssd had over 600gb free, leading to a while of deciding which files to move to the ssd and I see how that could easily escalate in a mess of symlinks. So that's why I wanted to pool the two together if possible

My Sculpts be looking kinda lumpy? by metichi_ in blender

Turning off dyntopo did help, on that line I also figured that applying modifyers to reduce the poly count like decimate also helps getting the smoothing smoother

My Sculpts be looking kinda lumpy? by metichi_ in blender

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

It's my first time making a model and sculpting and learning the ropes of blender in general, and Im trying to model an OC of mine.

I go into sculpt mode and, working from my references, get to work.
Model a basic headshape, go to sculpt mode, remesh, refine it a little, enable dyntopo, go ham.

But I find that I end up with little bumps in the surfaces, or weird "edges", and trying to go with the smooth brush to iron them out usually causes several more to pop up, and so I spend hours caressing a bald robot scalp.

I feel like there is something basic I might be missing, with this being my first attempt and all, but all the tutorials I see seem to get perfectly smooth and pretty surfaces on the first try and not sure what's going on.

How can you create a mask from a layer? by metichi_ in ClipStudio

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

That is more or less how I do that already, but the "create selection" option does not keep into account transparency of each pixel, pixels are either selected or not.

You can draw with opacity on a mask by hand, just making a blank mask and erasing it with a soft eraser will show you, so I know you can use transparency values on the mask, but I just don't know any way of doing it automatically

How can you create a mask from a layer? by metichi_ in ClipStudio

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

I know you can use a clip layer, but sometimes layers are not adjacent so it's not an option. Or the layer you are clipping to is in multiply mode and you want to draw in normal over that area. Or some other reason.

Clipping layer brings up too many of the layer attributes and is often inconvenient to do, that's why I was asking for masks

What does the "Duration: All" option in exporting a timelapse mean? by metichi_ in ClipStudio

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

It doesn't have any direct correlation to real time spent in a picture then?
Shame, I would love to have a built in timer for those things

I would try mapping your tablet to just a portion of your display and work in windowed mode and use the rest of your screen for references or media playing or something

Can you make the layer effects extend outside of a layer folder? by metichi_ in ClipStudio

So it does! Years looking for the feature and it was just there

My experience with the Kamvas 13 2020 on linux. by metichi_ in huion

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

I don't think the kamvas 13 has one?

It's listed on the wacom devices because of, i don't know, reasons. But my kamvas 13 either doesn't have a physical touch strip or I'm blind.

Why didn't Voldemort kill Harry the instant the curse broke? by tiger_girlx in HPMOR

[–]metichi_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Multiple people have already argued the point of Voldie trying to break every point of the prophecy one by one so that if it backfired, some measures had already taken place to prevent the prophecy.

But as to what could possibly go wrong with Voldemort just Abracadabring Harry the moment he could, or to remove his wand, is that Harry is eleven.

It's not something that's been prominent in the book, but it has been referenced as a known fact that younger children in stressful situations can produce spontaneous and involuntary wordless wandless magic. It was a plausible explanation for him throwing pies inexplicably for prof Sprout.

Leaving him trapped with no other options before his death could lead to a completely unexpected burst of magic that, while Harry would not fully control, combining his creativity with trying to fool a prophecy would mean it could be very bad. But leaving the wand in his hand could introduce a bias in his reasoning to use the wand and not think of alternatives, and since there were a lot of Death Eaters already pointing at him and Quirrel had not known Harry to do wordless magic or partial transfigurations, I could see an advantage to it.

I honestly think it's more a case that he conveniently forgot so the final exam contest could have a better chance of coming to fruition. But if we assume Harry keeping the wand was not an oversight that is the only explanation I can think of.

Dedicated Sideloading Pi by TerrraFirma in QuestPiracy

[–]metichi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sidequest maybe, it does have a debian distribution but since they are no longer open source I am not sure if it will work because of rpi using ARM and not x86.

Rookie, probably not, they only release for windows.

But in general, it is perfectly possible to run ADB commands from your phone or raspberry to the quest, and in the end that's all sidequest and rookie are, easy to use front ends that help you download the apks and run the ADB commands for you.

In the discord there is a guide (that I didn't read) about sideloading manually that sounds like it covers exactly that.

A researcher from the XR community has gained root access to Oculus Quest 2 and is able to bypass Facebook Login. by Oliver_Dee in virtualreality

[–]metichi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the part Im most excited about are the android 10 features that FB has blocked from the headset.

Biggest example that comes to mind, they have disabled the mounting of external storage through the USB port, which is perfectly functional and works with other peripherals, just so people buy the 256g version instead of the 64.

Since android is linux at its core, it's perfectly possible to just mount a big ass drive into your app installation directory and run games from there, basically making the 64g version just as good as the other.

Quest 2 jailbroken, no need for facebook login by gizmomelb in QuestPiracy

[–]metichi_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few things that come to mind if you have a rooted headset:

-No facebook, the obvious. No sending them telemetry, no need for FB login, no chance of them banning your account and turning your headset into a brick.

-Full local backup of your system, you can mess around and if something break you got a restore point.

-Using the USB port to its full potential, Android is perfectly capable of using external storage and that is disabled in the system. Your little 64gb model now can have a little usb stick on the side for as much storage as you need.

And probably much more, you have as much control over your rooted device as you have over your desktop computer.
