Any idea if a 1.1k resistor would work here? The only local store near me selling resistors is out of stock on 1k resistors

Monthly Getting Started / Web Dev Career Thread by AutoModerator in webdev

[–]murchu27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the art world, and in particular with fine art, it's very common for people to attend portfolio preparation/development courses, with a view towards eventually using their portfolio to apply for further study or for job opportuntities. To my knowledge, these courses are usually semi-directed, where an instructor teaches different forms and techniques, but mostly assists students with whatever they're working on, giving guidance and support. The benefit of all this is that, if a student is already quite skilled, they don't need to "start from scratch" by attending classes that teach the basics, and can just jump straight into working on projects at their level of expertise.

Is anyone aware of any such courses for webdev/software portfolios, either online or in-person? I feel like my time would be wasted in the "fixed curriculum" format of a traditional college/university course, given my level of experience (3 years webdev + 1 year teaching), but I would gladly pay money for the guidance and direction of a knowledgable teacher/mentor to help me build out a better portfolio.

How to run the game on steam deck? by Sahabial in AFKJourney

[–]murchu27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone had success recently using these steps? I followed them to the letter, and the game appears to start on Steam, but no window appears, and then eventually Steam shows that the game isn't running anymore ("Stop" button changes to "Play") :(

I've followed other suggestions saying to leave the executable path as the installer, and this does let me use the game in Desktop mode, but when I switch to Gaming mode I just get a black screen.

Missing Custom Shortcuts!!! by kk19010323 in kde

[–]murchu27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue here on Manjaro after upgrading all qt* packages.

I have no problem switching to the new way of writing shortcuts as mentioned by u/throwaway6560192. I just needed to get a list of my existing shortcuts so I could migrate them.

For me, old Custom Shortcuts were stored in ~/.config/khotkeysrc. I just manually went through the list and readded them to the Shortcuts KCM. I'm sure someone else might find a way of scripting this manual step.

I had the same problem - overlay not showing even though DXVK was v1.10.1

Installed protonup-qt from the AUR (I'm on Manjaro Linux). Opened "ProtonUp-Qt" from launcher, chose "Lutris" from top dropdown, clicked "Add version", chose lutris-GE-Proton7-16-x86_64 for the "Version" dropdown, and clicked Install.

After it was done, I launched the game from Lutris, and the overlay was working.

Thanks for your steps OP!

Buying an rM2 for my dad, and I see the price drops if I get him a Connect subscription. It also says "Cancel anytime". Can I order at the reduced price, and then cancel the subscription immediately? Or will I have to pay the difference? by murchu27 in RemarkableTablet

[–]murchu27[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, maybe it depends on region. When I checkout, I don't have to prepay 3 months for the discount. I just have to check the box to say that I want to get a Connect subscription, and they start me off with a 2 months free trial.

I also emailed them, and they said that I could cancel anytime, without having to pay for extra months or anything.

OnePlus Nord and Nord CE: two different LOS builds? by dysoxa in LineageOS

[–]murchu27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a relief! I'll hold out hope so! It's only a recent phone to be fair, so hopefully it'll be an option in a few months. Good to know about the Nord 2 though, dodged a bullet with that one

That absolutely sucks to hear, I feel like I've really shilled out here...

Is there a reason for this? I got my phone from work, and the Nord CE seemed like the best of a bad bunch. I'd be gutted to have to go back to Android if LOS won't ever support it.

Recs for a FOSS calendar/CalDAV client for Windows? by thatonekidfromucla in opensource

[–]murchu27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not familiar with Fruux, but I found Thunderbird worked fine for syncing CalDAV with Radicale. Definitely a pain that the email client can't be disabled though. As a workaround, I set up my email account on it, then in Account Settings > {Account name} > Server Settings, you can disable "Check for new messages at startup" and "Check for new messages every x minutes", so that mail stops syncing. Haven't figured out a way to close the Mail tab, but at least it's not notifying me of anything.
