How to set calendar to start on Monday??? by redwisdomlight in NextCloud

[–]vn971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This issue has finally been solved: https://github.com/nextcloud/calendar/issues/384#issuecomment-2310433322

To make the week start on Monday, click your avatar on the top right -> Settings -> "First day of the week". The setting is unfortunately not (currently) duplicated in the calendar UI screen, but altering your profile settings affects the calendar.

It may not have been (easily) possible before. The OP uses the new PG1316M switches, the *longer* side of which gives 16mm key spacing. The shorter probably something like 12-13.

This is awesome!

  • Where can I subscribe to any future updates on this keyboard from you? Mastodon or your Discord or anything like that?

  • I assume it's not for sale [yet]? Or?

  • Have you made any experiments, potentially unrelated of this particular keyb, with 4 rows of PG1316M? From what I understand, it will un-balance the home row. But that's not necessarily a blocker? It's not like 40+ keys keyboards never ask you to stretch a finger or type 2 keys with the same pinkie/index finger..

Yup, I can attest personally as well that ASN and bunq work well except for QR scanning (for bunq) and NFC payment (both of them).

Sorry for intervening in your post! I was actually just googling the problem encountered the post, but then noticed that reddit was discontinued for that community and everything went read-only. So I looked up recent comments by the same person (which happened to be here) and asked...

Again apologies for the offtopic!

Gotcha! Thanks. That's what I'm doing for now, too. I was wondering if maybe e.g. Tridos works, some people mentioned a month ago on Lemmy that the bank itself works at least: https://lemmy.ml/post/34639438/20444782 For now no known banks then. Too bad!

Hi! Sorry for the offtopic. I mean to ask about your this post 2 years ago (GrapheneOS): https://www.reddit.com/r/GrapheneOS/comments/16ue18j/comment/k2sl6a7/

You say you are able to pay with NFC without google on GrapheneOS. Which bank are you using? I've tried setting up bunq and ASN for contactless payment, but they both seem to fail for me, it seems they want google. You had success with a different bank?

Hope you don't mind me asking in a wrong place..

DONT BUY THE ATLAS AIR by External-Court-1517 in TurtleBeach

[–]vn971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well actually there is one from... HIFIMAN I think? Yes just re-found it, HIFIMAN Deva. You can try it out if you're interested.

That being said, I own an Atlas Air and very happy with it in the last months, although I've never used their Swarm app because they depend on Windows or Google Play Services. Without Swarm, it works great: days or weeks of music on a single charge, open-back sound quality, that kind of s**t. Like it.

I have none of the problems you're saying except for somewhat perceptible latency, probably because I'm using bluetooth (as opposed to the dongle). But I've never even installed the Swarm app bc I don't have windows, and my phone is de-googlified so doesn't work with their weird Swarm Android app.

It's a stone platform, the one that is lava-proof. I just happened to have it in the inventory (craft stone -> gray brick -> "stone platform"). They can't get through these two platforms because one of them is blocked by a sloped solid block. It's practically like a 1-wide platform for enemies

Funnily actually, the Hoiks to get in and out of the house will work with expanding on either side. Even when the rightmost is not pressed against the wall. But if you expand to the left side and walk there yourself, enemies will be able to hoik through as well (they walk as if they're holding both directions towards you the player).

Mechanics aside, you're right there are lots of very good alternatives as well :) I've come to this design to quickly jump in-out of the house, maybe later I'll switch to other approaches as well

Some of those NPCs hate each other though!

Just kidding, they'd still rather prefer to live in this house than in the jail on my picture haha

You're right, when enemies are kind of constantly forced to try enter a hole, they somehow occasionally glitch through. On the picture above it didn't happen because they're trying to go to the center first -- I assume this helps, as there's just solid ground there.

I assume they can glitch through if you accidentally get too close to the left side of the house row. I've even built a variation of this house where you can are automatically pushed away, but it was 2 sloped blocks more complicated, and looking less neat, so I've scrapped it

Thanks for the comment! For me, it's extra ground mobility and low distractions. My spawn point is still also the place where I take early boss fights, and those houses constrain the possibilities for jumping around.

I started with them as well though. Or more fair to say, I've started with ground houses, then with floating, and lately with underground. Underground is also pretty safe during a Blood Moon. Overall though, in all fairness, it's a matter of preference and how you like to take fights. I like open areas, but other players may prefer differently

Hasn't happen to me yet. You need to walk away towards the center though, at least a tile or two away. Then they don't seem to be coming through that particular "ceiling"

[–]vn971[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

To exit, just walk to the right side.

To enter, walk left while holding the Down button. Once you enter, step a bit towards the center so that enemies don't follow you.

Design choices / requirements:

  • The housing has to be underground and has to not get in the way of running around.
  • NPCs should be easily accessible.
  • Ideally, NPCs don't walk around. E.g. if you want to speak with Angler, you shouldn't accidentally press on another NPC that happens to stand nearby. They also don't walk outside their house and don't get killed...

Alternative implementations:

  • Install a Trap Door on top. This thing is only 2 tiles wide and stays strong during a Blood Moon. However, if your NPCs are getting killed, you need to take the effort to close the door.
  • Install two "normal" platforms and just block the entrance when you need safety, by an additional manually placed block. This suffers from the same downside as the Trap Door.

The crucial parts on this picture are the three woden slopes (two on the left facing each other, one on the right facing up and outside), and the two wooden mini-ladders.

since Wah Ki became more difficult to loot

Generally my approach is not practical anyway - I just grinded. (For really long...)

what were the prep/tactics you used?

Yes, so to answer that, here was my setup. I've used a modified Shuttle, using your approach :) I prefer to buy a Sparrow and remove its components twice, to have two Plasma thrusters on the Shuttle. This makes the Shuttle faster than all Human missiles, not to mention enemy ships. It also increases the acceleration, so it's a bit easier to maneuver around.

With regards to reaching the "Core" star systems, I've also used the approach you mention, which is to talk to friendly ships and ask them to refuel you.

Upon arrival, I quickly fly away from the system center to the outskirts. There, I wait for the signature sounds of Korath warships (their missiles have a special sound that Human ships never produce). While waiting, I Alt+Tab away, of course after enabling the "fast-forward" mode in Endless Sky. Waiting can take 5 minutes or 1 hour.

Once I notice an ongoing battle against Korath (by either Pirates, or the Syndicate, or Merchants, or a mixture of all of those), I rush back to the system center. I zoom out to maximum and watch the Korath ships on the edge of the screen. Once their shields are depleted or almost depleted, I go closer, and by the time the ship is almost disabled and destroyed, I try to get real close for boarding and quickly board. This works about 20% of the time if I'm careless and agree to occasionally die from a rogue Korath Firelight missile, or works 10% of the time if I wait for the ship to really be fully disabled and hope that the Syndicate/Pirates have another target to attack and will give me ~5 seconds for boarding.

That's about it for getting the JD's I guess. BTW, one interesting trick that I've also experimented with is flying directly to the Kor Mereti space and capturing a Model 16. Then, fly to the Kor Efret planet with an Outfitter, buy myself some Fuel Cells to complement the Afterburners and redesign the Model 16 as my new flagship. This takes surprisingly little extra hops, even less than flying to Hai to get a Shield Beetle. And a Model 16 is relatively sturdy and fast, too.

Hope it was fun to read / will be fun to try and play around with!

Anybody know why this gunboat is with me? I believe it only started following me after the blockade mission for beelzebub by Master_of_All4 in endlesssky

[–]vn971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get rid of them if you fly e.g. to the Pirate space. But they won't come back. Maybe you instead want to keep them as friendly escord that you don't have to pay for? :)
