Is it wrong that i would like to start a small 3d print business? in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

Get a job. Work on designs in your spare time. Sell STLs or put them up MakerWorld for Boosts.

How much of a persons body is needed to survive? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Then we start getting into philosophy on self and also how much machine assistance is allowed. If you can provide nutrition and oxygen to the brain, you could probably be a brain in a jar and still count.

It's not user friendly. If you're looking for something anywhere near intuitive as an iPod was, it's a long way away.

That said, it's mostly a firmware issue, so it can get there, but it needs a lot of work. I'm hopeful that it will be better in a few years.

Edit: To answer your question, it's a cool bit of tech, and it can play music, but it's of interest as a bit of tech and not as a music player.

As a note, Tangara is for tech people who happen to like music, not for people who like music generally. It might get there eventually, but it sure as hell didn't launch like that.

when is "cool" fine and when is it rude? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

It depends both on context and on tone. Tone can make it excited or dismissive.

Why do I drag my feet when it's time to start a new task even if I know I'll enjoy it once I get started? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

There's a large overlap between ADHD symptoms and autism symptoms.

How strong is fermented bean curd supposed to taste exactly? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Natto is one of the worst flavors and textures I've ever had in my life.

Roasted natto is not bad.

vlc.py -- setting the time in a song sets the song stuttering and it doesn't really recover (self.python)
 

This happens if I use set_time or set_position. Is this typical, or am I just not doing it right?

This is on a Pi Zero 2 W, so not the most powerful, but should be able to handle this.

These are the relevant bits of how I'm setting up the player:

    self._vlc = vlc.Instance()
    self._player = self._vlc.media_player_new()
    self._list_player = self._vlc.media_list_player_new()
    self._list_player.set_media_player(self._player)

    playlist = self._vlc.media_list_new()
    for index in self._play_order:
      playlist.add_media(self._vlc.media_new_path(self._songs[index]))

    self._list_player.stop()
    self._list_player.set_media_list(playlist)
    self._list_player.play()

And trying to seek is just this:

    self._player.set_time(_s_to_ms(seconds))

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Bent RAM Clip (infosec.pub)
 

I've somehow managed to bend a RAM clip so it can't clip anymore because it's blocking itself. I haven't been able to bend it back. Any suggestions?

RPi 0W - How to stop long-running action (self.raspberry_pi)
 

cross-posted from: https://infosec.pub/post/12005873

I have a Keybow MINI hooked up to a Raspberry Pi Zero W, and I'm using Python to respond to events. I have one button that kicks off playing a song on a passive buzzer, and I'm wondering if there's a way to have a button press stop the song before it completes.

Keybow OS (self.linux)
 

Does anyone know if it's possible to have events from the Keybow keyboard cause effects on the Pi Zero W running the keyboard instead of outputting to another machine? Or do I need to go with a different OS and figure out the handling of the keys myself?

Linux Mint battery tuning for Framework 16 (self.linuxmint)
 

cross-posted from: https://infosec.pub/post/11305365

Anyone have a list of changes that they've made to increase battery life? I've got about three hours (with 80% limit in BIOS, which I might get rid of), so I'm sure there's a lot that can be changed.

Not asking for password after hibernate? (self.linuxmint)
 

I just hibernated my laptop and then brought it back up, and it went straight into LMDE without asking me for a password on a lock screen. That seems.. like weird behavior. Is there something I can set to fix that?

Fingerprint reader in LMDE 6 with Cinnamon? (self.linuxmint)
 

Anyone been able to set up a fingerprint reader in LMDE 6 with Cinnamon? I can use fprintd-enroll and fprintd-verify successfully, but it doesn't show up in pam-auth-update so I don't know how to add it to the login screen or the terminal.

Linux Mint (LMDE 6) drivers for Framework 16? (self.framework)

I know the drivers come in the distro package manager, but, is there a set straight from AMD? Trying to use Brave causes freezes and black screen flashes, which I'm pretty sure is a driver thing.

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Outpost Control (self.star_wars)

Is there any way to complete the Outpost Control job? It's that only (non-First Order) job I haven't completed, and I'm not sure how to. I thought maybe I'd need to install and retrieve the skimmer, but I did that today and it didn't progress the job chat.

Edit: I've tried installing defenses on every panel, but that also didn't work. Next time I'm on planet, I'll try installing the skimmer and leaving it long enough to gather some credits.

Edit2: Okay, I think maybe it doesn't actually complete until one faction gains control of the outpost for the day, and not enough people play for that to happen. Damn.
